LONG GONE [Updated wishlist Teaser] - wishlist on steam now! Follow me on Twitch.tv/HillfortGames to keep up with development. #gamedev #longgonegame #indiegame #zombie #videogame #pixelart #trailer #teaser #steam

Great reason to add some new hidden patches 🎉🎉🎉 #CRUST #gamedev #indie

In 2016, in an immigration tribunal, I was branded a terrorist and national security risk *because of the colour of my skin.* Make no mistake. ANYONE who peddles the narrative of "but immigration causes crime" is a RACIST. No ifs, no buts.

oh hey it's NITW's 8th anniversary for all who celebrate

We've been quiet while working on our first hub area this past month, but you can read all about the VRmin types we are adding this year in the new instalment of the blog. www.patreon.com/posts/sydney...

The other big problem with using generative AI to help you write is that it makes you a huge fuckin loser

I'm extremely serious when I say that if I find out your game has had *any* amount of generative AI involved in its development, I will not only boycott it but be EXTREMELY sure to tell my stream audience to do so as well.

Some shots I liked from this evening 📸 #CRUST #gamedev #indie

Probably one of the most pound for pound profitable teams in gaming today. Nobody is safe from corporate ownership. Absolutely sickening. Eat the rich.

10 DEAD DOVES is 20% off until February 24!! We just added Japanese and Korean localization, new fixes and content... NOW'S THE TIME TO HIKE IT UP #horrorgames #indiehorror #psx #indiegames

Hey! Turns out we've been nominated for 4 awards at the Pégases this year! To celebrate, here's a thread about some of the INCREDIBLE people who worked on this game! Don’t hesitate to share their profile, they might be looking for new projects :) 🧵

NPCs can now have branching dialogue and can trigger menus relating to that NPC, like shop keepers or patch placers! 🐂 #CRUST #gamedev #indie

I need game devs and gamers alike to understand that procedural generation is not genAI.

Added first NPC model and some simple dialogue, so fun to see another character around! 🐂 #CRUST #gamedev #indie

Some more bus stop work, and gave the dialogue boxes some more love! 💬💬 #CRUST #gamedev #indie

Been told I'm an 8-9 until I open my mouth, and walking home at midnight at least two groups of strangers on different occasions have told me they thought I'd mug them, haha. 🙈

Seeing more and more games on Steam have their AI generation disclosures like “don’t worry it’s just backgrounds, voices…and so on”. If you can’t be bothered to make it, why should I be bothered to play it? Or write about it?

Check out the atmosphere of the new motel location in Becrowned, the survival horror game I’m working on! #trailertuesday

Hayao Miyazaki with the fatality

To commemorate the release of the Goliath Office demo, we made a special sticker for everyone who supports us at the Dream Eater tier. Play the demo and get the sticker now by supporting us at Patreon.com/SamuraiUnicorn

Some work on the bus stop, which will be the first location you see, and first super early dialogue boxes! 💬 #CRUST #gamedev #indie

Unpopular opinion: you should care for our rights because we are people, not because we’re the first step for them to attack your rights.

Absolutely not "becoming harder to resist", and resist what exactly, having soulless slop? I do art because I think it's fun, I enjoy the process or it's a chance for learning something new, if I need art I don't enjoy creating I'll pay another real artist to do it!

I stand with Edd.

Managed to get a bit of environment done at least, not bad for a weekend 🤠 #CRUST #gamedev #indie

And some nice photos taken in game! 📸 #CRUST #gamedev #indie

Got this nice footage of the current Patch placer as well, obviously not final UI, but it works pretty well! 🤘 #CRUST #gamedev #indie

redesign of the piece that has gotten me restricted/suspended at least 4 times 😇
