taping this to the front door in preparation for my roommate coming back to Boston after a WHOLE MONTH abroad... I've been pining away

My annual year in review post is here. Contains Numbers, for better or worse. binarystar.games/posts/origin...

truly nothing beats the adrenaline rush of downloading 27 Fallout 4 mods without vetting compatibility and waiting to see if the game crashes

packing up new years print and sticker gifts for my long-distance #indiegames collaborators :)

Up the basin

crying laughing reading my middle school journals that I found the other day... initially I had wanted to draw from them to make an experimental, narrative indie game about growing up, but I'm not sure if I can top reality ☠️

it's the new year. Make a game using something that just entered the public domain!

I also made a sticker of my #indiegame protagonist!! right next to a classy sticker by @aggrocrabgames.bsky.social

made this sticker in a feverish haze with my new printer and precision cutter!!! truly not sure if it makes any sense but I needed to bring the idea to life lol #Boston #RedSox

#artvsartist2024 featuring all the #indiegames I made and basically no independent illustrations because apparently I've been obsessed with making games this year or something?? anyways!!

The mini games anthology that I helped organize for the Ann Arbor District Library for the city's bicentennial is out. Featuring a puzzle game by @flyovergames.bsky.social, game boy game by @itsmelilyv.bsky.social, and point-and-click adventure by me aadl.org/drchasegames

I will love holographic overlays until the day I die

being an older sister means making dramatic fanart of your younger brother for his birthday 😌🫶

I could not be more excited for Citizen Sleeper 2 by @jumpovertheage.com — and highly recommend the first game (on sale right now for $6!), a profoundly meaningful experience with some exceptional writing

New Blog! "believing in the idea" stuffedwomb.at/24_12_27_bel...

Okay, so! All my games are currently on sale on itch.io for the holidays, but with a twist! I'm raising money for a friend of my partner (let's call her Rose) who recently had over $1000 stolen from her by her roommate! More info in the 🧵 but anything helps here!! itch.io/s/142069/lin...

My gift for this year pixeljoint secret Santa, for @magickbird.bsky.social #pixelart

I've come to the conclusion that I wouldn't make it as a hermit because after five days of isolation (due to some virus) I've started staring at pictures of my friends on my phone and crying like they've been shipped off to war and I'll never see them again 😂 anyways here's some soup I made

i can finally say it: my translation, in an edited and improved state courtesy of @fangamer.com , will be used for the English translation for OFF in this new remade version. it was SO HARD to keep this secret. i am ecstatic. store.steampowered.com/app/3339880/... wishlist it. NOW!
