Quietly chugging along and making my little 2D game assets. 🙂 I had the opportunity to get my first Steam launch experience with the wonderful team of Crashlands 2! Over the year, I made hundreds of assets across four projects and the variety always had me learning something new. #artvsartist2025
Made this game during the #gmtk #gamejam as a palette cleanser after Crashlands 2 and it's rapidly bloomed into the silliest, possibly most fun thing I've ever made? I know the post-burnout pivot is a hot trend right now for #indiegames but maybe it's a trend for a reason 🤔
The demo for our new game about the "100 men vs 1 gorilla" meme, How Many Dudes, is LIVE! Go play and wishlist on @steampowered.com 👇👇👇 store.steampowered.com/app/3934270 Or via @itch.io & @gx.games bscotch.itch.io/how-many-dudes gx.games/games/8racq4... #indiegame #gamedev #gaming

On the #GameMakersNotebook Podcast, @trentkusters.bsky.social chats with brothers Seth and @adamcoster.com of @bscotch.net about their recent release CRASHLANDS 2, how their brother Sam's cancer diagnosis led to the original CRASHLANDS, how they solved a common indie marketing problem, and more! 🎙️👇

‘Crashlands 2’ Improves on the Original Game in Every Conceivable Way and Is a Crafting/Survival Masterclass (Review)
'Crashlands 2' takes everything that made the first game great, makes it even better, and adds plenty more to boot. It's a joy and a half.

buhhhh some sus follows just showed up in my account, then like and reposted *their* posts (onlyfans?! wat). I guess this is a good reminder to everyone to enable 2FA (which I now have -_-). quite the way to return to bsky after forgetting about it for a few weeks 🫠
Nearly 5 years of work make this the biggest, zaniest thing I've ever done, and now it's got a launch date! FEELS WEIRD BUT ALSO GOOD. #crashlands2
New Crashlands 2 trailer just dropped. And it includes... a LAUNCH DATE!?!?! (April 10) And launch PLATFORMS!? (Steam, App Store, Google Play) Wishlist it on all the things! crashlands2.com
We've worked with the bards for nearly ALL those 10 years and they've been excellent. If your game needs SOUND AND JAMS (and it certainly does) give them a look!

My #gamedesign hill-to-die-on is that Mana is the wooooooorst way to manage rate-of-action for players. YAY? NAY? hang on gotta sit here doing nothing interesting for 15 seconds while my mana recharges
Follow @anneballaranart.bsky.social! I've been working with her for a year on Crashlands 2 and she's unbelievably talented.
Hello! I make 2D art for games and animations. This is a screenshot from the indie game we're working on. I'll be sharing bits and pieces of our gamedev adventures as well as my personal art learning journey. Nice to meet everyone! :)
Took me 8 weeks to make my first animatic - which I drew in #CSP and assembled in... #Spine2d?! (There were REASONS 😐) Best part was, being a Spine animation, it caused a RAM spike that bricked the game on phones. I ended up having to record it as an MP4 instead. youtu.be/ztL-q9LNizc?...

@sidralgames.bsky.social thanks for making the gamemaker starter pack! Could I be added to the lot? Made Crashlands, Levelhead, and currently working on Crashlands 2, all in gamemaker!
@myles.redplanetgames.co wild to see another siblings-founded studio! My brothers and I started Butterscotch Shenanigans about 12 years ago. How long y'all been at it?
One of my fave things is adding little ecological interactions to the creatures I make. They don't *do* anything mechanically, but players always imagine they do and assign agency. "Oh watch out - that Sluggabun is smelling you!" #gamedev #gameart #spine2d #indiegames
A #gamedev and #gameart intro seems to be in order! I founded an indie studio with my brothers @adamcoster.com and Seth, made Crashlands, Levelhead, Quadropus Rampage, and Flop Rocket, and am now working on Crashlands 2. Plus I've given a few GDC talks over the years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQHt...
