some weeks you get lots of gamedev done and other weeks progress crawls forward and then you beat yourself up about it and that doesn't help so progress is even slower and this is all good and normal and healthy actually
I wanted to take a quick moment to shout-out my awesome friend @jumasoul.bsky.social, and all the various Calico art pieces they've made. It's been a delight having them on the dev team. :D
Indie crossovers are rad. I like seeing indie creators's blorbos interacting with each other.
I'm sure it's been pointed out before but I am officially subscribed to this Deltarune crackpot conspiracy theory Susie's Theme is being built up to be an alternate chorus to Megalovania when the time comes
It's kinda crazy how far this project has come in less than a year.
Ben@benjamage.bsky.social · 11mo agoIs that who I think it is? 👀
I can't even tell you how excited I am about this lil project. Lots to do!
Ben@benjamage.bsky.social · 2mo agoI know it's been a fair bit since I posted the Calico Wilder gameplay sneak peek, and it may still be a bit before we have a full trailer. But I can confirm, we've been making great progress since then, and I'm excited for when we're ready to show more. ^^ #CalicoWilder #indiegame #gamedev
made out of spite from a shaking living room under some neighboring thursday explosions for no good reason
Some TooManyGames highlights: - Running a double booth with @mrsleepyman.bsky.social - Seeing so many folks who had played earlier versions of Slime 64 - Watching kids as young as 3 years old try and have fun with the game - Debating Jesus of Nazareth about DK64 and Banjo-Tooie Always a blast!
🚨🚨 SLIME 64 IS COMING IN 2027 🚨🚨 It's a retro-inspired 3D collect-a-thon platformer with an emphasis on exploration and schmoovement. Play as elemental slimes who combine their powers, collect Bells & Whistles, and take down a robotic enterprise threatening the world!
I'm just some dude, this isn't financial advice but I don't trust this market one bit. Rebalanced tf out of my 401k to get as far away from tech as possible. Fixed income bonds mostly. obviously you can only insulate so much but had to put my money where my mouth is
In light of more cases of AI usage popping up in the game industry as of late, I wanted to take the opportunity to reaffirm: Calico Wilder *does not* and *will not* use AI. Everything my team and I do for this game is 100% human-made.
“yeah i can tell it was AI generated. how? just vibes, yeah. it has that certain gen-AI sais quoi”
kayin whenever a retro-inspired indie game opts for input leniency at the expense of historical accuracy

Kayin@kayin.moe · 3mo agoWe do sinful things, like let millennials think NES games had coyote time. We let them think their childhood was perfect, and smooth and without sharp edges. That is something I can never forgive.
my latest revelation especially for my games is that time spent agonizing over the architecture of a one-time use case is time spent Not Building That Use Case better to build something slightly sub-optimally and have it exist at all vs hemming and hawing
very very excited to be showcasing FLICKSHOT at @pigsquad.com's #PIGCON on saturday may 30, come visit my booth! for those who can't make it, FLICKSHOT will also be making an appearance at ground kontrol this thursday the 28th at 7pm!

i'm looking for work! if your game needs: - a cool dynamic expressive user interface/HUD - qa testing/bespoke debug tools - environment art - in-world logos/branding i'm your guy! prev projects: the big catch (& tacklebox), bigscreen VR, new world, state of decay 2 please help spread the word!
Per the recommendation (and viewing pleasure) of my friend @waveparadigm.com, I started playing a newer indie 3D platformer called Mr. Sleepy Man last night. This game is an absolute fever dream (affectionate).
@geoffkeene.bsky.social so like any old Thursday night I was playing The Dead Linger on Steam today and in making it to the end of the world saw a strange monolith in the distance made my way over and it was absolutely worth the trip long water tower says hello
This is an unbelievable deal on an excellent game.
Twirlbound@twirlbound.com · 6mo agoMaking a game as a little indie studio is hard, marketing it is harder! The best way you can support us is to play The Knightling, leave us a review, and share the game with your friends! And it's on a huge sale now!
