I'm in my apartment now. My own apartment.

Huh.

It's quiet. I feel very lonely 😅

Got myself my first apartment just now. It's a bitter sweet thing, it'll be the first time ever that I live alone. I've always been living with *someone* through my 35 years on this planet.

It's scary but exciting! HALP!

Hello there.

Anxiety tried to kick me in the ass today. It got a few good hits, but I'm still standing, damnit!

Thank you medication, lol

If you ever get the chance, if it exists at all, listen to The Twisted Ones...! It's incredible!

History of Crinkly Sticks and Origins of Powerful Staffs.

I... don't know why. I immediately thought of something history-related but with a fun title :D

I think this is my last #screenshotsaturday before GDC, here's a little preview of the Character Movement and Exploration we've been working on in Moonstone!

Science Fantasy Third-Person Action RPG where you and your party fight against a hostile technological occupation.

I'm having WAY too much fun with my side project atm! Working on something that isn't too heavy on story or atmosphere and more focused on mechanics and silly fun. It's a tower defence where you'll be able to build your own towers and unlock so much stuff!

Ooooo this sounds like an awesome idea! I'm thinking about doing that with either movies or games to be honest!

I hope to be able and show off a bit of my tower defense project soon. A video with some commentary! Super early stuff but I hope it might be interesting for some 😛

Im having so much fun atm with making new mechanics and balancing numbers! So different from the story-heavy stuff I'm used to. Haha!

I feel personally attacked.

Only difference is that I gave up and now I'm trying to get started again.

Halp.

If there are any interest of horror games, let me know! Currently working on a sequel - You might not be interested in solo projects though. 🙂

It's a tower defense game btw, and it is in a veeeeeery early state! Everything is just cubes so there's not much to show. 😅 Well, here you go, lol!

I just finished a few hours of work on a project I shelved but started a few year ago (no, not Partum Artifex, sadly) and I had so much fun...! It's outside my comfort zone, it's slow progress, but it's fun to learn and create...!

I've missed this feeling. I hope it'll stay for a while 💚

Happy New year everyone. I hope that 2025 brings some joy in my life a new start perhaps.

2024 wasnt enough, apparently, so here's hoping. 💚

...

I think it's obvious I'm not a big fan of new years.

Happy holidays!

I hope you all are having a wonderful time with family and friends. The game is now on a record-low sale on Steam to celebrate the holidays! ❤️💚❤️

As always: If you know someone who still can't afford it, send me a PM. We'll sort this Christmas for them! 💚❤️💚

OpenAI and Future partner on specialist content OpenAI and Future, the global platform for specialist media, have today announced a strategic partnership to bring content from Future’s 200 plus media brands to OpenAI’s users.

Question. You can't claim AI work under copyright... no? If that's the case, it would be fair play to copy all of it and post it on other platforms. All these upcoming AI generated articles from EDGE and co. could just be put on other websites without any problems, right?

Then you know the wonderful tool that is Miro to put all your digital notes and things! :D

This is going to be a boring answer but... Pen and paper. Throw down your ideas on it, sketch little things, pour your thoughts down and when you feel like you have a good understanding of your idea, then continue going digital. That's just my personal way of doing it :) Also: references!

#gamedev Bisky! I'm designing a house where my game will take place (two floors + attic + basement). I'm looking for a good Windows app to make floor plans for my level/environmental design. Ideally open source, or at least not super expensive. No online tools, preferably. Any recommendations?

6. Most annoying character - Huh... I havent thought about it before!

I'd say... Tiny Tina from Borderlands.
