My husband lost his job this week (and with it, my freelance gig for his company most likely). This is really scary, BUT I'm trying to tackle it head on instead of panicking. I've opened an Etsy shop for stream graphics (and stickers, but I'm not that far yet) ✨ www.etsy.com/shop/dollphox

I did stay up until 2am to watch a cursed speed run of one of my all time favorite games (pokemon emerald!) and soak in the last bits of good vibes from agdq. It would be a dream come true to have a game I made at gdq… but I gotta make one first! back to work next week 💪🏻

Every role you have as a solo game developer 💕 #gamedev #indiedev #solodeb

Gosh!!!! I love video games!!!!!!!

yesterday i finished up making some sprite sheets, including our first customer! she's based on my poodle, Lace 💕🍰🐩 taking a break today to take care of myself, my family, and write to my representatives. my timeline for this project did not account for world events happening in my city 👿

More art progress today!! I think it's starting to look pretty cute 🍰🥺 #cozygame #indiedev #gamedev

Hey #TeaseYaGame ! I'm so excited to reveal my new game project! Trinket Bag Maker is a cozy game where you create bags inspired by the 2000's fashion games ✨ 👜 Pick your bag model 🎨 Customize the color/pattern 🌸 Add lots of charms Thank you @liamtwose.bsky.social & @indiegamelover.com 💜

first workday of the year! my goal is to get a little demo of my bakery game out by February 🍰 Today I reworked the layout of the bakery (more food truck-esque) and it’s no longer floating in a void! Working on getting the v1 assets done this week 💕 #gamedev #indiegamedev #cozygame

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

made tweaks to our little baker and started mocking up ideas for the new bakery layout! 🍰 also made some decisions about the gameplay that gave me a bit of a headache 😵‍💫 #gamedev #cozygame #indiegamedev

game update! 🍰 i've decided on the more handrawn/illustration style - mostly because it's closer to my own art style (which seems obvious now lol) so today i did some character sketches, polished one of them up, and made this little breathing/idle animation! #gamedev #indiegamedev #cozygame

Today's focus is art direction and planning ahead! I want to do some irl baking for new year's so I'm keeping things light(er). I'm torn between pixel art and a more hand-drawn vibe... so I'm going to try both! I'm going to try out making little cakes in both styles and see what makes more sense.

here's how far we got today! the ui is Not Cute but i'm still trying to focus on figuring out godot. now that i've got the bones, i am bursting with ideas to make it actually fun! i'm pretty proud of it so far for my first non-tutorial game! 🍰 #gamedev #indiegamedev #cozygame #madewithgodot

oh oh no

🥧 progress today: CUSTOMERS!!!! they walk in, find a pie, take a pie, and leave! (or walk in and wander around for a bit if there are no pies available) #indiegamedev #gamedev #madewithgodot

I wanted to try getting as far as I had previously in Gamemaker with making a simple bakery game in Godot - and I actually got a little further! Oven bakes pie, player can pick up pie, and player can set pie on a display for customers to pick up! (Art is placeholder from asset packs)

merry christmas!!! i made cinnamon swirl bread and turned it into french toast 🖤

I wasn't lying when I said I was back in my game dev era - I am going to be doing a visual novel game jam in January! But until then, I'm making this tiny tiny game to learn the ropes of Ren'Py. I've been playing with the UI today ☺️ (I have NOT made the art for this)

i am pleased to announce that i am once again back in my game dev era 😈

Today I added the ability to pick up a frosted cake, added a functioning compost bin, cleaned up some code… and found a new issue where the right-most oven is triggered when using the frosting station 🤪 Once that’s fixed - time to add customers!!! 🎉🍰 #gamedev #cozygame #indiedev

Cake can now be: - picked up from the oven - dropped off to be frosted 🍰🥰 #gamedev #indiedev #cozygame

CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE #gamedev #cozygames #indiedev

Today I’m gonna work on getting some cakes baking 😋🍰

We have officially graduated from illustrator file to something interactive!!! Featuring Lacey sleep twitches 🥺

My hobby is blackout poetry

finally working on a game prototype!!! first - placeholder art!! 💕

the volume of great stuff we never see because somebody was afraid it was cringe is among the more damning aesthetic phenomena of this sad epoch

It’s not anymore ✨

I am very excited about the next few months!!! My plushie shop is going to open back up AND I’m going to start working on a very cute game 🥰 Everything is awful so I might as well just live my dream life, right? 💕🎀✨

it’s not you ~ it’s never you. it’s capitalism. it’s fascism. you, my friend, are perfect.

New research backs up what gamers have thought for years: video games can be an antidote to stress and anxiety. Read the Reuters report on the findings while playing a game that lets you guide a walking, talking radish through the village of Rootersville reut.rs/4gcizuV 1/8

Bodily autonomy means bodily autonomy. Full stop. Your body belongs to you and nobody else gets to decide what you do to it. Have an abortion. Take HRT. Have sex for money. Have sex for free. Have no sex at all. Gain weight. Lose weight. Get a tattoo. What's right for you is your right.

PSA: 1. If you are not silly, it is vital you become silly 2. If you are silly, you must stay silly 2. If you used to be silly but have stopped, you must make all efforts to return to silliness
