I'm a game developer currently working on my first game, "Whiskerwood Vale", a lowpoly 3D platformer made in Godot! I stream work on the game daily on YouTube and Twitch! http://linktr.ee/whiskerwoodvale
In 2017 Universal wanted to start their cinematic "Dark Universe" with a Mummy movie. During the production I was chosen as background artist for a companion game, developed in just 8 months crunch. The movie wasn't just bad but considered worst movie of the year which destroyed the games sales.
My current contract is ending this month and I'm once again available for work! Part-time or full-time. I've been a freelancer in games for well over a decade, and I bring a lot of energy to the projects I'm on! Need an extra pair of hands? Let's talk! maenots.carrd.co contact: maenots@gmail.com
Mae@maenots.bsky.social · 3mo agoHowdy! I'm Mae, a freelance gamedev! If your project's in need of a creative lead, level designer, pixel artist, producer, or just generally *whatever* - chances are I can do it! I'm also currently available for work! Let's make some cool games together! <3 #portfolioday #pixelart
Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of
Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · last wk.AI is now the biggest investment in all of US history as a percentage of GDP. Datacenter construction is up, all other construction is down. "AI Is Squeezing Out the Rest of the Stock Market," reported WSJ 2 days ago. We basically bet the whole economy on the most optimistic visions panning out.
BroodStar also has an absolute banger of a soundtrack made by the talented @leissmusic.bsky.social The range she puts on display here is ridiculous. Give it a listen even if you're not interested in the game! leiss.bandcamp.com/album/broods...

The first game I ever made, BroodStar (yes, it's named after the MtG card) is currently on sale for 50% off! It's a shmup roguelite that's easy to get into if you're new to both genres but also has a high skill ceiling for those who aren't. store.steampowered.com/app/1232100/...
Haven't been here in a bit, and I'm sorry about that. But it was for a good reason! SCOPECREEP is now officially coming out November 16th! Tell your friends/parents/lovers/pets! I'm so excited, hope you are too! #gamedev #indiedev #godot #releasedate #incremental
One of my best friends and among the coolest humans I've ever met is struggling and reaching out for help. They're a great artist and hardworking but unfortunately suffering some really bad luck and a hard time finding work due to AI replacing jobs that they'd love to be working themselves.

That's cool. I'm sure all the BitReactor devs that were furloughed weeks before launch are gonna see some of that $50 million... right? Residuals are standard in other creative industries. If the people who actually made the game got their share of the profits, we wouldn't be in this mess.
IGN@ign.com · 3w agoStar Wars Zero Company is estimated to have sold 1 million copies, with the majority of those sales coming from Steam, which Alinea Analytics' Rhys Elliott estimates has generated around $50 million since last month’s launch. https://bit.ly/4xKTiku

They fired so many artists over this too. People who helped make the game iconic were tossed out on the street because the Slop Faucet could do it "decent enough". If you still play Fortnite, you're funding the hyper-acceleration of AI replacing Artists in Gaming

a new music video from STONE BOGUS is on its way. its by far the most ambitious video I have made. I learned blender so I could fulfill the ideas I had for it. stay tuned
Working on 2D and 3D card effects! The game can handle 750 of the 3D version before dipping into the 60fps range, which is way past my target of ~200 being possible. (the diorama is currently made entirely of 2D sprites, making the layers visible at acute angles, but I could put in a full 3D model)
They market it as ownership, and downgrade it to "you get to play this until we unilaterally decide otherwise - no promises on lifetime or warning" in the small print It's deceptive, it's anti-consumer, and it deserves all the backlash it's getting and more
