Also if your game has a cute animal it must be pet-able.

Hello sir/miss Mango.

Tough question! This maybe a boring answer but it's important to try and balance between your ambitions as a creator (make dream game) and your needs as a person (basically money).

If your job does both that's ideal. Otherwise either split your time or alternate goals 👍

To all my followers: I'm so glad to finally give you all a closer look at Penguin Festival gameplay, and clearer launch details.

I know the wait is long, so thank you all for your ongoing support!

This guy did all the music for our game and is crazy talented.
You should grab him before he gets super busy again.

I did it! I made a video game. Introducing Star Captain 32767, a retro-arcade shooter with rogue-lite elements, inspired by games like Galaga and 10000000. The game is free, but if you enjoy it I would really appreciate a small donation!

Aww! I loved working on that alien, was really cool to see what y'all did hooking up his tech.

AI Copyright for Game Developers The US Copyright Office has just released guidance on AI-generated materials in games - learn what is copyrighted and what isn't.

Here's an interesting summery of the 2025 Copyright Office guide to Generative AI and Game Development. If you make games this applies to you and your competition now.

Honestly pretty mixed feelings... seems like there's good news and bad news for creatives here.

Lol if I drew a Tom & Jerry comics for 30 years I'd probably be desperate too make the gritty adult Mad Max version too.

For real tho cool animation.

Sandwiched between large commercial buildings in the heart of Shibuya (渋谷), Japan: what looks like the front of a church but is actually a nightclub with loud music and bouncers dressed as nuns.

Church themed night club in Shibuya... Enjoy sick beats audible from down the block. Respect the bouncer nuns ✝️🏴‍☠️✝️.

Happy Merry Xmas Hanukkah クリスマス etc everyone!!!

Crane machine in Akihabara, Japan. Rabbit plushies have all been placed with their faces against the wall or ground like some creepy scene in a horror movie. なぜ？？

Why are they all facing the wall?? What did they do?!?

A hillside in rural Japan, fortified by concret in a lattice pattern that looks surprisingly similar to collision geometry if you're a big game development nerd. 格好いい！

Me on vacation: Lol the devs didn't hide the collision geometry on that hillside 😆

Wife: Reallllly can't turn it off can you 😑

There's something magical about the instant camaraderie when you're struggling to learn a second language, and you meet someone fluent who's struggling to learn your first language, and you just chat like happy brain damaged children for a while.

Crane game in Japan that appears to be full of prescription drugs... But probably made of plastic... Like toy drugs. For kids. I think.

Man I love crane games, they really do have just forests of em in Japan, I think I sh... Hold up wtf is this???

Little octopus guy

Post a pic you took to add some calm to the timeline

Furry wolf being furry on a throne for furries drinking a cappuccino.

Experiment: Repost same image with a Furry tag instead.

Big anthro illustrated wolf sitting on a throne of gold and skulls. Drinking a tiny cappuccino.

This guy never got much traction on the other site, maybe it'll do better here.
Art style inspired by the Hades characters which I love. Big guy with little cappuccino for fun.

Yikes creepy 😬

I assume
Phase 1: bots run for a while to make accounts look legit and build followers.
Phase 2: bots perform actual purpose of paid advertising or propaganda.

Also lol at that third background pic of hands somehow impossibly grasping controller backwards.

Sketch of a large building in three point perspective. Kanji on the side, 学, means "learning", more or less.

Finished a Japanese language course last week. Super nice people.
Made a sketch of the building with a little thank you note for the teachers.

Trying out my Japanese with restaurant server. Going well.

Him: How long are you staying in Japan?
Me: About one month.
Him: Really?!
Me: Yeah!

He stops speaking to me.

8 hours later: Oh wait shit I said I'm staying for one hour. 🤦

A black and white sketch of a cute chinchilla, signed by the author.

A photo of a chinchilla in a little chinchilla shaped chinchilla house.

Saw a chinchilla at a pet store in Fukuoka, reminded me of this old sketch.
These guys are impossibly fluffy.
