I guess it's introduction time!
I've been a game developer for the last 7 years and I'm currently working on Wax Heads together with @patattiemurray.bsky.social using #godot.
I'm also streaming the development on my Twitch channel
twitch.tv/rothiotome
You can come by and check out how it's going!

I fell in love at 36 and told him "we should make a game together to see if we can make it in the long run" (cause if you survive #gamedev you can survive almost anything). One year later our first baby ROTATO is born. Wishlist on Steam! link below #indiedev

Se nota que Trufa me ha echado de menos estos días que no me ha visto porque me ha dejado acariciarla 2 segundos extra antes de morderme y alejarse.

Bendecida.

casi! jajaj es que teníamos muchos espacios, PascalCase y caracteres especiales en nombres de carpetas y archivos de arte, así que he renombrado todo en el proyecto y corregido todas las referencias. Así nos evitamos problemas con CI/CD en el futuro

Tomorrow I'm singing the 'Jarhead song', "The Enemy Within" (Composed by the excellent @ginaloughlin.com) it's an industrial metal monster sculpted in likeness of NIN (or to get really specific also Smashing Pumpkins "Zero").

Can't wait!

Any guesses which Jarhead album it comes from? 👇

x3 record sleeve covers of the band Jarhead, an industrial metal band that exists in the world of Wax Heads. From left to right, the first cover is a reddish, mutated kaledioscope background with the title "The bloated belljar" on top of a jar that looks like it has organs inside. The second album cover is a close up of a face with lots of vibrant lines and pink/yellow hues on top, baring yellow teeth with the words "Jarhead - Pucker" across them. The third album is a collection of cartoonish blue hued heads with pink eyes and no pupils, grinning. Adorned in the bottom right corner is the title "Jarhead + Pit" written in a hand written stylistic font.

I wrote an Intro to Puzzle Design article🧩

This covers the usual points I discuss with people who are working on their first puzzle game. Given how some concepts can be quite abstract, I think a written piece allows everyone to digest it at their own pace.

Sisi, es una delicia. Yo suelo perderme muchísimo en estos juegos y no sé cómo lo hicieron para que no me pasara. Menuda genialidad de diseño de la nave

Past few weeks I've been polishing all the characters in Wax Heads... AND there's um, a lot of them 😅😅😅

BUT - I gotta say, finishing this menagerie of music loving fanatics has been very endearing and I love them all (even the ones you're supposed to love to hate :P)

Screenshot of some new characters polished for Wax Heads inside the game's interface inside a record store behind the workng counter and cash register. The characters left to right: "Rita Butterfly" a drag queen in a sequin dress with a butterfly hairpin and cloak, "Rod", old school punk rocker in ripped denim jacket and punk tshirt with orange beard, "Kelsey" a socialite, in a boojee turquoise shirt and "Mike", post-rock lover in big army camo jacket with band patches all over it and big tustled, long flowing hair and beard.
