We had a blast at the Stunfest festival! Absolutely lovely event full of love for indies, for games and for basic humanity. I can't wait to go back to work on Knight George after meeting so many great people and seeing (testing for some) so many incredible games. I love indie games 💖

Bilan final : des super rencontres, des visiteurs adorables, une orga au top... Le @stunfest.3hitcombo.fr a été un vrai succès ! Ces trois jours ont aussi été nos trois jours avec le plus de wishlists Steam depuis le lancement de la page, ce qui est dingue ! Merci à tous pour ces beaux moments 💖

For my english followers: I am at Rennes this week-end in the east of France, to present Knight George during the @stunfest.3hitcombo.fr! Can't wait to meet all the lovely players and share the game with them!

Aujourd'hui est le premier jour du Stunfest à Rennes ! Notre stand est monté, début dans un peu moins de 3h. Plein de jeux indés sympa dans le coin, ça va être une très bonne expérience ! Et si vous ne pouvez pas vous déplacer, la démo est toujours là : store.steampowered.com/app/4305040/...

#Devtober Day 14 I wasn't thrilled with the original avoid-drowning animation sequence. This updated one has a slow-mo flailing bounce at first, then a run-in-place windup animation, then high-speed motion lines that move towards safety, and finally a brief panting animation. #MayGame

BIG AL portrait. Based on and inspired by Brian Engh's allosaurus jimmadseni reconstruction. I love that sculpture so much! #allosaurus #paleoart #art #dinosaurart

Okay, it's #SteamNextFest and there's a lot of demos out there, so here's a quick thread of suggestions to try out, a lot of these I might not have played, they're just what's tickling my fancy. Let's start with Queen's Domain which is releasing on the 30th!

I took my time to explore parts of Dinoland by @byvsen.se 🦖 That's a lovely and fun experience right in your internet browser. You can make your own dinosaur and explore this open world of Dinoland which feels like a safe place on the internet. Check out it out on byvsen.se

Once last update for the light. The MC has a flexible grapple ability that allows them to pull enemies towards themselves, or alternatively pull themselves towards enemies. This should open up combat a little more and make the player feel overpowered under some circumstances. #devtober

Spent most of my day working on the lizard person AI and getting some game feel going. Screen shakes when taking damage (or dying!), rockets track moving enemies through their animations, and the player now has a proper death state. Combat is starting to feel pretty good! #devtober

I've started making my first rooms for my jam entry! Although I'm keeping the rooms as simple as possible, I've put a bit more effort into the title card. Hopefully, it'll look great as thumbnail #pixelart #retro #adventure

there are a lot of freaks in gamedev, who when given an industry standard method will go "no thanks" and start climbing a mountain coding their own engine, sculpting it in clay, implementing ik from scratch, embroidering sprites, etc. there's value in these journeys and games are better for them

I thought this was a joke at first but it looks to be real and man they really couldn't give less of a shit about anyone who still watches the MCU; they're so blatantly like yeah "yeah those fuckers will come watch it anyways who cares" 💀

Going through my old games reminded me to one day port the few jam games still stuck on ldjam in a pack on itch, I just need to take a bit of time to do it... I also have to upload an old Buzz Lightyear fangame that no one played which download link stopped working several years ago!

Hello #PortfolioDay 👋 I'm doing pixel art (amongst many other thing to be honest 😄) for the games I'm developing at @funkyrhinogames.bsky.social, and other fan or jam projects on the side. Here's a little snippet of what I've done over the last ten years! Check the games in the replies!
