The Knight - one of five Princesses for an upcoming project we decided on the concept ages ago but definitely inspired by my partner and I playing Sovereign Tower together recently

For my BFA thesis, I started making a new game! What a Lovely Island is a map-drawing game about a living island during the last summer of its life & the lonely characters visiting it. My degree is illustration, so the work was focused on art and visual design.

NEW FOR SOLO SEPT: Ruin in Bloom by @pewterbee.bsky.social ⛲️ A quick surreal multiplayer storytelling game. Time passes in a garden – what do the statues witness? A twist: the longer you exist, the more the garden grows. The more the garden grows, the more you crumble – and the less you can say

Welcome TWO titles from @pewterbee.bsky.social - Out for Delivery, a solo storytelling animalfolk mail delivery RPG, become the carrier for the residents of the Penpoint Isles Ruin in Bloom, a poetic multiplayer RPG in which statues discuss their garden observations, saying less as they crumble

My game, Out for Delivery, got a new cover! It's been a little over a year since it came out, and I really wanted to give it another pass post-graduation (which also let me change the formatting so it's much easier to read now!)

This quote... What people want to replace you with is what they think you already are. If companies, bosses, and boyfriends want to replace you with a robot or an AI model, that’s because they already see you and what you do as simply the workings of a machine with far too many bugs.

Today is my birthday, which means the sale ends today I'd love it if you bought a game, but if not please consider donating towards mutual aid this weekend. I'm deeply worried about my own community in Portland, and we've all gotta look out for each other 💕

"but art should be accessible" it is, you can learn to draw, paint, collage, sculpt, make pixels. right now, starting today. art has never been more accessible monetarily nor physically than it is now in this age. access to artist labor and machine production is not an accessibility issue.

Ending with a fun comparison: the first "finished" fanart I did vs. the most recent. I was 16 and not even on Twitter for the first. Now I'm nearly 23, living with my partner I met through f@tt, and in the last year of my bfa program.
