"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!" counterpoint! the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

admittedly the ending of LOVE ETERNAL has me feeling all sorts of conflicted emotions and the difficulty curve felt a bit All Over The Place at times but I will be thinking about it for a long time, which makes it good art. easy recommend. store.steampowered.com/app/3010610/...

I NEVER EVER THOUGHT I'D SEE THE DAY

had the best Valentine's Day of my life yesterday 💙💙💙

getting increasingly stressed that I've only got a single lifetime to work on all my projects

Take 2 minutes of your time and watch "The Hyrule Fantasy", a lovely Zelda fan film by french animator Ousmane Cissé. www.catsuka.com/news/2026-02...

Also on that note, Calico's got a ton more face-sprites now! ^^ @jumasoul-arts.bsky.social did a fantastic job putting these together, and thanks to @waveparadigm.com's technical expertise, we can mix and match the eyes and mouths in a whole bunch of ways! #CalicoWilder

I am happy to share that Calico finally saw a chiropractor and got his posture issues fixed. Before -> After #CalicoWilder

how many player states is too many, asking for a friend

one of us one of us

@adef.bsky.social we were a missed connection this year at AGDQ but it was SO cool to be in the crowd cheering you on through that crazy finale, fire alarm and all!! from meeting you ages ago at SGDC until now it's been amazing to see all the incredible stuff you're doing - great work!!

AGDQ 2026 was a blast!! Met so many awesome people, performed with @runningsomeerins.bsky.social, made friends with a bunch of fellow indie devs, and watched some incredible runs. Hope to see y'all again sometime!!!

Heading out to AGDQ 2026!!!

Don’t forget, there is the #AGDQ2026 Talent Show on Thursday at 8PM, and here is the setlist! Please be there to watch your fellow community members show off their amazing talents!

Finally finished my 3D Marble-Rolling submission to #MetroidvaniaMonthJam 30!! Within a Marbelous Maze was made in a month and features 5 marbles with different properties you unlock and swap between at extremely original and never-before-seen Tag Barrels! waveparadigm.itch.io/within-a-mar...

@nifflas.bsky.social Heya! I just wrapped up my submission to #MetroidvaniaMonthJam with a game idea I've had in my head for a long time - it's a Marble Game crossed with DK64 crossed with Within a Deep Forest - if you ever get the chance I'd love your thoughts! waveparadigm.itch.io/within-a-mar...

some #MetroidvaniaMonthJam vibes I've got a lot of level design left but it's been an excellent exercise for me and I think it's coming along well!! #gamedev #indiedev

this is the way

oh yeah, we're cooking for #MetroidvaniaMonthJam

I'm cooking on a little idea I've had rattling around the back of my head for #MetroidvaniaMonthJam Excited to show more! #gamedev #indiedev

Before being an indie game dev: oh wow they've been working on this for two years? That's so much of their life dedicated to one project! After being an indie game dev: oh wow only two years? And they finished it? Like, the whole thing, not a demo? Are you sure?

this gonna be fire, chat

two of them #indiegame #gamedev

It's Bunlith: The Witch Upstairs 📅 EPISODE 1 NOW AVAILABLE TO WATCH ON KICKSTARTER! Watch Now!! 📺 www.kickstarter.com/projects/bun...

Coyote Time (letting the player jump a bit after they leave the ground) is huge for gamefeel. Combine with Jump Buffer (executing a jump once they land if they pressed it a bit early) to maximize. Bonus: spawn the jump particle at the last grounded position to hide the coyote time :) #gamedev

someone had asked what it looked like if you removed the lovely rigged model and animations and I can confirm it's very funny

Thank you all for the incredible support on this post! This is a project I've been wanting to make for a decade now, so seeing all the loving responses has truly been incredible. ^^ With that said, the sneak peek's now on YouTube too, if you wanna see it in 60fps! www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4Yw...

Couldn't be more proud of how well this is turning out. It's been really fun to work on this with @benjamage.bsky.social and the rest of the CaliCrew!!

easily near the top of my current most anticipated games.

IRL footage of us schmoovin

critics are calling it the dumbest thing he's ever spent ten minutes making

It's rare that I enjoy a 2D platformer as much as I did this one. Been following this project for a long time - backed on KS after their super promising demo and am stoked to see the final release coming so soon!

participated in a speedrun contest for @unsentgames.bsky.social and when a fellow runner discovered a route-shattering OOB strategy 50 minutes before the deadline the race was on and at literally 11:59pm I hit this run heart was beating out of my chest - former WR was 1m27s insanity starts at :47

I got to chat these guys' ears off for a few hours - if you wanna hear about Slime 64, my inspirations as a game designer, and all sorts of other shenanigans, come through! youtu.be/RJHM7DL_ygs?...

every day at work I curse myself from the last night for not going to bed at a reasonable time every night I finally achieve hyperfocus on one of my non-work projects and can't bear to break it before pushing it as far as I can and so the cycle repeats

we couldn't agree more

Is that who I think it is? 👀

platformerheads the world over, prepare yourself for a game that presents True, Uncompromising Gameplay: Slime 64 this Thursday, we will be interviewing the Man behind the Game @waveparadigm.com if you have forgotten what it means to enjoy playing a game, this will remind you

okay someone smarter than me help me understand I've made old games in some of these impacted versions that run locally and offline. what's the threat vector here - someone with an already compromised machine could somehow have one of these versions used to gain higher authority?

easily one of the best games I played at PAX. think VVVVVV x Celeste with a surrealist thriller vibe. super excited for this

The ADHD urge to take my meds, drink two cups of coffee, and take a nap

Everyone should wish the happiest of birthdays to my one and only, @runningsomeerins.bsky.social. here's to the next 30 💙💙💙

PAX was an incredible experience. Got to meet so many amazing people, the reception to @mrsleepyman.bsky.social was exactly what we were hoping to see, got to show off some Slime 64, and finally met @myles.zone IRL after 15 years!!! Now it's time to sleep for 1000 years. 😅

PAX day 0 complete!! booth setup is looking great and super excited for the coming days now excuse me as I go collapse for 12 straight hours

chuckling about this dunking QT from Twitter at its heart I do understand the criticism that we don't follow the technical limitations of the N64, but I hope the combo of our art direction, character design, music/sound design, and overall Vibes show our love for the N64😅 Sloppy Adventures.....

🚨🚨SLIME 64 REVEAL TRAILER🚨🚨 Join us for a 3D collect-a-thon platformer starring elemental slimes who combine their powers and collect Bells & Whistles to defeat an evil robotic enterprise. Super excited to finally show a first look at the full game. More to come! Wishlist on Steam! slime64.com
