I cannot stress how important Rebecca has been for trans gamedevs. I wouldn't be here if not for her and her wife.

Help if you can.

Poster that has a painting of a tattooed body submerged underwater, the head just poking out. The words say “Creative Debut, Read Katherine Souza’s piece in dogyard mag!” “There’s a lump in your throat. It’s wriggling. You say you don’t know why this happens when I touch your sternum. But I see the lump for what it is: a bird you swallowed to keep the chirping muffled in a corporeal tomb…”

Come read #dogyard! Our FIRST creative piece! @kattysouza.bsky.social is a delight and we were so grateful for her work and we hope you love it as much as we did. She's a DOG FOR LIFE!

Had a great time playing Black Flies on Friday. Good dice system where your rolls determine how much scene-building agency you give away to your fellow players. Definitely check it out

three gouache vignettes. The left depicts a marble statue, the middle a vellum parchment, and the right a chest in front of a brick wall

Alright, I've entered the next stage after color roughs: underpaintings! All 115 pieces will have roughly blocked in colors/textures with acrylics + gouache. Then I will finish them off with oils with final remasters in digital. Breaking apart the process this way has made the artbook less daunting

No worries. Mostly inconsequential. I lurk, watch, sniff things occasionally and then leave.

Hey. This was nice.

We're publishing Katherine's book! Explore the world of Uy, dive into a new dark fantasy, and gobble up all the handdrawn art (just like this water creature eating some goodies). Follow on Instagram @ whispersoftruatra for updates

Amazing night at a local gamedev meetup. People are cool. Yay pals

I got to talk at length about my backstory, how Where’s My Water came about, how to give and receive creative feedback, AI and a lot more on this podcast! I can be a little verbose so maybe listen at 1.5x speed 🤣

Ash and I are making a game about building little settlements in a wasteland that welcome everyone, and where nothing happens without cooperation. And also there's a bouncy little tank and explosions everywhere.

"People hugging + obnoxious nonsense" is really our MO and boy howdy, does this deliver

Get Hidden Folks on PC + Mobile on the Epic Games Store.

Hidden Folks is this week's ✨ Free Game ✨ on the Epic Games Store!

It's a beautiful & silly game I'm very proud of! You search for hidden folks in hand-drawn, interactive, miniature landscapes.

store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/hidd...

For Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS (!!) (in the EU).

Thank you for this. I had a similar experience with a close friend. Luckily we were able to work through it together.

Humbling to me. If you combine trauma, isolation, a few nights of bad sleep and a service that will listen and respond to you infinitely I think many of us could be vulnerable.

In other news, Replicube is inching closer to that exciting 500-reviews-and-therefore-might-get-the-overwhelmingly-positive-moniker-threshold! If you've played the game, consider writing a review 🤓
