In days like these even the toymaker has a role to play. A lot of #pixelart and #gamedev these days, also a dash of literature, film and politics rants. Open to collaborations, for the love of the "game". Based in Baltimore, MD
I knew I was correct in being excited for this game but also this is fucked up
who knew that a political platform of wanting to give people healthcare and being against sending bombs that incinerate brown babies would be a winning combination
Bad news: The old model of games media is collapsing, and "free" writing funded by Silicon Valley pivots will be a strange blip in the history of journalism. Good news: It's possible to make high-quality, low-cost indie games media by cutting out the ads and charging a very, very modest fee!

perhaps my greatest accomplishment this quarter: I finished furnishing the bathroom in my #focusfriend apartment. (I use this to keep track of my work sessions)
Finished the 2Bit Tarot Set! Palette: #2bitdemichrome Card Size: 51X79 px #pixelart #tarotcards #pixelartist
My mom tried the tutorial on my game and I suddenly understand why games hold your hand and explain every little tiny detail in the tutorial. Her: What do I do? Me: It just told you in a message to play this card, and the card is blinking while everything else on the screen is grayed out.
first look at the biggest planned new feature in August's marathon development of Tidebreaker Saga: Prologue - #pixelart
continuing the small fixes to the map screen #pixelart z-indexing, some icons were missing, the cursor now doesn't spaz out
exciting news, map menu now works on a key input, #pixelart still WIP of course and I need a screen transition
Google Drive keeps crashing on me when my file starts getting too long even though it's only text and links. I'm so glad these companies are spending trillions building their slop machines while storing text remains an issue. Anyways does the #gamedev community have any recs for note keeping apps?
Experimenting with adding #pixelart crosshairs to improve game readibility
some more of this #pixelart WIP 10/? the pillar shading is taking a bit but it's rewarding, the books I suspect will be problematic
Great point about Haley Steven’s desperate and dangerous closing message:
In response to the recent allegations, I'd like to assure you all that I DO NOT use AI for research in my work. Chadley does still talk to me the entire time while I'm researching, but I can confidently say that I retain zero information from him and just sort of zone him out after a while.
what's ironic about this exchange is that you could have used it in one of those news parody segments in the movie Robocop and they would fit better
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoBARTIROMO: It feels like we're moving into a Terminator-type world HASSETT: I hope not and I think not. AI companies definitely have an incentive not to destroy the world. That would destroy their companies too.
some more tutorial progress #pixelart not perfect and the text is all placeholder but the skeleton is there
i know this is a well guarded secret so don't tell anyone but big tech is not good at creating cool tech product or gadget, they are just really good at locking people and enterprises down so switching to a different system is more expensive than staying in a mediocre platform
