Art for Drifter, the main character of Arcanaclysm! Drifter was a scholar of magic who devoted his career to studying the nature of godhood. Now he is on the hunt--determined to hold the gods accountable for destroying the world. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Tiny, colorful baby scallops — a total cuteness overload in one dish! You might think, “This person posts the same creature every year!” But honestly, seeing the same life return year after year is something truly wonderful𓂃🫧‪

When I'm rested and interested I can traverse abstract connections across sixteen dimensions and fabricate reality; and when I'm tired and bored it takes me sixteen hours over three days to fix a single-line beginner bug in my code.

This is right, of course. I remember though, playing Hollow Knight absolutely obliterated my ego back on The Last Librarian. One of the most important ways I've grown is how my love for the genre finally banishes my insecurities. I'll be playing Mina the Hollower tomorrow and taking notes. 💜

I haven't posted a proper game update in 8 months, because I was too busy uh... being trans. But, I am still working on Arcanaclysm, an epic fantasy adventure game where the items change every time you set out to explore. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #GameMaker #randomizer

Very occasionally now, I am feeling totally myself, and it strikes me suddenly, as if for the first time, that I am not merely a woman but a trans woman. And this is somehow the most surprising fact I've ever learned. All I can do is laugh, my experience is so absurd and novel.

I'm so mad that eating more healthily, doing yoga every morning, going to pilates & circuit training & badminton, trying to limit screen time & read before bed actually make me feel so much better - it fucking *works* truly sickening

WARNING: Audio is mild Episode 8 #TADC spoilers. An animatic I finished last week but forgot to post, probably one of my best yet. Featuring characters from @cloakedgames.itch.io and others.

My DnD character is sooo doomed, if he dies that will be the /best/ outcome. Every other fate is worse. I love this game and I love Shuckle. I hate this game and I hate Shuckle.

This is my first game so it's moderately sensible. If I end up doing this full time, I'm going to eventually end up making games where the only way to purchase it is to find me and chase me down IRL like that rabbit in Mario 64. Either that or find the golden tickets I've hidden around the world.

Was like, damn I wish I had more than one trans character in this story so I could cover more angles, and then I realized I can just do that. You get a gender, everyone gets a gender!

It started off main protagonist with a supporting cast, and now all the secondary characters are *way* more interesting. I think I might have to make this game proper JRPG party style, even though that's massive scope creep, I'm not sure I care. #gamedesign #writing #fantasy

The villains in my games are unrealistically kind.

Kirby's epic yarn is one of the best games ever made.

May 2026 be better, safer, and fairer. May all that was good in 2025 be better in 2026. May all that was bad in 2025 be things we put our efforts towards improving.

It's personal this time.

About to enact my most dastardly villainess scheme; eating an entire tub of roasted red pepper hummus.

Nothing quite like homebrewing a boss stat sheet and drawing a battle map 45 minutes before players show up.

No big deal but I have a non-crash full-compile only bug with a read-only built in global with different results within the same frame yet identical scope and callback and it has either a 7% or a 70% replication rate depending on its mood.

technology that makes people more productive is inherently used to perpetuate capitalism, that’s why I make videogames, technology that makes people less productive

You'd think after 25 years I'd know how to drink water without choking myself, but hey, there's a lot of things I could've learned sooner--it's never too late I guess.

*Rolls dice* "Huh, okay." "... I hate you." #outofcontext #TTRPG #DND #DNDoutofcontext

I'm looking for advice. I'm working on some of the narrative segments in my game. I didn't offer textual descriptions of things, because you can see them on screen. But adding a literary type description is fun, I'm just not sure it provides much value. Do you like a text description as well?

I have many very important things I wish I learned sooner in my life, but one of the silly trivial things I wished I learned sooner is HUMMUS IS SO GOOD.

SHAW! #Halloween #Silksong

Absolutely horrifying.

Many years ago I found this taped to a telephone pole and I still think about it like once a month.

My heart aches for how incredible this first episode was. Also my first time getting to watch a main campaign live. I'm going to be looking forward to this every week.

I'm a solo dev, but that doesn't mean I don't have help. It just means that anyone else could be replaced, but if something were to happen to me, the project ends. You can replace a director, but not a solo dev. Credits are for anyone who helped in any way, including just with motivation.

There's another gamedev in this coffee shop, and he too has the "What?!" Lean Forward, and the "How Is This Possible?" Face in Hands, and the "That Should've Fixed It" Sigh of Benign Agony.

It's shameless plug time, I'm actually starting to sell some art? WHAT?? Happy Silksong everyone, $5 for 5 emotes for Discord or Twitch! (That's a dollar per emote!) ko-fi.com/s/31917d8895 #emote #promosky #promo #art #digitalart
