Since I always forget to post art here, have some doodles from today #myart #pixelart #doodles

one of the greatest path blockers in the history of video games

If people pitched "crawl before you walk" as "you gotta warmup before you sprint" I feel like I would've followed it way sooner

Here's mine for today! I tried doing pixel art fur for the first time and think it ended up pretty good! #myart #pixelart

Did another pixel art challenge with @codablue.bsky.social. We rolled a really fun character prompt this time and I got inspired to play more with gesture! #myart #pixelart

@theartofgaming.bsky.social and I will be spending MAY 16TH giving a talk on Naninovel and Unity about visual novel development! We're cooking up some weird and interesting stuff, so please be excited and get your ticket for VNDN's Speaker Series today, okay?

Here's my go at the prompt. For some reason I decided that even though the given canvas size was 48x48, that I would use like a third of it lol #myart #pixelart

Played some of my old games today. Turns out, they weren't the awful embarrassments I convinced myself they were. All had good bits and one of them I actually just *like*. So uh dig up those old games you're ashamed of and give em a play. You might be pleasantly surprised. #gamedev

Lowkey thinking about buying tomodachi life and using it for art/writing inspo

Got told shaders were hard and scary forever. Went to a talk, made a list of ideas and just went for it. Now I have two mediocre shaders! And it was super fun! From now on, I'm just doing it anyway!

Wanted to share these sketches I'm still really happy with. #myart #ocart #7s&s

Me: excitedly telling my therapist about ripping the CD I bought My therapist: Why are we going back to the 2000's Me: I'm not! CD I bought: Evanescence - Fallen

Got my #playdate yesterday! Been loving the games so far (Echo Drop is so well designed!) I have plans to make some games for it as well!

Happy Black History Month. It's a good time to remind you about Jerry Lawson's influence in the video game industry.

BLACK GAME DEVELOPERS, WRITERS, ARTISTS AND CREATIVES AT LARGE I NEED YOU TO BE LOUD THIS MONTH*. I NEED YOU TO SHARE YOUR WORK LIKE YOU WILL DIE OTHERWISE, DO NOT BE PRECIOUS ABOUT ABOUT IT *This message also applies to every other month of the year, but the extra attention should be leveraged

@gameengines.bsky.social I would like Unity, Godot, and Unreal labels please!

Hey #PortfolioDay I'm Carrot, an artist and game dev making queer games and art (mostly overdramatic and sometimes horror-stained mlm and mlnb). I recently lost my job as an editor, so it'd mean a lot if you'd check out my work as I try to figure out what the heck I'm gonna do! justacarrot.itch.io

I'm Arimia, a visual novel developer & anime artist making fantasy gaymes 💜 I like blogging about game dev & indie games and run lots of game dev events like Steam festivals and game jams ✨️ #PortfolioDay My games: store.steampowered.com/developer/cr... My blog: arimiadev.com

Take some time in your communities today. Connect with others, get to know your neighbors, have a face to face conversation. In these times we need to band together and be able to support one another. If you want to spread awareness, talking to someone in person is often a great way to do so.

I've barely posted any of my art on here so in celebration of all the new people, have a little art dump #art

The secret to a healthy creative career is hyping up your buds and knowing they'll hype you in kind!

Ok it's out! Can you survive a night with a vampire? Keep Iggy from getting blood-sucked by his charming suitor! With 🦇1 short gay (very thirsty) vampire 🐇1 cute awkward nerd A darkly comedic romp that can hopefully make you laugh (and feel things) #visualnovel justacarrot.itch.io/my-vampire-b...

It takes a lot to make a visual novel—especially one with as killer a style as @nthcircle.bsky.social 's of the Devil. This month I interviewed some of the team to talk about their game dev process, how they approach designing visual novels & more! Read it here: arimiadev.com/developer-in...

We're excited to announce that we're publishing @azurextwilight.itch.io's newest horror visual novel "Onigashima" on Steam! If you're a fan of visceral meaty horror and stories set in medieval Japan, check out Onigashima here: store.steampowered.com/app/4101510/...

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.💜

@thestarfishface.bsky.social Fanart I promised when we shook hands at LBX! I kept thinking about those t-shirts you got at old horror attractions and such but decided it'd look cooler a bit distressed

Quick thread about the 9B panel at LBX because I think it changed me. Firstly, this room was packed and packed full of other black creative as well. The panelists were varied, some self taught, some not, some had a decade or more under their belt, some were more new. All supported each other

So I just got to lbx and THE FASHION on display I s2g. I paused writing this like 5 times to complement people

I'm so ready for lightbox tomorrow! Sketchbook that I may or may not have bought just for this: check. Passes: double check. Social battery: charged with ways to break away for recharge when needed. Now all that's left is for tomorrow to get here!

Almost 200 pages of game dev resources including: 🧑‍🏫 pitch decks 📢 marketing 🎨 art assets 🖥️ programming tools 🗣️ conference talks 🔎 job searching/careers 💰funds and more! 👾

As my first thread and final post of the year, I wanted to reflect on media and influencers that inspired me in 2024.

I recently did a courtesy call with an indie developer. They wanted to talk to me because their game's target audience is ... uh, me. 25-40-year-old women, many of whom are moms. They wanted to know: what did I need to pick up a game? What would bar me from playing? Here are some answers 🧵(1/?):

A reminder that if you want to get your favorite creators a holiday gift this year *for free*, you can give their show a review / tell your friends about it / engage with their content! It really makes such a difference to us!

After a lot of effort, it's working well! I'm controlling the cursor with the left stick of my PS4 controller. You can push the stick farther to move the cursor faster, or slightly nudge it to move it more slowly. There's an optional "snap to center" to help you select buttons, too! #renpy
