28 days until Heya! Sumo Manager releases on Steam! Daily dev reveals begin today: First look at the completed arena and traditional dohyo-iri ceremony. #SteamNextFest was tough, but I believe in this game. Wishlist 🔽 #indiegaming #indiedev #sumo

I didn't watch a lot of Twitch streams before I met Johnny. Highly recommended streamer! Despite the clowns, they have a really nice, cool and comfy atmosphere going. Worth a watch, a sub and if you're a dev send them your game!

One idea I just had was to add a crayon and just have it be the shittiest thing ever😂

I've been trying to think of other tools to add and eventually have a "tool update", but I also don't want to undermine the simplicity. It could easily become too much and I really need be careful. Some rules: A tool should only have one functionality and add something new to the tool set.

Trying out a new tool for #portraitpaintergame🖌️ Can't promise it will be released because I'm having to change a lot of old shitty code + make a new model, but I like how it looks so it's quite likely it will be. #indiedev #art #painting

This means you shouldn't be able to change settings like size or opacity for a given tool. This is to stand by my core pillar: "Portrait Painter is a game not a drawing program". Tool ideas: ✏️Pencil - draws thin lines 🔆Highlighter - has 50% opacity and draws square shapes 💨Spray can - splatters

I have some big languages for my game like German, Spanish, Russian and Chinese but It's missing French! So far I've had friends localize for me, but apparently I lack French ones. Anyone here that would be interested helping out?
