spend Zero Dollars on my game with Three (5 star!) Reviews rootvegetableboy.itch.io/chorus-machi...

good post

This is my trans agenda

In the spirit of trans visibility, lemme just plug my ongoing project to document as many pre-2010 games as possible that had a trans person on the dev team. You might be surprised by what's on there. There's games going right back to the sixties! dotmaetrix.neocities.org/classictranslist

happy #transdayofvisbility !!! im a trans person making a top down bullet hell soulslite about being a mean troubled lesbian and stopping the rapture. you should go play the free demo

It's also a more unique case given the mechanics, but this video on Return of the Obra Dinn also exemplifies how nuanced and challenging this is, beyond the cost. (And make no mistake, it's a BIG cost; can be in the tens of thousands easily depending on word count.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMi6...

if you want less “marketable” games that do interesting things with games as a medium you have to support devs directly or fight for larger structures that’ll allow tiny devs to live off of their work.

saw discussion about how a lot of indies are funded by larger corporations & we need government funding for the arts, so i wanted to share this article about how gov funding can fail to actually reach creators often it just ends up going straight to the corpos who know how to apply

this is a really interesting thread! i especially appreciate the interrogation of "common sense" ideas about drawing. i thought i'd compile some suggestions of my own, for people interested in drawing more or getting more comfortable with drawing.

okay so AI is absolutely cratering imminently and I need all of you to PROMISE me you won't take the high road, and will laugh and rub it in their faces as much as possible. I need you to laugh and go 'WE TOLD YOU SO, BITCH" at every opportunity, PLEASE be extremely mean and ruthless

just know that if you engage with harry potter in any form i'm judging you

we support the writer's barely disguised fetish in a climate where adults on social media are mortified at the idea of consuming something that made someone horny

Ogg Vorbis would be a great name for a caveman wizard

unfortunately society no longer exists for The People in it and instead it is like we are all trapped in a big game of Civ some fucking guys are playing and no one knows the rules to anything anymore

chorus machine demo release in THREE DAYS

the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do

I couldn't be more excited to announce something I've been working on for a long time - Please welcome Belltower House Artist Residency, a multidisciplinary gift of time in my erstwhile home in southern New Mexico, now accepting applications for 2026. belltowerhouse.org

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

cis people are NOT confused enough by people using multiple sets of pronouns anymore this is why i have starting confusing them by using multiple equally acceptable names. trans people invest in this now

Adam Baldwin was literally *the* guy who named GamerGate and made it go viral. It was just some loser 4chan/incel YouTuber shit before then. They spammed him to get his attention because they knew he’s also a psycho loser and they wanted to make it go viral, and he did it. And it worked.

Reminder that your artistic identity is comprised of all the things you are BAD at doing as well as the things you are good at doing, and leaning into this fact is where authenticity and uniqueness springs.

Everyone who tried to draw around me and started drawing LOVED it at the beginning because of their QUICK IMPROVEMENT. Then quit when they hit The Wall™️. But it's when you hit The Wall™️ that you NEED to push through with practice!! And you gotta do it for yourself, because it's ALWAYS worth it! 😤

Reminder to other indie dev teams especially new teams. Most of us are happy to share advice and give feedback on publisher/funding/platform deals and terms. There are some shady predatory biz weasels that will take advantage of you as soon as your game starts to pop off. Please reach out.

A friend asked me what's the best place to buy my game to support me. I told them it didn't matter, and they said they wanted to make sure their support was the most it could be. So here's a 100% guide to supporting me and my game. (a thread!)
