Taking another stab at "cheesy" - and also, "flaming hot" - because sometimes you just want a flaming hot human torso. Or a flaming hot pile of puke.

@dunderbeckgame.com is there for you in those moments.

A hot dog? In this economy?! I divided all money by 10 - because a hot dog should probably not cost $3. Not that I can afford another at $0.30, either...

Item variants previously used only different sprites. The new system uses particles and tone mapping for a consistent, expandable visual language, as shown here with the "cheesy" variant.

I love my work. (With @alexbpart.bsky.social)

Discussing Dunderbeck After Dark. The saucy, unreleased, unannounced (oops), purely fictional DLC for the equally unreleased game, @dunderbeckgame.com.

This mug is one of my favorite things that we sell on the #RUST store - the mythos of Jerry the Lemon is one of my most loved narratives in #H3VR - make sure to scream to the citric celestial after you drink your cup of lemon juice. That's what normal people enjoy in the morning, right? #IndieGames

Alternate view - I dunno where she found that missile...

I've been having a lot of fun playing with #legos lately - I made a magpie!

She just found a new shiny thing - oops! Look out!

With my birthday coming up, I'm reflecting on what I've learned and let go. My coding and art skills continue to grow, but my patience for web dev (once my focus) is fading. It's odd, realizing past me (who knew this stuff) is a different person. Still, I'm super happy I chose to lean into game dev.

@cincinnatizoo.bsky.social - flaming poo bulls, when?

Back around the turn of the century, the @cincinnatizoo.bsky.social was a whole other kind of wild.

In @dunderbeckgame.com, our zoo-inspired level probably won't have a "butcher's day" but it *will* have bonnacons.

For all of the joking about @dunderbeckgame.com being nominated for "Best in Simulation" at #TMG2025, it turns out the game may have been more simulation than I had thought (Taken from Greg Hand's book, "Cincinnati Curiosities")

Look at those silhouetted items! I'm really liking the way this is shaping up.

The almanac in @dunderbeckgame.com is a real important part of the gameplay and it's been neglected for too long. BUT NO MORE. YOU WILL BE PRETTY SOME DAY. And that day is today!

Gah nothing is better than racking your brain on how to illustrate something with an icon and then realizing you already made an entire icon set - not only for that one item, but for the whole problem space.

Thanks, past me - you're the best!

Hey @snoozykazoo.com - I wanna add a mandrake to @dunderbeckgame.com and a certain lovable scamp of an anthropomorphic root vegetable came to mind; do you happen to have: An attack sound, a hurt sound, and a... Uh... Hurt. To. Completion? Sound? for #TurnipBoy? Asking for a friend 💖
June 21, 2025 at 8:14 PM
A huge thank you to @tmgexpo.bsky.social for featuring @dunderbeckgame.com on their steam event!

Please! Wishlist today!

Or, wait until June to play it at #TooManyGames where we can chat in person about grinding magical creatures into sausages - and THEN wishlist it!

(Also demo coming soon!)

Post a creature from your game, and its inspiration.

It was awesome being booth neighbors, @snoozykazoo.com - and thanks for the Chef, @yukonmakes.games - I'll catch y'all around! Hot dog / turnip crossover when?

All set up for #godotcon tomorrow! Swing by The Garage tomorrow or Wednesday and find out how the sausage is made! #godot #godotengine #indiegames #screenshotsaturday

Its attack pose is based on Wolverine from the the #SNES game, "X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse" - its arms and legs are a lot stubbier though 😅

To go along with our Rat King, I present - the "Rat Prince" - the mini boss for the sewer levels in @dunderbeckgame.com

I feel like #GameDev is the ultimate test of "Is my sense of humor *at all* appreciated by other people without the affliction of being me?"

I think the bus driver's speech being entirely beeps is real fun. I'm sorry if you don't.

He's gonna get all the bones.

Psst, #Boston - wanna check out my horrible sausages? Looks like @dunderbeckgame.com will be showing at #GodotCon this May!

The quick pitch: Grind magical creatures into sausages in this frantic inventory management auto-battler, set in the mystical land of Cincinnati, Ohio.
