Sweepminer releases in two days, and while I know it won't sell much or at all (i wrote about this here: smolware.dev/smolblog/pos...) I'm really proud of the work accomplished. Especially the Steam artworks I created using #blender. 🧵

...it's totally NOT because I'm just a little bit burned out on my own project and just need to play a fun and classic RPG for 3-days straight or anything.

My childhood!!!!
Who remembers PC gaming in the 2000s then? if so, what's your favourite game from this era?
Thrilled to share latest arrival, this Y2K Win XP, Sony VAIO Laptop ... and whilst I played way too much later versions of the "The Sims", I've never played the original. So guess what I'm playing tonight :)

This veteran would love to be able to afford to live in New York. If Zohran can get it so that a 2-bedroom is $1,600 I'm there.
The days of thanking veterans today and forgetting them tomorrow has to come to an end.

I will never forgive the cowardly men who did not serve their country in combat, but are upset to their core that women and queers did. To the point we need to be erased.
We were brave when you were not. Get over it.

I signed up our Game's account for a challenge... but I'm apparently the only participant on Bluesky. 😂
Third #gamedev75 post!

Also I don't care that we seem to be the only account on Bluesky doing this @globalgamejam.bsky.social challenge. Sticking with it to the end!!!

Attention seeker at grocery store, repeating to everyone he sees: "looks like everyone is sober this morning! No money for drugs, so I guess this is a good thing! HAHA"
Attention seeker to me: "Looks like ever-"
"NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY, LEAVE US ALONE!"

probably sick of hearing me say it... but click "Notify me" on our kickstarter please! otherwise we won't have enough followers to be picked up by Al Gore's rhythm. 😜
It looks like we need to try and reach 1-2,000 people following our kickstarter to have the best chance of success on launch.
...getting to 8 was not easy. How hard is 100 going to be!?
Any #GameDev folks that have broken the 100 mark on kickstarter followers? What was the turning point for you?

Crowded at the diner today so @jamessmock.bsky.social and I shared a table with two senior citizen regulars. One had a late in life passion for dancing that felt like the same passion I have for game making.
I feel VERY confidant in my choice not to chase money, but happiness.
