Made a motivational poster for spawning salmon😌
A salmon majestically leaps up a cascade of water. The inspiring words "Live, Laugh, Lay eggs and die" are written in script over the picture. The salmon has a look in its eye that says: If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best.

I'm not sure how much time of my life it takes to test everything a player could do searching for bugs

I need your help! My bunny-filled greenhouse management game is releasing in two weeks and I'm trying to garner more attention on steam. If you could like and retweet it would mean so much to me! #indiedev #gaming #bunnies #plants #indiegamedev

PSA: if you play video games and you really really suck at playing video games you’re just as much of a valid gamer to me and I’d be happy to make games for you.

I said goodbye today to River, who most of you know as Fallout 4’s Dogmeat. Heartbroken doesn't cover it, but I won’t eulogize her here. For twitter, I thought it'd be appropriate to look back at her impact on that game. (plus, writing about game dev hurts less than grieving)

Seeing all these tweets about how beautiful the moon is is giving me serious Local 58 vibes, and I'm terrified.

One of my biggest regrets was never becoming a dad. In my generation, coming of age in the 50s and 60s, it just wasn't something very available to gay men, even those in couples. But I'm happy I could still be "Uncle George" to so many.

So, ever heard that one of the strengths of Unity is the big asset store? "Well you can look in there for anything! it makes game development so much faster!" Yeah about that. This came from in there. It claimed it was safe to use. I started squinting at textures and... o i c.

Hey, I thought it would be fun to dust off this "old" project and see if I can squeeze something more out of it. What do you think? #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity

So, I followed along to a Bob Ross video with @TheBeeKween and friends today in Aseprite, and it turned out wayyyyy better than I was expecting. Detail work was a little finnicky, but I'm actually proud of how it came out! youtube.com/watch?v=lLWEXRAn…
A pixel-art rendition of the Bob Ross episode of Island in the Wilderness. Happy little trees, a blue river, a red and blue sky, and some shrubbery adorn the landscape.
