I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives.

I'm always a little sad when a submenu isn't resilient to this kind of user motion, like, didn't we solve this 10+ years ago

did you know? you can go to a formless star and see many animals and things

this will be out tomorrow, wow! i'm planning on releasing it around 6pm UK time! see you then!

This is cool as hell. 🚃🚃🚃

Indies seem to more often properly optimize their games because they genuinely want everyone to have a good experience, and the backlash to poor performance is more impactful when your reach is smaller.

I could be wrong of course, but that is what it seems like at the moment.

My take is that proper optimization takes a lot of work, and to a large company more work means more costs. Making it almost impossible for a game to be optimized in a larger corporate structure, as the majority of consumers either don't mind, or are taught that their device is just too weak.

I thought you meant like, any game made could run on a ps4, if you just go through the trouble of optimizing it, which also seems true.

Though I also agree that a unique aesthetic vision will always be more valuable than fidelity.

LOOKING FOR STREAMERS/CONTENT CREATORS!🌻🐝

If you're a streamer/content creator who's interested in Honeymancer, or if you know one who might be, please let me know!
I'm making a list of people to potentially work with/send codes to in the future.

Thank you for the help! 💛

You can now see the release date on Steam! 🐻✨
Some of you might have noticed it said "coming soon" even though I had announced the date. That was because it didn't allow me to change it. But after a couple of week of back and forth with Steam support it's now fixed and the date is showing!

See 3,722 Nintendo DS home screen icons in one spot!

Please spread the word, retweet and follow me if you're so kind :)
