Are you a content creator of beautiful, cosy, artsy games? 💛 I want to hear from you! 🥰 recs & shares super appreciated! 🌸

Day 29: 2025/08/08 - 8h CW: annoying text sounds Finished implementing the ground floor club interior, got object interactions animating as intended, & started adding crossfade to music effects when switching tracks. #DailyDevlog #Moonshell_Island #gamedev #gamemaker

I need to listen to some new (or old) ambient and ambient-adjacent albums. Please share your recommendations with me. 🧡

business cards imply the existence of leisure cards.

Age verification? I remember when the first Leisure Suit Larry asked you a bunch of questions at the start and booted you out if you didn't know the answers, because only an adult would know them

no one has been arrested for the epstein files but chipzel music is removed from apple music truly it is the time of monsters

The coolest thing about the internet was always that it was decentralized and made by people. You would find a cool niche website and it would become one of your favorite personal places to visit. Now we spent most of our time on like 5 sites and it's not even fun anymore.

Sam has been sharing her progress with Moonshell Island publically in this devlog. It's been so much fun watching her build this beautiful game.

Day 26: 2025/08/05 - 9h CW: possibly annoying SFX Polished & added more ways to trigger SFX: - Floaty acorn pickups! - Area triggers for looping, pitch-varied, repeating, 1-off, & crossfading loop sounds! - Walking on beach grass sounds silly! #DailyDevlog #Moonshell_Island #gamedev #gamemaker

I have a pet peeve with writing: When characters constantly bicker and argue with each other. In real life, people disagree all the time but not everyone is constantly outspoken and aggressive about it (except on the internet).

Whoever came up with doubles luge was totally NOT homosexual in any way whatsoever.

When I was a kid, every boy in American TV shows was called Zack.

About Nancy Guthrie's disappearance:

Day 23: 2025/08/01 - 8h Added room transitions and a more structured and customizable audio playback system with dynamic crossfade controls. This works with cutscenes, sound trigger 'areas', and room switching. #DailyDevlog #Moonshell_Island #gamedev #gamemaker

Day 22: 2025/07/30 - 6.5h Now begins Sprint 2: Audio System! To get oriented, I added footsteps, environmental SFX emitters, and temporary music controls to experiment with effects and switching between @queergermangirl.bsky.social's tracks. 🔊🎶💜 #DailyDevlog #Moonshell_Island #gamedev #gamemaker

Day 21: 2025/07/18 - 10h CW: annoying sounds The cutscene system is now complete for this stage of the rebuild! Scenes can now start with actions, I added camera movement & fade transitions, & @queergermangirl.bsky.social's music loops perfectly! #DailyDevlog #Moonshell_Island #gamedev #gamemaker

I finally gathered the courage to create a video and show my face (it’s such a weird thing to talk to a camera) This video touches on how I arranged a theme from the game “Love, Ghostie” into a Gameboy version which includes the 4-channel limitations. I hope you enjoy it!

Is there a list called "Things We Could Do Without AI" because both of these things were a thing before AI was a thing

Day 19: 2025/07/16 - 12h CW: annoying sounds, some repeated content from last post Cutscenes can now move the player & hide/show the textbox throughout a scene. These & other actions are unstable & finicky to execute without glitches. #DailyDevlog #Moonshell_Island #gamedev #gamemaker

Day 18: 2025/07/15 - 11h CW: annoying sounds The cutscene system is off to a promising start, as I was able to implement some basic character actions into a dialogue sequence! Not a bad start, but still plenty to learn and improve. #DailyDevlog #Moonshell_Island #gamedev #gamemaker

I’m columbomaxxing real hard these days #pixelart

My buddy Eric wrote this episode! So proud of him

Day 16: 2025/07/13 - 9h CW: annoying sounds Made some final tweening adjustments to the dialogue elements, and things are looking good! The text changes when fading out, so I'll fix that tomorrow. Sorry, Doug. Gonna need to run these lines again! #DailyDevlog #Moonshell_Island #gamedev #gamemaker

My kingdom for a goddamn article that says how to do something in a piece of software and not a YouTube video

This is SO COOL! 😍 Real lovely physics based synthesizer (including gloriously vapory design) put to awesome use 💖

once again, i must strongly suggest that you look into the headlines you repost before you repost them. look up 2 or 3 other sources. *read* the article, if you're able to.

Feeling blue makes it hard to focus on my work, so I'm taking a mental health week to recover, learn, and grow. If I can learn to program, I can learn to overcome my personal troubles too! #pixelart

Since June 2025, I've been learning to code in #gamemaker as I rebuild #Moonshell_Island from scratch after losing another programmer. Follow my #gamedev journey one day at a time in this thread! More recent #devlog sprints available to paid patrons, starting here: www.patreon.com/posts/21-day...

I like this balance of trying to make things you actually care about while not giving those things such extreme importance that your life and identity depends on them.

You can just make a fake 90s OS boot sequence for fun 💾✨ Ain’t nobody gonna stop ya!

Hey bsky, we're still looking for an Unreal Tech artist based in Quebec. Apply if you want to work an really cool unannouced game... www.useparallel.com/skymapgames/...

Hello, it’s me. I played the devil today in a film.

If you're a composer that utilizes Musiversal it might be time to drop them. They have a clause in their terms of service that grants them the rights to train machine learning models off your recordings, and by extension the music you wrote. musiversal.com/terms-of-use Check out clause 1.7

This is very applicable to indie game devs. Don't try to make a game for the masses, it's not going to work. Make your own weird game and don't water it down at all. SOMEONE out there is gonna go crazy for it, maybe a lot of someones. People can feel passion, and they react to it.

on the one hand I never thought evil could be so stupid but on the other I'm glad it's not smart

One year ago I was featured on this compilation, still worth checking out:
