whenever i say "i'm not a furry," i want it to be known that i do so with faint sadness, as if looking out over a quiet sunset. that's just the way it is.

This week’s indie spotlight on Creative Bloq is Neverway a farming life-sim RPG/narrative psychological horror co-created by Celeste’s pixel artist and made with its own bespoke Murder engine www.creativebloq.com/3d/video-gam...

Just giving this another shout-out because it is a VERY clever RPG from a very talented team and the demo is excellent. Try it out, and then consider throwing some cash down on the Kickstarter. I really want to see this grow into the biggest version of itself that it can be.

me and the homies.

It's weird - but now in Oslo, there's so many EVs that you notice the noise and the smell from individual ICE cars, and you realise how much we've been normalising it for ever. You can smell them half a street away. And inside parking lots are just *quiet*.

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

Perfectionism Doesnt Lead Anywhere.

if there's anything you can learn from undertale, it's that if your friends are super into something, you should put some of that stuff in the things you make. not just to make them smile, but because it will probably end up making a whole lot of other people smile, too.

The desperate search for a radicalizing conspiracy-- a group chat, a secret network, some sort of coded messages he received, attempts to implicate the partner-- is because without it what they are left with is that the evil they do to our community is so immense that it was enough to radicalize him

designing the final area boss for the CHORUS MACHINE demo and realizing a lot of my boss fight design philosophy comes from runescape 3 pvm. which isn’t a bad thing, but is *really* funny

happy birthday undertale… thank u for changing me

passage

can developers STOP announcing game release dates two weeks before release. that’s not even enough time to call off of work. can we please be reasonable

don’t be fooled by my occasional use of the #solodev hashtag. i have literally never done anything by myself, ever. (the same goes for you!)

kirbs.

my characters don't have model sheets so they can't be "on" or "off model." this is a hack that you can use too

of course it goes without saying that recessr should be separate from my lunch hour. and paid. Obviously

office jobs should have recess. like you’re already making me sit at a desk all day

i have more to say about this actually. i am absolutely the main person *constructing* my game but it’s only able to exist because of other people. i mean this in an artistic & not a monetary sense; i’ve been inspired by so many different aspects of so much different media

petition to replace the term “solodev” with “smalldev”: how big is a ‘smalldev’ team? you decide.

for anyone else having issues with spam comments on itchio, here's custom css i'm testing to hide any comments that have links in them: .post_body p a {display:none;} .post_body p:has(a)::before {content: '[link removed from comment] '}

This is a supremely good take about why giving proper credit for indie games production and demystifying the solodev rhetoric around games is so desperately needed. Cc @joeyschutz.bsky.social from our previous convo :)

This + no worry on how to pay for it all. I don’t know a single one of us who wouldn’t love to make games under these conditions. I would just love for us to be so for fucking real about the capitalism of it all and how this is hot garbage conservative propaganda at its finest. 😤

it's tragic seeing other queer people hyperscrutinize trans people for moral purity. we reserve our sharpest knives for people like us, whose mode of existence and cultural alignment most align with our own, making differences all the more jarring. having limited agency, we bite the nearest hand.

your whole life on CRT #deltarune #deltarunespoilers

haven’t posted a garden update in a bit but it’s going real swell! should have my first radishes next week ish :0

i played undertale for the first time shortly after it came out/a few months after i’d turned 16 and it made me so deeply unserious as a teen… thank you toby + temmie for reminding me to engage in teen debauchery before it had serious consequences

It's worth remembering: Video games are hard to make. And they're made by people. And most of the time, when people are making video games, they're not telling you about it. They're making the video games.

Interested in a game whose title is two words, both beginning with S? heck with that other one, it'll be there later, try Sunken Stones instead! They really DO need your support! (the other one will be fine, trust me)

If you want to understand what Take Us North actually is and the work its developers have put into this game, I talked to @kreyes121.bsky.social back in March www.wired.com/story/take-u...

congrats to the games industry, which i am being told is now "saved"

you're the main reason to keep on going

said this as a joke but honestly,,

Honestly, there's not a real reason to play this patch unless you want to help us out. By the way, it was mentioned above, but we would like to give a status update on Chapter 5 soon.

sometimes devs make mistakes, sometimes devs are bad at their jobs, they never do not care

Just released a pack of images for use with Exp Filtertable by @expdsp.com . It's free to download, and probably also usable with Serum's image to wavetable converter. Get it here donutshoesmusic.itch.io/donutshoes-f...
