Hey folks, I often do posts calling for indie developers to link me their games so I can signal boost them. Today I want to do something similar for all trans creatives. If you are a trans game dev, artist, writer, streamer or YouTuber, reply here with a link to your work. Only one rule: no GenAI.💜

In #FamiliarFindings we have a display mode where the game goes from being on your task bar to being in it's own window. The window background can repeat so you can resize to how you'd like it to be. I'm still working on the art, that's a WIP. #cozygames #creaturecollector #indiedev

For #FamiliarFindings we're going to be adding little animations to Avia your little corner witch as you interact with the game. I've got a happy wave hello for when you open the game up in the works. #pixelart #indiedev

Yay!! Game trailer!! Huge thank you to Foxdrift for working on it~ I'm really happy with how the game's coming along and hope you wishlist Familiar Findings.

I always miss #ScreenshotSaturday so I'm sneaking something in for #FamiliarFindings. Did you know you can play this game while also playing Stardew? I'm excited about what we're bringing into the game! #cozygame #creaturecollector #idlegame

Been a while since I shared some of the Familiars in my game. This little guy is yet to be named but his animations have come in from @minlii-assets.bsky.social and I have to say I think he looks great! #creaturecollector #idlegame #cozygame #screensitter #secondscreen

Been searching for 3 years now and now resorting to part time a fast food joints that still don’t want to hire me 🥲 can’t keep making games if I don’t have money coming in.

I’ve been slowly working on the next character, Kharis, a love interest for Celestial Waltz. Just when I need a break from pixel art aha.

When I think or talk about cars, autonomous cars, and public transportation I get so angry. The solution to traffic, noise pollution, and toxic air, car deaths, is simple but the love and need for personal cars gets in the way. We need more trains and buses and trams, paths for walking and biking.

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI: At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

The Cozy game I'm working creature collection game my team is working on has a store page on steam! Go wishlist to help us out!

My indie dev team is seeking to hire a video editor to create a videogame trailer for our idle collectathon Familiar Findings. If you are an interested editor with availability please reach out to me here with your rates and portfolio. #GameJobs #GameCareers #GameDev #Hiring #LFW #VideoEditor

This meme is directly talking about me lol

I made them so cute 🥹

So cute ;; nearly done the key art for #FamilarFindings can’t wait to show it off and get the steam page live! #indiedev

😔

Working on new art for #FamiliarFindings! Just our cutie witch summoning a new familiar friend.

Working hard to get the logo done for #FamiliarFindings. I like being able to have fun with a logo, nice break from the corporate branding I got so used to doing. Here's my process from sketch to colours. Which one's your favourite?

Drops of Death, a murder mystery visual novel where the killer is randomly selected at the start of the game. The killer can be any of the four love interests. The game is available now! 💀 💔 Play on Steam ▶️ store.steampowered.com/app/1404300/...

My deep secret that I never get to talk about is that I too am also completely normal about planes. Good to see I’m not alone.

Some more Backgrounds for my team's #liujam2025 entry, No Place To Go. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to finish all the BGs/items for the jam so we're only releasing the demo. I'm really proud of the work everyone's done though and of what I was able to do. #pixelart #pointandclick

Lookit them allll ;; they're so cute.

I’m deeply concerned with how this bill is pushing to make the internet less safe to use for everyone. There’ve been many data breaches and identities that’ve been leaked/stolen due to these kinds of laws. Whatever happened to the right to privacy? www.cbc.ca/news/online-...

It was only a matter of time, but Canada has joined the censorship bandwagon with Bill S-209. Sign the petition, call your MPs, raise hell. www.change.org/p/stop-bill-...

I'm moving next month, so I'm holding a sale so I can have less inventory and more money in my pocket! My merch, digital goods, and games are all seeing a discount. A 25% sale is being hosted on my Ko-fi store, itchio, and soon Steam! Kofi: ko-fi.com/husbandogodd... itchio: itch.io/s/153439/mov...

I'm thinking about *them* tonight. #Otomegame #VisualNovel #LoveInterest

I'm just over here drawing our cute little guys.
