Be sure to take your time, your brain can mess you up. Talking with other people helped me a lot :)

Spacefarer Games, a 1 person "indie game studio" steals Cyeides' Zera: Myths Awaken game, renamed it, recolored the textures and has it listed up on the Nintendo eShop. Spread the word that Spacefarer is a game thief!

Support Cyreides, the original creator! cyreides.itch.io/zerama

Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!

Was this for the playdate perhaps? Love all the details within these 1-bit restrictions <3

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

Preorders for Prison City physical are LIVE!

This is very special to me because it's my first *me* project to get a physical release, and I'm excited that it's gotten the chance~ Also I fought for the inclusion of milkcaps!

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

If you've got some money burning a hole in your PRISON WALLET I have GOOD NEWS.

Prison City's physical is going up for preorder on Feb 17th! (Also, buying Prison City is the BEST way to support TASQ's development)

(Also available digitally IF YOU PREFER!)

It looks like your artist has made AI assisted art. I don't know if you were looking for another debacle after the SNES rpg book so soon?

Does not really feel 'passionate' at all...

Wario-like game with gameplay depend on the weight of the lot you've collected. With a piggy bank god when you can deposit and take out cash to change said weight. Maybe a bit of a metroidvania level design influence, but nothing big. Just a fun short game

Hi friends, my commissions are open and I need to pay my bills, so I'm once again asking you to help an artist in need

In the US animation industry, ~$20 USD/hr is the absolute minimum amount you can be paid for your skills; most art-focused roles make more than that. If you do pixel animation for less, you’re undercharging, especially if you have several years of work experience!

Blocked the user in question. You should do the same. No AI required to push some pixels

Pixelartists, I am b e g g i n g you -

Don't work under minimum wage for *any* job. If your client wanted to pay less they'd buy one of your asset packs.

Your hourly should reflect your skill, but clients are commissioning you because they like your style. Know your worth.

I’m sorry but what did libertarians think that the anonymous money laundering racism coin that you could only functionally use for illicit activity was doing other than this, exactly

I was wondering why I wasn't seeing any JP posts on my For You timeline and turns out bsky re-set my language preferences to English only (why? I'm not even from an English speaking country) even though I changed them to all languages a long time ago.

They REALLY need to get better with this, man.

Want to once again remind you that the best way to view pixel art is to order fine prints of it from my shop and free them from the tyranny of the screen!
