More #Endacopia stuff, I also designed Danu's attacks, though I made them a lot faster than they ended up being 😅 Imagine fighting her as designed ☠️
Game's been out for a minute so I guess I can say that Danu is in #Endacopia as a semi-secret fight. I helped make the design a little more appropriate for the game and I think she looks pretty cool, hmhmhm
They're stealing my lunch! Go right ahead, the more the merrier. Let the Fox-likes flow

Dang, Endacopia up to almost 500 user reviews after less than a day. Almost all positive, too. Great to see an indie point-and-click adventure make such a strong debut.

Endacopia is a Point-and-Click Puzzle Adventure that is visually reminiscent of early computer edutainment games... with underlying horrors.

morushroom.net update !! did a VERY huge revamp for moru's pond ! it is now called morushroom dot net !
He's only gone and written 2,500 more words about how game devs feel about generative AI. Latest piece quotes around two dozen different people with an indie background. When asked how they feel about gen AI, not one, but two devs responded, "Fuck that shit." www.gamesradar.com/games/it-cre...
"It creates lesser games": Indie game studios are supposed to love generative AI, so why do the 25 devs I spoke to avoid it?
"So it may be slightly faster, and a lot worse, but it's also more expensive? Neat"

Austin Wood@woodwould.bsky.social · 2mo agoI spent the last few months talking to over 30 game developers about generative AI. It began as a sort of interview survey but became a pretty comprehensive collection of arguments against the technology altogether. www.gamesradar.com/games/why-so...
#Newgrounds Summer Game Jam 2026 is a wrap! Judging begins and winners will be announced as soon as we can play them all. In the meantime, go play the submissions! www.newgrounds.com/collection/s...
So far, running a game jam is easy! I might have to worry about the part where we have something like 200 participants and I'm gonna have to play ALL of the submissions, but that's days away!

Most of my followers understand the fundamental human argument against AI, but I don't think that's going to be the leading vector that ultimately makes it get regulated and choked out. It's that the average person that doesn't give a shit about art associates AI with scams and lies. 1/
#DeadEstate arrives on Switch and PS5: July 10th This has been a LONG TIME coming! Just 4 MORE DAYS!!
It's so discouraging to post art when you see how fucked up the ratio of like to repost is. Just please, do the second click, it's literally few seconds and does so much more for struggling artists.
Productive! Set up a system for carrying objects. (and throwing them) Weapon stealing is back on the menu. Certainly more streamlined. I also added impact frames fx. Because I am a monster. Oh. Blood. Lots of cartoon cyborg blood. (I am aware that I misspelled 'Equipped') #CherubDev #UE5

When I'm not making catastrophic mistakes making #BlackStarZelana, I am often making character portraits for the dialogue segments. Here's Red! What's her role gonna be? Hmm good question.
Everything in Black Star Zelana so far has been somewhere between 10-100x bigger than what Unreal Engine is happy with and used variables to match for things like movement speed and what have you. I thought "it still works, who cares?" The engine can no longer package the project. I now care.
Hey folks, who'd like another Steam sale recommendation thread? Let's go! 1. Nine Sols Simply one of the best Metroidvanias ever. Takes inspiration from Hollow Knight with gorgeous hand drawn artstyle, mixes in the parry heavy combat of Sekiro, and Red Candle's exceptional narrative writing.

Lighting's cool, you can do stuff with it.
Loish@loish.bsky.social · 4w agoLighting doesn’t have to be so complicated. If you memorize basic lighting, you can use that as a starting point for a bunch of different styles!

Okay y'all, so about that whole thing where indie games are supposed to keep the games industry alive while AAA melts.... We really need to figure some way for indie game devs to get money DURING the process and not after. I have been working three jobs (including the game) for over two years now.
These industry layoffs deliberately target people that lack the resources to reorganize into independent studios. There are typically protected veterans that could attract publisher confidence and get new studios rolling, but it would first require them to resign in solidarity with junior devs.
