I’m spending my time with Pokopia in exactly the same way I did Death Stranding. That is, I’ve not moved on from the first area after many, many hours and there’s nothing you can do to make me.

Not shared this in a while and many may not know that this the art I make for my self and will be back at making things and do dads again hopefully soon.

Episode 3 of Trinkets & Treasures is here! In this episode, Concept Artist Lucia shares how her late grandmother inspired her creativity as a young child, and the treasured item that now reminds her of home. Watch now on YouTube: youtu.be/PDvUIRz4Ung

Kansas has, overnight, invalidated the drivers’ licenses of trans people, a pointless cruelty that upends their lives If Brits think “it won’t happen here” think again! Groups in the U.K. who want the same thing are routinely invited to consult with Labour and normalised in our press!

Generally speaking if you hated group projects in school perhaps game dev is not for you.

On this #RandomGameSaturday I have a bunch of chores and errands to do, but I’d rather be playing BeBall

Never seen this photo before! We live there! Didn’t back then tho

The email from UPS about my package being delivered was, hilariously, somehow incorrect, so this was an entire day wasted lmao

Play Sega Saturn!

Giving this a bump, hope is to be making a posting work in the new year again.

Site News: Why We Won't Be Covering ModRetro Products Moving Forward.

I am so deeply sorry to be in the position to have to pull this lever again, but I just watched my car get towed away and I don't really know what else to do anymore. More details in the update & description, but if you're able to help out or share, we would be grateful beyond words.

Your support for A Storied Life: Tabitha over the past few months has blown us away, so as 2025 comes to a close, we thought we'd take a look back, reflect, and say a massive thank you! 💖 Read the blog 👇 store.steampowered.com/news/...

Well that felt pretty great

Me and Cherish have been writing games for 15 years, but Tabitha has easily been our most complex challenge! Rather than sticking to the noun/verb/adjective structure of Mad Libs, we wanted players to have way more freedom to tell their own stories - without it degrading into total nonsense.

Lucia is a truly exceptional artist that we were so lucky to introduce to this project in late pre-production. Here she talks about the self-imposed limitations we had in place to deliver our strong visual style - only two brushes. It really paid off! youtube.com/shorts/SKL9b...

WHAT

Happy birthday Dreamcast and the VMU 🌀

🎨 #Engelbaum Chapter 1: Page 19 & 20 Shares deeply appreciated on my #comic #art pages. Series recommended for ages 18+ due to occasional adult themes. Sometimes when we think we're alone there are people who care about our work even if we don't know they're there. Big angry haters too *lol*

So proud of the team for making something that really resonates with people! 🥹

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Organic studios are the future.

Indie game developers have a new sales pitch: being ‘AI free’
