Ludocene: Game Discovery From People You Trust A dating app that matches you with games rather than people. A deck-builder that profiles your gaming taste.

There's been a lot of talk recently about game discoverability on Steam, so here's a reminder to check out Ludocene, a game discoverability app which is powered by people, not algorithms. It's nearly reached its goal but needs a little more to make it happen:

Too sauceless, Too much slop. Not enough swag, not enough metal. That's the problem with 2025 game's.

the best joke in videogames development is replying "ship it" to every broken ass prototype no I will not be taking questions

I actually might just look around myself and see what plugins have to offer! I thought of a “typing to attack” battle system for a one-off battle, but it looks a bit complex so I might just settle on shopping for what exists lol

Thanks! I’ve already started looking into a few plugins, if you have any recommendations on spicing up combat let me know! I currently have MV so I think that’ll be what I go with.

Thank you for the info! I’m primarily an artist & narrative designer so I might just shrink my scope a bit and go for RPGMaker. Thanks for the input, this definitely helps set my idea in stone!

Thank you so much! I’m new to programming, so I’ll keep that in mind. RPG Maker has.. interesting UI so learning gets a ton harder. Again, thanks for the tips!

I’m excited to announce that due to popular demand, we will release the full animatic of Flow aka Float aka the Crazy Frog Edition. Instead of using storyboards, all the scenes are designed directly in 3D. Everything was made in Blender and rendered in EEVEE.

It's kind of hard to elaborate on my game without spoiling it, but it is a turn based RPG but with a variety of what turn-based attacks look like (like typing out an attack or scrambling where certain interaction buttons are) so that's where my RPG maker concerns come in lol

I'm between RPG Maker & GameMaker for my first solo project. I feel like RPG Maker games have a dedicated fanbase and a solid genre designed by the platform, and I really like the community. However, I feel like GameMaker might be easier to do what I want to do in. Does anyone have advice?

ok, cis folks—if you said you'd stand with trans folks, it's time.

S.9 is the senate's sports ban bill—a big step to making trump’s executive order a federal law, which is much harder to undo. it can be stopped *monday.*

What better to do than make friends this friday! All sorts of characters are waiting to meet you in Bearly Baking. Come hear their stories!

#indiedev #indieteam #indiestudio #art #game #cozygame #videogame #gamedesign #friends #friday #digitalart #gamedev #writing #characterdesign #writingcommunity

Indies will not save us until y'all start demanding Valve take a smaller cut of revenue from them. Because that 30% cut is responsible for more indie studios folding after their 1st game than anything else in this industry

The top of the image reads “character artwork in Bearly Baking”. The first character (listed left to right) is a cat that is knitting, the second character is a grizzly bear, the third is a mole in a fuzzy pink robe, the fourth is a possum in a business suit, the fifth is a chipmunk in a brooding cloak, the sixth is an owl holding a cup of coffee and a broom, and the seventh is a human backpacker.

There are several wood rectangles functioning as clickable buttons in-game on the left hand side of the image. To the right of that are text box UI art with their outlines. To the right of that is the images of a book open and shut, for UI for a book that opens. Above that is a leaf button, with a clicked and unclicked version. To the right of these is a furnace, showcasing the on & off art. Below the furnace is a text box that reads “UI ARTWORK in Bearly Baking” with an image frame to the right of it. Next to the image frame is a bell that dings when pressed in-game, and a tray for food.

A variety of ingredient assets for a cooking game. Top left is a bowl of dough with a spoon. Bottom left is honey & chocolate drizzles. To the right of the dough bowl is a jar of nuts and a jar of cinnamon sticks. To the right of the jars is a basket of blackberries, and to the right of the basket of blackberries is a basket of nuts. Going back to the chocolate drizzle, to that jar’s right is a tray of baked blackberry muffins and below that is a tray of baked blackberry bread. To the right of these trays is a basket of uncooked dough, and to its right are baskets of pumpkin puree and blueberries.

The top line of text says “Friendship Art (for Bearly baking)”. Beneath the text there is a 2x2 grid of images. Top left is an image of a bear in a forest smiling with birds. The top right image is a possum eating bread while reading the paper. The bottom left image is an owl sweeping the floor while looking into the fireplace. And finally, the bottom right image was an unfinished sketch for a chipmunk character’s friendship art.

Here’s some of the artwork I did for Bearly Baking that I never posted! I did Character Art, UI Art, and some Portrait Art for NPC friendship levels.

hey look i drew that matcha drizzle 😋

Bearly Baking by AlexisBliesener We serve muffins and bread! Pull up a chair!

Hello! We are Water Bear Interactive Arts, a small team of developers working on a full release of our game Bearly Baking. The game is currently in early access on Itch. Here is the link: alexisbliesener.itch.io/bearly-baking.

"Sorry, your game sold millions of copies but our projections said it should have sold at least fifteen trillion for shareholders to be satisfied, so we're going to have to fire all of you. Now watch the news unquestioningly report that your game was a commercial failure. Probably because of woke."

I can't handle the cognitive dissonance: Every day, I see headlines about record profits for tech companies, then open my mailbox to find dozens of messages from desperate writers and gamedevs who can't find work. Make it make sense

You have to. You have to find joy even in the struggle, when and where you can. In the community, in the closeness, in the conviction that a better world is possible and in refusing the one they want us to accept in order to cultivate the creation of the better one.

art direction > anything

we don't need better computers
