Congratulations on Monster Hunter Wilds' release, and my deepest sympathies to all those who have coworkers who just so happened to take the day off due to a "sudden and crippling illness"

How do you keep a Bluesky drama thread enjoyer in suspense? Allow me to explain. 1/?

In today's SEASON FINALE of Conditional Branch, we're talking about the robot takeover (and why we shouldn't partake IMHO), and its impact on game development. LIVE at 6pm EST over on twitch.tv/conditional_...

Imported a reference layer into Aseprite and traced over that only to find out after I was done that the reference layer was in the incorrect dimension, so all the pixeling I did had to be scrapped since it was sprited at the wrong size

It's Sunday, which means it's time for another episode of Conditional Branch, where we let go of our dreams of grandeur and learn to do the best we can with what we have. LIVE at 6pm EST (3.5 hours from now) over on twitch.tv/conditional_branch :)

There's too much love in the air today, so we need an energy rebalance. Give me some of the worst pickup lines you've ever heard or heard of in your life. Something that makes you go from "kinda interested" to "relocate to a different postal code immediately."

Did you know... I'm one-third of a game development podcast that's happening TONIGHT at 6pm EST over at twitch.tv/conditional_branch? Join me, @ten63.bsky.social and @vermilionnova.bsky.social in approximately one hour to hear us fight over titty armors, among other things. ;)

Recently learned about importing JSON files into RPG Maker and now I've ascended to a higher state of being.

*sees a sudden influx of followers* Immediate reaction: Welcome in, everyone! I'm glad you decided to stick around! Literally one second later: Oh geez what happened? Did I say something dumb again?

You should PLAN on listening to this week's episode of Conditional Branch. Not doing so would be a MISTAKE. ;) See you at 6pm EST -- www.twitch.tv/conditional_...

The Nintendo Switch 2! It's like the Switch, but with an actual stand!

Greetings, #PortfolioDay I m zDS. I'm a game developer. Here's some of stuff from the game I'm working on, Kissed By A Star. It's a novel meets turn-based RPG.

Talking about post-podcast, looking at an RPG Maker demo recap of 2024, and then finishing off with some gamedev: www.twitch.tv/annoyednova

I'm cohosting a podcast where we talk about general game design and poke at each other! Catch the Conditional Branch Podcast Pilot Episode on my twitch right now: www.twitch.tv/annoyednova

The Like a Dragon Experience:

Go buy my friend's game if you haven't yet. I recommend it highly. :)

Question for those still on Twitter: Why are you still there? Not trying to shame anyone or anything, but I am curious as to what keeps you there. Is it keeping all your eggs out of one basket? Do you think Bluesky isn't the Twitter killer that it was hyped to be? Or some other reason?

A special early holiday present: Yuusha Land+! This is a standalone version of the arcade minigame from Astra Hunter Zosma. Includes all 5 levels, plus 10 new harder ones and a new Endless mode. Also includes a new track by @specialagentape.bsky.social! Check it out at: torch60.itch.io/yuusha-land

Remember those cool fullscreen effects of some skills in FF6? I always wanted to recreate that. And tbh it's pretty easy once you have a template to just replace colours frame by frame. So imagine this with like 50% transparency and you get the idea. For Hero's Realm remaster

About to make some burgers by hand. If I don't check back in in about 20 minutes, check in on me. The chance that I have set fire to my apartment is not zero

So I'm continuing Dragon Quest 3 and my thoughts are basically...

Heads up if you've got games on itch. io: You need to go into your dashboard and tag them as non-AI or they'll stop showing up in searches. (This is generally a good thing- it's going to remove the ML- generated cruft from circulation 🤘) #TTRPGs

Not sure if anyone here is interested, but I'm still open to do music commissions. My rate is $300 per minute of music, but if that's outside of your budget, I'm willing to work with you. Here's my soundcloud--can share more music upon request: soundcloud.com/a-very-long-...
