Game Maker's Toolkit on youtube did something off-brand for him and just released a nice and a bit depressing video, pouring one out for Monolith Games, which WB just shuttered along with two whole other studios. [11m]

A spooky good day to you all.

I deleted my post about Stasis 2 having AI generated art and flavor text. I learned that the dev is publicly against using this technology so I assume I was wrong.

Yesterday we had to say goodbye to this handsome little guy after 17 years. He was everything you would expect from an orange cat and more, but he was also a great friend and loving member of our little family. Farewell, Blauet. We love you and we'll miss you ♥️

Our face when we need to postpone our game's release date😑 #NewBlood #Thesupper #indiegame #gamedev #release #zombiemood

Tea is a really nice drink!! We should explore to see if there's other tasty foods inspired by letters of the alphabet. Not P, but others

working on this stone tileset more. i like it, especially in blue or the lower left blue-grey palette, lower left. the third tile (shadowed left end) isn't quite done, but i like the toothed crevice along the seam.

"Kill your darlings". A scenario we cut from The Supper: New Blood. A painful but necessary process!😔 #NewBlood #pixelart #indiegame #gamedev #Killyourdarlings

Wishing everyone a pleasant Sex Halloween.

Love♥️ #loveislove #pixelart

Thank you @hulanoob.bsky.social for playing The Supper: New Blood Demo and for the nice comments! ❤️ youtu.be/6g0dsbdPwIQ?...

If you love pixel adventure games with a horror twist, you might already know Midnight Scenes from @whiteblanketgames.bsky.social. Their new game demo looks fantastic, fun, bonkers and very bloody! Wishlist now (and check out their other games): store.steampowered.com/app/3032010/...

"Kill your darlings". Another scenario we cut from The Supper: New Blood😔 #NewBlood #pixelart #indiegame #gamedev #Killyourdarlings

True and this drives me nuts. What’s the point of a medium where “your choices matter” if you simultaneously want to “not miss anything”. Those are literally contradictory positions

The Supper: New Blood DEMO is available now on itch.io! Are you ready to sink your teeth?🩸🔪 💾 octavinavarro.itch.io/the-supper-n... #NewBlood #TheSupper #Demo #Itchio #indiedev #gamedev

There is a lot of noise about game development but it comes down to one thing. Make something that resonates with players. Your only concern is to entertain people and create indelible memories. Never forget that when you're in the weeds. #gamedev #indiegames #gamedeveloper

Two years ago today we released Midnight Scenes: From the Woods, the fourth game in the series! 😱 Happy birthday, Elijah and Oliver! 🎉🍰 #FromtheWoods #MidnightScenes #indiegame #gamedev #Happybirthday

What do you think of the upgrade we made to the Midnight Scenes 2 cover art?👽 #Episode2 #MidnightScenes #horror #ufo #indiegame #gamedev

In gamedev, we joke about how we shouldn't care so much because "we ain't curing cancer" so chill, right? But you know what? These last few weeks reminded me that the Arts, esp accessible Art like videogames is incredibly important because games have a big place in sculpting cultural norms.

Oops! NSFW😮 #TheSupper #screenshot #piratevibes #indiegame

Our Midnight Scenes games do especially well in Asian countries. The difference in population counts of course, but I wonder if there's something else that makes these little narrative horror games click with them.

I hate to respond to this foolishness with sense rather than the mockery it richly deserves, but to say this in the wake of BG3’s monumental success is particularly egregious

I'm sad to read that Sandra Powers, co-creator of Project Gorgon, the most peculiar MMORPG I've ever played, passed away. If you like this kind of game, you should give it a try. It's really special <3

Comparto espacio con uno de mis artistas de píxel art favoritos, el gran @octavinavarro.bsky.social, hablando precisamente de eso píxel art. Dadle amor a @metadatacat.bsky.social 😊

The new game by Blasphemous' devs The Game Kitchen looks so good! And it's only a few hours until release! Instabuy.

En comptes d'una pinzellada, un píxel. Aquesta és la base del 'pixel art', una estètica nascuda del món del videojoc que comença a volar fora del niu @octavinavarro.bsky.social @rutxigarcia.bsky.social
