Things are coming together quite fast on this game recently 🎉🎉

What would you expect to see in an:
📈Incremental
🐀Monster Tamer
⚔️RPG

I have some wild ideas I want in, For boss fights I want small Wario-Ware style minigames which can make the fights easier for active players

I love seeing people make amazing and cool art in programs like Paint. You don't need the biggest fanciest software, you just need creativity!

My first one was a bunnelby so I feel this pain: 😬
Second was an aggron which looks exactly the same as the non shiny: 🙃

One of the best things/decisions in my art career has been to let go of the idea that I have to learn to paint as realistic (style wise) as possible :3

Might I also add that initial 'career advice' came from TEACHERS.
Those are great career paths but what was suggested to students at my high school was very gendered.

At 13, wanted to be a pilot, was told that women can't fly planes.
Was told I could be a hairdresser, nurse or teacher.
(Heckin' yikes).

'Rebeled' and went to join the army, got super sick after my OSB. Mum suggested I study animation online.

Got a graduate job in games, it's now my home💖

Mental Health and Videogames | Developer Interviews There's been plenty of research on how games can affect mental health, but what about games for mental health? We interviewed some developers doing just that.

How can videogames address and support mental health? 🧠

Sharing her own story, @scree.bsky.social caught up with four Aussie indie game devs to find out how their creations discuss emotion, anxiety, and everyday challenges.

A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' 
The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross.
The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

A small black and white comic. The comic shows me in four stages. 

At the beginning I am lurched over in my office chair, prepared to work hard. A speech bubble says: 'Okay. Time to lock in and-.' My cat's head is peeking up from around my lap.

In the second part, my cat has started to crawl into my space. I look down at her, but am still distractedly saying: 'Time to lock-'

In the third part my cat is starting to make herself comfortable on my chest, where she likes to be. I am succumbing, looking off in the distance saying: 'To-'

By the fourth section, I have fully surrendered. She is sleeping on chest. It's all over.

In a desperate attempt to have the last word I need to inform everyone that Layne is incredibly knowledgable about all of those tiny little mostly unknown details that will make your game and your pipeline much better.

He also makes very good, project specific, memes.

Seven years as a florist before game dev didn't at all prepare me for this!💐
I got to help with some rigging for The Florist recently and its been so great!
(Shared Layne's post cause any chance to shout out one of the most talented and thoughtful devs I've ever worked with!)

Give it a wishlist!

After an amazing 3 Days at #PAXAus2025 where I have a heart exploding with appreciation for everyone who help get us there, support us and visit and play/wishlist our lil game. Here's a little round up of our Silk Soar Stats. #indiegames

To everyone rolling straight from #migw into SXSW, sincerely, how?
I'm sorely out of spoons but I loved every moment of MIGW!

At least 14 'hear me out' cooked game ideas were discussed.

So many new games friends made.

Hundreds of people stopped by at pax to play our little caterpillar game💖

I think people think that art taking a long time to learn means like a month or maybe a year and not an ever expanding process that progresses with you the entirety of your time drawing. You don't "finish" getting good at art because that's not the freaking point.

We are taking our tenacious little caterpillar to PAX thanks to the support of our wonderful community!
I'm so honoured that the team has trusted me with the visual identity of Tumbles and his world.
Come say hi and play our cute rage game about the importance of perseverance.
