Hello?! Woah!

State of the gaming industry. #gaming #videogames

Nostalgia Fueled is back with Another Crab's Treasure! Come Join Valace06 and I as we collect microplastics www.twitch.tv/okretrozone

The fatigue of finding some cool music or art online and then having to check if the individual uses AI is exhausting and some are more outright than othersā€¦ugh

This is probably the most accurate take.

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal

if you buy this full price you are never allowed to say an indie game is too expensive and to buy it on discount ever again

I think I just found my Roman Empireā€¦

Yall put this on your wishlist. Or I think a giant lobster holding those cushioned batons from American Gladiators bust through your wall and gets ya. Doooooo it (thank you in advance)

Last time we learned some spells and got sent to the heck dimension. Find out what will happen today as we continue Hand of Doom! www.twitch.tv/valace06

Oooof been under the weather all weekā€¦but we are bouncing back. Things are cooking. Iā€™m just moving a little slower than Iā€™d like at the moment.

i'm tired of being told to stop doomscrolling. i'm just scrolling, it's not my fault there's doom on there

What did I do this evening? Got my computer out to work on a marketing portfolio and ended up just watching a bunch of Will & Graceā€¦ Iā€™m not madā€¦but maybe depressed šŸ™ƒ

Layoffs are a failure of leadership. Period. Staffing changes and cuts should start from the top down, and ought to be prioritizing listening to the folks who actually make things over shareholders & executives who know fuck-all about making things but retain position despite culpability.

Anyone but in particularā€¦men in their 50s wearing nicely tailored suits with a backwards beret give me such a strong ick I literally canā€™t. What is this energy?

What is this passage of time?! I feel so behind on every project.

Yikes the doom scrolling is real.

When should #notGDC run this year? Reply to vote, because bsky doesn't have polls yet: 1. Same week as GDC, March 17-21 2. Week before GDC 3. Week after GDC 4. Other (comment)

Nostalgia Fueled is back with Hand of Doom! We are live over on www.twitch.tv/valace06 Join @cyberbathrobe.bsky.social and I as we play this wizard simulator. Val says "Get in nerds"!

I love listening to mixes on YouTube while I work and the amount of hot AI garbage people poop out now. Yeah Iā€™d love to listen to this dark fantasy vibey lofi or this remixed Metroid mix but ya done burnt up the rainforest to do soā€¦

Woah. Boy have I been absent. My mom was visiting and with everything going on I just had to take a minute. šŸ«  Iā€™ve just been over here doomscrolling and refreshing the tracking on a new Anbernic device.

Really interested in all the comments I see about the Switch 2 not being innovative or next generation. Yet we are on the PS5 & Xbox seriesss. What are yall wanting???

Iā€™ve been lurking more on Twitch. Where should I be chilling? I enjoy game dev, illustration and retro streams but kinda down to explore anything atm

Iā€™m in a tiny dive bar in town and I forgot how warm and cozy it is. I should frequent this spot way moreā€¦

Have been struggling with this little silly game experience Iā€™ve been working on and I think I finalllllly figured it out :) TBD. šŸ˜…

Its data management Monday over here backing up old hard drives to new SSDs and organizing production assets šŸ™ƒšŸ«  My brain has meltedā€¦

2025 the grind continues. I carved out time to work on a project today and I basically sat at my desk doing nothing with just full on brain meltā€¦ Hereā€™s to 2025. May we all find work life balance and be able to unplug and find rejuvenationā€¦somewhere. šŸ™ƒ

Been working on a tiny diorama of Boba Fett about to get a Stormtrooper. And I couldnā€™t just paint the minis normalā€¦but Iā€™m in over my head haha. Iā€™m using a blue under coat and building up to a white with some ice yellow involved. Idk. Iā€™m just wingin it. Hereā€™s a photo of me figuring out placement

The wizard has been borked for a few days but I woke up in the middle of the night with an idea to fix ya boy. Will report back as soon as some experiments can occurā€¦

Iā€™m helping multiple projects these days in various stages of development and my ass thought it would be a fun idea to make a little game boy color game in 2 months around the holidays I have a month left and stumbled into a hornets nest of programming fun trying to get some variables to work šŸ™ƒšŸ« 

Pitting my ghoul allies against ghasts in the Vaults of Zin! #TurnBasedThursday #Lovecraftian #IndieGameDev

Thereā€™s so many great games out and this goblin brain just wants to play Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon on the N64.

I finished The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. And I really enjoyed my time with itā€¦the ending just fell flat for meā€¦but hopeful for another Zelda centric game in the future.

Do any other game devs make a character and then just stare at them wondering if the vibes are off? Anyone? Asking for a friend.

We have a wizardā€¦ I donā€™t like em. Making a new wizard and going more whimsical this round. Ideally Iā€™d have a suite of wizards for this project but itā€™s going to have one to start for my sanity.

Back from a little vacation filled with tiki drinks and adventures. (It was Disneyland) And back to designing a wizard for a small game. Wizard has been sketched out BUT what do you look forward in a wizard for your employ?
