Fishmonger Hut by ConManEd
A new and updated version of a small little Fishing hut on a small island.
conmaned.itch.io
Well, what I thought would be a quick upgrade turned into a whole task. But I'm happy to announce that the Fishmonger Hut is done and you can download the update now! If you use it in a project let me know. I would love to the places it goes. #indiedev #gameasset #crocotile3D #blender
The Game Jam this was entered in said we couldn’t name it Butt Skunks. So… we didn’t.
But… Skunks?!
It’s a rhythm game for the #quadplay fantasy console, and it's about taking back what’s yours.

This game was born from a very bad dream I had. @petermjgross.bsky.social brought it to life with some amazing coding for the "problem" on the ship.
Greetings, colonizer! Your willingness to volunteer for this mission is greatly appreciated.
And if you fail, it’s easy enough to thaw out another volunteer.

Over a year ago I entered a PicoCad comp and made a fishing hut. I imported it into #Crocotile3D and started redoing the textures. #pixelart #indiedev #fishing

There's a difference between designing game worlds & experiencing them.

Worldbuilding for (game) writers
You could spend a decade building your game world! When is enough enough? Turns out your world doesn't have to be huge - it just has to make sense.

The fun part of writing Christine Taxi with @conmaned.bsky.social was coming up with Twitter-length justifications for murder. Check it out!

My Surface 4 that I use for on the go game development isn't Windows 11 compatible. It just threw up another full screen ad for a Copilot+ surface. Anyway, I am moving all my dev stuff onto a thumb drive then installing Linux #Mint

Cover art on @itch.io always makes me nervous. I never know if I am doing something that will jump out at a potential player. I've felt that way for some time about We Stole a Ship to Run a Scam. So, I updated it to see the "we". #indiedev #pixelart #rpgmaker
