When I need a break from game creation I do linocuts. It took a whole weekend to print them, so next time I’ll do drugs to wind down like a normal person. #linocut #prints #art #traditionalart #gamedev

After 1year+ of developing this game l’m pretty sure that the lack of language proficiency is the hardest thing to explain and to understand 🧐 #indiegame #gamemechanics

Screenshot from a game presenting 4 toys arranged on a shelf. Three of them are toy-horses and one is a dinosaur. Text above says: Day 4, they still haven't noticed.

Steam Has Become TikTok
I’ve been thinking a lot about the Steam ecosystem. When we released our first game, Curious Expedition 1, back in 2014, it was a completely different world.

It's quiet now. The city's heartbeat is steady. Just the hum of trains and what's left of my thoughts.

I just finished this up in a SmArtSchool mentorship class with Sam Weber. 😊 The assignment was to create an illustration with an original character, and I went with my current D&D character 😅
A woman with a shaved head in gold armor stands among dark briars. The briar thorns pierce her armor and skin in a few places, and she hangs her head in a defeated posture.

Our first Ludum Dare comes to an end :)
There is still some time left, but I think our game is good enough at this point.

Thank you @katarzynahaptas.bsky.social <3

Please take a look and leave some feedback!

I've spent the last 10 days completely reworking interaction system in Poof! Cleaning Services.
My goal was to eliminate the tech debt from the prototyping stage and introduce some cool new features, such as context placement, which you can see in the GIF.
