Indie game studio. NO AI, all hand crafted. We are avid gamers ourselves. Check out our game! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2499080/Top_Gnome/ We enjoy nature, gnomes, kangaroos and love philosophizing about everything.
I made a video essay! It's a love letter to 3d software crammed in between several hate notes about 3d software companies. Maybe it can be something you put on in the background while you do art. :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4md...
Check out the progress of our first 3 days of #jamsepticeye compared to the final version!

We made a game for #jamsepticeye! Really came down to the wire on this one.

Oh boy! That was a roller coaster. Just finished our game for the #jamsepticeye game jam.
After 5 days we did it! You can play in browser, so no need to download anything. Let us know what you think!

Top Gnome is now officially out of Early Access! Haven't been too active on here for (mostly) this reason. Took way longer than it had any right to, but that's just how it goes in gamedev I guess?
Anyways, check out our game below!

I have a small design rant I want to spend a minute talking about, as it goes with a conversation I just had with @onyxprismstudio.bsky.social on the subject of studying games. From time to time, I see people talking about games that had an overnight success like Vampire Survivors or Palworld...
I had a great conversation with @onyxprismstudio.bsky.social that we're going to continue for a podcast, and one of the points that is so important for developers to understand is how difficult and vital it is to get playtesting done and to understand what people are saying about your game.
Top Gnome is officially out in Early Access!
It's been a long road, still tons of work ahead of us but this is a huge milestone for us and our studio @onyxprismstudio.bsky.social !
Check out the game and try out the demo here! v v v

Awesome! Looking forward to watching.
Blue steel!
Layering things for the shop animations is nuts.
Its kinda funny how the shop screen is the single most involved thing in the game, yet the most rushed through thing by players. (NO micro-transactions, just in-game earned currency)

@dnbc32.bsky.social Talks about games that blew up with no marketing. For #gamedev #indiedev #indiedevs #solodev, follow her about marketing!
One of the cool things about making everything in house, is that you can make any font you need! Saves a lot of money on licensing.

An interesting thing we have noticed about our game.
Once you get used to the mechanics and "git gud" it behaves kinda like a mental fidget spinner.
People with ADHD seem to be able to focus in conversation better, including the devs :)
The Animation Guild Petition is so frustratingly close to 60,000 signatures! We have been delivering these signatures DIRECTLY to studio executives. We are going to win a fair contract this negotiation!
Please sign and 📈BOOST📈 and #StandWithAnimation! Thank you!✊🏻

Every. Time.
Yep 😪
That was a damn good read.
Thank you for that, reading now. These AI companies are a plague.
Its so good! the guy who made it put so much effort into it.
And no it's not AI either, although the AI companies have been trying to get at it.
I find confident decisions comes from one of two places:
1) Prior experience and mistakes
2) Reflecting your thoughts off of others
If you don’t have the former, seek the latter.

Got room for us?
Coffee time is every time!
Life tip: Nobody is stopping you from putting a dot on the top of your USB cables
It takes 1 second and saves you trying both sides and somehow only plugging it in right when you look at it
Tried out some of my old pixel art in my 2.5d project.
