GET BLOODIED. ASCEND THE LADDER. SLAUGHTER THE BIG BOSS. ONLY THEN, MAY YOU ESCAPE THIS HELL. beyond excited to share this today. i've been working on this on-and-off again for the past year or so, and have had the concept in mind for a dang decade+! catchtheclown.com

⚠ NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT ⚠ CATCH THE CLOWN is a surrealist "action real-time-strategy" adventure set within a hostile 90s art program, inspired by classics like Mario Paint, KidPix, and Desktop Destroyer. 🤡 Wishlist it on Steam (helps us a lot!) s.team/a/4800260/ #PitchYaGame #GameMaker

web development is my passion

did a lidar scan of my new apartment and then saw backrooms, so afterwards i spent like 5 minutes making this lol

thanks for doing this! 💕 my friends and i have been making Flowerdrops, a physics puzzler where you use bouncy raindrops to water flowers! we just released a content update with a bunch of QoL stuff in it as well ;) steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3708530/... itch: natikatz.itch.io/flowerdrops

i've been obsessed with meshblend since i saw it last year, it's so sick has anyone made anything like it for godot? if not then maybe i'll just have to figure out how to do it myself....

Hey folks, let's do an indie #ShowCasey for pride month! 🏳️‍🌈 Calling all LGBTQIA gamedevs! Do you have a game you want signal boosted? Reply to this post with a link to your game's store page and a quick description, and let's get you some eyeballs! There's only one rule: no generative AI.

Some other StellStar explorations

StellaStar is a personal project I've played around with for ages. StellaStar is a tech company based off the 5 senses. Founded in the late 50s, their Ai eventually takes over and creates Plastinery (plastic scenery) that uses biological material as infrastructure underneath

do you think a hundred thousand years ago there were people like carving a little guy and then going to their partner with it and saying "this is u"

wrote a blog post about my experience making games zzox.net/blog/8-years.html

having had eyes on this you're gonna want to look out for this, its really really good

I should release my new game on the same day as GTA 6 purely out of spite

i’m going to be there with my wife @natikatz.bsky.social and our horrible clown game :)

Well that's it. I've done it. I've finally done it. The Labyrinth At The End Of Time is now listed on Steam! I made a kick ass new trailer for it and everything! Check out the trailer below or in better quality on Steam - and then wishlist it while there! store.steampowered.com/app/4793030/...

doc is really great at tapping into why people act the ways they do (almost like he is some kind of "game" "designer") and this is yet another fantastic piece on, in my opinion, a lot of the cultural stuff that has led to everything being The Way It Is

i had fun making the 3D parts of this trailer! oh and also the game is cool and we added a tiny feature that makes beating a level wayyy more juicy ;)

hi, i'm skye! 🌸 i'm a musician with over 20 years of experience in basically any genre you can throw at me. i've done large soundtracks, dynamic/reactive music, ambience, and plenty else! DM me to talk details, and in the meantime check out some of my discography: skyeash.bandcamp.com 🎶

throwback to when i made this phonetic alphabet for fun

I mean this sincerely: I am enjoying this era of indie game aesthetics that push the filtering so hard that it's not even "this is what it would be like to play this game on a CRT" but "this is like seeing a photo of a game running on a CRT printed in a magazine with slightly botched printing"

so i guess my whole account is going to become flagged as NSFW once bsky makes that change because i've posted a handful of very tame NSFW artworks before? sighhhhhhhhh i wondering if deleting the posts before that change takes place would fix it? i really don't want to though :\

but actually though- I'm really proud of the new trailer we put together. @skye.computer reused the 3D elements she made for the keyart/boxart in a really fun way. it might not be my "favorite" trailer we've ever made (not even for this game) but I love how well it matches the game's vibe.

the new trailer has this guy in it so you should probably watch it maybe.

Any time a creative turns to this tech, they are saying "I do not respect the people who do this thing. I do not value their creative contribution to my vision. I think they are so worthless, they can be replaced by the machine that ate their work." It's not surprising this is seen as hostile.

Not letting creatives work on side projects is legitimately evil and I hate it. It should not be legal, such contracts should all be unenforceable by law. What are we doing as a society? Capitalism is the enemy of art and science.

another clip from the vid I released last month! this bit focuses on how I made some shiny gems for one of the Volcano themes 💕watch the full 5 minutes here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cx19...

You have the right as a human being to make art. That includes art that is not perfect. That includes art that is not good.

🌸 big news! i'm finally releasing a new album (and i'm really excited about it) 🌸 it is a collection of recent things and not-so-recent things. i've dusted them off for you here: skyeash.bandcamp.com/album/dusted...

musicians gotta work like 60x as hard to get stuff in your ears. everything is an extra click away. we gotta learn video skills to make something enticing enough on social media bc most just don't support audio as a native thing (and even if they did would you still click it?)

wanna feel old? the sega genesis came out six hundred years ago

this guy is going to become someone’s entire personality (positive)

sometimes i think about the person who (at review time) had enough playtime in flowerdrops to have 100%ed it twice over and said it was one of their favorite games :)
