This entire series is *spectacular*. It's *amazing*. And speaking as someone who knew the man, the myth, the legend, Stan Lee myself? He'd *love* Petra.

"What was your biggest impact on the internet?" So far, it's this post. She's not feeling super well right now; she got a tummy bug. Send good vibes.

Tim Sweeney can eat an entire bag of dicks. We also spent lots of money making innovative games that haven't sold well, but at least we made something original, not a PUBG rip-off that's soiled the very concept of a crossover. You won't *ever* see WTI content in their slop farms. That's a promise.

If I could go back in time and give #gamedev advice to myself, it would be this: don't skip the basics. I know making a Pong or Pac-Man clone isn't as fun as making your dream game. Do it anyway. If you want to learn, learn the basics first. Then tweak it. Make it your own and learn as you go.

If it takes you MONTHS to prototype something without AI, then you don't understand the fundamentals well enough in the first place anyway. Skipping steps in the learning process is a bad plan. If it's your first time woodworking, you don't immediately ask for a power sander and a table saw.

Seriously: one of the most talented people I've ever been fortunate enough to work with.

Don't Rethink Missing a Fantastic Sound Later, Tiny Dodo! Or whatever. Maybe help write a jingle, huh?

What do I do in my off time? Work on *other* games, obv. I'm currently pondering Arcanaform Arena, a TT ECG that's basically Pokémon × Advance Wars × Magic. Here are the first two Sovereigns (COs): Baldric Bladesworn and Ignis the Flame Lord! Still very early in development. Testing soon...

Let the enshitification begin/continue.

To this day, I still love stargazing and I did my best to simplify using a telescope while still keeping it fun and interesting. The spyglass is your primary method of choosing a destination among the stars in Starways: Heart of the Cosmos. #indiedev #indiegame #ganedev

All of her interactions and behaviors will be based on Pixel.

In my off time when I'm not making a video game, what do I do? Mostly make other video games or make things *in* other video games. I might like video games.

Weren't able to make it to today's Livestream? No problem! The VOD is now live! And don't worry, we'll be doing lots more. This was more of a test run. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy3n...

Come join me so I'm not all by my lonesome. #indiedev #indiegame #cozygame

I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

Seriously, this show is so cute.

I live across the street from a fire station and you'd be surprised how many times they honk their horns at cars blocking their driveway and people *honk back*.

And it's not even close. My perfect chaos gremlin.

THAT'S MY SPECIAL BOY! Bob is available as a playable skin in Green Guy Goes Grappling, coming soon to Steam!

Boo.

Well good FUCKIN' NEWS, THEN!

Taking a mandatory day off from game dev today because things are going to get nuts tomorrow. Starways is the first time I've developed something equally story and mechanics-based and I hit a major milestone this week. Next week I start writing Chapter 1...

Got a ton done today and I'm tired of bad news. I took an edible and I'll be playing No Man's Sky with the lights off while watching Kurzgesagt videos about space with my dog in my lap.

The Our Journey Continues expedition is not only fascinating, but also reminds me how far the game has come. Thank you, @nomansbsky.bsky.social for ten years of this incredible game. Now I have a *very* specific request: is there ANY chance we can get official HOTAS support? I'm *that* nerd.

Trying to explain the concept of "cost of living" to a billionaire is like trying to explain the concept of "leftovers" to Richard Watterson. The difference is that I'd rather spend any amount of time with Richard than ten seconds with Elon Musk.

Saw an article about a possible official multi-regional Pokémon MMO being in development and my first thought was

That's right. I love my dog so much, I'm immortalizing her personality and behaviors in a video game so that *everyone* can love her as much as I do.

Triscuits: fulfilling the primal urge to eat wicker since 1900

Republicans at this point.

Down in front. #dogs

I’m proudly Jewish. I’m Ashkenazi on my dad’s side and Sephardic on my mom’s. I was fed all the pro-Israel propaganda in Hebrew School. That said? Netanyahu is a war criminal. His government isn't interested in peace. Free Palestine. Israeli security and Palestinian self-determination. Now.

Scintillating, I know. Deep breaths, everyone.

Metroid Ravenous, new 3D Kirby, all that looks great. NO MAN'S SKY COSMOS IS TODAY'S BIG NEWS. I have to try to get some work done today, but this evening I will absolutely be breaking out my HOTAS to explore the galaxy once more.

I've been working on the interact dialogue today and testing word wrapping and character length. Can you tell?

You should date an indie game dev, because nobody understands commitment like indie game devs. We regularly commit to projects that take half a decade or longer, out of nothing but passion and faith.
