That same publication is trying to sell you drugs to quick-fix your unhappiness. This is gross. We need to keep our peoples educated so we don't fall for this crap.
A promoted headline from The Atlantic: "A Shortcut for Feeling Just a Little Happier; Mental and physical pain share neurological roots. A simple painkiller can help with both." It has a generic photo of 3 white pill tablets against a blue background. My fixed version of the previous image that is less insulting to humankind and more educational. "A Shortcut for Feeling Just a Little Happier; Oxytocin is released by your brain when making physical contact with your loved ones." The image was replaced by a crude drawing of two people holding hands next to a fat cat.

The Elder Scrolls already told its story. Try something new!

(And give $$ to developers, not conglomerates)
Screenshot of Dread Delusion, a 2024 RPG with striking visuals and deep exploration. In first-person view, the player wields a sword and a spell, and the HUD displays status for HP, Mana, and Stamina. The player overlooks the open world featuring a floating castle, bridges, pathways, plains, and various foliage. The style is intentionally low-poly with confident texturing: both bright and grungy. The blood red sky and the simulated lighting paint the distant features of the world with peril and mystery.

Catch me at GDC this week! Or... shall I catch you? 🤔

My team is eager to share the tarot-inspired arena shooter we've been developing! Eidolon: Fate of Fools is an arena shooter with a card game twist where players use mystical abilities inspired by Major Arcana tarot cards!

"Cats & Critters: A Dungeon Claw-er" is available for free in just one week! Link in bio

Thought I'd share some memes from our team as well as reveal... THE CANON NAMES OF THE CATS!

🔵😾 Blat, the Brave 💢
🟡😼 Jaune, the Feisty 🔥
🌸😸 Lilou, the Wary ❄️
🟢😹 Mips, the Mellow 🍃

... and they were roommates!
An edit of a sleepy cat in which the cat was duplicated and recolored to resemble the entire party of Cats & Critters sleeping. The caption says, "Frank battle starts at 8 AM. Out gleeby deeby party at 7:99 AM 😂😂" A screenshot of the blue cat, Blat, losing a life in the game Cats & Critters. Imposed above this screenshot is a big red circle and arrow containing a blue-tinted image of a popular sleepy cat meme, indicating that Blat is so damn tired of losing lives. A meme where the first half shows a stock image of a gasping woman feigning fear with the text: "Oh no! Some form of evil is antagonizing me!" The bottom half reads: "Quick! Send four dipshits!" and depicts many classic teams of four from co-op video games, including Castle Crashers, Helldivers, Left 4 Dead 2, and more. The party of cats from Cats & Critters are notably edited in as well.

I promised to share some behind-the-scenes secrets for Cats & Critters, so enjoy "Early Prototype vs. Release Screenshot" The first image is ~16 months old now

Be careful who you call ugly in pre-production xD

Very early prototype screenshot including the first iteration of procedural environments, a simple character, and a mock HUD that for some reason looks like clowns. All of the 3D geometry is elementary and the colors are unappealing. Screenshot of Cats & Critters: A Dungeon Claw-er in which three cats are battling an enemy in a rocky environment decorated with pale blue fungi. The HUD looks appealing and doesn't look like clowns anymore!

I grew up on these streets
Do you know the Milkman? Is he nice in person? (Psychonauts screenshot. Fun fact: this game used localized gravity to allow navigatation through contorted environments before Super Mario Galaxy did)
