i was at an art/craft hangout on saturday and felt too intimidated to pick up a paintbrush, so i drew (?) this instead. stipple art is pretty cool!

this week’s kiln haul! i was super rushed when i glazed these, so i was convinced they were gonna come out looking terrible. they didn’t turn out quite how i wanted but they’re better than terrible, so i guess that’s alright. my fave is the first one, because the maze on it is actually solvable

Today's puzzle is an 11x11 by roster member Ben Wilson (@zerofiftyone.bsky.social), titled "A Lot to Unpack." In this fun, breezy puzzle, Ben once again wows us with his ability to connect an amazing number of unrelated entries together through clever cluing angles.
whenever i make a cup of tea i’m unable to shake the thought that the tetley tea mascots were just british mario and luigi
around the launch of my last shipped game, i put on a presentation for the team where i dug up old builds from the last 3 years and played them in chronological order on a long project you forget all the small (and big!) changes that get made over time and it’s rewarding to see how far you’ve come!
this is great, and a reminder that it’s always valuable as a dev to keep hold of stuff that tells the story of how your game was made
Follow-up with a little extra something... For those of you who'd like to peek behind the curtain a bit, I've uploaded one of my unreleased early maps from the game as a Steam workshop level, complete with little 'commentary' stations where I go into the process. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/...
skin deep has such a cool approach to crediting individual level designers. nobody does tongue-in-cheek diegetic stuff quite like @blendogames.bsky.social. truly the best to ever do it.
