A Paper Fortune Teller Zine! I'm very nostalgic for paper fortune tellers but I have a complex relationship with fortune telling itself, so I vented it here. #collage #papercrafts #zine

adderall got me looking at my computer like

Letting the heart of the cards guide my plant naming today, you just have to ✨believe✨.

Card art I've been working on tonight. Not sure if this will be a final or just a draft. I've got some more outlandish ideas about what to do with the snake that may not look good outside of my imagination The name of this card is 'Tilling Hognose'

Gonna wait to show it (cause they're appearing in my first play test next week!) but I have new visual card designs and they're awesome

Footstep sounds working as intended 👍 (caution, this may be loud)

I was tinkering with enemy speeds today and I think this might be slightly too terrifying

Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

Working on customizable icons for players to use during duels and I've got this guy as an option. I look for old images that have a whimsical element and I tend to find lots of good stuff

Added a nice little card flip effect whenever you draw cards! This is in 2D so it's actually a "fake" card flip, but it looks real and will even more so when you consider lighting + shaders. Entirely done in code through Godot's Tweens, which makes every part of the animation customizable

This moon pissed

Sneak peak of a CPU Personality in MANCY. Every enemy type has their own personality that determines their style when dueling and, for some of them, when building their own decks. They have favorite cards, traits, most hated cards, and many other surprises in store

Placeholder art working as a source of inspiration on this one 😂

One of my more out there designs for a card element, but I'm very fond of it. I do a lot of mixing real world textures with digital elements, so I'm often on the lookout for interesting looks like this. This texture is from a series of 19th century French wallpapers that I found beautiful

Brain is feeling fried but progress on MANCY continues at high speeds! I'm on track for the first play test before the end of this year AND that play test is featuring more content than I originally planned 😁

Attention Indie Devs! I just need 15 seconds ... of your game footage! A lot of people jumped on the 15s video trend, so I thought it would be cool to make a compilation to help indies get some visibility. The anti-spam key is "kook". lonewulfstudio.com/indieshowcas...

Created an email waitlist for my game, MANCY. Sign up here to be notified once the Steam page is live, so you can wishlist and support me 😊

Got to attend @oakcityindie.bsky.social yesterday and it was wonderful! It was my first time being at a game con of any sort, and it was a joy to meet so many passionate and talented people working in the same medium as me. I can't wait to join in with a booth of my own next year!

@scryfall.com Hey Scryfall quick question! I heard on the TapTapConcede recently that all the cards before a certain date are high res scans. I noticed you don't have a French scan of Tooth & Nail, how can I scan it to submit to the site?

Things that cost nothing - but is a HUGE help for any and all indie devs: Wishlisting - it gives games data to show publishers there is interest. Leave a Review - ESPECIALLY if you liked the game. Reviews on steam lead to the algo serving you up to others. Reposting - it's an attention economy.

Working on expanding the complexity of opponent's behavior in my game, Mancy, today and it's somewhat difficult but rewarding! In some ways it's easier than creating player options (because it's more predictable) but in other ways much harder because I'm trying to replicate a player's decisions

I put together an early trailer for Blue Ocean Game's Rising Tide 2 contest! If you want to vote for me and other indie dev's, you can sign up with my referral code blueoceangames.com?ref=xof0kuxv or by going straight to their website I'm having a blast making Mancy, and I can't wait to share more

Just hearing about this...and I'm going to be putting together an early trailer of my currently unannounced card game to submit!

Been thinking a lot about packs for my upcoming card game and there's so many cool ways to do them! They're becoming a bigger part of the concept than I originally envisioned and I think the game will be stronger for it 😁

without critique, magic is explicitly entrenching itself as a collectible over anything else. commander is collectible: the card game. UB is a collectible with bonus rules text (see: pokémon). sales prices reflect goals (see: pokémon). understand the game's future and decide what you want from it.

Hi Bluesky!🎨🐒 We're Daydream Gallery, a 3-person Indie Game Studio creating "Extremely Cool & Unique Experiences™️". We're currently hard at work on Trading Card Inspector! tinyurl.com/habubis 🕵️🃏 #gamedev #indiedev #unity #1bit #habubis #TradingCardInspector #Steam

Did you know I made a pack of 175 pixel fonts that can be used for commercial/free games, websites, videos, stream overlays, and more? You can buy the entire pack or buy the font families individually! I also made a trailer for it: youtu.be/45Ylt2FLJxI?... All available on itch: chevyray.itch.io

If anyone saw my question yesterday and was also curious to know the answer, I ended up asking on /r/Godot and getting some excellent answers!

After about two months away from it I've been working in Godot again and I've improved a lot! I'm developing better habits in code architecture and I have a much easier time knowing how things should be setup 😁 still planning to announce my first full release this year!

If you listen to podcasts to fall asleep, what do you listen to and why? I have an idea but I'm not sure if people would listen
