Some long overdue visual improvements to the actual, physical alchemy bench. It's a bit of a different take for how alchemy benches usually look, but I wanted to focus on the visual aspects of the ingredients, whereas too many games grind them into visually unrecognizable powders. #gamedev #pico8

I'll never understand the AI art people on here who just like, post some facsimile of a painting and all the other AI art people comment like "Nice!" or "Looks great!".

Like, do you also complement search engines when they display results? "Nice query bro! You sure searched that web!"

I'm still working on my plant game! In this dev update, I've put together the first version of the screen where the player can pot and grow certain plants they want more of.

As the player learns more about the world, it will become evident they will need to focus on certain plants #gamedev #pico8

Just finished my playthrough of Tunic. It's a masterpiece of game and world design. Secrets layered within secrets, all laid at your feet throughout your entire journey without you even realizing. The level of care and craft that went into this game is a level unlike anything I've ever played. 10/10

My potion mixing game now has a relatively clean UI behind it now! The tray really makes it feel like you're pulling ingredients out of a drawer, and the heads-up display gives the alchemist info about their ingredients. Now I just need to work on element positioning 😅 #pico8 #indiedev #gamedev

Messing around with a new potion-mixing game idea I've had. Doing text in Pico-8 is rough, but it's getting me to think about the things I take for granted in web design, and how I'd implement them from scratch if I had to. #Pico8 #indiedev

Curious how the creators of Persona, Nino Kuni, Palworld, Borderlands, and more will respond to this. I know Nintendo is litigious AF, but surely they can't expect to win *all* those lawsuits.... Right?

This is the first particle emitter I've ever made. It's not perfect, but it feels organic and alive. #indiedev #pico8

Maybe I'm new to the field and haven't had the chance to network a bunch, but am I right that it feels like most of the people who get into game development usually come from an arts perspective? I see more pixel artists learning to code than software devs learning to draw 😅 #indiedev

You can now toggle switches in my cat game! Switches toggle electrical wires, which simultaneously power devices, but also can harm the player. #pico8 #indiegamedev #gamedev

Just started learning game dev, so here's a clip from my first short game. It's a platformer about being an asshole cat. #pico8 #caturday

This is Zinga. She's nearly 12 but she still gets some pretty serious zoomies.

RFK Jr said he wants to send folks who are taking antidepressants and ADHD medications to "wellness farms" in rural America where they will be forced to labor by growing organic food to "cure their addictions."
