When you come to Rust Valley don't forget to visit the fissure in town that's emitting green gas! It's a super popular attraction! And it's free!

I feel like these were kinda "bargain bin" games, maybe? I know Safecracker was.

Look at this photograph

I want to start Pathologic 3 but I feel like I can't because I have stuff to do over the next 3 - 4 weeks 😕

OK, I'm a bit late to this but if you like liminal spaces + analog horror + sci fi environments, then you ABSOLUTELY NEED to play ROUTINE. I have nothing but positive things to say about this game - 10/10. A beautiful audiovisual horror experience, wrapped neatly in a ~6 hour experience.

if u give me 5 dollars your name will appear on a little guy in a secret room in my game ko-fi.com/brycebucher/...

Here's the obligatory Silent Hill 2 reference in my game:

Me, seeing Pathologic 3 just released:

While I *am* trying to replicate the tech and game design of 90s point and click adventure games, I've also chosen to let myself include things that may not be period appropriate but look cool. Like this lens flare!

The new EP is out! Navigation And Mapping Unit V2! Full of hard hitting industrial dance tunes taking inspiration from artists like Front 242, Klack, Art of Noise, and Cobalt 60! It's Friday - get you some dance tunes for the weekend! [link in replies]

I'm using the magical JPGPU by @ompu.co to simulate the compression effects of a QuickTime video clip being played within a pre-rendered game 😊

Thank you to all 10K+ of you who wishlisted #DERELIKT on Steam so far! Keep'em coming! 👏👏👏 #PS1 #indiedev store.steampowered.com/app/3810510/...

we got bb in this bitch

you ever find yourself places without remembering exactly how you got there?

I made 7 small games in 2025, here's a few of them 🫶 rinoaskyes.itch.io

GOG is having a classics sale right now and you can re-live my childhood for under 10 bucks! Once you complete all four, i will send you my social security number. You will then become me. (Avoid bees, im allergic to bees)

Needed some promotional movie cardboard stands for the theater in my game so I present to you: - Family Vacation 6: Dimension X (with face cutouts for photos!) AND - Try Hard to Not Die (starring Gunner Hogg and Kelly Melons)

Crazy that I made 8 whole ass NPC models for my game last month. (1/2)

Today's "extremely time consuming but not necessarily visually cool™️" update was rigging the medallion puzzle to allow free placement of each AND pick-up/rearrangement of already placed medallions. Amazing BGM by the talented @connrar.bsky.social !

Found the coolest website that takes random found cassette tapes people submit and digitizes them. I’m listening to an NYC hip hop station from 1994: intertapes.net

I'm starting to finalize certain areas in Rust Valley but the "Tourist Trap Museum" always felt like it was missing something... I finally figured it out today! ✨TAXIDERMIED ANIMAL DIORAMA✨

I want to start this year off on the right foot, so I think it's time I come clean and tell you all that my game has been nothing more than an elaborate ruse to force people to look at my vacation photos.

This was working fine a few months ago and I didn't touch a thing over here. I mean. I guess it's still kinda working.

Since Valley of Guilt takes place in the 90s, here are some cool areas in my game to take a quick smoke break in:

how it started vs how it's going

Driving through Iowa while it's foggy today. Here are two pics I just took, zero editing.

I think one of the toughest things about being on Bluesky is that my game dev Twitter account was built up over 5 years, across 10 short games. These days I'm only working on one (big) game and it feels different to only be posting about that singular project consistently 🤷‍♂️

TIL: There were different GPUs between earlier + later PS1 models that resulted in noticeably different graphics.

There's a 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 in my game where you have to search through a pile of trash bags, looking for a key item. It is driven purely by RNG. No. I won't be changing it.

Love the latest @70sscifiart.bsky.social mailout featuring all manner of metaphysical DOORS. I humbly submit one of my own, would that it please the social media gods... #art #artsky #scifi #doors

I managed to get Windows 98 on to my Steam Deck AND install "Escape From Horrorland" too, so there's my day sorted.

less uwu indie publishers, more collectives. Grab a bunch of friends making games similar to yours, make a single social account for promotion, and share the burden of Posting. Bundle them together. Promote each other and do less work at the same time

Some environmental details change in Rust Valley between day and night. This one seemed like a no-brainer.

I can promise that I'm continuously trying to ensure zero AI assets are included in "Valley of Guilt." I've historically relied on paid stock photos though and, unfortunately, I suspect that some of the stock photo sites aren't properly vetting the results of their "Exclude AI" category.

Can't wait until doctors shift to "vibe healthcare" and schools to "vibe teaching"

While I do still play the occasional AAA game, I feel like indie games (by smaller teams) are the only things that can get emotions out of me these days. Give me that direct feed in to other's brains, both good and bad, unfiltered, without consideration for the concept of "return on investment."

Every small town in America has buildings that look like this. I don't make the rules so Rust Valley is no exception.

Show me some of your favorite things you’ve drawn this year.

just got my 2025 dev replay very cool thx Unity!

When possible, it's best not to spend too much time outside at night in Rust Valley.

I'm playing through Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle of Flesh for the first time right now (I know, I know - super late) and I absolutely love the set design across all of the cubicles (four globes is excessive tho tbh)

you guys remember those big ominous cubes in the middle of town when we were growing up? what was with that
