Please show up for us! Please help a queer family! Idk how else to put it or what else to say. I’m not asking for money. I’m asking for help with finding a new home for my son so he can live the life he deserves as a young trans person πŸ’•βœ¨

It be the people you're not thinking about the most who will consider themselves an important factor in your life. And vice versa. Better to be focusing on living your own life. When I finally stopped worrying about ppl who aint worried about me I have more time to worry about my own self.

Be careful out there. Right now there are people who will sell themselves as allies while dividing communities and segregating you from safe spaces. True allies don't want to single you out, but rather strengthen the bonds that include you as one of their own. Stay aware. πŸ’―

I wish there was a jam or game fest that was romance and interpersonal focused that was unsegregated and inclusive of multigendered culture and identities as well as the audiences that enjoy them. Something that said, hey, you're all welcome and beautiful... OH WAIT😱- THE AMARE FESTIVAL EXISTS! ❣️

I'm ready to come for the bones of people who wanna comment on what they read without using comprehension. 😑

At this point, anyone who pops up saying they've played otome for decades and wishes there was POC rep in otome games has officially confessed to never playing indies.

Sooo my misinterpreting my landlord. Apparently they wanted to speak to me today because I Overpaid them. Sheesh. I maybe really do need to take a break. Sorry for anyone who I worried yesterday. πŸ™πŸ˜”

From a FB post. Hey California friends…my friend’s dog sanctuary in Topanga has burned to the ground. 30 dogs looking for fosters ASAP. Please contact me if you can help, even help for a temporary basis it would do so much . Please call or text me on 248 520 0054

I've been avoiding it but I need help. Just getting caught up after being sick and I'm a bit behind on my rent. I will be served a five day notice in the morning and I just don't have the last $350 til next payday. If you can, please please help and if not please, share. πŸ™β£οΈ ko-fi.com/alwaysjmb

Media literacy: A superpower or a dying art?

Does your game offer players something that no other game can? If so, what is it?

Ppl must have forgotten how Disney pulled the Ellen sitcom when she announced she was gay. And it was a top grossing show at the time. I didn't forget.

Today is my birthday! I turned 37! My baby made me a cake that I get to eat later! You can donate to me at my kofi link so I can buy skins in Outlast Trials because I am a big kid! ko-fi.com/dundundun

If I had a dollar for every time I see non poc writing racially insensitive poc I'd be able to start a fully funded midsized studio.

It's so important to engage when you can with what lifts you up. It's not like we can avoid negativity in the world- that's always been easy to engage with. But memories that help get you through the hard days are most definitely positive ones.

Is it even a metroidvania if it does not have a lift? #pixelart #metroidvania #indiegame #indiedev

This looks so cool! πŸ‘€βœ¨β£οΈ

Witch and cloak

Funko pops... never again πŸ₯΄ We're back if you haven't noticed!

ICYMI I had to launch the Candied Hearts Ko-Fi campaign earlier than intended. All the funds raised will be going towards paying the team for their work. Any bit helps, so if you're in a position to do so, please consider donating. πŸ™πŸΌ

Trying to crowdfund a show with a majority Black cast has been more challenging than I expected, ngl. Sometimes I can't help but wonder if we’d have reached our goal faster if there were different faces on the poster. πŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™€οΈ We have 11 DAYS LEFT! 42% funded! Let’s do thisssss kck.st/4eu9Lj4

Love the things you do and do the things you love. πŸ’—

Due to some unexpected curveballs from life (we love those), I've decided to launch the Ko-Fi campaign to help fund Candied Hearts development costs now! All funds goes towards paying the team, I will not see a cent of it. ko-fi.com/husbandogodd...

πŸ’– ANNOUNCEMENT πŸ’– Extremely excited to announce I have been selected as a Founder of the Vtuber Creator Club on Twitch! Words cannot express how honored I am to be invited amongst other amazing creators who made an impact in this space. Looking forward to meeting everyone. πŸ’™ πŸ‰

One of the reasons that in developmental/educational psychology we push the primacy of metacognition (thinking about thinking) is that humans are actually built to correct their own ignorance. We have whole bio-psychological feedback loops for it. The problem is having the awareness to trigger them.

I decided game jam culture is not for me. As a solo dev and as a slow bake creative, and definitely as someone who will make commercial works. One jam a year I might consider. But I don't have time to be stuck chasing the endless carousel of jams just for the sake of jams. I'll buy the postcard.

My (game) writing tip o' the day is You gotta learn to love your own writing. No iffybuts. No doubtysads. Loved writing reads so much nicer Plus. by loving your own writing, you'll be able to spot issues in your writing. After all, the first editor is you Your work deserves love, whatever stage

Hello hello, somehow this happened while I wasn't looking?? And it's an awesome excuse to do an art raffle πŸ‘€ πŸ’› Like/repost πŸ’› Follow me if you haven't πŸ’› Comment below with the oc/character you'd like me to art for you I'll randomise a winner next Friday ❀️ Hope you have a lovely weekend!

Working hard to get my health back to normal. The last few weeks have just been very bleh. No worries, I'm still doing what I can when I can. πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—

KICKSTARTER IS LIVE! Your new favorite sitcom is coming: β€˜THE COMIC SHOP’! The nerds are running things. 😈 A quirky crew of friends strive to keep their comic store open by ANY RIDICULOUS means necessary!

Procrastinating on my dialogue system, so I added in pets πŸ₯° #indiegame #gamedev

In my dark cozy game where you return to an abandoned game project the gameplay focuses on interacting with the world and NPCs- choosing to help them rebuild or cause chaos TOGETHER!! Recently, I implemented NPC to NPC conversations, and I've been testing their reactions by starting small fires! πŸ”₯

Hii I'm SpaceCat!! I'm new here and I wanted to see what #artshare is like on the funny butterfly app πŸ‘€ I'm so excited to join BlueSky!! I would love to see the kind of artists we got on here, so folks, drop your art down below so I can follow you!! #artmoots #art #digitalart #illustration

Making games is tough, especially when subverting a genre. Treachery in Beatdown City often gets misunderstood. It's not a straight brawler, with hybrid turn based/real time combat, but it feels like a fight. Shoutout to @spacetwinks.bsky.social for this article uppercutcrit.com/dissecting-t...

If you want to get you (or a friend) a game where you fight gentrifiers, posers, fascist cops, ninjas, politicians and more - Treachery in @beatdown.city is still on sale NOW through Dec. 4th! store.steampowered.com/app/762180/T...

New concept sketches for Limentinus/Limentina (same character), project link in next post. Someone looked at too many fayum mummy portraits of Egyptians in Roman era and got inspired to draw depressing art. 😰 I wrote 'a bit' of text in picture alt text again. 🫣 [1]
