Speedpaint for raffle winner @frostynoten.bsky.social ~

🦊every day people are buying Blobun now this is not a shitpost, the new price is working out well for us. $10 seems to be a good spot for "this game isn't on sale but it looks really cool so I'm gonna buy it anyways"

🦊art test for what a #pico8 nonogram game could look like... 6x6 tiles allow for a 15x15 puzzle grid, but it feels pretty cramped compared to other art tests we did. I don't know if people would have much fun with smaller grids tho What do you think? is this good? or too small? #gamedev #indiedev

🦊Store pages, now officially wider

🪐So what's the deal with other versions of Debian that aren't the stable one? Like will our PC explode under Debian Testing? We saw something about how your graphics drivers might not match your kernel and it sounds a little spooky

FINALLY dude

Wild that it took this long for one of the standouts of this OST to get anything lmao youtu.be/AlYnP4PBeJg

🪐With the amount of stability issues Windows 11 has nowadays (up to and including simply causing your PC to become unusable just because the update was bad) I feel like it's a liability for anyone to rely on that operating system

its right behind you dumbass

🪐I suppose it makes sense for artists to draw Hornet from Hollow Knight with a big butt, since she does many acrobatics like Sybil from Pseudoregalia

🪐You ever think of something really funny but it's so hyper specific that there's no way you could make it funny for everyone else because of how specific the joke is and how much you'd have to explain, so you just gotta keep it to yourself

🪐You guys ever hear this little jingle on the NES? www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypNP...

🦨trying out a thing where we look up a random word and then draw a picture based on it. today's word was "short" (featuring SatyricalSol) #art #furryart #furry

🦨I've got a quick one question poll for you guys: when you're playing nonogram/picross games, how important is it to you that the game remembers how long you took to beat the puzzle? let us know: forms.gle/kT2nwhYzWBPr...

🦨right now this game is *right* at the goal. chat let's make sure this dev has a safety net *above* the goal so it's for sure locked in

Heyyy someone just cancelled a $900 pledge so now the Kickstarter's just barely above the goal. But also that means the create a character reward is up for grabs again!!! There's one more slot to put a character into Stomp!!!!!

🦨someone emailed us saying they want to acquire Blobun and like, buddy you can acquire a copy of it on itch or Steam I dont know what you're emailing me for

We've always known Marty for his amazing work and it was a no brainer to get in touch with him for UZDoom's logo Hit him up for all your artwork and branding needs!

🦝reviews for la mulana are interesting because a lot of people complain about the game but all the complaints come down to "you were not the correct kind of sicko for this game, sorry." this game will repel most players but will give the best experience to those who stick with it

its that time

Good afternoon! We've just added a new feature to Steam Deck, allowing it to complete all active downloads in a new display-off low-power mode, before going to sleep. Learn more here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/167...

🦝had a good laugh because Debian has a reputation for having out of date packages, and I just found out that the only version of Godot they have on their repos is Godot 3 fortunately they have 4 on Flatpak or you can just download it directly (that's what we did) but that's just funny

🦝ever since we figured out (almost) all of our initial Linux issues (half of them because we use Debian lmao) it's like, using the computer is normal last time we tried to main Linux we had to be in the terminal a lot and there were lots of caveats. this time we're streaming proton games on discord

If you’re a working artist talking to other creatives I’m begging you to not hide this. I have a parter who makes more and I don’t hide that and try to be as open as I can especially one on one. It’s cruel to not be honest with your fellow artist and give them any kind of false hope or fear

🐭new avatar alert >:3 #art #furryart #furry

🦊I had a whole thread about issues we're having with our PC and graphics tablet but I deleted it because like, after a bunch of debugging I'm not exactly sure *what* the problem is but I think we can all agree: computers are kinda cringe

🦊if you ever see someone make a banger post but then follow it up with a big thread clearing up any potential misconceptions about it, this person likely has been yelled at on twitter many times before by guys who like waffles and hate pancakes

🦊our game is no longer on sale, so that means you gotta pay more for it ($10 is still a good deal for what you get though)

🐭ok who found this old post LOL I hope you know we still get people with the lesbian toggle >:3 it's in the sequel Blobun Mini too!

🐭in windows in SAI2 we could press one of the pen buttons to swap between drawing and the eraser, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to work now? I don't know if there's a key combo that does it. using a HUION Kamvas 13 in Debian with OpenTabletDriver (official/KDE drivers dont work)

🐭the thing AI will never be able to capture is like, when we were young we would go to the bowling alley, which was fun in itself, but they also had a ton of pinball machines too. all of this culminated in Shield Cat where Lance's interactions with pretty much every object is pinball based

🐭excited to see the new fortnite meta where all the players get together on the same part of the map just to all destroy the players using harry potter skins, and then they all scatter again so they can play the game normally

🐭regarding last retwerk, today's the last day of the blobun sale!! after this you'll have to buy it at full price (which is still less than its launch price, so technically you are always saving money forever hehe)

🦌Blobun is on sale for its lowest price ever! Touch every tile in this casual puzzle game with 140 puzzles and over 100 positive Steam reviews! Get it in a bundle with its OST (on steam) for less than $10! store.steampowered.com/app/3284270/... itch.io/s/163610/hal... #indiedev #gamedev #gamemaker

🦌so it turns out discord *does* have screen sharing for audio... but I guess only in certain situations? seems that games running through wine and proton are fine, but Blobun's native linux version is not?? but if you run the windows version through proton or wine it's fine? what

🦌TUNIC is a game that has a lot of secrets, but this one goes by plenty of people. If you look very closely, you can see that there's actually a fox in the game. Many people seem to miss this?

🦌gotta remember to rotate your clocks 365 degrees

🦌a quirk of Unicode is how they can introduce new emojis and make them backwards compatible with older systems. For example, did you know that 🏳️‍⚧️ is actually comprised of two separate emojis, 🏳️ and ⚧️? many fonts can show the trans flag, but some of them just show 🏳️⚧️ emojipedia.org/transgender-...

🦌starting to realize a lot of our interest in gamedev comes from when we're pushing some kind of boundary, which is why we got on well with gamemaker pico8 and monogame, and meanwhile godot is like "yep, it's godot, those sure are polygons on the screen"

🦌the curse of the modern game dev experience is that everyone pressures you to make your game huge and unique like, oh your game has to have one central original mechanic and can't look like any other game and also it has to be 50 hours long or it's not a game

🦌it was probably a fool's errand to be using nVidia with Debian but at least Xorg works. Wayland works too but a lot of apps don't like it, and we've yet to find a screen capture program besides OBS that does the job. Discord screen share has no audio, but otherwise everything else works great

🦨I wouldn't wanna get into it with a weatherman, the Ls they keep on em are huge

Dude, don't even joke about that kinda stuff

🦨so what are some hot tips that you can use to break out of a year and a half long art block?

do you guys like my halloween costume. im dressed as "change instance" from gamemaker 8

🐿️steam local network transfer has worked on every game now except specifically psychonauts 2. restarting the PC, clearing the download cache, verifying the integrity of the files, and doing everything else I can think of didn't fix it. I don't know what's so special about that one lmao
