Is A Highland Song small enough? Without these settings I couldn't have played (let alone enjoyed) the game <3
Screen cap of A Highland Song's accessibility settings: you can make gameplay easier in several different ways and turn off lightning effects.

It's been a while, but I had some lovely stays in the fairy cabin last year ✨
(What I described there turned out to be symptoms of a new chronic illness btw, poor little sprout lol)

#indiegame #cozygaming
Screenshot of The Merry Fairy demo: a worn out looking scrapbook with cozy old-fashioned cabin interior in the background. There's a mildly poem-ish entry: "After all those rough times I'm finally growing a new sprout of good life. But I still have to fight, nothing is safe, my muscles stay tense, my sleep stays light. I have to protect my little sprout." Illustrations are put together from stickers, showing a concerned looking frog, a rainy cloud, and an adorable fox surrounded by vegetation.

I got to play @springfoxgames.bsky.social's Nif Nif for my curator and had so much fun! Most adorable game I've seen in quite a while 💚
100% recommended even if you aren't that into deckbuilders - check out the demo at #NextFest!
#indiegame #cozygaming
Screenshot from Nif Nif: a card battle to remove goo and trash from a forest creature. The background is a beautifully painted river landscape with mangrove trees. Cat, one of two playable characters, is wearing a silly fake Viking helmet and standing on a giant floating leaf in the river, facing a gooey mass with a pair of disturbed-looking eyes peeking out of it. Three cards are visible. The one highlighted to be played is called "deep cleaning" and shows the cat leaping forwards wielding a giant Q tip. A bright swamp landscape with planks leading to a little cabin and cute, big-eyed frogs. Nif Nif meets a red fox vaguely dressed like an Asian monk and asks "Can you teach me how to swipe better?". The fox says "Sure. First learn dust, then learn mop!". You can choose between training to upgrade a card, and meditating for cleanliness +12. An idyllic sunny landscape with grass-covered huts, resembling Tolien's Shire and hobbit houses. Cat meets three mischievous animals (groundhogs?) and states: "You seem quiet today, it's suspicious". The little group explains: "We haven't found anyone to prank". Cat asks: "Have you tried Nif Nif?". Night scene with a campfire. Cat is seen sleeping on a camping mattress. A mouse with an outdoorsy hat is holding marshmallows near the flames. In the background, a squirrel and a rabbit curiously peek at the campsite from behind the trees and bushes.

I had a lovely time with @speldosa.bsky.social's little Project Shoreline. It has some quirks and doesn't always save progress, but it's free! Looking forward to Muri: WIldwoods 💚
Slightly longer review: steamcommunity.com/id/loyly/rec...
#cozygaming #indiegame
Screenshot from Project Shoreline, a light 3D platformer with relatively lo-fi but pretty graphics. You play as an anthropomorphic mouse-fish hybrid, here shown to clean fantasy vegetation by spraying water on it. Birds-eye view of a rocky landscape with a lake and a small island in its middle. The island is freshly cleaned and lush again, emitting a bubble effect. The main character is standing on a rock, overlooking a beautiful rocky coastal landscape with fresh green growth and some huge sea shells. The main character is standing in the middle of a bright green meadow surrounded by rocks and a lake, with large pink flowers in the foreground. A dark little hedgehog-like creature is right beside the MC, looking at them with big eyes. A few more of the creatures are down by the lake shore.

Obsessed with @ratmode.games's demo. Just the kind of very low-key activity I needed for when #chronicillness says I have to rest but I'm too bored and frustrated to do nothing at all.
#indiegame #cozygaming
Screenshot from the demo of Soggy Beans, an underwater idler game. This is a rather bright scene with coral-shaped growth and other plants behind two elegant chairs by a table with a tea set and snacks. The ground is sandy, with some rocks. Owl figurines are placed in various spots. A mouse figurine lurks behind the table, and two fish are swimming towards it. Another underwater scene, this one very lush with some huge light decomposing tree stumps. The ground is grass green, and apparently mushrooms can grow here for some reason. A derpy-looking starfish and a tiny platypus creature are visiting. A somewhat darker underwater scene, with dark purple corals forming a gate behind an owl sitting on a stack of books. Partially shown in the foreground is a bright red/pink sofa with two mice sitting on it. Two fish are visiting. A very busy scene that doesn't look much like it's underwater, but it's situated on a shipwreck at least. There's a row of stalls selling various things in the background, each with a different owl figurine on top. To the left there's a bar counter made up of several tables that look like origami. A group of mice are sitting on a fish-inspired sofa and on fancy chairs, by tables with drinks and snacks on them. A starfish with a slight smile is floating over one of the mice, a tiny platypus with a purple bandana is walking away from the bar and sofa area.

löyly-coded characters
Dominique Pamplemousse, from the game with the same name. They are made of clay or something like the rest of the game, derpy-looking with googly eyes, dressed in what may be a trench coat and a detective hat. Their dialogue says: "You're probably looking at me like I'm strange". Ashley from Necrobarista, an anime-ish 3D visual novel. Ashley is a light-skinned teen with rather light, straight hair mostly tied back, dressed in a green sweater/jacket and a green cap. She's busy with something we can't see in the screenshot, while her dialogue says: "I feel like I'm stuck in a loop of trying things that are inevitably going to fail and I don't know how much of it is my fault for not being good enough at a monumentally difficult task". Drake from Frank and Drake, a hand-drawn 2D mystery game. Either I was hallucinating that he was described as nonbinary out of game, or the devs/publisher changed their mind. Oh well. He's very pale, with long dark hair and well-defined dark eye brows, wearing casual clothes and pink shades. His face looks rather soft, but right now his expression shows that he's thoroughly fed up. A possum from Hibernation Day, a funny little 2D game with simple but cute hand-drawn art. The possum is wearing a reddish pearl necklace and a green-white something that may be a scarf. The dialogue above says: "well, I am wise, old, and a marvelous horticulturist".

You know what, I'll share these in case anyone needs a laugh...
They are kind of precious bc I actually hate doing things I'm not immediately good at! Maybe I'm getting better at being bad so I can practice and get better at being good! Or just have fun anyway 🐸
#frog #derp
An attempt at drawing a frog, in insecure amateurish lines. The frog-like creature is facing the observer and looking pretty derpy. A better attempt at drawing a frog, in more decisive digital ink strokes, though the legs are quite neglected. It may resemble a tropical tree frog, which was one of my reference pics. I actually think it's kind of cute. More ridiculous frog drawings, three small ones above one larger coloured one. In the first one I bravely tried to determine exactly what the legs and feet would look like, but it turned out very awkward. The face is rather long, the look slightly upwards, maybe contemplative. In the second one I'm back at leaving the feet vague. This one has a short face and looks pretty stoned. The third one looks bored or grumpy, possibly because it's got malformed front legs. The large one is probably the best attempt, which is why I gave it some colour. I think it looks a bit like a melancholic toad. It's pale green with a bit of rudimentary shading, a half-arsed mouth consisting of two black lines, and narrow black pupils in slightly yellowish eyes.

They work so well though
A post saying "My nest doorbell automatically locks the front door when it sees a face it doesn't recognize. Today it didn't recognize me, so I went into the app to investigate and..." - a screenshot of the app shows the message "new people seen" with a picture of the OP wearing a t-shirt with Gowron on it. Gowron is circled in as a new person.

Day 1 of #rpgmaker: Just going to make a TINY game. A "game". So tiny that I'll actually finish it and make my inner 16-year-old happy.
Day 2: Making my own assets is the bare minimum though
Day 7: ...ONE more tutorial...
Day 14: WHAT IF I CREATE MY OWN CUTSCENES
Meanwhile, the state of the project:
This screenshot of an RPG Maker project proudly presents 100% standard assets that came with the programme. It shows the side view meant for battles, with a weirdly cute one-eyed slime monster and a single hero meeting on a forest path. My biggest accomplishment so far is the addition of an event that makes the slime say "hii" and gives the player the choice between "give fruit" and "keep fruit".

If you see this, quote post your fanart
- This time without breaking the chain lol, moved my original comment to the comments...
A bird-like creature with a huge beak and a cheerful tail. Its eyes look like black buttons, there's a seam between the beak and the body. The legs are supposed to be wires wrapped in yarn, but you probably couldn't see that. One of the legs looks shorter than the other one because I only noticed it after deleting the patterns I used so I couldn't be bothered to fix it.

Screenshot from Marvin's Mittens: this is an adorable 2D game with hand-painted graphics of snowy landscapes and a joyful little kid. Here, Marvin is standing by a large tree with a tree house, looking at a rustic wooden sign with a sled on it. It's day time, a bit of snow is falling, but there's a patch of blue sky. A tutorial graphic in the lower right corner shows that you can get Marvin to jump and collect tokens by pressing space. Screenshot from Marvin's Mittens: Marvin arrives at a camp with three tents in dim evening light. Three small, colourfully dressed creatures are sitting on a log beside a burning torch. The camp is surrounded by large rocks. Star-shaped collectible tokens are glowing in various places. Screenshot from Marvin's Mittens: a snowy landscape partially hidden behind a drawing pad on which Marvin drew an owl he just discovered. Screenshot from Marvin's Mittens: Marvin on a wooden sled, about to sled down a cloud with a sled sign on it. Behind the large cloud and a few smaller ones, night is falling with a reddish horizon, stars appearing, and pale green northern lights.

#indiegame #indiecember
Screenshot from Saltsea Chronicles: a conversation between two of the main characters. Molpe is a younger person with brown skin and short black hair. Stew is an older woman with greenish skin and hair. A baby is peeking over Molpe's shoulder. In the dialogue, Stew says "May be on the level?". Molpe asks "Is that your read?". Stew replies: "My read is mostly: lonely". Molpe sighs: "Misfit crew it is, then". Screenshot from Saltsea Chronicles: chapter select screen, with low-key background graphics reminding of seaweed and roughly ship- or island-shaped illustrations for the two chapters unlocked so far. The text says: "Chapter 2 - Float & Gardens. The crew crash-land on the travelling trade community known as The Float. They need to search for both leads and repairs. Who will explore the busy thoroughfare? Play this newly unlocked chapter." Screenshot from Saltsea Chronicles: comic strips illustrate the story. In the first picture, a yellow bird is sitting on a roof, with another bird sitting on an electricity mast (?). There's a trail of small red drops or objects coming from the top left corner. The second picture shows the main characters running across a field. The background is a grey-ish brown. It's all quite mysterious. Screenshot from Saltsea Chronicles: The top left corner informs that the current location is The Weathered Wing. The picture uses simple shapes and mellow colours. Most of the space is occupied by a house with three visible rooms, connected by stairs, and two rooftop terraces. On the ground floor, someone with light blue skin is sitting at a table with what might be a card game. In the uppermost room, someone with orange-ish skin, yellow overalls and a red-ish hood (?) is busy with something by a shelf with bottles and cups. Oh, there's also another light-blue-skinned person, holding a big eye? Or something? As I said, simple shapes. On the rooftop terrace outside that room, a dark-skinned person in an elegant dress is looking at something in the distance. A text bubble in the middle of the image says: "The rising tides took the fields of home. Ha! Hey! Sing for the sea! And the memory sank beneath the foam. Hey! Ha! Sing for the njar!" - Oh, I guess those people are dancing and making music... To the right of the house, there's a long pole with the shape of a large black bird on top and a couple of round grey objects hanging from the bird's extended wings. I don't really remember what most of this means...

An extremely adorable biopunk adventure. Stop and smell the power flowers!
store.steampowered.com/app/661680/G...

#cozygaming #indiegame #indiecember
Screenshot from Growbot: a very pretty underwater landscape. There's a large bio-mechanical device with white coral-like growth and metal cog wheels. It's surrounded by colourful blooms and cute little fish. On top of the device, a cute frog sits in a diving pod and looks towards an octopus-like creature with a party hat? The octopus is cute, too. Everything is cute. Screenshot from Growbot: an opened book titled Growbot Guidebook. The chapters are history, flora & fauna, greenhouse system, growbot design, and flower arranger. Flora & Fauna is active, and the page to the right shows entries on two creatures: "Light Sprites are friendly and dislike being on their own. They are forever shedding light pollen, which can be used to power holo-tech and other technology, such as the cloud machine. Melobees are bio-mechanical creatures which feed on the nectar of flowers. They produce a byproduct called melodies, which sound terrible. The melodies are refined and used in the creation of a shield's harmonics." In the background, the main character, a growbot with a little pig in the upper part of her head, stands in a room full of dark green plant growth with some mechanical bits above mushrooms and glowing crystals. Screenshot from Growbot: a lovely landscape resembling swampy forest ground with mosses, mushrooms, ferns and colourful flowers. There are a few ponds with light blue water to the left, and glowing crystals in the background. Next to the ponds, our growbot has found another growbot sitting on the ground. They have a flower in the upper part of their head, and the transparent material covering it is damaged. They say: "You'll need to transmute the melodies from the Melobees into exotic quanta. Then use it to create a new shield." Screenshot from Growbot: a message saying "Warning! Mind Synch request from an unverified source" with a prompt to reply with yes or no. The message is illustrated with two plant-like creatures with faces on their tubers, a single glowing flower growing out of them, and two lines connecting their flowers. They look very cute.

Screenshot from Frank and Drake: Drake, a pale androgynous-looking person with long dark hair, walks past a wall with weird but well-done street art. Two dark-haired men sharing a very long moustache? A crow between them, with what might be a chunk of food in its beak. In the background, the letters of the Latin alphabet are arranged like on an Ouija board. Screenshot from Frank and Drake: more street art. A run-down wall with a complex flower-power motive, in its centre the bright outlines of a young woman with long hair and big glasses. Text appears next to her: "I'm here to tell you that there's a badass flaky creature planning to take you on a really bad trip. I know this is far out and heavy, but you got to flake off as soon as you can and, till then, you'd better watch your back, honey." Screenshot from Frank and Drake: a visualisation of the potential and current bond between the two protagonists, from distant to neutral to close. Their current relationship is Strangers. Screenshot from Frank and Drake: inside an apartment. Drake is crouching down to pet Underdog, a dog with two legs and two wheels attached to his body. Drake says: "Hey, little fellow. Are you hungry? Frank didn't give you dinner? That's strange." (Underdog is a very good dog.)

Screenshot from 30 BIrds: The art style of this game is very special, it looks like colourful folded paper with Persian-inspired patterns and architecture. Here, we're in a public bath, on the top floor. A vaguely canine creature with three eyes is enjoying the water. Zig, the main character, is standing outside. The creature explains: "Simurgh is Queen of the Birds. If it is Her song that you follow, then you must find those that sing Her tune." Screenshot from 30 BIrds: Zig is about to switch from one side of a lantern to another one, with a 2.5 D effect. The lanterns of the game world are placed like tiny planets in dark space with clouds and stars, here visible to the left. In the foreground, there's some kind of tower or pole at the corner between the sides of the lantern. The design of the lantern is rather dark, but with some strong colours, depicting an urban space with old architecture and modern neon signs. Screenshot from 30 BIrds: Zig explores a book that she has to fix by placing lost fragments of a strange alphabet back where they belong. She reads: "The Scientist's Soul: Afraid of his own mortality, The Scientist hid his soul in a jar at the bottom of the ocean..." - There's a black-and-white illustration of the jar drifting through seaweed, with a fish side-eyeing it. Screenshot from 30 BIrds: another view of the edge of a lantern, to the left we can see space with another lantern in the background. Zig is standing outside the entrance of a large building, by a person dressed in a huge weird cape, waving their arms around. The person says: "Could I interest you in a membership to the temple of the almighty Gurubird?"

Screenshot from Mission: It's Complicated: a superhero mission to choose from, displayed in a booklet in front of a map background. It's titled "Witching Sour", and its description is "There are reports of a giant monster in Oldtown" Looks like something out of a horror movie. It doesn't seem to be going anywhere, but we can't be too careful." Two out of the five superheroes are selected to go on the mission. Wifi says: "I hope *she* isn't there", Riptide says: "I definitely don't got this!" - The player can choose to "ship it" or "skip it". The UI shows that it's Day 12 and mission time, and a news ticker reports that "superhero companies see 40% increase in profits despite skyrocketing health care costs". Screenshot from Mission: It's Complicated: a dialogue between Riptide and Zirkonia with a café setting in the background. Riptide says: "Mmm, I don't think so. Real people are scary. You never know how they're going to react. If you don't know what a videogame character's going to say, you can always look up a guide." - Zirkonia replies: "You can look up real people, too. You go to their social media accounts, discover they're awful, and then never speak to them again. That's like a guide." Screenshot from Mission: It's Complicated: Nightgaunt and Riptide on a coffee date. Nightgaunt, a "tall, dark and handsome" type dressed in black, is sitting at the table with a simple cup. He looks hesitant, but not uninterested. Riptide, a skinny guy with shiny blue water-hair, a large beanie, yellow-ish coat and jeans, is lying on his stomach on top of the seats like a cat. He's almost hovering over a fancy coffee drink with cream and chocolate sauce, and beaming at Nightgaunt. Screenshot from Mission: It's Complicated: another coffee date, with dialogue between Zirkonia and Zael. Zirkonia says: "You flirted on purpose." - Zael replies: "But I'm an alien. I don't understand these complex human interactions." - Zirkonia counters: "You're full of crap, Yizael. You know exactly what you're doing." - Zael: "That depends. Am I doing it well?"

The UI in the upper left informs that this is the Dot Garden, and a full bar with a heart symbol shows that its filled with Euphoria-themed plants. A round pop-up in the centre with colourful plants says "Composed Euphoria". Screenshot from Mutazione: a dimly lit, nautically themed bar with vague pictures and weird sea animals on the wall, an old-fashioned landline phone to the right and lush vegetation visible outside. Kai observes a conversation between the bartender and another villager. The bartender, Spike, has long brown hair tied together on top of his head and a full beard, casual clothing with a skull symbol on this chest. The person leaning onto the bar counter has grey hair covered by a black beanie, a full beard, bushy eye brows and underarms, and is wearing yellow overalls. He says: "... If she loved me, she'd follow me." - Spike replies: "You work on that definition of love you got there, pally." Screenshot from Mutazione: Kai vibing with her new friends. They are on a tiny island covered by vegetation and ruins of a relatively modern building, between large mangrove trees. Kai is standing by the coast next to the row boat they obviously arrived in, looking towards us. Tung, a large green-skinned creature, is fishing. Miu, a cat-like creature, is sitting on an old wall and leaning against a dead tree. In the foreground, a dark reptile-ish creature is swimming through the almost black water. Screenshot from Mutazione: a coastal scene with a lighthouse, a calm sea with rocks and a tiny island, a little sandy beach with tough, drought-tolerant plants, and a sunset-coloured sky. A very dark-skinned person in a white shirt and a skirt is sitting by the lighthouse, with Kai standing next to her and a symbol indicating that the player can start a conversation.

Two choices are given: "Scare the salamander", requiring a score of 18 in the Destruction ability, and Sneak by the salamander, requiring 18 Finesse. The upper left corner shows a character portrait with one remaining Action Point, no Movement Points, and the character's stats with symbols for Physique, Finesse, Knowledge, Creation, and Destruction, in addition to their gold. Screenshot from Baladins: bird's eye view of part of the map, several colourful caravans surrounded by forest and a river, with rocks and a bridge further away. A little standee of the character has arrived at the caravans. The UI shows it's week 1, the location is revealed to be Caravanners' Camp, and there's an option to enter or end the turn. Screenshot from Baladins: a mysterious-looking player character with hat, cape, and big glasses encounters a character with long white hair and simple clothes and a... vaguely humanoid character with a chicken head. They are standing by a fence with a lavender field behind it and trees and rocks in the background. A narrator says: "You take some time explaining to Half-Chicken why the soap makers have the right to demonstrate."
