I am adding laurels to the Sloppy Forgeries Steam page (bit.ly/sloppy-bs) and sloppyforgeries.com. I thought, "I should put them here too." Then I thought, "That feels weird." Then I thought, "That's why I'm bad at marketing." #gamedev #indiegame #art #digitalart #games #videogames #marketing

First implementation of grading. Will make it much more dramatic/add ticks. Is it weird that it’s counting down? I really like counting down for the % since it ties to the reveal of incorrect pixels. ✨ Wishlist ✨ bit.ly/sloppy-bs #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

Just got this little guy. Looking forward to painting my Mona logo on it—making a sloppy forgery of a sloppy forgery. #art
