I'm still chipping away at GRIDHACK, a sci-fi RPG where hacking = fighting Picross battles.
I've been working on this one for a long time. Reposts are greatly appreciated. Wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3053870/...

i say this as someone with at least a mild background in cybersecurity — tiktok is now trump/fedgov spyware. you need to delete your account and app ASAP. just because the app isn‘t open doesn’t mean they won’t be harvesting your personal data to target you. queer folx get the fuck off that app

Really good resources for devs that want to let go of their reliance on American owned digital services.
I personally use some of those listed there, BUT do your own research as some are AI injected tools like Qwant.

I’ve really been grinding on the fundamentals behind the scenes lately, here’s my latest hour of 60sec gestures. Short gesture drawings are my fav warmup and I love seeing other peoples’ so I try to share mine occasionally for those out there who feel the same!

Honestly this game needs to be on any ImSim fan's radar - System shock with NOLF sprinkled on top.
I've played a little of this at Reboot '24 and it was already great then.
Can't wait for the release! Wishlist!

One aspect of RetroSpace that we don't talk about very often: you'll meet other survivors who will give you missions and may even join your crew, gathering at your base and unlocking new gameplay options. Gotta Catch ‘Em All!
