This project was very fun. I felt like we were making a GBA title.

I would like to thank @microsoft for making tasks that used to be simple more difficult. No I will not use Hello Windows, One Drive or Copilot. Please stop trying. Fetch is not going to happen.

Just book marked it. I love a good indie focused game site. Keep it up, I like your writing style.

If you’ve ever wanted to hit vegetables with a sword, I have great news for you!

I looked at so many WW2 airplanes when designing the cockpit for the ship. I still really love how it (and the game) came out.

The Game Jam this was entered in said we couldn’t name it Butt Skunks. So… we didn’t.

Fishmonger Hut by ConManEd A new and updated version of a small little Fishing hut on a small island.

Well, what I thought would be a quick upgrade turned into a whole task. But I'm happy to announce that the Fishmonger Hut is done and you can download the update now! If you use it in a project let me know. I would love to the places it goes. #indiedev #gameasset #crocotile3D #blender

This game was born from a very bad dream I had. @petermjgross.bsky.social brought it to life with some amazing coding for the "problem" on the ship.

What started in #PicoCad had to be fixed in #Blender so the UVs were not jacked up in #Crocotile3D. I am getting close to finishing up the texture repaint. #indiedev #pixelart #lowpoly

Is your rotate in the gif an animated camera render? I really like how you show off your work in Crocotile

Over a year ago I entered a PicoCad comp and made a fishing hut. I imported it into #Crocotile3D and started redoing the textures. #pixelart #indiedev #fishing

Worldbuilding for (game) writers You could spend a decade building your game world! When is enough enough? Turns out your world doesn't have to be huge - it just has to make sense.

There's a difference between designing game worlds & experiencing them.

@thenarrativedept.bsky.social explains how identifying an environment's values can create worlds from the top down that are consistent from the bottom up.

Dolan's Cadillac by postgoodism, ConManEd A puzzle game based on "Dolan's Cadillac", a 1985 novella by Stephen King

Match-3 murder in the desert: Dolan's Cadillac is a PICO-8 game of murder, vengeance, and poorly marked road hazards.

Crocotile has very nice lighting/shadow tools. They can be set up to emulate ps1 vertex shading. It doest 100% look the same because it does math better than the PS1 gpu.

Wow! That’s excellent environment building.

With PicoSteveMo and life getting busy I have not had time to open RPG Maker in a while. Tonight I fixed that. #indiedev #pixelart #rpgmaker

Thursday, in Space by Bitterly Indifferent Studios An ordinary Thursday delivery run.

Ever dream of being a space delivery pilot? I am so happy how the first person pilot view turned out on this one.
@petermjgross.bsky.social
could only use a limited amount of words for this comp entry and did an amazing job! Give Thursday in Space a spin! #indiedev #interactivefiction

My Surface 4 that I use for on the go game development isn't Windows 11 compatible. It just threw up another full screen ad for a Copilot+ surface. Anyway, I am moving all my dev stuff onto a thumb drive then installing Linux #Mint

#PicoSteveMo 3 has come to an end. You can now play Christine Taxi! @petermjgross.bsky.social gave it words. I gave it pixels and our friend Cort gave it code. #indiedev

Submissions to PiCoSteveMo 3

A year ago you played Stand Elsewhere. At the end you asked someone to make a Christine based game for PicoSteveMo 3. So we did that for you. Enjoy.

Every drawing/pairing reaches a point where you suddenly hate hit. That is the point where if you push through it will suddenly come together. Then I’m the other side is something you will like. It’s a strange phenomenon I’ve had to endure far to many times in my art life.

Throw some shadows under the finger that crosses the bottom hand and under the A gap over the nose/upper lip area. You are at that strange push through moment where it’s better in the other side. But it’s good!

This looks fantastic! Love the Silent Hill feeling it has.
