I have finally finished CATCHING FISHES, and here's the trailer!

This is my first solo game, and it’s a short story about… taking a bath when you’re very tired : )

Hope to see you back for release day, on January 20!

I keep revisiting the Diablo 3 - trees post by @simonschreibt.bsky.social. Always baffled by the creativity and how beautiful results the simple approach creates.

Credits for Brent Porter (3D art lead) and Catherine Menabde (2D art lead) are shown here. There's a lengthy description of what they did, with a pastiche of various Demonschool characters underneath, messing around with a computer.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

I’ve been off treading the boards with a theatre project these past few weeks. But the curtain’s down now, and it’s time to pick up the stylus again and get back to work on ATT Chapter 2 ✍️

As a solo indie dev, I can tell you: reviews mean the world. They boost visibility, morale and sometimes even motivation.

So if you loved a game: say it loud, say it with a (Steam) review.

But godot does not support stencils for opaque geo. How did you achieve this result? Is this secret alpha geo?

Can't wait to show Adorable Adventures to everyone there.

Oh no! Boris' nose led him astray... or did it?

In any case, he's still barreling towards Paris Games Week to show off his Adorable Adventures to everyone there.

Boris doesn’t care about fashion.

He just wears what he likes: a flower, some sunglasses, maybe a juniper mane. He helps out, gets a reward, and looks adorable doing it 🐗💛

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Bus bench made of plastic where someone wrote "masked" on it.

Why use masked for an opaque object? Reality isn't optimised!

glad to hear that it's useful! <3

Yes, sorry for that! I corrected it in the online Version of the newsletter. :)
