Leo 🪙 creating Cozy Capitalism

There's so many things that you pay special attention to when working on your second game... like writing a clean options menu that's not a monolithic pile of 💩

Damn. That is very pretty!

Das literarische Quartett für games gibt es leider noch nicht 🙃

Advanced hunch, but without the ability to communicate uncertainty. What a combo 💯

It could also be though of as shifting the pixel grid with the camera.

Has anyone written a pixelation post processing shader for a 3d game, that shifts the screen in subpixel space to eliminate this odd drifting effect that usually happens? :)

Ooooh I did something like this a while ago. Are you using the backfaces with reconstructed uvs? :)

Please accept this selection of cute animals I met on vacation <3

Trying and then changing always beats overthinking 😊

I think the genre just hit its height of growth and feels less novel now, but still represents a huge share of gamers :)

I would definitely be fine with some cozy games that are less grounded and overly positivistic to go away though.

Name-dropping Skyrim and other IP in the steam description is wild 😅

Yeah! I completely avoid curator emails and use curator connect.
This is more about streamers and youtubers. I've noticed a weird pattern with twitch channels, all ai generated avatar, 20k-40k followers, no livestream in the last month, but a weekly stream schedule that just repeats the same events.

Ideally it would be something in the steam backend that lets you enter a cvs with steam user IDs and then batch gifts keys to those accounts.

We really need some sort of standardized way to send keys to reviewers on @steampowered.com outside of the curator system.
Half an indie's job at launch is judging if influencer emails are genuine or a funnel to key seller sites 😅

I didn't know the world needed a slapstick home repair game before!

Totally agree and this already happens informally a lot. Some sort of co-owned publisher for indies could be a great thing if done right.

Thanks! 😁 Yeah we can't wait to get multiplayer out 😊

Thank you ❤️

Oh hi there! 😅

I'm happy to announce that my upcoming solo project will be funded by @medienboard.bsky.social!

Right now I'm fully focused on finishing Driftwood, but I can't wait to share more about this new project soon! 😊
It will be something completely different and that's both scary and exciting.

Nice! :)

The worst part of that narrative is that it makes you feel like producing something thoughtful and polished is a mistake and you should follow the lead of games that are successful right now - when actually that is not a great path to take.

I just released the Geometry Sequence Player on the Unity Asset Store 🌟

With this package, you can play back:

- Pointcloud sequences
- Mesh sequences
- Mesh sequences with per frame textures

in the Unity game engine with high performance.
