I feel like Ludum Dare consistently chooses the only theme I have no good ideas for

Did not expect Exit 8 to be a "How the fuck is everyone in this thread completely missing the point this badly" kind of movie

Saw Exit 8 since I haven't gotten to go to an actual movie theater in years. It's a lot better than I thought it would be. It's at its best when anomalies are subtle and just sort of left in the background of a shot. I really appreciated that kind of restraint and trust in the audience.

Gonna post a few more screenshots of False Fruit V2.0 as time goes on. It's been hard, because progress really isn't "You finish this area completely, then you finish this area completely, then..." Even as far as we've gotten, there are things in the first area that are still obviously unfinished.

Fascinating Steam curator

May have to make a new account for the upcoming Ludum Dare unfortunately, but I would really like to participate this time around.

Didn't work on False Fruit much today, but I'm hoping to finish up a huge task tomorrow. It's something I've been going back to and updating throughout the entire development process. One of those things you consider cutting out basically the entire time you're working on it.

we have really reached terminal levels of being unfunny

Really love how much of this video is the player getting stuck in a pit because of an inexplicable invisible wall

I love how literally every method I've seen anyone use to implement pausing in GameMaker feels busted in a different way

i don't know why this showed up in the game dev feed, but WOW what a way to stylize "County"

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

In gamedev spaces I kind of take up the role of "family dog" who's happily kept around by a lot of genuinely skilled programmers while I smile completely dumbfounded by most of what's happening around me

Sometimes I wonder if anyone's excited for False Fruit V2 or if they all just follow me for my amazing personality, nice tits, etc.

I really think we're making something special

I understand that most of us don't have the means to personally stop what's happening and there are many domestic victims of the US regime, but there's something very grim and galling about seeing Americans post "we must find moments of joy" every time our government murders children.

a difficult day for Abod's family. shellings and martyrs in his neighborhood. his daughter Leen is very sick with a high fever, and hasn't been able to eat for three days. 😰 only two donations in the last week. please share, or give what you can, to support my friends ❤️ chuffed.org/project/help...

Be real does anyone who enjoys story in games do this

Has it been long enough that I can say that "I consent!" meme going around on here was one of the worst trends in recent memory

A Tokki for easter :D play RUBATO #DynamoArt

Fixed up quite a few scenes in False Fruit V2 that I wasn't super happy with yesterday :^)

Rubato joins the ranks of Hollow Knight in "games that are shockingly normal about gender in a new and exciting way"

an experimental, 2D physics-based take on the collect-a-thon genre #art #rubato

I have a little False Fruit-themed patch on one of my jackets, and I feel like I need to prepare myself for the possibility that at least one big YouTuber plays V2 and a coworker asks something like "Oh hey isn't that from that game ManlyBadassHero played a while ago"

derealization

Oh wow I'm glad the itch.io April Fools joke is restricted to the homepage bc that shit is illegible

False Fruit V2 is canceled because it is so sucks

I like when people draw Ao Oni as like, a guy you could hang out with or some kind of nurturing mother beast

I don't know if anyone cares about these details, but I think False Fruit V2 will have its own itch.io page, and the current page will be renamed to something like False Fruit (Jam Version). Itch says trying to get on the pages for new releases is pointless, but I like it...

Is there literally any hope of getting Yanfly to fix problems with their RPG Maker MV plugins at this point... One of the plugins we paid for just isn't functioning how it's meant to.

Made an RPG Maker plugin that wasn't immediately made irrelevant by a different plugin that does the same job better

This should win an award for being the most useless information of all time

No spoilers, but I beat Rubato, and wow. I really don't think any game I've played since Undertale 10+ years ago has made me feel that... much about it. I still don't even know how to talk about it without spoiling what makes it so special. Please pick it up.

Rubato fans, yes or no only, do I get anything worthwhile if I beat the toilet stage

Here's a basic run-through of how this effect works without any kind of animated picture or particle plugin. Hopefully the effect is more visible than in the gif, because it's actually pretty cool in-game... #gamedev #indiegamedev #rpgmaker

You need to play Rubato

good news everyone, throwing sticks and heavy rocks at children (something I've been doing for YEARS, BTW!!!) is officialy woke ,and queer af

Rubato is so far one of the most fucked up games I've ever played in my life

I get to go home and play Rubato

Too many cool games have been releasing lately you guys gotta relax. Rhell, Rubato, Atonement, probably some other stuff I'm forgetting. I need a minute to catch my breath

My new Scavenger Horror game, ATONEMENT has released on @itch.io Search through an endlessly looping forest in search of the keys to your survival while avoiding the Harbinger of Divine Punishment. Featuring music by the creator of Slender: The Eight Pages! glitchedlizard.itch.io/atonement

I feel a little insane seeing Mira Lazine and Trans News Network spread around as if they're legitimate news sources and not grifters who have platformed pedophiles and started harassment campaigns against black trans women to garner money for themselves
