Hello world - we are here!!!

Y'all please make some noise for our game if you can, it's been 3 years of hard work by a wonderful team!!

Some of best friends and fellow team members from POTBRR worked super hard on this game, and I got to be an early tester! It's gorgeous and of course since @leaflet.bsky.social was involved, the music SLAPS.

This is 3 years of work in the making! Please share this around, I worked so hard to put this game into the light and it would mean the world to me :]

This is going to be super lovely, I won't be able to attend myself (due to the Curse of Being European) but I'm looking forward to listen to everyone's contributions first thing in the morning :]

A game I contributed some music to just came out - I'm very proud, not just of my work, but especially of Nick, Moth and the other guest composers' efforts, they really made something charming and special and I think a lot of you could like it :]

@azurexis.bsky.social's game Paper Animal Adventure just launched on Steam! I was honored to make 3 songs for this wonderful project (2 remixes from the charming original OST by Mothense, plus a short action theme) - and I can say the game is REALLY fun! store.steampowered.com/app/1982120/...

hello! I am maurimo (he/him), a technical artist and UI/UX guy for games ✨ love shaders, motion, and doing weird things in Ren'Py my site👉 maurimo.dev the game I'm making 👉 @whodunnitvn.bsky.social where I publish assets and games 👉 maurimo.itch.io and some games I've done things for :)

Mauri's a shader wizard (maybe even necromancer) and based on how much juice he brought to the 2 games I worked on with him I'd strongly recommend hiring him for your UI/UX needs

If you care about games, take a moment to read through this and take action. NSFW games might not be for you - they're not for me - but we cannot allow a small group of censorious extremists to decide that people can not make games about sex, about sexuality, and about the role of sex in our world.

SO, today the bumper fell off the household car while I was driving it. Yay! If y'all can share this and spread the word, it is deeply, deeply appreciated. Goal is just $750; I know we can do this! www.gofundme.com/f/support-ms...

RPG DEVELOPMENT!!!!

Art is inefficient. Care is inefficient. Joy is inefficient. Humanity is inefficient. Don't let them take that away.

I'm really excited to try this game because the period where I worked on it was far enough from actual release that everything feels new and fresh and cooler than what I remember, I hope everyone likes it

here is "the hanged man," by a team including @leaflet.bsky.social -- it is less linear, and you combine abstract ideas and shapes to satisfy very abstract but primal requests. it's . . . it means a lot to me. store.steampowered.com/app/1869870/...

i am always fucking saying this

the rumors are true 😔

A horrifying thread, demonstrating again why abortion restrictions and treating people with uteruses like vessels causes extreme harm and suffering. Bodily autonomy is a basic right.

When I needed a hysterectomy due to severe endometriosis & adenomyosis, I was repeatedly denied Told I “might want kids.” Told I “might meet a man who wants kids” I was left disabled & bed ridden, yet the system continued to try & save my diseased uterus against my will 🧵

This scene right here is supposed to be a really intense and heart-gripping moment in our game's story. And... for the most part, it is! Except when the main character has, um. Other plans. Like going on a long, uncontrollable moonwalk in the middle of the scene's climax.

I just informed my entire family of my wedding date, except I gave the wrong date to everyone, please send thoughts and prayers

Hi! Thanks for hosting :) DOWNHILL is a 4th wall-breaking action RPG where the main character knows you're controlling her and can talk to you! It's all quite messed up and fun to explore 👀 store.steampowered.com/app/3433000/...

Formless Star is out now! Travel to a mysterious ever-changing planet and gather data on the animals that live there. There's 60 different creatures to find, all with unique behaviours and descriptions! Get the game for free (or pay what you want) here! splendidland.itch.io/formless-star

I made a few adjustments and reuploaded my video. You cannot silence an Italian girl from New York. YouTube is complicit in my harassment and the harassment of others. Please like, share, comment, subscribe, and signal boost. Thank you all <3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5mn...

Loose Leaf may be shelved, but the beautiful soundtrack made by @leaflet.bsky.social lives on. These beautiful songs embody coziness and whimsy, perfect to pair with your next cup of tea 🍵😌 You can experience the Loose Leaf soundtrack in it's incomplete state on Leaf's Youtube and Bandcamp.

This project was kindof in preproduction limbo for the better part of a year but now we're picking up the pace again, very excited about where this is going :]

I just released a game soundtrack today! This has nothing to do with Blanksword, I just wanted to share my work :] The amount of power I have over this account is getting to my head... ...I'm going to have to sit in a bucket of ice now or I won't calm down... 🧊...hope you enjoy the album...🧊

Today, I have the sweet-and-sour pleasure to release the Loose Leaf OST! Sweet, because it was a tremendously fun project and I learned a ton from working on it. Sour, because the game unfortunately got shelved. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRdx...

I'm very proud of this little tune I made for Blanksword, so it's nice to be able to showcase a sneak peek of it now...

I've been thinking about this post intermittently for the last few days, and I've found that I struggled to put words on what bothered me (and other disabled folks I know that were equally mortified to see Freya r-wording away like that), so I'll try to do that in this (hopefully short) thread:

Dungeon Gals has a steam page! And a publisher! This has been a long time coming and I'm super excited to share!! PLEASE SHARE AND WISHLIST!! store.steampowered.com/app/2864880/...

When I started writing The Disabled Ginger, I lost a lot of my “real life” friends. I shared my website with them thinking it would help them better understand what I was going through. Instead they belittled it, ignored it, or altogether ghosted me. 🧵 on ableism

I think we should make the next pope be an octodad. oh he's trying to consecrate stuff, but his hands are tentacles!!!! how delightful

woah mama you can get Splatter DRM-free at a discount price and you get to support a good cause? Did you know that @leaflet.bsky.social made this game's soundtrack? How do I know? Because I'm them......

UK folks, this is your moment

I watched Your Name this sunday and I'll never be the same

This is good advice and also a difficult habit to maintain, which is why I also recommend scheduling your emails, it’ll telegraph your working hours to your clients and help you feel less like you’re “on call”

I feel like I’ve played a lot of video games in the last few years that have a great story but bad writing. What does that mean? It’s time for a gamedev thread! 1/11

"he'll yeah", you say. "What if he won't", I reply. You fall to your knees in despair, realizing your incorrect spelling of "hell" allowed me to land a devastating pun. "Wishlist Blanksword", I whisper as I summon the link directly inside your brain. store.steampowered.com/app/3484670/...

My Soundcloud has been collecting dust for a year as I was focusing on the Blanksword and Phantom of the Black Rose Revue OSTs (amongst other things), so here's a small peaceful song I made for a jam recently! soundcloud.com/user-1616019...

So nice to be able to start showing our game a bit more openly :]
