i routinely almost buy a PS2 and then go nah I'll just emulate it's probably easier in the long run. Like this is a spiritual ritual I have to do a few times a year - needs a term... nostalgia edging? authenticity denial?

turbo mode in Dota 2 has me failing in love again especially with how other players also just seem more chill, playing normal mode feels like a chore

a perpetually nervous hell hound, branching out a bit from the intial idea of pirates/robots/elves more is quite fun

you are loved, we will win

on the subject (Tidal Memory Exo) of lyrics which feel like disemboided remnant ghosts shooting signals across the ocean I think this www.youtube.com/watch?v=k96v... its interesting, very ahead of its time. y'know its dissapointing how asmr never went in this direction at least from what ive seen

Tidal Memory Exo is my fav album to listen to while coding. I think it gives a nice squishy oceany physicality to the muted depths of JetBrains Rider. Like the barely intelligible lyrics allow me to focus but the moments they press on me they resonate

My game has pirates robots elves and what I'm calling 'mythologists' and these monstrous demi-gods -- planning on posting some gameplay footage real soon:)

say hello to the echo of darkness ! hello echo of darkness

New card art for the mage guy

the insatiable hunger for annihilation in feverish dreams between ritalin doses driven development

video games

pathologic 2 is such a good game that I still like it even after being caught in a merciless loop of starvation and people attacking me over and over

always put a hat on your evil magic staff!

here he is!! elf mage monster is ready 🧙‍♂️

climb inside this mech! it's totally safe ! the robot faction needed a ranged guy so here he is (wip) #mecha #skeleton #bonesinamecha

draft of a new spellcasting monster for my game idk why but I love calling all my units mons/monsters and elves (like this one) are authoritarians in my game so it fits... the other unit type are robots and pirates #indiedev #gamedev

stuck in shader hell today 😫 actually was almost tempted to modify UE's engine (as always) but at least it's starting to look better than 'generic cel shaded game'

Hey! I'm Wyatt, an illustrator + animator, new to Bluesky, I create artwork that plays on retro visuals, 90s/00s nostalgia and hauntology. Thought I would give this place a go to meet other friendly communities of artists! 🎨 #art #artist #animator #illustrator #animation #illustration #drawing

'praying automaton' character model made for my #indiegame #deckbuilder #strategy its like Slay the Spire + Into The Breach basically 😋

character design for my deckbuilder/strategy #indiegame

i miss looking at game box art at blockbuster and looking at the back and being completely confused, excited and scared bring incomprehensiblity back to gaming

how do I 'get my indie game out there'? i mean when it's ready ofc. just post about it and hope for the best? ive technically been on social media my whole life but its kind of terrifying.

i never much liked the other place anyway
