My development process usually involves accidentally reinventing every Zelda game at least 4 times

Not even going to begin to explain the Vaporeon meme to them. I think they’d combust.

Trying to explain this to non-Pokémon friends and them looking at me like I’ve ruined their lives

If you make art (any art! Not just visual), no matter how big your audience or if you think you're "successful" or "enough", you are giving people the energy to get through another day.

You're part of the reason folks have an easier time holding on.

Keep creating!! Your art matters!!!

there is no "I" in vdeo game development

For absolutely no reason at all, how about a wholesome pet pic thread?

Well… hello to all the new Bluesky users joining after *that* happened.

Added! :)

Was asked if I vaped/smoked/drank at the dentist today, to which I said no. He then said ‘Wow. So you’re just living life, huh?’

Idk if it was a compliment or judgment but I just KNOW he wanted to use the term ‘rawdogging life’

The style of this is absolutely gorgeous!! Added, best of luck with your release!

Day 4 of being stuck in bed with flu. Running out of movies and need suggestions!

Today marks 1 year since I quit my job to pursue a career in games.

I wish I had a success story to share, but the reality is that it has been incredibly tough.

But we move into 2025 with the same determination. 💪🏻

(He didn’t seem happy about this and I fear my days are numbered)

Santa Paws (Derek) says Merry Christmas btw.

Robobeat may be my GOTY. Nothing better than blastin’ bad guys whilst your guns sync to the rhythm of Don’t Stop Me Now.

Plus, one of the weapons is a ping pong paddle. Levels of genius my mortal mind can’t comprehend.

I don’t know what these games say about me except for the fact I’m kind of generic. #SteamReplay2024

Set in Aokigahara, widely known as the 'suicide forest'. Originally a heartfelt narrative about suicide, I learned of the efforts to improve Aokigahara's reputation and pivoted to create a quest based on folklore and wildlife.
