ok fellow #gamedev people: how do you find an #artist or #illustrator to make your capsule art for steam / icon for mobile? I am making a simple web version of Jelly Well and I need someone who can make an attractive icon image for the game! This would be a paid job ofc 👍

Doing silly things like writing an importer of wareware project .rip files into Unity. No real objective except to give it a try.

Started to noodle around with a new wareware idea yesterday

It’s on my list for sure. Is it gamepad friendly? My Steamdeck is my main way to play it at the moment

I cancelled Spotify and have gone all in on Bandcamp. Each month I budget the monthly subscription spend to buy music from the artists and I get some nice FLACs for my troubles :D

Saw credits in Baby Steps. It is a very satisfying game, and meditative in a way Getting Over It never was.

A shorter edition of my Game Pile newsletter with cool games to check out, play and then review. All of them can be bought outright (or are free) for less than the price of one month of Xbox Game Pass! 😮 What a world we live in.

30 bucks a month lets you buy 1-2 indie games, support an independent games media outlet of your choice, and the majority of your money will go to a human being who worked hard to make something cool

Often when our list of Adobe alternatives is shared people comment that it's okay to pirate Adobe software. It's not, because that still supports Adobe through usage and staying in their ecosystem. Instead, do look into alternatives!
