❗ Art is a beacon
Our #indiegame was always meant to have a community centred around #nonbinary and other #queer folks. With current events as they are, we will be louder about that.
Our main character Wik is non binary, and that's relevant to their story and lore. Follow us if that interests you!

This game is amazing! I've been thinking about it a lot since I last streamed it.
Its central theme aligns perfectly with its central mechanic: If you want to create art, you must balance putting in the time to work, and spending time living life.
Such a treat to experience! #indiegame

Wanted more opinions on this:
When you play a Steam game and it's done after less than 2 hours, you technically can return it. Even if you decide not to return it, does the knowledge that you could bother you? Would that subconsciously take away from your experience?

For our #indiegame, we're equally balancing cuteness with horror, with the hope of creating charm.
Looney Toons does this! Characters are fairly cute, and being smashed into a pancake or exploded to bits is fairly horrific. But because they match intensities, it's very charming.

There's a lot of balance to strike for Endless You.
The balance between cuteness and existential horror. The balance of constant death with the feeling of fairness. And the balance of having deep lore with being brief with words.
A challenge, but one we shall solve gracefully.

Been working at creating a particle system in #Godot to add to the atmosphere of our #indiegame project. Aiming for something similar to how it's done in Hollow Knight and Silksong.
As an initial step, I made this little guy: a dust particle. Say hello to Dustin!

I took the survey about LLM use for SFWA, and I've been holding a particular response I gave in my mind:
I'm not a reader because I want to simply experience interesting strings of words. I read to find connection with others. The author, other readers. It is a deeply human activity.

Here's a still of all the background layers for the abandoned power plant area in our upcoming #indiegame!
Heat was produced through fusing hydrogen atoms together, and converted to electricity with great efficiency. Now, these structures loom silently over emerging foliage.

Structurally, 2 of Portal's 3 hours is just well-disguised tutorial. And it rocks!
Endless You will have 6 factories to explore, each with Portal's basic structure. But also, all the factories combined are like tutorial for the final area. It's like 6 Portals nested into one big Portal! #gamedev
