Dustborn is 70% off on Steam this week — CRIMINALLY cheap but if more people get to play the game, that's a good thing. We've made a TON of changes since launch & more are coming VERY soon, so this is the perfect time to board the bus from Pacifica to Nova Scotia with Pax & her crew.

heck yeah

doing our part 🫡

any other indiedevs feeling a larger responsibility these days to ensure our art propagates messages of community support and anti-authoritarian themes? just me? 😅

hey everybody just a quick reminder: billionaires are the enemy 👍 okay thanks have a great day

In response to the Polygon and Giant Bomb news, I created an indie and worker-owned games media starter pack. I’ll keep adding to it, so suggestions and recommendations are greatly appreciated. Please share!

What are some examples of aesthetic combos, either 2-color or 3-color, that are fairly well-known and recognizable both by *a particular name* and by sight? Some examples might be Neapolitan (brown/white/pink), vaporwave (bright blue/pink), camo (browns/greens), etc.

you know the project's getting serious when you start sketching house interiors

kinda funny how game development, itself, has hooks and loops and progression systems and an economy and etc. been leveling up lately, making good progress gaining skills and unlocking new mission chapters, having fun mastering new combos and such

i'm not saying my games have the best writing, but it's fun to dust off the ol' word muscles a little bit

... pretty sure i just leveled up my graphics knowledge by learning music theory lol (turns out 'quantizing' is a thing in both, oops)
