Tomorrow, probably starting around 1pm - I am gonna stream here! www.twitch.tv/emberdione During the stream I am going to give away keys to Ghost Hunter Simulator. So instead of getting presents, I'm giving them.

Our demo store page is now live on Steam as well. Wishlist it! Share it! Celebrate it! store.steampowered.com/app/4378070/...

Mother Earth's Plantasia is an album attempting to make music that plants will enjoy. It gives me some _real_ Steven Universe vibes, despite the album having been made in the 1960s/70s. Anyone who appreciates some good synth/mod music should give this a listen. youtu.be/SZkR3PyHTs0?...

The "holiday" was a forced Windows update that fried an SSD and utterly destroyed the machine's ability to recognize NVMe devices. Fortunately, my wonderful wife had an extra SATA SSD that got us up and running again!

WE HAVE A BUILD! We've been battling the fact that Ryan's computer (the one we use to do the builds) went on holiday for two months. Anyway, we've gotten things sorted and we're back! Time for WIP patch notes!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR UI DESIGNER/IMPLEMENTER!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Well, I guess I'm officially in my fifties now.

We've been using Chequered Ink's fonts in Ghost Hunter Simulator and couldn't be happier. As far as I'm concerned, the All Fonts Pack should be an indie dev staple. It's been quite a while since I've seen a TOS update that actually benefits users!

Chequered Ink@chequered.ink · 4w ago

We've added nine new fonts to our All Fonts Pack bringing the total up to 1,257 - AND we updated the license terms based on your feedback to make them friendlier for game devs and web designers!

Alrighty. We're up. Starting with a fun little game called Lonestar. I'm waiting for Ghost Hunting Simulator to update. We'll do that one in a bit. =) twitch.tv/serevarno Join me for a birthday/most likely last stream.

Game dev is hard. LOL

"They must be cloning the phone when they use it. And it just drops to the ground." "No it doesn't. It floats! Right where they used it!" "Hahah well." "That's live. In the game. Right now." "Yes it is." "We're PROFESSIONALS!"

"Ruby" - my oil painting

I was informed by former parishioners that our church was in fact haunted but a) we did overhaul the plumbing so no strange midnight rattles, etc, b) if it is truly haunted they are very polite Midwest Methodist ghosts who don't want to be any trouble

Is your church haunted? If yes, would you want it in a video game? XD Asking for my game - store.steampowered.com/app/3256780/...

It looks like the windows drive is completely dead, and it had the boot record on it. I'm probably in for a full format. And this time, I think windows only gets a VM. Anyone got any arguments for or against going ZFS? I like the idea of a storage pool, but i know nothing of potential pitfalls.

I pop in to windows to try and play a little Rocksmith. Greeted by this lovely message. Microslop making me happy I do most of my computering on Linux these days.

Do you want one of our super cool early dev shirts? Does your ghost hunting kit need more stickers? Do you want journals to track your paranormal investigations? @mattfossen.com has you covered! Check out our store! www.redbubble.com/people/mattf...

Ghost Hunter Simulator was not one of them. But you can help that by buying our game. @prime8.games

I'd like to announce I have a new(ish) Podcast! It's called GameDev Unsung Heroes, and it's basically interviewing all the names in games you don't know about what they do, their career path, a few stories along the way. All free. Here's the link gamedevunsungheroes.com I could use re-posting :)

I've already been given the coolest badge flag. XD

So, here’s another #WhatAGameDevLooksLike. I’m Kurtis McCathern. Engineer. Currently at Magic Soup Games. Formerly on World of Warcraft. Your surrogate dad if needed. Everybody can make games.
