VERY IMPORTANT LIFE UPDATE. Good news I promise! I have attached the full explanation as attachments (alt text friendly). But here's the gist:

-I put in my two weeks
-I will now have more time to work on my project(s)
-I am ready for work in the industry
-If you know of any work, paid/unpaid, lmk!
Despite going into game dev, Ya'll might be surprised that I wasn't always going towards gamedev. In fact, it was a pathway towards bio-engineer with a focus on smart medical devices. It's a much longer post, perhaps I will share the details one day. But yeah, no, one thing lead to another, lol.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

While I am learning #pixelart, I did want to share some assets I am making for one of my smaller #gamedev projects. Can't really get into it atm since I am trying to decide what the game "is", but spoiler alert, it involves cookies. Here's 6 I made. The goal is to get into triple digits if possible.

Alright gamedev, I'm calling ya'll out. When ya'll gonna make a game where I get to play as a drag queen protagonist?

Like, am I going to have to do it? Am I going to have to climb the summit to garner audience with the drag queen high council to make it happen?

Cause I will.

I fucking WILL.

Aaron Paul really did a phenomenal job as a VA in Dispatch.

I feel like I am always so hesitant when it comes to celebrities voicing animated or video game roles, because aside from a handful I just feel it never pans out. But for Aaron, idk, I can't imagine Robert Robertson having any other voice

Hitting credits in Cronos: The New Dawn, and damn...What a game! Going to do another run asap to get the plat, but I am so happy with it. Couple pitfalls, and a slog section, but it's fantastic the rest of the way through. Bloober team proving once again they make some damn good hospital levels!

Great topology, all things considered.

Um... I know I might be preaching to the choir...or it "could" be a hot take.

But, as much as I liked Clair Obscur: Exp 33, it feels very gross to me that it occupies a nomination in both indie game categories, while ALSO occupying a spot in various other categories...

Kind of unfair, imo, TGA2025

Hi #pixelart and #gamedev, I was hoping to get some help today on something. I wanted to know if anyone had some great examples of characters scaled in 32 x 32 pixel size format? I am learning at that scale atm, and I am trying to avoid distracting myself too much seeking out examples. (continued):
November 17, 2025 at 5:03 PM
I am loving Cronos: The New Dawn so far. Probably a third of the way through the game, and it's just been great. I definitely understand the Dead Space comparisons, but as I have had played both, they are distinctly different in terms of game feel and loop. Enemy variety isn't the best though...

The #pixelart skeleton stick man method is coming together.

Testing out drawing muscles in 32 x 32 pixel art size. It's tough, but not bad! Arms don't provide a lot of real estate when you are trying to make a really large, wide torso. Gonna block it out and see what I can do with the form.
November 16, 2025 at 10:09 PM
Hi #pixelart and #gamedev ! Last time, I was trying out the silhouette method of pixel art for building characters. I am pivoting from that to try another method that is more akin to what I am more comfortable with (building from a skeleton). Shoutout to Brandon James Greer's video on the topic!

Anyone in need of QA? I know some of your projects are very very far along, Bea's offering help!
Are you a small or solo dev in need of QA but can't afford it? Please reach out, if it looks interesting, I'll gladly volunteer my time and experience. I have been involved with over a dozen projects that shipped, with many more on the way, and would love to help you too! <3

I can't recall if I ever shared this short story I wrote with any of you before, but in the event I had, sorry. But if I hadn't? Well, here you go. Doing some winter cleaning of my laptop and sorting stuff around and it popped up lol. #writing

Wanting to make a boss in a souls like that is named:

"Humphrey, Lover of Women" and if you come at them with a lady, they just off themselves immediately by running full sprint away and off the battle arena.

Come at Humphrey with anyone else and like, 11/10 difficulty, no notes.

I had a short story I was writing years ago, got about 30 pages in. It had to do with what if a utopia was ruled by a Kakistocracy. It was meant to be a dark comedy, very on the nose. I ended up trashing it because reality was usurping my fiction.

Reality effectively rendered my story obsolete, lol

I'm learning a LOT about today's modern gamer thanks to Dispatch.

The amount of leeway Invisigirl gets is wiiild. That's not even a spoiler, but it's so dramatically polling in her favor, at all times.

It's kind of reminding me of how much people leaned hard towards Chloe in Life is Strange.
November 13, 2025 at 4:30 PM
But seriously though. Anyone else think about what their skeleton looks like doing every day tasks? No?

Just me?

Boy howdy, I sure am hungry.

...

...HUNGRY FOR SOME PROGRESS ON THE GAMEDEV GRIND LET'S GOOO, IMMA BOUT TO LAY DOWN ALL KIIINDS OF PIXELS.

I might even get reaaal freaky with it, and contribute to my GDD if I want to take a break from learning pixel art for a while.

The whole world is oysters!

Oh shit first snow fall of the year let's go.

Or actually, should be "let's snow".

Hey Vets, I am going to do the thing. I tried reaching out to everyone I know who is a veteran, but I would be there for a while.

So yeah, imma say it. Happy Veteran's Day.

God, now AI is making it's way into Udemy?

Can I go somewhere, anywhere, where I don't have the equivalent of robo-calls barraging me? I just want to learn. I am so tired.

"I'm" choosing to go to a learning platform, so "I" can learn. Not have something "attempt" to learn "for me", "from me".
