I make games at spiderlilystudios.itch.io and I write tutorials for GameMaker, but more importantly I love my cat Tilly. Retrace, Schrodinger's Catgirl, Cabernet. 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈 ♿️ he/him

at the tail end of my time with blue prince (trophy runs notwithstanding), and a certain (para)phrase keeps coming to my mind: "you can enjoy a story twice: when it's alive, watching it struggle; when it's dead, tearing out its guts." i feel like i'm tearing out this game's guts. it is satisfying.

it's like, i get the instinct to say "aha, so you think passing trans men should use women's spaces?" but a) they don't care if their positions are contradictory and b) no, they want us either dead, detransitioned, or kept out of public life until one of the former happens. man, i'm tired.

hello! i'm less than $9.5K dollars from meeting my goal ($19.6K) for top surgery which means I'm just over halfway there!! any donations and sharing of the campaign helps a lot!! thank you!!

for my birthday the UK supreme court got me a fucking horrible transphobic court decision. i would like it if instead for my birthday you donated your time or money to a trans charity, or supporting trans people directly. that would make me happy.

Seeing terfs drinking champagne is too much. I wana burn every inch of this fascist, murderous country down They're starving your kids, taking your healthcare and bombing hospitals and all you have to show for it is taking away a tiny percentage's rights. Where is everyone's fucking ANGER?!

65 hours into blue prince i just learned how to sprint please end me

This is a big deal. A lot of games have colourblind options that are just filters and don't work as intended. This new testing tool allows you to simulate properly in real-time, and highlight where you might be missing areas early enough to potentially fix these issues before it's too late.

You also have to message me and tell me who your favourite character is. It's important.

I was thinking about this Joe and Tracy anecdote from the supply chain crisis on gummy bears. Things are probably going to get really weird in a few weeks in unexpected ways:

Also: I put up my Capstone Submission on itch dot io in case anyone wants to see what I made. It's a silly little thing that I hope to expand upon in the future maybe, once I've had a bit of a break! sahil-bajaj.itch.io/in-the-hall-...

game development

Officially trying to build a studio for a publisher pitch. To that end, I'm looking for game devs who've been victims of layoffs or studio closures who'd be interested in signing on if it's greenlit and funding is secured. More info in the thread to follow, but here's the initial list:

Hi Everybody, Today, I made the decision to resign from the studio I was working with these last few months, which means I am looking for work again! I am looking for remote Narrative Design and Game Writing work primarily but can consult as well. Here are some of the games I've worked on:

Big ‘custom character in a cutscene’ energy from this:

It's #PortfolioDay again and I'm still looking for remote work! 🔸️ Award-winning game dev, writer, and narrative designer 🔸️ Over 30 games released 🔸️ Creator of the Twine Grimoire, a series of educational interactive fiction resources 🪄 gcbaccaris.itch.io 👁 gcbaccaris.com 🦷 linktr.ee/grimdev

i don't think id ever get trampled in a crowd setting . when im surrounded by thousands of panicked men and women i tend to play it smart

Random nerdy fun food thing: if you're in a CSA (community supporter agriculture) group, and get a bag of random veg? Bunch of weird root veg? Chop it into little cubes, toss it in a mix of soy, teriyaki and bbq, pile it in a pan a few inches deep, throw it in oven for half hour, toss occasionally.

If it is at all possible for you, i cannot more strongly recommend having friends over for dinner. Doesn't need to be a fancy dinner party. Just, physically hang out with people you like for a few hours. It rules. Community!!!!!

It's not manufacturing jobs you want, it's a stable job with a middle-class wage, retirement, affordable health insurance, and worker protections that you want. Which isn't naturally tied to factory jobs, but it is naturally tied to union organizing.

Anyone got a decent management contact at Big Fish Games? They've been messing me around since December by setting my Withholding rate to 30% instead of 0% and despite having all the correct forms and me chasing them still haven't resolved it. They've withheld nearly $4000 now which is unacceptable.

it's no longer TDOV but a video* i was watching made me suddenly feel like posting a picture of me being cool and handsome and happy. so, so happy. day 510. *https://youtu.be/r7tbDs5rlYo?si=yxI-NAWGEpMJ2Fxb, it's good

I'm not sure what this is, but hot damn it's a good expression of my inner monologue

italians are about to invent a form of corruption so lucrative it will destroy the global economy

Schwarzenegger winning seemed like the most embarrassing thing that would ever happen in politics at the time and now he’s to the left of every elected Republican and a few Democrats and just makes videos going “young men, my fadda was a Nazi and he was a contemptible loosah”

holy shit i think i got my pathfinding algo working

Three minutes. I think that's a blep record.

I don't really care about racing games, but after hearing Sakurai talk about Air Ride on his Youtube channel, I'm happy he gets to make a sequel to it. It sounded like he really loved making it. ...And he deserves a break from the Smash mines.
