What I call it when my soda goes flat.

the summer hit radio stations slept on

As expected, Silksong is full of bugs.

A chimpanzee sits in a chair at a typewriter with papers on the table, mimicking human typing. Text says: Can a monkey write the complete works of William Shakespeare? Given infinite time, some say yes.

Can a monkey write "Hamlet"? 🐒

The infinite monkey theorem states that given an infinite amount of time and a typewriter, a monkey randomly pressing keys would eventually produce every possible finite text – including the complete works of Shakespeare.

I've kept thinking about this article ever since I read it. It's not just nostalgia, they really don't make them like this anymore.

Just rolled credits on Death Stranding 2. They did it again. 👍💙🥲

A multitude of pixel art monkeys sit on a stage in front of typewriters, their fists raised in celebration. Letters above their heads spell out the entirety of William Shakespeare's 18th Sonnet. The number '220' is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

I'm working on something insane. #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart #godotengine

Is Seattle Pax West?

Doing #pixelart for my next project. #pixel_dailies has been a fun way to develop daily practice! Pretty happy with how today's #brokensword turned out.

Ok I genuinely need some input. I have this game concept and I can't tell if the idea is just too fucking weird to have an actual audience. There's a little "beta signup" at the end of this thread so you can register your interest to tell me if I should build this! You could also repost!

Thread:

It's been a while since I've done this, and the world is bleak - so we can all use a little art & creativity.

What is everyone creating nowadays? Games, art, music, video, writing, anything - whether it is early, almost done, or just shipped. Feel free to include trailers, images, links - whatever.

The Last Sunflower by Keenardo A short cinematic sci-fi runner about bringing life back to the cosmos.

I've spent the last few years learning PC gamedev after starting off making #DreamsPS4 games, remaking my Dreams games to learn Unity and Godot. I just released my second one last week! keenardo.itch.io/the-last-sun...

The Last Sunflower by Keenardo A short cinematic sci-fi runner about bringing life back to the cosmos.

In Spring 2023, I made a game in #DreamsPS4 called The Last Sunflower.

In Spring 2024, I began remaking The Last Sunflower in #GodotEngine.

And now, on the first day of Spring 2025, I'm happy to announce that The Last Sunflower is available to download on #itch!

So excited for the first day of Spring tomorrow! Doing something fun for it.

I have shared this story, this thread, before - but I think given the state of the world, it's worth telling once again. Maybe it can help, especially if like me, you make art, and you wonder what the use of all of it is right now.

An icon on a desktop of a game titled The Last Sunflower. The icon features the face of a bee-shaped spaceship with light from somewhere shining brightly on it.

Making an icon and then seeing it on my desktop is consistently one of my favorite parts of #gamedev. So excited to share this one with everyone soon.

Our new MinnMax Interview brings together the developers of Mouthwashing and 1000xResist to celebrate each other's games!

Any help sharing this insightful discussion between @wrongorgan.bsky.social and @sunsetvisitor.studio is appreciated! youtu.be/bSK8kWoAlD0

“In my game [you help someone jump over a big chasm] and you do it by [being there when they fail and pushing them to continue].” -Making The Leap

“In my game [you bring life back to the universe] and you do it by [flying a bee-shaped spaceship into the sun]." -The Last Sunflower

If you want a place to start:

“In my game [the gameplay or story goal is this] and you do it by [describe the game loop].”

I’ve seen so many devs fail to articulate that and/or show it in their trailers.

Usually at best they just describe the game loop to which I ask: “So what’s the goal?”

Severance x Prince of Persia sounds frickin sick

Making The Leap becoming a part of Indiepocalypse was an absolute highlight of my 2024. So thankful something like this exists, and would love to see it grow and continue to be great! Check it out!

Intergalactic announcement has me replaying Guardians of the Galaxy. What a really excellent game that I don't see talked about enough.

Check please.

The Drone is rocketing towards the center of the Sunflower, using its lateral thrusters to dodge a massive petal that has rotated into the Drone's flight path.

The tiny drone approaching the light at the center of the Sunflower, the last Starseed.

Time to show off what I've been working on this year! This is The Last Sunflower, a short cinematic scifi gauntlet run. Rocket your way between orbiting petals and attempt to bring life back to a dying cosmos. Originally #MadeinDreams, now being remade in #godot. May The Garden Bloom Anew in 2025.

Deactivated my X account.

Just finished Neva by @nomadastudio.bsky.social. Thank you all! I needed that today 🥲❤️
