To my own surprise, #silksong steel soul is done 🥵 It took a few more retries but as soon as I learned to consistently get to act 2 in one life, everything else snowballed from there. Amazing game, no notes

The logo is actually quite fine. I can imagine buyers using it as-is. No, what I meant is: I would appreciate something like 🖼️. Here, I composited your B&W displays and the coloured logo, then changed the colour temperature of the displays. Still, at the end of the day, it's your vision :)

A little black paw looms over two fishes. But fret not: its job is inspecting quality 😌 I'm working on an entry for #js13kgames. This year's theme is "Black Cat"

Three days' progress, currently sitting at 5KB (40% of 13KB)

Oh wow this was the first post to mention the #decadejam hashtag on Bluesky. It was nice hopping on the call!

I'm working on a (maybe) story-driven, (surely) tactical game with some rougelike elements... maybe. As you can see I'm still figuring it out myself 😅 I'll have more details by mid spring

How it's going. I'm trying out some low-res realistic textures and I've added a post-processing pass to make the darker areas even darker

I think I've accidentaly achieved the escape room Flash game aestethic 😅

A grungy, dimly lit desk protrudes towards the camera. It's perpendicular to the wall you're facing. Hanging on the wall, two shelves with 4 bottles each. They appear to be fed by some pipes that originate from a nearby column still. On the desk, an eyeball in a glass and a book

I've begun sketching and modeling the workbench—one of the 3 main interactable areas of my game. The UV unwrapping is a WIP. More details (and screenshots) soon 🙂 #gamedev #indiedev
A black and white sketch depicting a standing desk suspended with cables. On the right side, a column still pierces through the wood. The piping feeds two rows of bottles to its left. On the desk, four glasses containing spheres (they are supposed to be eyeballs), a book, and a cleaver. The same scene modeled in Blender, viewed at an isometric angle. Some objects feature a more consistent UV unwrapping than others. The desk, the shelved with the bottles and the column still are orange. The desk outline, the piping, and the rest of the props are grey.

After 4 years, and a drastic change of career, I've finally updated my website. I kept it small—so small that it displays properly even at a square ratio... too small? 😅 No matter: it's time to build games! #gamedev
A square screenshot of the website https://fedetibaldo.com. At the top, a title with colorful text reads: "🎮 fedetibaldo". At the center, the main content reads: "Hello 👋 I'm a web dev turned indie game dev. I make games that younger me would have loved." Three buttons follow, each of which features a brand; in order: Discord, itch.io, and Bluesky. At the bottom, the footer reads: "All rights reserved. This website doesn't use cookies".

Welp, I’ve officially pulled the plug on the other place. Going through my post and replies took a full 40 minutes, but now all is wiped

This is not a food account, I swear, but these little wins deserve to be shared. Today I made some Italian “bollito” (meat cooked in savory broth for 3 hours). It was 😋🤤💃
Approx 500g of meat, cooked “bollito” style, sliced and laying on a cutting board A plate with 3 slices of meat, 3 slices of bread, a spoon worth of mustard on the side, and steamed potatoes and carrots (covered in spices)

This modified IKEA cabinet will make for a great #retrogaming station 😌
A CRT TV on top of a knee-high black cabinet on wheels. The cabinet is twice as wide as it is tall. Inside the cabinet, four quadrants hold, starting from the top left corner and going clockwise: a PS2 slim, a PS1, several PS1 games, and a few PS2 games

A comic about memories, crafted without the pressure of making it pretty 😌

#makeaterriblecomicday2024
6 panels comic. Title: “The mind is a curiosity thing.” Text over diagram of a neuron: “Neurons are fired, chemicals are released, thoughts are formed in directionless space” Wide panel features a net of neurons, decreasing in density from left to right. A light blue line connects some of the neurons. Text on the left: “the pathways that have come to mean you, will one day shift irremediably.” Text on the right: “and then they will power down… forever” A single neuron, drawn in the style of the net above, is at the center of the fifth panel. It’s light blue. Text: “that’s where we are headed. We are bound for deletion.” Last panel, grey text over dark background: “I hope my memories won’t fail me too soon”

I don’t know what I was expecting, but the fact that this is an indexed search string came as a surprise to me
Duckduckgo search results for “jerk off gesture.” The first result is an indexed PornHub search page. The title of the page is: “Jerk Off Gesture Porn Videos”

I thought my music taste was pretty unique, and instead it turns out it’s a carbon copy of Apple Music’s “2000s Electronic Essentials” playlist!? Surely their curator is as quirky as me
Am I archetypal? No, it’s the playlist curator who’s as quirky as me

Don’t get me wrong. It looks stunning, and I love the texture of the wood interiors. Still, through no fault of your own, my internet-poisoned mind can’t help but be reminded about this image 😂
The bus ride happy side sad side meme template. It depicts the interior of a bus riding down a mountain. On it, two men are looking outside the window of their respective side. One, on the side of the gray mountain wall, is visibly sad. The other, on the side of the valley, smiles as he watches the sun irradiate the area

This time, a more personal #whistpr. Today’s word: LINE

#writingprompt
#whistpr April 3 LINE There’s a fine line between “is” and “has been.” We take for granted our interactions, our love, our joys because if we didn’t, we would be filled with sorrow at every goodbye, with sadness at every hug. To be happy is to disregard the future, to walk the line of what’s here now. As I hug you tonight, maybe for the last time, I don’t wanna lose my balance—I will stay on the line, in the warmth of your arms.

Another 100 words (and then some) for today’s #whistpr: LIGHTS

#writingprompt
#whistpr April 2 LIGHTS Those were the prettiest lights he had ever seen. Prettier than the fireworks at his wedding, prettier than the blinking LEDs of the adorned Christmas tree in front of which they used to stage the birthday pictures of their daughter. He missed those days, when she was young and being a good father and husband came so easy to him. Things were different now, but under those newfound suns shining bright in the night sky, he could feel his anguish melt away, his muscles relax, the fanfare play. In her car, an overworked lady carefully drove past the middle point of the intersection, where a drunken man stood.

Letter. A 2AM, 185 words long writing experiment. #whistpr
#whistpr April 1 LETTER “Look at this Jade: we got a letter!” Mark’s exuberant pitch catches the attention of his wife in the other room. “A letter? What’s special about that?” She asks, as she approaches the tattered couch in the living area, where Mark is sorting through the mail. “Everything’s special about this!” He gestures. “The handwriting on the address, the yellowed paper, the dozens of postmarks. This might as well be a long forgotten heritage!” “A long forgotten heritage.” Jade ponders these words, her gaze locked on the mysterious envelope Mark’s flipping between his hands. “We could use some extra cash,” she thinks. “Well, open it already.” “Right. Pass me the letter opener, it’s there, on the fireplace” She bolts back and forth, then sits on the ground in front of her husband. There’s space next to him but she’s hardly thinking about her present comfort. The little blade zips along the edge of the envelope. Mark reaches in, then carefully pulls out the letter. The thrice-folded sheet looked and smelled old, but the material felt unnaturally pristine to the touch, he would later recall.
