That's a good dude right there

Quietly chugging along and making my little 2D game assets. 🙂 I had the opportunity to get my first Steam launch experience with the wonderful team of Crashlands 2! Over the year, I made hundreds of assets across four projects and the variety always had me learning something new. #artvsartist2025

Made this game during the #gmtk #gamejam as a palette cleanser after Crashlands 2 and it's rapidly bloomed into the silliest, possibly most fun thing I've ever made?

I know the post-burnout pivot is a hot trend right now for #indiegames but maybe it's a trend for a reason 🤔

How Many Dudes does it take to beat up a gorilla? 1,000 toddlers? A unicorn?

These are the questions our next game seeks to answer.

RT & Wishlist on Steam, and lmk what other dudes and creatures we should add!

@itch.io ‪‬@gamemakerstoolkit.com Our #gmtk2025 jam game started with the question: How Many Dudes does it take to defeat a gorilla? And ended with an answer to the question: How Many Dudes does it take to defeat 2700 toddlers?
(bloodsplatters optional, of course)

Oooooh should we put How Many Dudes on there?!

Update: my wife just decimated 2743 toddlers with 60 dudes.

But those 60 dudes were nit enough to handle 13 Silverback gorillas. RIP heroes ☠️

How many dudes does it take to defeat a gorilla? THIS is the question we sought to answer with our game for the #gmtk2025 #gamedev

Play it and let me know how many toddlers your dudes can defeat bscotch.itch.io/how-many-dudes

The TL;DR - like all things in gamedev, trailers are an integration challenge that require work from the entire team and that work has to be prioritized against working on the game itself.

3) There's a lot to do *with* the trailer after delivery (uploads, localization, caption burn-in, storepages/presskits, delivery to external festival teams, cut-downs (15s or 30s version), etc). Knowing what the process looks like lets us find ways to parallelize those and keep timelines tidy.

2) Discovering additional tooling that we need, like toggles for in-game UI, snapshotting tools for story beats, etc., then estimating build-time for those and prioritizing them against continuing making the game itself.

1) The initializing of the project as well as feedback takes work from the team, so we need a headsup on how to integrate your workflow with ours. We also need an understanding of when other partners (sound contractors, box-art or graphics folks) may need to get involved.

On the #GameMakersNotebook Podcast, @trentkusters.bsky.social chats with brothers Seth and @adamcoster.com of @bscotch.net about their recent release CRASHLANDS 2, how their brother Sam's cancer diagnosis led to the original CRASHLANDS, how they solved a common indie marketing problem, and more!

‘Crashlands 2’ Improves on the Original Game in Every Conceivable Way and Is a Crafting/Survival Masterclass (Review) 'Crashlands 2' takes everything that made the first game great, makes it even better, and adds plenty more to boot. It's a joy and a half.

A massive congrats goes out to @bscotch.net, @adamcoster.com, and everyone else who poured their blood, sweat, and tears into #Crashlands2. It was worth the wait, and the game shines for it. Fantastic stuff that you need to check out as soon as possible: shorturl.at/OIpKV

Just wanna say the clay look is so damn cool and I wish y'all the best launch!

buhhhh some sus follows just showed up in my account, then like and reposted *their* posts (onlyfans?! wat).

I guess this is a good reminder to everyone to enable 2FA (which I now have -_-).

quite the way to return to bsky after forgetting about it for a few weeks 🫠

Nearly 5 years of work make this the biggest, zaniest thing I've ever done, and now it's got a launch date!

FEELS WEIRD BUT ALSO GOOD. #crashlands2

That cape flow is delicious!

We've worked with the bards for nearly ALL those 10 years and they've been excellent. If your game needs SOUND AND JAMS (and it certainly does) give them a look!

I love the obscene hacks we come up with when doing stuff at scale. This is the way!

But also why a million grocery stores?!

That's a good distinction, though I'd still say that attrition is a lot less fun generally.
