Whenever indie devs use AI, it hurts their sales potential and retention because it’s a 🚩red flag for generalized unprofessionalism and cut corners.

Getting real art from a pro will make you look like a pro.

If you're a solo dev/small indie team looking for art or logos please don't turn to genAI. I would honestly rather folks reach out to a designer and offer like rev share alongside a smaller up front cost to get something made by a person.

Hell email me and we'll chat. Don't turn to the slop machine

Oooh, new gameplay footage of Varvarion!

It's a solo indie project from the director of Dragon Ball FighterZ and other Arcsys stuff. 80s anime OVA stylings - buff catgirls (and boys) on a dungeon-brawling quest.

If you're craving a retro 2D adventure while you wait for Mina the Hollower's amazingness, might we recommend Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo? @pockettrap.bsky.social

ANYWAY now that I got my youtube channel back, I've posted the ENTIRE SNOUTBREAKERS EP THERE!!!

I personally think youtube is a terrible way to listen to music, but to casually bring up music you like in a social setting it's very nice! get your friends to try it!

Pixelbutts, who contributed to Snoutbreakers by designing most of the fighters in the first circuit (Champ, Fwiffy, and Coach), released the 2.0 version of their cute kobold tabletop card game a little bit ago. It's really cute! Go give it a look if you like tabletops, kobolds, and shiny things!

Okay, so, There's been a little bit of time since SAGE ended and I've gained a boatload of new followers since SAGE started, so let's talk about SAGE, do a brief postmortem on how the demo went, and talk about the future.

Supercut of the nearly 11-hours long closing stream for @sagexpo.org! Thank you all guests who took part to it, that was tons of fun ✨

As one last goodie, have my personal best developer time for Tonfa. If you've been struggling against her, may you get a little bit of catharsis from it. The rapid attack supers are really, really good. Use them, don't just sit on the meter!

...And trust me, we -are- cooking. We've got lots of extremely cool plans we're laying for the future and I can't wait for you to see them. It's just the reality of self-funded indie games, and we're unable to go all-in on fulltime development at this exact moment.

Snoutbreakers @snoutbreakers.bsky.social · 15d

We've gotten lots of new followers, so to reiterate how things tend to work around here for those that are unfamiliar- everyone who works on this game does so part time, and only every other or every third month. There will be the occasional silence on our end but that doesn't mean we're not cooking

Snoutbreakers @snoutbreakers.bsky.social · 15d

As for what we're working on in the future, even before the demo released we'd already begun working on the fighters in the game's second circuit. We're still in the design phases for most of them, so don't expect to see major new announcements on that front for a while yet.

...As for the GOAT in the room, she's also performed about where I've expected her to be. I don't expect for her to receive super significant changes unless she ends up being a difficulty outlier after designing the fights around her. Right now she's on a difficulty island out in the endgame.

Snoutbreakers @snoutbreakers.bsky.social · 15d

As for things like fighter balance, most of them seem to be really in the ballpark of where I was trying to get them. Fwiffy is a slight outlier- She has some slight readability issues for some players that could be improved and she's doing ever so slightly too much damage but is otherwise fine.

...where there's animal people so we can't simply skate by on things like crude stereotypes to try and illustrate things like character personalities. They've gotta, like actually have personality both in how they talk but also how they move and fight.
