Hi there! I'm creating a video that features Prison of Husks, and I would love to use your art for the thumbnail. Would you mind if I cut out the character from the background for it? I'm happy to share more details in DMs.
Bit of a pivot for me! I've started a new job, and with the life change, I've finally taken the plunge and started a YouTube channel. I'd really appreciate it if you could check it out: www.youtube.com/@spi...

Any new YouTubers out there? I've just started a channel and would love some advice on how I'm doing! My current goal is to cover a variety of games similar to GiantBombs 'Quick Looks'.

Come join me as I play a game I've long awaited: Labyrinth of The Demon King! It seems to have some really cool King's Field esque vibes.

I had a dream least night that Destiny 3 was set in the Pillars of Eternity world. My mind torments me.
We started a new TTRPG yesterday called Mothership. The DM set it in the SCP universe and absolutely nailed it, the vibes were very Control! I recommend if you want a simple system that encourages roleplay!
Is anyone else really struggling to get into RPGs nowadays, if I can't play for 10 hours straight then why play at all damnit!
(Unless it's Morrowind of course)
I'm thinking of trying some consulting and offering #indiedev publisher-style reviews, such as evaluating pitches or demos. Is that something you would be interested in from someone in that position professionally? Maybe even for a YouTube video - "Evaluating your #game pitches".
#indiedev world, how important do you believe making a YouTube channel is? Is it worth the time or an unnecessary distraction? I'd love to get your opinions!

I think I've nailed the mouse movement in my game, #Namaste. The new animations are just the icing on the cake. Just imagine a pile of items on the player's head and that's the game!

Wow, that's very eye-opening! Thank you for the detail, will be sure to check out that plugin as it sounds much more efficient than what I'm doing now.
I like how you're mixing different art styles across one game, what's it called?
Very nice, I'm trying to lean more into this aesthetic. May I ask your workflow of how you do a model? For me, it's currently a simple model in Blender with a down-ressed real image projected on it as a texture.
Wow, amazing art style! The environment looks so detailed I'm surprised that it's procedural. Definitely continue with the clutter aesthetic.
Very cute! I like the simplicity. Just a heads up though, for me the link didn't go to the page for some reason!
I hope you enjoy the first look at my upcoming game, #Namaste. This community center will be the hub world of the #game, wherein our troubled characters will be offloading their mental burdens via your yoga class.

After a bit of a break from social media, I'm back and posting across BlueSky, X, Threads, and Mastodon. So expect some content from me about #gamedev publishing advice and my upcoming game, Namaste!
I've also considered that, using it as a personal BP database for modular systems.
How often do you use blueprintue.com? I've never found what I'm looking for on there, but I love the idea. I may start uploading my blueprints there for others to use π€

Production on my next game started today. I have to say I'm surprised and proud of how much I've been able to do already! The interaction and dialogue systems are complete!
What #GameDev skills have you surprised yourself with lately?

Truly the best gift is surprise food!
