The Excavation of Hob's Barrow is a spooktacular all-time high 65% off in the Steam Scream sale! 🎃 Spooky season is the perfect time to check out our acclaimed folk horror adventure set on the moors of Northern England. The answers lie in the soil...

To speed up the 2028 lunar landing, NASA is changing the plan! Artemis landers and Orion will no longer rendezvous in a near-rectilinear halo orbit—they'll instead meet in orbits tailored to each partner's specific systems. 🚀🌙 #Artemis #NASA

Listening to a report about Google chopping down a quarter of a million trees in Finland to build a data centre while washing out yoghurt pots for the recycling

Progress on my Famicom game. Graphics by @ahtamaraneze on Twitter ☺️ (My first NES game, no AI involved!) I spent two weeks studying MOTHER 1's scrolling system and finally managed to implement it in my engine... 😭 Also no original music yet, so listen to my favourite MOTHER song :')

Been working on my game's landing page for a while. Hand pixeling everything takes time but its coming together! #pixelart #godot4 #indiegamedev

Been working on the daily schedule for the titular "horror". It will move on the map following its timetable. Whenever you skip time, its schedule is also updated. It is possible to run into it by accident, not just in some scripted, fixed thing. Fun stuff!

#screenshotsaturday Got this forest tech demo thing moving in #Picotron. Needs 30fps to stay looking nice, but so far I've managed to procgen all the art in lua so it'd still be a small enough cart for BBS. All my other WIP projects exceeds 256k cart limit 😅 #indiedev #gamedev #scapes #forest

Man, the current era of AI slop really got me to the point where I *rejoice* if I encounter even just a tiny bit of actual human effort.

I have multiple acquaintances who are incredulous that we're not using AI to code our game/DLC. Tbh, most of our time is thinking, tweaking and polishing anyway, not code. And when there is more code to be done, I get my son help with it, who gets paid, as a human. I'm fine with that.
