Benjamin is ... making a game

Going to start a thread for my final #Halloween build and celebration. It’s my 12th year (skipped one last year) and I need to go out on an absolute high! 🎃🧙🧟👻🏚️

That made it here fast

How did I not know there was a new Kena in development?!? www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R2W...

Before painting the entire rock, lava. etc of this model, I am taking a brief detour to learn 3dCoat Textura's interface and tools on something a little more manageable 😆

If you'd like to support me (for free) you could help out by wishlisting All-in-1 on Steam. It's at 2,000 wishlists now but hoping to reach 5,000 or (even better) 10,000 before release! store.steampowered.com/app/4059160/...

The night the stars fell

The more thematically entertaining (and arguably better) crossover would have been PowerWash Simulator x Splatoon

Me, at parties:

Y’all are absolutely bringing an extra inspiring and beautiful creative energy today. Appreciate each and every one of y’all, and everything you bring into our world! 💜

I found another upload by the actual dev if you feel like raising this one's numbers instead

Getting the breakdown post ready to go, should be out in the world later this week! In the meantime, here's this nice little cinematic zoom of the Dogtown Ruins

Also @onsta.bsky.social 's portfolio is here and is amaaaaaazing, check it out! I knew from day 0 this was THE vibe for this album, before I even wrote a single bit of the music 💖 onsta.carrd.co#portfolio 💖 bsky.app/profile/onst...

Man I'm so psyched to be releasing my new album on vinyl 🥰 I love physical media *especially* records. Very grateful to have this made into a tangible THING 😍 And obviously biased but holy shit that @onsta.bsky.social artwork is everything to me alphachromeyayo.bandcamp.com/album/midnig...

Go see Wildwood. Seriously, don’t wait—go see Wildwood. What a piece of art. The love for the manual craft, for story that doesn’t hold back, for filmmaking that is not here to answer to stockholders, it weaves all through it. Incredible stuff.

The Stumptown x Laika coffee crossover for Wildwood got me right in the wallet!

Similar to many other indie folks, I find myself compelled to make the hop to Godot for all the reasons. Found a great resource from a recent “square zero to game” developer that seems to match my own learning journey. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Between Tim Sweeney being an absolute AI chud and the harassment of our beloved @kenney.nl, we've decided to cancel our previously announced Epic Games Store release for Shape Sender Deluxe 🚮

After 1.5 years of pouring my heart into my very first game, I'm so excited to finally announce that... Drawquarium is coming to Steam on November 13! 🥹 Draw your own fish, bring them to life, and create your little underwater world, even as a live wallpaper! Like+RT = ♥️ #IndieGames #Cozygames

The dragon will retrieve any goblins who accidentally fall into the cave. They are very gentle.

Often, I find myself blown away by skillful paintings that capture light and detail as a photograph might. Every so often though, along comes a photo in which nature renders itself as an unequalled masterpiece, reminding me of the limitless possibilities and beauty of our universe.

Poison explosion animation! I enjoy drawing, music, and coding, so I’m always going to just avoid ai because I don’t understand offloading the fun… But it is disheartening trying to gain visibility in the sea of slop. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Feel you there... Then again, us indies need to do what we can to help each other out :) Well our audience here is mostly other indies, but still a share can't hurt^^ Nice sploooosh!

I know this may sound completely daft, but now that the rainy season has started here, and all is grey, I get to make tea, eat pastries, and read all morning, and that is an increasingly enjoyable pleasure.

The more I read of this book, the more I am reminded that there’s an argument to be made for calling a “red ball” a “blue and green ball” instead, based on the fact that it absorbed* far more of those two wavelengths of light. * and in my simple mind, held on to like a sponge

You should try the Mio3 blender extension! It adds a bunch of tools that help uving make sense, like orienting them to the world instead of being rotated every which way. It's free of course: extensions.blender.org/add-ons/mio3...

Apologies, the app posted w/o my alt text verification 🤷 Here is some: The image in the original post shows the front of a hardcover book. It has a full bleed painting of an outdoor cafe in an open plaza in front of the tall spire and dome of a large building. The title is Color & Light.

Reason and Rhyme has been out for a week! It's a perfect game to play with a friend this weekend, we are approaching 50 positive reviews for the game, thanks to everyone who has played so far! store.steampowered.com/app/4461870/...

Would you believe our game is built from basically just 1 texture?

Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.

While most artists are just starting their art challenge with some kind of tober, I've already finished my Septembit 2026 Landscapes. I was happy to get back to it after a while #PixelArt #Septembit #Septembit2026

Basically the first 18 years of my life in one photo.

Now I'm moving on to UI integration, trying to give it as much care. The UI art was done by @similicuir.bsky.social based on our previous game's UI improved with the help of @wtfux.bsky.social (thank you both 💖)

In the final game experience, UI, UX and camera are all things players might not notice much, but they are still super important: if they are not done right, it will be noticed ;) For instance, I have been working a lot on my next game's camera to allow players to examine plants in detail.

You might have seen the original "no genAI seal" by @kanaratron.bsky.social. I've made the icon into a set of assets in both PNG and vector formats that can be more widely used in different contexts. You can find them here: www.joramwolters.com/no-gen-ai-ico/

here it is: the biggest single piece of art I’ve ever made 😳 Inspired by eyewitness book ecosystem cutaways, it’s sort of uh a psychological ecosystem of metaphorfish as one does
