Going to get serious for a moment. I've been out of work for awhile, things have changed, and I could use a job. It's something of a hail mary, but if anyone might know where to hook me up for a writing gig I am all ears. Even if you don't, a signal boost would be greatly appreciated. 1/4

Spent a good amount of time looking for any public domain classical/historical art of a snake person with human upper body and serpent lower body. Wikimedia Commons is mocking me.

To be honest I don't really know how to do this whole public social media thing aside from updates to my work and random anecdotes but I guess I should try and do some engagement-creating content so anyway I think that you could convert the majority of things of Dwarf Fortress into crabs.

Well so far my mod release has been going well. This is my first foray into actual coding and I just want to say the people over in the kitfox discord have been a huge help. I have never done a coding language until Lua scripting was implemented for DF and I'm still slowly learning but it's cool.

Dropping a little teaser demo soon. Keep an eye on Keymailer (and inboxes) :) store.steampowered.com/app/3708790/...

Well, time to release the test version of my weirdest mod, Haemothearchy. I have a special fondness for it; I consider it my most "unique" work, for better or worse. It started on a whim and blew up from there, expanding into something much more than what I had intended and here we are. 1/8

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏 We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️ Find it here: store.steampowered.com/app/3167970/...

Well, this looks fascinating and horrible. Apparently it was already on my wishlist?

heads up @discord.com users. things are about to get exponentially more expensive, unreliable, and obsessive. If you use this frequently, make sure you have a Plan-B app your friends can move to quickly

Minds shatter in these halls of rust and concrete. How far will you go to bring back your friend?

REPOSE by @atis1.bsky.social launched last week! each step, each shot, each mistake costs precious energy in this black and white mystery. have you enjoyed your employment at [the company]?

New trailer for "Junk World" indie stop-motion feature by Takahide Hori. A prequel to "Junk Head", in Japanese theaters on June 13. >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=Npkm...

Happy Birthday Tarn, wishing you the best day ever! 🎂🎉 The Kitfox crew made a card with their artistic interpretation of "toady one" (and is that a preview of animal people clothing?!)

Amusing Dwarf Fortress feature. When you mess up the output of a crafting recipe to a material that doesn't exist, it makes magma. Its a really good way to inform the modder something went wrong, by way of setting the entire map on fire.

A random critter (WIP). Dwarf Fortress is an excellent game, but procuring resources is practically a solved problem by now (for now, until further updates throw off the balance). Anyway I thought, "what if you could only get metal by killing horrific biomechanical monsters" and then did that.

Good art and also good game store.steampowered.com/app/1768650/...

Officially announcing MEGANAUT! A 3rd person horror game where you float through a megastructure looking for your friend. And yes it takes place in the Lorn's Lure universe :) ✅🙏Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/3610500/... ✅Like and repost ✅Follow ✅etc... 🔴 💀 youtu.be/KfUpMZr649s?...

An actual on-topic post, here's a monster for my upcoming big mod overhaul, made possible with Lua scripting. Things like this lurk all across the wasteland, and are best avoided instead of contested. Fortunately you'll know when one is near. There's always a choice to leave it be. Well, usually.

House of the Rain King- This book is really really good. Cool world, fun characters, interesting mystery, a realistically imperfect society and people who are good, bad, but mostly both. A great mixture of the grounded and fantastical. It came out like just a month ago too, get it while it's fresh!

studying up on renaissance and late medieval clothing for a project. I really like the diversity of men's fashion of that period. These are obviously higher-end products but still.

A Monster - Emperor Tortoise Cruel carnivores. 800 lbs, but no natural attacks. Can cast *magic jar* to swap bodies with you. While piloting your body, they'll jump off a cliff or drown you. Then they switch back and eat your corpse. Cha negates. Plan B is hiding in their shell and screaming.

play more games people play *better* games play games outside your comfort zone play weird, little freak games

big fan of megastructures store.steampowered.com/app/3539440/...

Ooh, new trailer for Beta Decay. Madly ambitious open-world tactical shooter/stealth/immersive sim. With mechs. Think Metal Gear Solid 5 in space. And it's all by a solo dev. Early access on Steam sometime this year.

heyyyyy we're 610 reviews away from 10,000. what are you and 609 of your friends doing this afternoon?

I love this art in this and also it seemed really cool from the quickstart so check it out

As I bang my head against the wall that is learning to code for real I gotta say this whole thing is pretty nifty. I have always considered myself a writer with an unfortunate choice of medium (in the sense that most writers don't have to deal with CTDs) and have been pretty intimidated by it. 1/2
