At my daughter's request, you can now select your character in Sally's star racers! My daughter designed two of the characters, and Hungry Harry makes a guest appearance! #pico8

Congrats! Can’t wait to play it!

We've done it. We've just hit the release button on our biggest game yet...

DEMON TIDES IS OUT NOW ON STEAM! AHHHHH!

An open world platforming adventure full of mysteries, challenges and a ton of customization! Express yourself through the movement and explore the oceans!

So exciting! I started playing Demon Turf for the first time two days ago and it’s super awesome that I get to experience the excitement of a follow-up launch without having had to wait four years!

Pog point recreation with Beebz and Midgi. Pointing at the Steam launch button.

Alright folks, I need y'all to scream as loudly as you can about Demon Tides in a few hours.

After four years of passionate work, we're about to hit that launch button!

🙂 👿 😡

I swear, Gimmick 2 gives me the same dopamine hit that Celeste does. It’s downright punishing but also very forgiving with checkpoints.

Added some more movement options

There are some great resources on the Lexaloffle site! The PICO-8 zines in particular are great to print off and learn from.

@playtonicgames.com Got a weird little soft lock to report!

Loving Replaylee, by the way! :)

Ahhhh I didn't expect it to be this cute! I messed around with Line2D more and turns out it's the most underrated node in the entire Godot engine! #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot #cozygame

I signed Little Rocket Lab back in November 2022!

Finally coming in 5 days, unbelievably excited to get it out there.

Such a long time coming, and it's *genuinely* one of the best games I've ever played

That's me done for today. 256 rooms defined so far, just another 256 to go. GFX are subject to change, but looking OK for me so far ;)

Quality of life Limited lives used to be a staple of video games. Until we got rid of them as a Quality of Life change. Until they came back again when we realized it's not that clear cut

wrote about quality of life game design stuff

started working on a new game with @holypersondev.bsky.social.

something something animal crossing, but also colony management and automation??? #gamedev #unity3d

I think we can all agree that every dev on every platform must post at least one blazing hot take about Silksong. To fail to do so would be to remove oneself from the frontlines of Important Discourse™️.
