There can be no social justice without disability justice.

letting us change our name font is the most tempted i've ever been to get discord nitro. big msn vibes. but i find it very hard to justify $150 a year for that.

Been deep in the UI mines upgrading the Witch Words interface. 💬 I realised that a long list was going to be too clunky for constructing Phrases. So now we have this radial business, any Word is always 1 to 3 clicks away. Much snappier, for the working Witch. 🧹 #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

salted matcha and caramel milkshake is the one

Finally got around to migrating all the DevBlogs from cohost (rip). Added a new section dedicated to them on the Final Profit website. Lots of juicy insights to digest, such as Mrs. Five's origins as a Nintendo Mii. www.finalprofit.com.au/devblogs/the...

Any other game devs else having trouble uploading Steam depots today? It's moving slower than a snail.

Christmas shopping for my nephews is extra exciting this year because they've discovered anime and d&d.

Oil Town breached 1000 wishlists today, still a lot to go, but a lovely milestone.

Been sprucin' up the title screen.

I think the weakest element of Final Profit is its at-a-glance visual appeal. I've been trying to improve on that for Oil Town in a bunch of ways. The latest are these text-background graphics. Trying to blend both Witchy and Oily vibes.

attempting to google how long a particular food item should be baked in the oven. step one, preheat the oven to $175. or for a crispier result, consider preheating the oven to $175.

Dusted off the Wii U today, then decided to pop on to eShop expecting it to not even load. But instead it's still there with everything browsable, just it's all marked as 'not available right now'. Eerie.

Working on a song for Oil Town but I accidentally made Clown Music...

I’ve been working for 15 years as an animator and I can tell you without a doubt, the best fix I ever found for imposter syndrome is living a full life where your days and worth don’t hinge on whether or not you were a good animator today.

"Transsexuality is bourgeois" reflects the common belief that medicine, technology, and any improvements to quality of life are owed to capitalism. The reality is that capitalism holds these improvements hostage for the sake of wealth.

This reminds me of how David Lynch said he wanted to keep working but couldn’t because COVID posed too great a risk & people stopped being willing to mask up to protect others. Ableism is an insidious evil in society & healthcare. It convinces us to abandon each other for profit & convenience.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

For those not familiar with Final Profit, it's a capitalist RPG in which you fight against a bastard corp taking over a fantasy world, here's a demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1958030/Final_Profit_A_Shop_RPG_Demo (Beware the horse dimension)

show me a games event that has an infection mitigation plan (that goes beyond hoping people wash their hands)

I'm going to preface that I do not want to criticize the wider point here, however I feel like one reason why we get this problem is that there really aren't that many events around that enable people from the margins to actually participate.
