One last post before I get home - another from Cleveland - @dunderbeckgame.com has a whole storyline about a giant stone body bursting through the ground from underneath Cincinnati - so seeing partially submerged body parts felt very familiar ♥️ #GameDev #IndieGames #Worldbuilding

#Cleveland #Ohio has its meat murals down - this was (I think) a steakhouse near where I had dinner. Love me a good cleaver and a meat pun. #Research @dunderbeckgame.com @rustltd.com

Starting the trip back to #Rochester - one more hot dog before I hit the road! Giant tomato chunk aside, it was a decent Chicago dog - strolling the streets of St. Joseph, #Michigan #HotDog #Research #ProbablyNotABusinessExpense

So this is the second (and third) Sausage Tree I've seen - up in the Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids. I didn't have plans for them in @dunderbeckgame.com , but I think there must be, now. I'm picturing an angry butcher dad, "What, do you think sausages grow on trees?!" #gamedev #indie #research

The Douglas Root Beer Barrel - a root beer and hot dog restaurant that is shaped like a giant barrel. Working on #H3VR, @dunderbeckgame.com and @h3vr2.bsky.social - I've really grown attached to American roadside attractions - we need more restaurants that look like things! #research #worldbuilding

I feel like this is going to sound made up for the sake of my #Dunderbeck #Research #Adventure, but I just saw the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile on the highway. We were going in different directions so I don't have a picture, but there are apparently only like six of them. So. That was pretty cool.

Hey, @arthurperpixel.bsky.social ! I don't want you to be too jealous, but I'm an official Honorary Dutch Dancer! 💃

At a Dutch Village in Michigan - this lady reminded me of @dunderbeckgame.com 's own egg seller lady, illustrated by @alexbpart.bsky.social - I think he nailed it. #GameDev #GameArt #IndieGames

Thank you for the shout-out! And reminder to anyone in the #Rochester area to check out @rocgamefest.bsky.social - September at RIT! www.rocgamefest.com

Weird and gross magical creatures are back on the menu! An updated demo for #ROCGameFest alum Dunderbeck is now available to download.

Continuing my research journey for @dunderbeckgame.com - do you like mouths? #Dunderbeck! Do you have a mouth? #Dunderbeck! Have you ever eaten anything? #Dunderbeck! Nominated for best simulator, #Dunderbeck - that weird mouth game! store.steampowered.com/app/2477750/... #IndieGame #GameDev #Demo

Babe, babe, babe - wake up. New GoFundMe dropped - "Buy Lucas a Weird McDonald's Tree." I have the perfect spot for it right behind me while I do video calls. Really, though, #Dunderbeck 's done something to my brain. I see weird food related ephemera and I'm like, "but I need that! For #research!"

Out of curiosity, I went to check and, H3VR has over 6000 mods on Thunderstore. That blew my mind. What was even wilder to me was that over 4000 of them have more than 1k downloads, and more than 50 have over 100k downloads. They have a cumulative 67M downloads. 🤯

Doing some research down in Columbus #Ohio at @sciencemuseum.bsky.social (COSI) - it's real cool of them to put in a @dunderbeckgame.com exhibit 😜 #MythicalCreatures #Unicorn #GameDev #IndieGames

Reminder that our inventory management game, @dunderbeckgame.com , runs natively on Linux! Thank you to @gamingonlinux.com for the shout-out! ♥️ www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/07/try-... #IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGames

Reminder that there are browser extensions that let you see if a game on Steam/Itch.io was made with AI: kotaku.com/steam-ai-dis... Also, second reminder - @dunderbeckgame.com is made entirely by #human brains with human fingers and human hearts. #NoAI #IndieDev #GameDev @rustltd.com

So, @dunderbeckgame.com has a character, named "Tooth Larry" who will offer to buy all of your teeth... So I needed a sound for Tooth Larry's extraction... I'm so sorry. #SoundDesign #BodyHorror #IndieGames #GameDesign #Dunderbeck #RUSTLTD @rustltd.com

Wha-wha-wha?! There is a real Cincinnati, Ohio? And @dunderbeckgame.com is being shown there? Well, if you are nearby, swing by Super Cincy this weekend to check out the upcoming demo (featuring the kick-butt music of @garrettrose.bsky.social ) before anyone else can! #IndieGames #Cincinnati #Cincy

Christina Aguilera's 1999 song, "Genie in a Bottle" wildly misunderstood the mythos, I think. If you ever find yourself rubbing the genie rather than the bottle, I believe that could not, categorically, be the "right way", baby. #mythology

On the topic of new store assets, @alexbpart.bsky.social has been hard at work making character and monster art for @dunderbeckgame.com, and we now get to show off this amazing new banner art! Oh! And minor note - we're in NextFest - give us a wishlist and a comment! 💖🌭 #GameDev #IndieGames #Steam

I find myself hunting for my Steam/Itch.io Illustrator template once a month - so I’m sharing it! If you're a #IndieDev also trapped in the world of Adobe looking to export all your store assets in bulk, grab it here: drive.google.com/file/d/1AnEG... #GameArt #Marketing #NextFest #Steam #Itchio

Going through old @dunderbeckgame.com media, and I found this - quick proof of concept for hands/mouth graphics (using my own mouth/hands) #GameDesign #IndieGames #Dunderbeck

The family made "ugly" sweatshirts for the holidays - here's my submission:

I had a dream where I was watching a commercial for spit. The slogan was "Every time you swallow Spit, you're enjoying human broth." I think I've been working on this mouth game too long. #IndieGames #GameDev

If you haven't yet, switch to Blender.

Taking another stab at "cheesy" - and also, "flaming hot" - because sometimes you just want a flaming hot human torso. Or a flaming hot pile of puke. @dunderbeckgame.com is there for you in those moments. #IndieGames #FlamingHot #Cheetos #NotSponsored #LookingForASponsor #GameDev

A hot dog? In this economy?! I divided all money by 10 - because a hot dog should probably not cost $3. Not that I can afford another at $0.30, either... #GameDesign #IndieGames #Dunderbeck

Item variants previously used only different sprites. The new system uses particles and tone mapping for a consistent, expandable visual language, as shown here with the "cheesy" variant. #GodotEngine #Dunderbeck #GameDev #Cheese

I love my work. (With @alexbpart.bsky.social) Discussing Dunderbeck After Dark. The saucy, unreleased, unannounced (oops), purely fictional DLC for the equally unreleased game, @dunderbeckgame.com. #GameDev #MonsterDong #Worldbulding #Illustration #IndieGames

Forbidden Beans. #Dunderbeck #Worldbuilding #IndieGames

This mug is one of my favorite things that we sell on the #RUST store - the mythos of Jerry the Lemon is one of my most loved narratives in #H3VR - make sure to scream to the citric celestial after you drink your cup of lemon juice. That's what normal people enjoy in the morning, right? #IndieGames
