"I'm putting together a team..." - me, to the eggs in the supermarket as I assemble an unbroken dozen from multiple boxes.

I love the capacity video games give you to explore your wildest dreams and loftiest goals. Just then in Cyberpunk 2077 I bought a one-bedroom apartment!

Experimenting with #bitsy tonight, made micro game where you pat a room full of different dogs. #gamedev #indiegame #goodestboys

At ALT: GAMES festival in Parramatta today with @camdotturnbull.bsky.social, checking out some incredible local talent. Anybody else around?

Character portrait of a young woman. She has long hair on one side, with a shave head. She has a stack of piercings in her ear, and more in her nose.

A while ago I decided to pick up the tools and commit to making some character concept art for one of the games @alexnobodyfamous.bsky.social and I are working on.

What do we think her name is?

Me to my players:

- "How did you roll?"
- "Oh my god, so good."

About to participate in my very first game jam! Rolling out the first two days (roughly 33%) of "Clipped" for the occasion.

One of the joys of working on this latest game is the opportunity to revive some great tracks from years of sound designing theatre. Some really beautiful songs have found their way into this thing: where they'll be shared and enjoyed and not simply pickled on a hard drive. #music #gamedev

At the very least, they go to the same barber...

Station chief Muttonchops: rallying the staff and resolving disputes one doorway-lean at a time. (Clipped is coming soon to itch.io)

Shout out to the unsung heroes of #gamedev, like this small Lego tower I put on my desk when I have to remember... something...

Wanderstop is gorgeous, even if Boro is giving me big Judge Holden vibes. #cozygame #tea #hesaysthathewillneverdie

Briefly distracted in my last meeting by the comforting pop-up of a Steam download completing. Have been waiting for Wanderstop for a while now; thrilled the day is finally here! (Even if the time to play it is still some hours away.)

If you're just getting started on #TTRPG Bluesky, I made a pretty popular starter pack for you to check out, which includes a bunch of super cool TTRPG-related accounts for you to get started.

(To be fair, it was mostly me.)

"I don't know games, so I can't tell if the problem is you or it's me..." - treasured feedback from well-meaning parent.

Took a break from writing/coding to plan out my sophomore #solodev project. Turns out it needs 12 original songs...

I don't know the particulars of the dilemma, only that the solution is the stage name "Trolley Throblem".

"What's the most you've ever lost on a shell toss?"

Been teaching myself pixel art for the next game. Clipped is about rock 'n' roll, impeccable taste and service of the glorious State.

This looks sensational.

Split The Party. by alexnobodyfamous Love horror? Hate parties? Welcome...

First fixes for "Split The Party." implemented after the initial feedback round. Huge thanks to all who have given our baby-steps game a go. (And a nudge of encouragement for anybody looking to kill fifteen minutes with a text-heavy horror romp...)

What did I do last week?

- Wasn't a fascist.
- Wasn't a fascist.
- Wasn't a fascist.
- Three loads of laundry.
- Wasn't a fascist.

1986 — moving America towards a fascist theocracy was in the works. Should’ve listened more to Frank Zappa 👇🏼

Somehow the low quality of this gif enhances the joke.

A few words on my journey as an indie developer, and as one coming from a non-tech, non-games background.
