CK Lore of the Day: Gan Alcahaes was a masterful crafter of magical artifacts who outfitted his fellow heroes with many of their most iconic treasures. While Ys Aika's staff "Never" was crafted to her exacting specifications, the twin blades "Manich" and "Wunma" were a surprise gift to Thebaz Tolk.

I recently released Faulty Overdrive, a shoot 'em up where you constantly move upwards, but firing pushes you downwards, made in PICO-8 for Mini Jam 175. Play here: papermoon-so.itch.io/faulty-overd... #pico8 #gamedev #gamejam #indiedev

I wanna play more dnd. I've never played a campaign proper, only ever one-shots. Here's two of guys from some brief years-ago adventures: Ego "Boss Blue" Cannith, the Circle of Swarm druid (but his swarm is all tiny robots) and Leitmotif the warforged bard/barbarian blues musician.

Happy 5th anniversary to "Eizouken" anime series by Masaaki Yuasa & Science Saru studio (first aired on January 5, 2020) ♡

as an artist, there is a point where you must take a stand against the idea of "this is just what you have to do now to survive" and declare there are some lines you will not cross. because "what you have to do now" will always become more destructive and take more agency away from you if you don't.

In Moss, Quill interacts with a lot in her world, but we didn’t want to slow gameplay. Most of her actions are quick so you can keep moving. But when she encounters something new? She takes her time, acts it out, and lets you see her personality. Like this! 🐭✨ #Moss #GameDev #Animation

Hello, London!

My comfort zone: Tiny fantasy people, preferably with big backpacks.

(Since people are reposting their popular tweets here…) From my experience of drawing sound effects by hand, I realised that you can easily make font-based sound effects more exciting as well—by exercising intentionality and control. Here's some examples.

Art drawn by people who very rarely make art and think they are “bad at art” is 1000x cooler than AI art. It’s life-affirming. It’s often unexpected. I cannot overemphasize how much I love when people just go for it. You do not need the machine for this human endeavor.

In The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco, after hearing about a massive & deadly scapegoating, the narrator asks why the peasants didn't attack the landlords, their true enemies, & is told, "When your real enemies are too strong, you get weaker enemies," & every day I think about this & also see it

hrm, I can't seem to post a dang moving picture thing. Can I post a still image? Test test here's a thing from a while ago.

Oh I guess Bluesky has videos now and I didn’t even notice! Here’s my animation about eating my baby’s toes from a couple years back:

I'm bad at reposting art that I've posted before but I do still quite like this grumbul I drew in 2020 when my tablet's pen pressure was broken:

My brand:

Protagonist & cow, shaped by a custom vector graphics editor, rasterized to multichannel signed distance fields, rendered with a shader that makes them fade away into dinky outlines
