One of the #poems from the game

In #Gutterspace you increase your abilities by spending #emotion wisps on poems. What emotion you use can influence the ability you get in return.

Wishlist us on #Steam and help us start strong! #Demo coming soon.

This is exactly how we (@jamessmock.bsky.social and @tomtheborg.bsky.social) look when we play test #Gutterspace. This is turning into a fun co-op game.

Wishlist us on Steam and help keep up the momentum.

#Gutterspace will be made no matter what, its just to important to put down.

But if you ever wanted to #supportaveteran, this would be a good one. I don't need a hand out, just a hand up to make this dream happen.

Been putting so much heart into this with @jamessmock.bsky.social lately. The #poems are literally the #worldbuilding for our game... watching it take shape has been kinda wild.

Tittle & Dot 2 player controls is working! Still some polish to get that marionette vibe but I think it's looking good. More importantly its genuinely humor inducing when playing with 2 people 🤣

Little embarrassed to ask... but I need to raise some funds this month to pay bills now that I'm developing #Gutterspace full time.
Anything helps, and you'll be supporting a queer world, hand-drawn art, and a neurodivergent story.

Today I'm setting up tile maps in #Gutterspace.

...It's really a birthday gift to future Tom, who will now have a sustainable level construction process.

Gutterspace by Vantablack_Games Use your words!

Big step today: I’m setting up Gutterspace on itch and Steam.

Ive published games before (mobile) but nothing like this. It’s so exposingly personal, handmade, and us. A little nervous, honestly.

Keeping the momentum up! #RisingTideChallenge

look what @jamessmock.bsky.social found outside! 😂

Possible #Gutterspace inspiration??? I could totally see a fab hearse becoming a summonable character in the game. Also, I love my city. 🖤

Starting the day with some good old-fashioned code cleanup in #Gutterspace. 🧹
Removing the last traces of our old dice system (RIP DCE 💀🎲)

In lieu of a related visual here is something @jamessmock.bsky.social drew!

Not the 'lava lamp' like motion I want yet... but good enough for a stopping point.
@jamessmock.bsky.social invented and hand-drew a really 🔥 character, and I want to do them justice.

Any guesses what this new #Gutterspace character might be?

Hint: I have no bones, I have no glass… just heat, motion, and sass.

Reveal coming later today (if it works 😅)

🎥✨ Just got Glowy's movement + basic FX working. They are one of the summonable allies tied to the poems in #Gutterspace.

More importantly did the core code for summoning. It's been a fun day!
