JIMBO

A man dressed in a ridiculous clown outfit hates on another jester. He shouts "Look at him! He is not silly!" He continues "His jokes are terrible!" He becomes extremely intense and points to himself in narcissistic rage. "I AM THE ONE WHO IS SILLY!"

shigeru miyamoto smiles at the camera. he says "God damn this shit is taking forever"

how i'm feeling about this game i'm developing rn

It would be helpful if more people understood renewable energy is actually an extremely disruptive technology and the reason monied interests are trying to make folks hate it is that they are the ones which will be disrupted.

stop using chatgpt. i can also use em dashes and lie to you

Bluesky is a great site but you have to unlearn EVERYTHING Twitter has ever taught you to make it useable.

Repost yourself. Interact with others. Use tags. Use feeds. Be kind and find kindness. Comment away. It's really really freeing.

Bothered. Cracked skin. Unhappy. Off course. Unfocused. Withering.

it's gross you have to create the thing you created, it's unironically such a pain

i forgot to mention, twine is primarily an interactive fiction game program (text-based games) but with sugarcube you can add images (it's still good for planning narrative branches etc.) there's also binksi which is more like twine (kinda) but a very limited VN engine

a polka dot background with text on it that says: Trans Joy Jam a game jam about creating a brighter future

Announcing.... Trans Joy Jam 2025, a short game jam about creating a brighter future!

Any kind of game or fiction about trans & gender queer identities with an optimistic or happy outlook on the future are accepted 💙 This event runs until February 15th!

renp'y (python-based) is super accessible! twine, even more so (runs on html) :D there's also a twine to renp'y tool which translates your twine project to renp'y scripts!! and they're both open-source💗 the devtalk community (discord server) is super friendly for new vn devs too, highly recommend :]

I swear if this DeepSeek thing turns into “this is why we need more of ppl’s work and data for FREE so we can compete with CHINA” BS, instead of what it needs to be, a reveal of how pointless and inept the tech and its peddlers are and have always been, i’m gonna be so pissed.

Even if you do not create/consume/like NSFW media you must speak up for SWs and NSFW creators b/c the criminalizing and banning of it is just another step towards fascism. It will be used to target minority groups, LGBT, etc. and anything deemed "unsanitary" or "degenerate".

An edited meme of a photo of an orange cat standing on its back legs and looking down, seeming sad. Text reads: Not sorry for being obsessed with my own OC / It’s awesome and it will happen again.

unapologetic OC lovers rise up….!!!! #OCsky

I made a visual novel about sexy, evil, ruthless men creating their own HR nightmare ❤️‍🩹

And if you’ve played the game, rating helps other people see it too: arbitrrrary.itch.io/ambition-plo...

blender is such an uphill battle until you realise you can literally just make whatever you want to learn, goodbye donut and monkey face, hello blorbo #497

i LOVE the low-poly kind of model style, i bet it'll look even cooler when you texture it 🥹

[Alt] A landscape image with a transparent background featuring two characters in a chibi style. The one on the left is a short, tan person with light blond hair that comes to past the shoulders, they have a panicked expression on their face. They are being chased by a taller man on the right, who has a more pink-ish pale skin tone, he is wearing a relaxed expression. The shorter person is wearing a flowy open-shoulder sheer white top that is tucked into a belt adorned with golden circular accessories; they wear a pair of white shorts that come up to the mid-thigh, it has a silky also sheer pink-ish half-skirt layered over it. They are wearing a pair of leather sandals that come up to the lower shins. The taller man has dark, shoulder-length hair. His smile creases at the edge and a dimple is clear to see on his cheek. He is wearing a very dark and embellished priest-like robe, with a dark cape and a red chest-vest. One of his hands is clenched into a fist, except for the pointing finger which is fully stretched out as if pointing upwards; his other hand is behind him, it is grasping a knife. [/EndAlt]

i decided to make a banner after all, just feels like i should have one since i made some for all the other years' of the jam😭

you might see these two later on in a new micro vn i've been thinking of making recently😈... but we'll see if i have the time to ever make it! 🥹 #yandere #yanjam25 #vn

If it’s getting stressful, if it’s not fun anymore, if you’re feeling burn out - take a break, and consider lowering your game’s scope. Instead of a full game, release a demo. Instead of 5 bosses, lower it to 2. You can always come back to the project later and update it with what you had in mind.

The most important advice IMO

Hey, friends, try building your perspective around your figures rather than starting with a perspective grid, it's easier!

You see games very differently when you start making them.

From a player's perspective: Mario travels across the Mushroom Kingdom!

From a dev's perspective: Mario is banished from the universe when he touches a flagpole. A perfect Mario clone is birthed and dropped into level 2.

Atari 1600 Prototype 1983.

"im gay” “im straight” okay and???? I've played these games before?? I said I played these games before??

A reminder as Musk-bots, Trump-bots, and other bots start hitting Bluesky: blocking users removes their replies from your posts entirely.

The correct way of handlin antagonizing parties is to block. Not reply. Not dunk. Not mute. Block. It stops their reach and effectiveness right there.

My wish for everyone in 2025 is that all creators can purge the word "content" from their lexicon
you're not making content my friend you are making vlogs, webcomics, sculpture, paintings, crafts, zines, music, etc etc just tell people what you make

No those things are all enjoyable and rewarding. The frustrating bit is having to work 3 jobs to barely keep your head above water and never having time to dedicate to these pursuits
