STOP. This is a selfie checkpoint. You must repost with a cute selfie to proceed.

wrapped up work on our game's debut trailer 🫡 can't wait to show it off!
two frames from parks and recreation where ben shows off a stop motion doll from a short he made while off work and depressed. there is a video editing timeline placed on top of the doll in both frames. frame 1: "i mean, look at what i've accomplished." frame 2: "do you think a depressed person could make this?"

i'm doing my part 🫡

there's this character we made called panchito that's based on a famous sea lion from here in valdivia and EVERYONE loves him. especially kids!

well, turns out... he's got a zipper on his back 🤐
the animation is short so it's kinda hard to spot but someone is bound to notice
character selection screen from the videogame don pepe y sus globos, highlighting player one that is selecting the character panchito. panchito is a creature that resembles a sea lion cropped screenshot of the videogame don pepe y sus globos showing the character panchito in his roll animation, which reveals a zipper on his back. this animation is very quick so it's easy to miss.

just came back from SurPixel 2025 festival in Concepción, and our currently in development game "Don Pepe y sus globos" won 2nd Place at their 2D / 3D Indie Videogame showcase!!! 🤩

super proud of the team for our work so far but the best is yet to come 🫡

no context artisanal meme
a man pointing at another man dressed as a clown. this meme format usually includes the text 'tuere el wason' (youre the joker) or 'tuere el balatro', but for undisclosed reasons this one has the prince of all cosmos' face overlaid on the clown along with the word 'katamari' so that the text now says 'tuere el katamari' (youre the katamari)

still kinda surreal to be presenting both our game and the movie it's based on to a packed audience at my local independent theater 🥹

Quedamos muy felices con la Global Game Jam Valdivia 2025 😁 Los participantes desarrollaron 12 juegos super diferentes en torno al tema de este año: burbuja 🫧

Fue muy gratificante organizar la jam en Valdivia luego de que no se hiciera el 2024, y esperamos poder seguirlo haciendo en el futuro 🫡🎮

in a very different vein: do you guys have a favorite emoji? but like... the specific one from whatever version / phone brand it belongs to

google noto color head shaking vertically is unmatched

my team and I are hosting the local Global Game Jam site this year! it's been TONS of work but we're fortunate to have good help from the local community and previous organizers

super tired of planning and setting up stuff but it's gonna be a blast! also here's our poster 🤩

putting the year after a title really does make it feel legit, huh

Sounds good?"
