Hey folks,
just wrapped up developing Tiny Whiny Island, a cozy open-world game I produced with five awesome friends. I’d love it if you could take a moment to wishlist it on Steam! It would mean the world to us!

The more things I've made, the less I've been interested in publicly criticizing the things that other people make, because once you make a few things you start to understand what a miracle it is that anything gets made at all

Added Respawn effect, I'm too giddy about this #screenshotsaturday #indiegamedev

In celebration of completing my game, I decided to create a short video sharing some tips and advice on the topic. That's all, hope y'all find some use out of it!

Next week, I'll be doing the BAD Game Jam.

The good part of AI is that the only thing a writer can do to combat it is to become more human. Make your writing weirder, hornier, more violent, absurd, poetic, difficult, political, jagged, dreamlike, ironic, surreal, alive. You don't have any choice but to plumb the depths.

The whole "I'm an artist! I need to get with X company to make it!" needs to fucking die in a fire.

-the older the creative industry, the more hyper-optimized it is to take the lion's share of profit from your work.

-Why do you think the penniless creator of the masterwork story is old hat?

Days like today are why people give up on #gamedev and become like… real estate agents…

There are easier ways to make money. And industries with way more competent leadership….

Hungry Hungry Hippos was a tragic game. They weren't actually hungry, it was emotional eating. It was a cry for help but we just laughed and laughed.

If my game doesn't get banned from steam, I would be shocked.

This didn't happen by random chance of the market or some neutral development of technology. The game industry, like many industries, figured out how to outsource all the risks and costs of production onto the aspirational while capturing their own cut as rent. Game devs are uber drivers now.

Every 3 days, I get a newsletter from Linkden recommending me this scam of a company to work it. I'm tired of getting spammed by them for a year, and linkden doesn't have a block function for job postings. You don't need them, Make your own game dev studio! #Linkden #gamedev #indiegame

I've decided to create a humble starter kit for game devs that are of Lebanese origin. I know there's more than these fine folks around, but I have a feeling most haven't joined Bluesky. I'll wait and see, and potentially turn it to a Levantine Arab list instead go.bsky.app/BCfeTT1
