All sorts of doodads on this whozeewhatsit.

Current WIP - rigged wings for bat mode yesterday, animated and put them in engine today (and drew a tiny lil' bat form smoke poof as a treat) This movement is feeling great! I stream randomly at www.twitch.tv/2ndfavorite if that's your thing!

Getting close to finding Count Bounceula's personality. I will let you choose the haircut, maybe.

I'm awful at the souls-like games and I wish I liked them but there is a major skill issue that is insufferable. Same with fighting games, I can't think clearly and my feral button-masher comes forth. 🥲

I've never been a huge tabletop games person, I will play but never seek them out - so imagine my surprise when I go to one PAX and start making my own design for a game called "Dogs with jobs" and it's all I can think about it.

What's that? That's the ADHD? Oh.

Goldfinch Tavern, Seattle.

This is what I imagine happening every time I use a chairlift. Nbd.

Since Mirage there have been pretty big updates. A new home base called the hideout, 10 new characters, entire map and shop has been overhauled. Some light game mechanic changes (but those are less noticeable)

It's at 47k right now, 58k 24hr peak - so it's doing pretty well right now, totally expect that to die down again before they enter an open beta

They have done such a slick job. The map's huge changes have been a blast to watch as an indie dev that loves game art. The way they released the hideout and the new characters was well done, and the item shop overhaul and theming is great

PAX West impressions:
- I am having fun
- I'm usually slightly intimidated by people in military gear in the real world (crazy? Dangerous?) but absolutely not here.
- Stereotypical gamer smell is real
- I love game art
- I love asking the indie devs about their work
-I am actually in love with Mario

A skater's grave. The headstone is a skateboard with LIVE TO RIDE printed on it.

‪This California Games 2 game over screen goes extremely hard.

@robotsmakegames.bsky.social here, have a void cat + platformer + card based roguelike as a treat. And they stream too!

Got the results hooked up to the CRT material. Slot: done. Inventory: done. Ready to realize these ghosties.

This was absolutely the inspiration

I'm pausing on the typing game to build out a smaller scoped project - a fun twist on tower defense where you run a temp agency for ghosts ... I'll fill you in more soon.

Got a "slot machine", inventory and name generator rocking over the past few days!

PSA the demo for Replicube is still available, it’s just not a giant button on the Steam page, it’s a little tasteful button on the right:

Replicating a duck in “Replicube”

Moving this project from Godot to UE. I am not a strong programmer and I got to a point where the web of scripts was too much. I've used blueprints for years so this is way more comfortable.

I've started finishing pieces of the environment, and have the keyboard manager set up so far!

Whoa. I'm kinda nervous but I think this change is gonna be great for everyone. Just don't forget, you can still wear full-rims when you don't want to stunt on these fools.

*spicy hug*

Update: I started working on a portal that looks like a butthole and it's a bit too much. I've got a new plan but please remember this moment and the sacrifices I make for you.

NEW TRAILER ALERT!

Alpine Lake has gotten so much new content and improved visuals that it was begging for a fresh updated trailer.

Please help me get the word out and consider sharing and wishlisting! I can use all the help I can get.

being so easily lured with photos of moss is my biggest weakness.
