today on drillbird I made clouds go to sleep during the night
After procrastinating with new features for a long time, I finally locked in and made a solid dent on the level design for drill birds next update. I am channelling "let's punish the player" and having a lot of fun - hope the players like the tone as well 😏🪦
Played this yesterday and it's a banger - super satisfying and perfect length. Big recommend
Noel Cody@noelcody.bsky.social · 5mo agoI made Moss Moss, a #pico8 game about mossing the world and finding secrets. Hope you enjoy ♥ noelcody.itch.io/moss-moss
yo any recs for places to listen to music online? Spotify does not pay their artists and youtube keeps trying to get me addicted to Shorts. Or maybe I should just buy some music and only listen to stuff I've bought like an adult

Happy to say I just put the last touches on Drill Bird! The game will launch this Monday, on November 5th on Steam, so here's me taking the weekend off! 😌✨ store.steampowered.com/app/3809940/...
juiced up the tile destroy effects. Drill goes brrrr
Currently bracing myself for Drill Birds release in November. I've found that making games demands so much love and work, that the ego will never be happy regardless of reception. I'm trying to focus more on having fun in the process and seeing releasing games as a sometimes painful bonus😅
Adriaan@adriaan.games · 10mo agodisappointing game launch grief. very real among game devs, rarely public. i’m seeing one unfold publicly now, but don’t wanna draw attention to it. it’s sad. i want to say it’ll be ok, but in truth it won’t.
Drill Bird now has a Steampage! The game will be launching on Steam with more polish + language support later this year 🐤✨ Give it a look and/or wishlist! ✨ store.steampowered.com/app/3809940/...

Will be going to + having a tiny talk about Drillbird at not nordic, very excited ✨
grapefrukt@grapefrukt.com · last yr.This week we have what was once a large game conference in Malmö. The past few years it's been clear they have no interest in doing anything to repair the broken trust for the people in charge. So, we're running our own event! Talks, games, no business and karaoke? billetto.se/e/not-nordic...
I am experiencing bigtime analysis paralysis for what to focus on now that I've finished Drillbird. Do I make more drillbird updates, start a new game or just focus on portfolio pieces to apply for jobs? there's so much one could do, and pressure to spend the time wisely ☠️
My prototype tactical dungeon-crawler card game is now available to play at foldedfox.itch.io/delvetoodeep.... It's free, so there's no excuse to not try it out! #gamedev #indiegame #videogame
I finished a first iteration of my portfolio site today! It has a lot of games I've worked on and some deep Seb lore dating back to my LittleBigPlanet days - check it out if you're interested ✨ sebastianlarssongames.neocities.org

I'm working on a portfolio site and was wondering if there's any game or level designers out there who'd like to share theirs? I find it tricky to showcase game design process while keeping the reader hooked
I released a Drillbird patch yesterday, fixing bugs and introducing the Second Wind feature 🐦🔥 Find detailed patch notes + an analysis of the feature here: mnniska.itch.io/drillbird/de...

Today I'm coming back to life after the #Drillbird release and will start working on a tiny patch to adress some of the issues that has been found post launch. If you've played the game and had issues with it or features you'd love to see, gimme a poke and I will see what I can do!
