Cool! I’ve sent it her way. And if they’re not interested I know she has some other indie marketer friends that might be looking. Good luck!

Is this position still open? I have someone who fits the bill and would def be interested!

i may be non-binary but im a game dev and i got game mechanics to prototype so i cant think about that right now

Ik it makes you feel alone but it happens to everyone. Promise you’re not the only one who has been left on read in a group. You only notice the silence when it happens to you, it sucks but know it happens to everyone. If that helps you feel less alone

OH THE ARTSYLE of this eats i love the textures!!

Mild early-game spoilers, but how else am I going to show you the #QoL feature I just added in response to player feedback at #TheGameExpo ?

Dialogue options are now greyed out after the first time you access them.
Will be added to all such multi-option persistent dialogue trees.

I think it’d be funny to release unstable nonsense tho- “why am I clipping?” “Why can’t I pick this object up?” “Why is the menu stuck on the screen” It’d be fun to watch the chaos unfold and give them what they asked for😋 Wish more people knew how much work went into making games fr

I make cosplay/props in my free time! Also sewing is incredibly fun and easy to pick up- recommend choosing something that gets you away from the screen. Been reading for fun lately too

OH YEAH THIS IS CONTENT

I will only accept HIYAHHH and HYAAA and mmmph…. Maybe a single “Zelda!” but that’s IT!!!! 😤

yuppp sometimes it’s fixing bugs for hours but no visual flair🤣 I still like reading dev logs of silly bug fixes though

Can’t edit the post on bluesky but our level designer does actually have a bluesky! My bad Emmayra 🫶🏻😅 @cansalot.bsky.social

The plan is to add two more levels, which includes an ice and lava biome (the temperature islands🧊🔥) and release a full demo in June 2025!

If anyone is interested in playtesting feel free to DM I’d be more than happy to send a link! 🤞🏼

I’ll be posting more dev logs as we progress more!

Silver put together a little trailer for our capstone game Perfect Soup🌟🥣

Expect more updates soon :)

Oh yeah I’ve used this to create interesting looking cobweb textures before! It’s a cool way to add “decay”

Yes!! I think everyone should learn and make one small game to understand how implementing art into the engine works so you can better optimize your art assets. Like sprite sheets, shading, and rigging in Unity/Unreal is SOOO helpful to know

this is the most beautiful game I have ever seen…

My current animation internship boss said I was “one of the best interns we’ve had- no notes. […] her ability to work quickly without sacrificing quality has made her an invaluable part of our team”

Was offered freelance work for them after the internship ends. But looking for full time if possible

Open to full time/contract roles in Concept Art, Chara Design, 2D/3D game assets, animation, or tech art positions starting June 2025.

If you hear anything about these roles do lmk! Ik it’s a tough time rn but if you hear word lmk, and I shall return the favor if I hear anything as well.

Showing off my business cards that I passed around at #GDC2025💪🏼

The QR Code did go to my portfolio but I now have an Art Station! Which is much more organized www.artstation.com/amandarau

If you know anyone hiring an entry-level artist or animator do lmk and pass on my info! 🫶🏻

Also will totally check out your stuff when I sleep off the convention fatigue! Also to clarify I don’t make vis novels myself but enjoy them. Continue to do what you do :3

Seriously. The disconnect this year between all the ai booths/talks by business folks and devs making awesome weird shit. But luckily most people are genuinely excited about the latter. Cheers to more weird visual novel making!!

the art is so slick!! 💪🏼🔥

I’m simultaneously inspired like “oh I can definitely do this, I just gotta take the leap!!” But also, “wow I’m way over my head and don’t have the skills…” And it changes every five minutes. Ask me in 5 how I’m feeling (*^_^*)

Ooh I’ve been meaning to check The Pitt out! Perhaps this is my sign
