Took in a stray and I love her but it’s REALLY hampering my dev time lately 😅

Thanks dude! Lots of noise on Reddit for sure, but also some solid advice if you can sift through the bad faith takes. This trailer is a lot better than my first attempt thanks to some of their suggestions.

Reddit clowned on my last trailer so here’s a redo. Yay or nay? 🧙‍♂️🧁🪄

Really is brutal out here haha! Will certainly return the favor and your horror, lovecrafty RPG sounds right up my alley!

The updated demo is FINALLY live on Steam!

Before I send this to publishers, give it a play! I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback to address any blind spots.

Thanks from a fellow dev and sometimes pixel artist! Keep on crushing it with your sweet asset packs 🤘

Been working on my games central hub this past week which is a cute lil bakery! There's a lot more to see but here's a snippet of the storefront!

Began building my games hub which is a magical bakery, so naturally we needed a cute lil espresso machine to get things started!

Lol yup, everyone thinks they’re up for the stress and commitment making a game entails but few truly are 🫠

Appreciate the feedback! I’ll concentrate my efforts into the hood and his oppressively straight back haha, ty! 🙏

Cthulu inspired cultist for the upcoming church stage! Looking for any tips, tricks, or feedback as I'm not a pixel artist but am now 100% solo requiring me to learn the craft!

Interview with the creator of Rune Song We spoke with Jesse Luciani about his upcoming indie game, Rune Song.

Did a fun little interview with @retrogamingpappa.bsky.social over at Spillhistorie! We talked about life as an indie developer, my upcoming release, and favorite childhood games! Thanks so much for having me!

No problem dude, dig your whole vibe! It was great watching your playthrough and very helpful hearing your thoughts. Thanks so much for taking the time 🫶

Dude I was just watching this today and then blasted through your other stuff thanks to the algorithm, didn't even know we were already bluesky buds lol. Good luck on your journey and I'll for sure be following along!

Did you play the Rune Song demo yet?!
@alexplswhy.bsky.social did and provided great feedback! If you're a creator interested in covering Rune Song, let me know so I can shout you out too!

Altune is a funny and charming dude with a clear love of art. Check out his channel: www.youtube.com/@Altune-

Even if that’s the case, it’s still gotta get done and coincidentally is the best way to improve on your skillset. Keep going 👍

Thank you for the love! The writing is hit or miss for people so I’m really glad it worked for you! If you have the time, it would be so helpful if you dropped a review on our Steam page but above all, thank you for playing! 🙏

Thanks Albert! Enjoyed the work I saw on your feed as well and excited to keep tabs!

Understandable! I’m not into it either but I’m not sure any other way to get the word out tbh lol. Appreciate you making an exception in this case and hope you dig the demo if you play it!

Thanks so much for taking the time to play! If you wouldn’t mind, I’d be so grateful for a steam review so others might be incentivized to give it a go! Either way, I’m static to hear you enjoyed yourself 🫶

Nope!
