Izzie Kirkpatrick

New platform, old art! Gonna do my best to actually be *social* on the media this time around 😅 So hi, I'm Izzie! Artist, game dev & UI designer based in Aotearoa. I like walking around and looking at things (+ drawing when I can). I'm also 1/3rd of @liquidstatic.bsky.social making cool things! 💖

A huge congrats to Liquid Static Studio on the release of Night Plane! It's Kiwi jank horror at it's finest!

Wow I wish there was a collection of games that are so fundamentally raw and unique that if you tried to run them through DLSS 5 your computer would explode OH HEY WOAH WHAT'S THIS COMPUTER WORLDS SHOWCASE DOING HERE www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og6_...

Humans are pretty sick tbh 🤙🏽

Bees 🐝

Preproduction isn't over until the game ships.

If you’re not yelling 🎬💥 CUT!! WHO LET THIS GUY ON SET?? Eyyy why you lookin at me like that WHATSTHEMATTA WITHYOUUU 📣‼️ while capturing trailer footage then you are not a true Game Director

It's been 6 months since I struck out on my own to be come a studio director and it's about time I did a talk about it! 🫖 Wellington devs: come see me ramble next Tuesday at 6pm! www.meetup.com/game-develop...

This was an awesome event - we had way more people than computers so we will definitely try run something like this again! Thanks so much to everyone that turned up ⭐️🟡🟧

I should update this image to say ""films"" but that's more effort than ol' Daro is worth (and more than he's willing to put into his own damn work, lmao)

I love working in games bc I learn something new every day 😊

AGAIN??!! Wat da helllll My birthday wish is for YOU to wishlist Night Plane (and maybe the captain will announce it over the intercom to everyone 🎙️🧑‍✈️🤩) 👉 store.steampowered.com/app/3310570/...

can't wait for people to play the upcoming indie game Toroa: Skycall

we fixed our girl with the power of BUCKET HAT 🪣🎩 a lil' romance option redesign for that game we're making called: 🔍 "ShelfLife: Art School Detective" 🔍 #datingsim #lgbt #indiegamedev #indiegame #gamedev #indiegames

Maybe he’s born with it 💅

Most airlines limit carry-on luggage so it "can't impair emergency disembarkation". Plane Airlines™ continues to put our customers first, with our policy: "If you managed to bring it on, surely you can take it off!" store.steampowered.com/app/3310570/... #indiegame #game #airplane #horrorgame

so true bestie

I’ve just been told you can actually do this now?? And I didn’t know because I’m still using my iPhone 8 🫠 when she explodes is it gonna feel like teleporting into the future? What else am I totally unwary of that you all take for granted? And how many years behind the curve is my UX instinct?

The new Katamari game is SO GOOD 😭💗 you can CUSTOMISE the cousins COLOURS. There’s an ONLINE MULTIPLAYER MODE. We were WAVING AT EACH OTHER IN THE LOBBY and then I got ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED (but not before rolling one of my opponents up) 🌈🪅✨

It's already an exciting week in the regional game industry but we couldn't resist making it more exciting. 🥝🕹️🎮 www.nz-code.nz/post/960-000...

Slightly embarrassed to admit that I am well and truly in the throes of a “novelty supermarket products” phase. Funny flavours abound and I am acting under the influence of no one but myself (and a ton of work stress). Turns out who I am when I am not my best self is a Grape Powerade fan

Pyaari is so decent 🥺

I'm ashamed to be a New Zealander today, it's embarrassing to be on the wrong side of history :( https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/574427/kiwis-can-be-proud-nz-isn-t-recognising-palestine-yet-pm-christopher-luxon #nzpol

The best time to post this was about 96 hours ago. The second best time is… now? (Probably not, but I’m too late to change that as well lmao) For real tho - HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who came by and said hi and played the game and listened to my dumb joke about my NORMAL SIZED HAT 🧑‍✈️🫶

i wish i could throw my body in the washing machine

Obvi it’s a big F.U. to sp*tify since aaaages ago, but sometimes I’m reminded just how dogshit their app/UX/general usability is. Like - wdym you CAN’T send a song to a friend directly in-app? I have to go into a menu, then a submenu, copy a link, open a COMPLETELY SEPARATE APP and send it there????

Best thing I did today was eat a really good sandwich for lunch. Second best thing was recording this blood curdling scream for Night Plane

Join us and our comrades @ponekeantifa.bsky.social, International Socialist Organisation Aotearoa, @peacewellington.bsky.social and Te Tai Tētēkura on Saturday 6 September at Midland Park from 1PM as we march in opposition to the new FBI base and US troops here. www.facebook.com/events/65778...

🍿Tonight’s entertainment on Plane Airlines™ is a thriller movie so iconic, you’ll know it before the seatbelt sign turns off. First to guess gets an in-flight upgrade. 📈 #indiegame #indie #horrormovies #horrorgame #gamedev #gaming

“Between 2009 and 2012, iPhones had a built-in "Send to YouTube" button in the Photos app. Many of these uploads kept their default IMG_XXXX filenames, creating a time capsule of raw, unedited moments from random lives.” walzr.com/IMG_0001 this is beautiful 🥲
