Since the topic is RPGs & cultural lenses, I'll repeat that Xuan-Yuan Sword 3 is a must-play in this sense store.steampowered.com/app/1638230/... Set in the 8th century, you flee religious fanatics in Europe to pursue knowledge along the Silk Road. A wild contrast to the usual Europe-centric views

This game is about to release into Early Access TODAY and I have a spare giveaway key. I'll post it into the replies for anyone to grab once this post reaches 500 reposts

It's nice that OpenAI includes a little "ask ChatGPT" thing at the bottom of their own bullshit so that even ChatGPT can make a statistical guess that it is indeed bullshit.

!!Welcome 2 Papertown!! Here's a lil trailer for the new demo we released on Steam :) check it out and please help us spread the word if you're into shooty shooty action FPS games like this! (Warning: Gore & Distortion) youtu.be/XbQBUMcaktk

taking 5 comms, rt are apprecciated 🧙

#pixelart Character/Environment/Background artist for hire (and affordable w/o AI slop!) Part-time gigs would be rad

Spacefarer Games, a 1 person "indie game studio" steals Cyeides' Zera: Myths Awaken game, renamed it, recolored the textures and has it listed up on the Nintendo eShop. Spread the word that Spacefarer is a game thief! Support Cyreides, the original creator! cyreides.itch.io/zerama #videogames #psa

game dev friends please share this around. people like this poison our industry and they need to be called out. here is a comparison video of the original vs the one from "Spacefarer games"

Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

Preorders for Prison City physical are LIVE! This is very special to me because it's my first *me* project to get a physical release, and I'm excited that it's gotten the chance~ Also I fought for the inclusion of milkcaps! limitedrungames.com/products/pri...

Reeeaaady to catch? ⚾️ The first demo of Robo Catcher is now available on #steam! (1/2) #creaturecollector

New Kickstarter coming in hot! GUN NOSE by Addy Valentine Music arrangement by Scruffy, Written & Performed by Addy Valentine. SUPPORT THE KICKSTARTER BELOW!

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

If you've got some money burning a hole in your PRISON WALLET I have GOOD NEWS. Prison City's physical is going up for preorder on Feb 17th! (Also, buying Prison City is the BEST way to support TASQ's development) Link: limitedrungames.com/products/pri... (Also available digitally IF YOU PREFER!)

The release date is finally here 😍! LOVISH, coming February 5th to Windows and modern consoles! #lovish #indiegame #pixelart

We just put up 2 contract job postings for @eveningstar.studio. These are both 3D Art roles - 3D Game Animator (Contract) - 3D Game Rigger (Contract) Have a look at our jobs page: eveningstar.studio/careers.html (Please all submissions via LinkedIn, unsolicited portfolios will not be reviewed)

Hi friends, my commissions are open and I need to pay my bills, so I'm once again asking you to help an artist in need

In the US animation industry, ~$20 USD/hr is the absolute minimum amount you can be paid for your skills; most art-focused roles make more than that. If you do pixel animation for less, you’re undercharging, especially if you have several years of work experience! animationguild.org/contracts-wa...

Blocked the user in question. You should do the same. No AI required to push some pixels

Pixelartists, I am b e g g i n g you - Don't work under minimum wage for *any* job. If your client wanted to pay less they'd buy one of your asset packs. Your hourly should reflect your skill, but clients are commissioning you because they like your style. Know your worth.

Guess I'll keep going. #pixelart

I’m sorry but what did libertarians think that the anonymous money laundering racism coin that you could only functionally use for illicit activity was doing other than this, exactly

That this show has let me collaborate with some of my most talented friends makes my heart very full 💛

I was wondering why I wasn't seeing any JP posts on my For You timeline and turns out bsky re-set my language preferences to English only (why? I'm not even from an English speaking country) even though I changed them to all languages a long time ago. They REALLY need to get better with this, man.

Want to once again remind you that the best way to view pixel art is to order fine prints of it from my shop and free them from the tyranny of the screen! www.inprnt.com/gallery/mech...

✅making games is a communal effort that requires the specialized labor of many different fields. ✅making games is a solo artistic journey where one person stubbornly creates everything on their own. 👍👍both ways are artistically relevant, and bring different things to the table.

Hi friends! I'm happy to announce that our little mouse-bouncing adventure Beast Breaker will finally be playable on Steam! Everyone thank our friends at @kandofactory.bsky.social for making this possible. Lots of details about all the new stuff here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWfQ...

Added a few more games and finished up entries for a bunch more on my big spreadsheet of Cool Free PC Games. Considering that some are multi-game entries, that's over 350+ things to play, many of which are full, retail-worthy times. If you've got any kind of PC, videogames are just kinda great.

Happy 🔧 ICONOCLASTS 🔧 anniversary! Sat a long time on physical goods, and could use help for coming projects. I decided to try a few auctions for support! Hope this is a good avenue for those of you asking for this. I have always been grateful for your support! 💛 www.ebay.com/usr/konjakon...

No studio will ever generate 4 options and be like one of these is perfect. They will generate hundreds/thousands driving up executive indecision and take just as long. The actual problem is not how long artist take, its leadership not knowing exactly what they want. AI will not solve that.

We traveled back up to Edinburgh to be there as Rockstar Games and its fired union members took their case to court: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnui...

uh oh it s time for : new game. this one is ❄️ SPACE CORGI 2: SNOWHOUND PROTOCOL ❄️ 🐶 pilot my ACTUAL dog s 🔄 switch freely between dogs (UNLIKE space corgi ONE) 🌭 one dog is PRETTY LONG 🍞 the other is NOT USEFUL 🧱 30 levels !! what? in ONE GAME? listen adamatomic.itch.io/space-corgi-2

One more shout-out for QBJ3. If you like retro FPS games at all, you NEED play this. Available as both a Quake mod and a FULLY STANDALONE FREE GAME. qbj3.slipseer.com 77 one-shot Quake adventures with almost all-new weapons and reworked enemies. Maps range from 5 minute blitzes to multi-hour epics

i am a firm believer that making games is a deep skill. it's technically challenging. but there is a way to make something, at any detail level, which is empowering to everyone on the project, appropriate to that scope, and which feels whole and holds water artistically.

Boy, I tell ya. #pixelart

Wish I could internalize this

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

I really hate how games media handles anything out of China: www.thegamer.com/clair-obscur... We're getting a gorgeous remake of one of their best RPGs ever, but the clown does zero research about it and just goes "I'm getting a lot of Boss Baby vibes from this..."

New commission post! Currently doing character sprites for $50. Reposts and Likes are appreciated! For inquiries or any other services please DM/Email me!

I'm starting to write more reviews of smaller titles on Steam. 1. Reviews are very helpful for developers and players alike. 2. It's a nice way to cap off a fun time with a game. So not only do I recommend Babushka's Glitch Dungeon, but I also recommend writing reviews of indie games you enjoyed!

Babushka's Glitch Dungeon is only $1.49 until Jan 5!! store.steampowered.com/app/1876850
