It's only been 3 days since we released this adventure on #NintendoSwitch, but we are incredibly grateful for all your support! 🙇 Every game we publish is very special, but some are misunderstood. It makes us so happy when you enjoy them as much as we do. 🙌 Thank you so much! 🌟🐰🥕

Can we talk about that Gameboy + Lego reveal? 👀 #gameboy #lego

I will be releasing a new #gameboy game in a few hours. A short platformer. I tried to improve my #gamedev skills to make the best #pixelart for this game. Made in #gbstudio. The game will be available for the #Analoguepocket too. #indiegame #gbdev

I try not to comment too much on games I did commissions for, it feels too self promote-y, I just retweet or say “did some music on this game”, but… this is a game you need to play. It’s the kind of game people will be finding new tricks and speed running 5 years from now.

my book has begun getting some kind words on the internet about it :'D #kidslit

We're getting ready to do another games anthology. If you're a local game dev in Michigan and interested in making a tiny game, come join our discord.

Marron's Day: Save the town festival in Marron's Day, a silly pocket-sized adventure where you're a bunny! For Game Boy and PC. npckc.itch.io/marrons-day?...

Wink has a Steam page! Wishlisting it would help me out because it tells Steam people are interested in the game! #steam #indiegames #nintendo #gameboy store.steampowered.com/app/2263230/...

Pack 3 is out now! draklord123.itch.io/petcraft-pac... I have also decided to add a preview of all the sprites in the pack and updated the old ones to have them (I genuinely forgot to do that, even got the png prepared and all) #Pixelart #Vpet #assetpack

Want to develop a game but don't want to make the whole dang thing yourself? Can I interest you in being a part of an anthology? We already did one last year and this one will be even better! Several small games based on a theme that is yet to be decided! You can help vote for that too!

I added a small update to my #gbstudio music player tool so that it is even easier too create a custom art area above the player. See more below :D #chiptune howdyriceball.itch.io/gb-studio-mu...

Here is clay Fetchy in all his glory. It’s been years since I released that demo 😖 🫶 #gamedev #indiedev #gbstudio

Out now! Gameboy LoFi Volume II on all major streaming services as well as this new 1 hour of gameboy chiptune lofi tracks to listen to while you work or study. www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8vN... #lofi #chillhop #lofigirl #chiptune #studybeats #cozy #studymusic #gameboy #gbstudio #gbdk #gbdev

I've been doing this thing where I only spend 15 minutes or less a day on social media and my productivity has shot through the roof and my mindset has become brighter lol anyways hope you enjoy this #gbcamera picture of a clay Fetchy my wife made back in 2020 :D I'll see you all tomorrow 👋

Howdy! I made a #gbstudio project file to help #chiptune artists or #gamedevs to have a music player in their gb studio game or cartridge album :D Please check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE_x... howdyriceball.itch.io/gb-studio-mu...

my gameboy game "a cat & his boy" is on sale on itch, switch & steam! If you haven't played it now is best chance! #indiegame #indiedev #1bit #pixelart itch.io/s/142662/win...
