Back to Basics: Translating Your Invisible Marketing Foundation into Visibility Many devs love to skip all the behind-the-scenes marketing prep work that no one publicly sees. Traditional marketing best practices can seem obtuse or even useless when you do not understand the bene...

The GDC talk I did with @dtrebella.bsky.social about the foundational “boring” behind-the-scenes marketing work is FREE on the Vault! 🎉

Unrelated to any particular game, I was playing with figuring out the new Radial UVs node in Blender and managed to make some *really fun* repeating patterns using some repeating textures I had made.

Got this effect by lerping between different color ramp sets via a mask being rotated.

Okay, yeah. I'd call this a real stage now.

Thanks!! Big shoutouts to @jasperrlz.bsky.social for that one. This post is like 8 years old but I reference his breakdown on Super Mario Sunshine water *all the time*.

There's a video he did on Mario Galaxy's version of it too on YT, highly recommended.

Dipping my toes into lowpoly environment art and channeling my best Dreamcast look for Ukemi.

I'm new at it, but at least the skills kind of apply still.

Skeleton of your favorite Pokemon!!

Tumble (the dice block character from Mario Party 3) states "I pretend I do not see it" with his eyes closed and his hands pressed together.

Also, this meme was boring its way into my brain and would stick there unless I did this, so have a bonus image

Hey it's #Mar10 Day!

Here, have Tumble

He's the host from Mario Party 3, my personal favorite Mario Party! All of his character writing begins and ends at "happy lil' guy" but I still kind of adore his design to this day.

Thanks!! It was really fun to make, even if those robot arms made things pretty complex haha

There was a Muhyo meme going around about "wow I'm so proud of this art but OH NO I FORGOT TO POST IT" and I was like "yeah that could never be me"

And then I realized I finished this art and I never posted it.

Octo-Girl fanart, from that Dr. Octopus Spider-Man manga.

#blender #b3d #spider-man

Oh man, I've never even HEARD of this one 👀

Thanks! Just chuggin' away one small bit at a time. This one's a pretty big milestone, so I think I'm gonna get to do a bunch of art for a little while for once haha.

Okay so generally all I've REALLY been doing for the last 3 months is coding rollback AABB collisions from scratch for my platfighter and it took until TODAY to get proper collision & 1-way platforms working. Feeling pretty proud.

Sammy I know this isn't helping but it's literally the best handheld I've ever owned. GameNative has broken me.

I've got Steam, GOG, Epic, any arbitrary exe I desire, and my entire collection of ripped games on a single device

It's over for me.

....Anyways good luck with that.

Pyrite64 - N64 Engine & Editor [Release] YouTube video by HailToDodongo

A super easy to use game engine for Nintendo 64 released! ✨ I tried loading in my #gameassets to see if they're compatible but it seems they'll need some manual adjusting, hope that gets fixed in the future.

I'm still bad at posting updates, but I finished that jam. You can play it here! spex130.itch.io/cupids-30-love

I'm real real proud of all the smooth level transitions, and the fact that I finished at all lol

#gamejam #godotengine

Oh, I'm still working on that game jam. It's like....80% done now? Just gotta get content up and running. Blocks disappear, enemies despawn - I just need to hook it all into a gameloop.

#godotengine #gamejam

OOOH OKAY it's FINALLY here!! SUPER excited to see this game go live!

I worked with director Cordell and art lead Izzy on #ProjectM / #ProjectPlus WAY back in the day and lemme tell y'all this game is LEGIT. I've played it.

#Platsky, do yourself a favor and toss this one some cash, it'll be worth

Okay, time to get back at it. Joined a 2-week game jam halfway through so I'm keeping the scope small.

Arkanoid, but make it Valentines Day Tennis. Let's see what I get done.

Indie Fighter Air Dash Online Hits Kickstarter and Steam Greenlight, Gets Playable Prototype

Like, it's legit. A Kickstarter-funded attempt at an online-only eSports focused platform fighter that went live 13 years ago, with Icons lauch being 9 years ago. I had the hardest time even finding anything about this, it's mostly been forgotten nowadays.

www.dualshockers.com/indie-fighte...

The charactar cast of Air Dash Online, mostly being a vague assortment of white people wearing teal with a red skinned demon man and a furry tiger kid in the back.

Okay, so I've been seeing that AsumSaus #SmashBros Icons: Combat Arena video "How (not) to clone a classic" making the rounds.

Yeah sure, Icons was pretty infamous, but it actually reminded me of an earlier attempt at the same thing from 4 (!!!) years before that.

Anybody remember Air Dash Online?

the anime sfx-making tool! It's called ANIMEVOX, in big letters up top. Then there's the controls: In vertical pairs: Left: Pitch Rise Rise speed Reverb Room size On the right: Wobble Speed Wobble Amount Tone Brightness Volume Next is a row of keys: Randomize - randomizes the sound parameters UNDO/ REDO - go back to parameters you liked Export Wav - self explanatory, it saves a copy of the latest sound to your hard drive. Then the fun buttons, with cute art styles: IMPACT, sparkle, beam, powerUP, PON, BOOM, slash, woosh Each produces a preset sound, which then goes through the fx chain. Hope you enjoy it!

I made a tool that makes retro anime sound effects. Meet AnimeVox!
I made it for a game, but it's free to use.

I'm using the forgotten (but popular in 80s japan) Schroeder reverb algo, and some wobble.

If you find it useful consider supporting me on itch :)

A brand new action platforming adventure game by @metagamemike.bsky.social

➡️ www.homebrew-factory.com/game-boy/165...

If I disappear for another few weeks it's because the official bsky platform started asking for verification PII and I had to find an unofficial client that I liked lol

Lemme tell ya though that week I was scrounging for an app and didn't have social media was GREAT for my productivity haha

Planet Jellham is home to a complex network of naturally forming hardened jelly tubes, used by the local fauna to get around.
Might as well catch a ride while you're exploring in our free, upcoming Metroidvania!

Came here to say this, actually

So +1 to Ristar!

I love this design!

That's slick how the nerves grow those spine bone things, that's ✨so cool✨

We're releasing the game we've slowly been working on around our day jobs for free at the start of next year! ✨ My first time working on a game. I learned so much from the team and made so many mistakes. So grateful for their patience. 😆 But such a fun experience and looking forward to the next one!

*Please please please*

If you have any questions, ask away

I LOVE talking about how to make stuff, let's figure it out together!
