Making Penguin Festival's VR gameplay trailer was really challenging, but also fun and rewarding. Here's a little postmortem for my own posterity but also in case anyone else finds it helpful!

Which Beedee is your favorite? Beedee has changed so much since the original concepts. That is part of the development process, the characters get to learn who they are.

Sorry, I haven’t been around much today. I came down with something this morning and haven't had a good day. I did find this cool mashup. 😻😎

It's been 1 year since we released the Shroom and Gloom prototype!🎉
Created over 3 months, the prototype was created to asses the viability of turning Shroom and Gloom into a full game.
Here's how it turned out, alongside the OG jam game made in 10 days:

Having a blast watching my wife play Dynasty Warriors: Origins. We're both old hat to the series (4 and 5 specifically), but further sequels disappointed us.
Hearing that Origins only had a single playable character made us skeptical, but I'm really glad we gave it a try!

To describe how fickle I am, a single positive comment on an old video was enough to get me to boot up the old video editor and make some more #ProblemSleuth content.
It's a reading I do of this webcomic, plus sfx and music. You can find the playlist here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0IG...

Here's a weird optical illusion I found while modelling: the two black lines in the center are completely straight, yet there's this bulge in the middle. :'V #3dmodelling #gamedev #indiedev

Used to see a lot of 3D art back on Twitter, glad to see others like @molegato keeping it going on other platforms. If you haven't played their game Frogun yet, go grab it on steam! Great, classy platformer. #wireframewednesday #blender #blender3d #stardustsurvivors #indiedev #gamedev #frogun

Good luck to all the authors doing World Book Day visits this coming week! I’ve made us a bingo card. First one to get all nine wins a ten-page form which finance suddenly reveal you must complete before they’ll pay your invoice! Happy travels!

Shrapnel + Bombshell & Boosta are completed!
After 2 months being sick, I really needed a refreshing experience! 😁
I'm happy I pushed myself with 3D, and... thanks again to all of you believing in me! 😊

I’m 34 now! Depression is striking, but we can’t let that stop us from Making (for long)! Bounder Games has been active for a good 10 years, and we’ve still yet to release a fully-featured game (beyond a simple puzzler, Combo Carts). #indiedev #gamedev #boundergames #indiegamedev

Wildly different characters (Quark, Dr Nefarious, Andrew Ryan) who share the same actor: Armin Shimerman.

I don't really play Hearthstone anymore, but I've always loved it for the different ways it portrays the World of Warcraft. I love Mean Streets of Gadgetzan so much that I wish it was a part of WoW (I'd love to make a Starcraft 2 mod inspired by it, but I'll talk about that later). #hearthstone
