Promotional artwork for the wholesome underdogs steam festival and Familar Findings game. The background has the words Wholesome Underdogs, and the date 9th - 16th March. It has 4 cartoon digs smiling on a grassy coloured background with flower petals floating around them. In the centre of the screen is the artwork for Familiar Findings, which contains the name of the game and three characters. It shows the main character Avia, who is holding a spellbook from which an orange and white cat is being conjured. There is also a red dragon flying and looking over Avia's shoulder.

We're taking part in the #WholesomeUnderdogs festival alongside some other amazing games. If you're into cozy, cute, wholesome games, this is the festival for you!

I want it. I want it. I want it. I’m waaaay too poor. If I get a high paying job MAYBE.

*ahem*

Three busts of NPCs from the left, a man with short dreads and gold jewelry wearing a brown vest with an orange cravat, another man with blue-black hair wearing a three piece with purple accents, and an elven lady with curly hair done up in a tight braid, she's wearing a maroon dress and has a pearl earring.

Am I just avoiding writing and coding by updating the sprites *for the third time*? Yes. Here's some of the NPCs you'll come across in Celestial Waltz, my otome VN inspired by my love of period dramas.

Browt with his little footie up like in the official art. Its a yellow chick pokemon with big eyes and sporting a sprout from its beak. It has its too tiny to fly wings up and beak open like it's about ready to throw hands.

I will never be able to play the new Pokemon Games since they're so expensive and I already can't afford a Switch 2 but I love this guy so have a pixel version. I love the others too but I had to draw him first.

I hate American Airlines (and my life right now tbh)

TL;DR: I am out a few hundred bucks because of the airline's godawful cancelation policy and the last week has been god awful for reasons I will not get into.

I just want to recoup what I lost if possible.

An early development screenshot of idle game Familiar Findings. On the left is some very basic 2D pixel art showing slimes. On the right, a selection screen for upgrades of various "monsters" with basic pixel art of slimes, beasts, undead, dragons, flora and demon monsters.

An updated screenshot of the current gameplay of Familiar Findings. The menu is now shaped like a book with tabs to open other pages. There is a selection screen where the user can choose between a dragon, a ghost or a two-tailed cat. On the right is a summoning circle. On the bottom of the screen are two baby dragons, a cat and a panda with a bamboo scarf. There is an elf-like witch in the bottom right screen in dragon armour with long white hair. A scroll above their head depicts the mana.

This #screenshotsaturday we're going to be a bit sentimental with the launch of the game on Monday. How it started vs. how it looks now!

The game has come such a long way in such a short amount of time and we can't wait for people to see it.

4 panel comic. Two bunnies walk through nature, sit on a bench and enjoy some coffee back at home. One says to the other “what a year we had”. The other replies “it’s February my love”

That time again

Everything for the game has really come together 🥹

This one was specifically designed for @jessewriting.bsky.social, my bestie who loves creepy horses.

lol this majestic creature was kind of a joke originally when I designed them but then I fell in love with it. I was giggling the whole time I was cleaning up the sprite.

There is a familiar that internally I called the Bnuuy but I can't 100% say it's a bunny. It's extremely cute with lop ears though.

Guess who's game is going to be launching in little over a week!! I hope you check out our cute idle desktop game. I want to hear which familiar is your favourite~ ✨

Hello everyone! I am looking for a writer that could help me bring an idea to life. This would be for an otome game, retweets are highly appreciated.

Here’s a little teaser for all the familiars you can have in the full game for #familiarfindings! I’ve worked so hard on all these little guys and I can’t believe I got them all done.

Can you guess what the silhouettes are?

“So we’re trying things across all departments” is so telling and makes me want to play their game less. There’s nowhere in the game that hasn’t been touched by GenAi. Cool, cool, cool, good to know.

A unicorn breaking a chain on its neck while jumping, over a yellow background with blue sparks over it, and its written "smash fascism" in hot pink over it

The energy I want to bring this year 👊💥

🧵 (1/3)

“But it’s only placeholder text 😭” there’s Loren ipsum for that.

“We’re using it for inspiration and concept art 😭” cool, so you’re putting skilled artist out of work and basing your game off slop.

If your concept isn’t worth hiring a human for it, it’s not worth playing.

Not sorry.

So angry.

One thing I really hate seeing on Steam is that studios who are using AI in the process of making games don’t put that in the disclaimer that is *mandatory*.

If you used AI to make your game, doesn’t matter that it’s not ended up in the final product, I don’t want to play your game.

Hey folks, I often do posts calling for indie developers to link me their games so I can signal boost them. Today I want to do something similar for all trans creatives.

If you are a trans game dev, artist, writer, streamer or YouTuber, reply here with a link to your work. Only one rule: no GenAI.💜
