important switch 2 journalism 🎞️

2 years later, my faeries are making a comeback! #PixelArt #EmberHearts

Most important test, Chico and the Magic Orchards runs great on Switch 2! (And the colorful pixels pop on the new screen!)

once again I must tap my own sign

Good News Everyone! The Under the Island Steam demo drops tomorrow - and it'll be part of Steam Next Fest next week! I've spent years making this weird little adventure, and I truly hope you have fun with it! Link in the comments 👇

I finally made a new trailer for Chico's Rebound, and revamped the Steam page. Now it's a much better representation of what the game is like. Check it out! Sound on for some nice chiptunes too #indiegames #gamedev #chicosrebound #indiedev

trans kids are not “a wedge issue” they are children jfc

btw don't worry about doing good writing or whatever in this email. if your message is like "thanks I love you're pride display it makes me feel so happy to see it": fantastic. fucking marvelous my man. that's golden

QA is a fun process where i pay my friend to purposely break my game and create more work for myself 😅🐛 #gamedev

undo support.. (lots of boring behind the scenes stuff I have to do before I can get to doing cool stuff lol)

I know y'all like gameplay videos but I kinda like how this animation turned out

happy gay everyone 🌸☀️🌊

CHAT ARE WE HYPE??? it feels surreal seeing my own game here. i never thought id make it to the switch, or any official nintendo platform, for that matter from making mario fangames to launching a full game here, with NO publisher. insane thank you all for supporting me on this journey 🥹

done!

In Zelda 2, there is a side-quest to rescue a child lost in a cave. I think Link might be pretty well-known in Hyrule at this point (6 years after Zelda 1). So I imagined the boy might have figured out who Link is and bombarded him with questions on the journey home. (drawn in 2021) #zelda #art

happy 38th anniversary to Zelda II: The Adventure of Link! This may or may not be my favourite Zelda game of all time 🫣 Here is some fanart I've made in the past.

Also I've been doing this whenever I habitually reach for my phone (instead of doomscrolling). It's pretty fun!
