I never introduced myself! I’m Chris, an indie dev who made a silly little cat game and is currently figuring out what’s next. Most recently I worked at Fire Hose Games on an unannounced project, but have done QA, project management, and miscellaneous dev work throughout my 12 years in the industry

Never mind his Wikipedia page, I just found out the OFFICIAL MODRETRO WEBSITE makes the connection between its' products and human suffering plain as day. There really are absolutely no excuses for people saying "I didn't know!"

This is definitely the chance to make your voice heard about Switch 2 Game Key Cards.

Today is the 10 year anniversary of the release of the original Catlateral Damage on Steam! Here are some old screenshots of the original 7DFPS game jam prototype (from way back in 2013)
Another gameplay screenshot of the prototype, this time from on top of the bed looking at the bedroom from the opposite side. A gameplay screenshot of the prototype with a permanently outstretched paw and a view into a single bedroom. The shading of scene is flat, with simple color textures (before the final toon shader was implemented) The title screen for the prototype, with the name "CATLATERAL DAMAGE" and the instructions "You are a cat. Swat stuff onto the floor. 2 minute time limit."

I’m very proud of the croissants I made this week! This is by far the best batch I’ve made since I started practicing last year

Wil had surgery yesterday, which means last night and today has been a lot of babysitting and taking silly shark cone photos

Share a random game from your collection on Saturday!

This one was tricky to find, but I had an idea to start collecting “meme games” and this felt like the way to start. I can confirm that these names are actually in the game 😆
