I love that I have a little group of indie dev pals on here now. It just makes me really happy to be able to impart wisdom and talk shop with people who get it. I've been studying game design and analyzing games my entire life; to finally have people to talk about it with makes me so happy.

It just occurred to me why I've been so exhausted and had a hard time working on games lately. I started a new day job in January and I'm still getting acclimated. That's a difficult process even for a neurotypical, much less someone with autism (like me). I need to work on giving myself a break.

Huh. I always figured I'd end up in the camps for being trans.

For the first time in my life, I'm not going to get a Nintendo console at launch. The reduced availability is one thing, but Mario Kart World is multiplayer focused andI won't have anyone to play with. I can get Metroid Prime 4 and Legends ZA on Switch 1, so... yeah. Not doing it this time.

Frip and Froop's Logical Labyrinth DX is 50% off until April 28th during the Steam Box-Pushing Fest 2025! If you like #sokoban or a good fun #puzzlegame, have a look! Get ready for science! store.steampowered.com/app/2499740/... #indiedev #indiegame

My welcome mat at my apartment says "There's no place like 127.0.0.1" and much like my license plate frame that says "<licenseplate>" on the top and "</licenseplate>" on the bottom, the joke is mostly for me, but also anyone else who happens to get it.

Okay, okay. I'll do a real #screenshotsaturday. This is from the end credits sequence of Frip and Froop's Logical Labyrinth DX and my favorite scene. You can get the comedic Sokoban-like puzzle game here: store.steampowered.com/app/2499740/... #indiedev #gamedev #sokoban

I so badly want to do #screenshotsaturday, but Game 3 isn't ready for a reveal yet, so... here's what I *can* show you. The actual game is much farther along; this just with hitboxes enabled and art turned off. This is what games would be without artists. Be thankful for artists.

I don't have to pay taxes. RFK Jr. said so.

I accidentally stayed up all night (and all day) playing Two Point Museum. @commandersterling.bsky.social was right. This is a fucking fantastic game. You should play it if you like fun, silly management sims.
