ChainStaff is finally ready! 🎸⚡💥 I've been making games since '94 and I love doing new 2D action gameplay. "Let's make a new grappling hook game!" I said back in 2019😅 ChainStaff is out now Xbox, Steam, Switch, and Playstation. Please grab a copy and leave a review--thanks!

Found out pausing in GameMaker Studio is waaaaaaay faster using an image buffer to capture what's on screen at that moment rather than a saving a screenshot. www.reddit.com/r/gamemaker/...

Yet another chance for an Ocarina of Time remaster to have a playable Sheik segment for 2-3 hours. Yes, I am asking too much and will throw my wallet regardless.

One day left to get a Dreamcast game made in 2025 (!) during the Steam Sale by Captkuso who is smarter than me!

been completely neglecting to do the bare minimum of marketing on my game due to mental health shit, but you can still grab Flowerdrops for 33% off till the steam spring sale ends tomorrow!

Finished off the boss sketch.

Next time I see Tom I'm going to call him an idiot for putting his game on this steep of a discount, so go get it while it's cheap lol

Finished Blaster Master on NSO. A boy and his frog.

Carpoon is 40% off during the Steam Spring Sale. Continuing work on a new update for it! store.steampowered.com/app/1068840/...

Went skiing for the first time since 2019. Hard to imagine missing something that I loved to do for so long but can't do everything.

Should be a 4.5 Tier: My game makes enough to cover my Steam purchases.

🎉 picoCAD 2 is out! 🥳 Model, texture, and animate - in a single lo-fi, easy to use package.  GIF, GLTF, OBJ, and sprite sheet export.  Available now on Steam and Itch! Check it out! picocad.net Thanks for boosting! ❤️ 🙏

Made one more boss phase this week. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #gamemaker #carpoongame

Peter Moore continues to be larger than life. Was already cool enough when he bought a "Press Start to Peter Moore" shirt that I designed.

If anyone is willing to share, I would be very appreciative!! 🔧🍃 We've just set the launch trailer live for Piece by Piece, our cozy repair shop game that is coming THIS WEEK, on March 11!! You can see it below, and find the game here: store.steampowered.com/app/3179050/...

Trying to get through Blaster Master for the first time (much easier with save states) and doing something I have done for a while: drawing maps. Without maps, I find the levels just big enough with similar tiles to feel lost at points.

We are celebrating Women’s History Month with a 30% discount! ✨ Also take a look at all the other games made by studios led by women and gender-marginalized developers! store.steampowered.com/sale/womensd... 🗓 March 6–15 Organized by @wingsfund.me

Always amazing quality in HPRshredder's Retro Odyssey series. Honoured to draw a spiritual segment for this one. Don't miss it!

Did you hear the BIG news? @kindafunnyvids.bsky.social did! I partnered with @luckshotgames.com to make a documentary all about the development story of Big Hops! Give it a watch if you like indie development stories! youtu.be/Vtee39McAtY?... #gamedev #indiegames

I didn't play the game that inspired mine during development, but after I did, I took a look and tried to see what was different, and what I could have learned from it. youtu.be/OQakAZAreQk

Fittingly beat a game with heart on Valentine's Day.

Was going to go skiing for the first time in six years but had to change plans. Can go to the mountain that is making another game instead.

Bad news Mikado F-Zero AX fans

Did not have pottery party game on my bingo card today

In case you missed it, BIG HOPS is coming out January 12th on Steam, Switch, and PS5! - 🐸 use your tongue to grab things, swing around, and solve puzzles - 🏁 wall run, belly slide, and freeclimb to go anywhere - 🍎 plant veggies to build your own way through levels #indiegames #nintendoswitch #ps5

Regular classical ominous music on Saturday morning talk TV.

One surprising thing here is the focus on external testing at scale via feedback surveys, while having almost no in-person testing on Tactical Breach Wizards (and it turned out excellent).

Help me pay for more rent and get a good game (imo) in the process by purchasing STREET UNI X! It's still on sale too! store.steampowered.com/app/2204900/...

These were some nice lights.

Festive update for Carpoon, bigger one soooooon

Just ran through and gave some quick recommendations to the small games in my steam library. Trying to do my part to uplift the small devs. Ya'll should go through your library, find a small game, and leave a review as well. The smaller the game, the bigger the impact the review will have :)

So if you're going to be doomscrolling today, at least make it a journey through decades of community creativity that helped shaped gaming as we know it. Maybe something you made is in here? doomscroll.cx

In the desert, you say?

Thoughtful words in Prime 4. I also enjoyed some of the highs, but afterwards questioned why parts like the motorbike were in it. I wonder if some of the decisions were to differentiate this iteration and try something new, or guessing what a new generation wants to reach a wider audience.

EmCon is the best idea of all-time.

Had a good time chatting with a bunch of the exhibitors at the Vancouver Game Expo. Here's my video... @vangameconnect.ca #videogames #Vancouver #indiegames youtu.be/bMi7SUrQfFs?...
