If I can pay off my debt early and secure enough operating funds for the company, I’d love to get started right away.
But right now, we’re still on the brink of going under.
What do micro-agressions look like to you ? What have you experienced?
I think those situations can be so subtle that we overthink ourselves into thinking maybe we're just too sensitive or that somethings no big deal when in truth I think it's important to highlight those uncomfortable situations
Hexas is one heck of a darn tootin' time. But don't take our word for it... just watch PowerOnVR's video.
No y'all, for real - they created chaos.

Sorry yall Im gonna be annoying about South of Midnight for the next month. But representation matters and seeing reactions like this reminds me how important it is to make authentic games. People want to see it and your audience will find your stories. This made me tear up.
Various Owlchemy characters in space with the words "Content Creators" in the middle.

Hi new followers!
I'm Sherveen, I'm making Midautumn! It's a roguelike dungeon crawler about a town reckoning with the (literal) ghosts of its past!
When guarding the spirit world is your day job, you'll need to face ghosts, myths, and evil CEOs! We're currently in early access on Steam!
I've made a little starter pack of some cool indie devs and game artists making some really cool games if you are new here & trying to find your people :) 🦋

It's nice to meet you , one of my favorite game designers to work with was formerly in the navy and I know lots of ex-military game devs . Keep struggling eventually it gets easier !
Hi Bluesky! I'm an indie dev working on a chill colony sim game where you help little plant people reclaim their planet taken over by defective robots.
It's called Green Again and it has a demo on Steam!🌱

I contributed a few quotes to the book Great Games Need Great Leaders by Matthew Dyet and finally managed to get a copy for myself, I look forward to reading through it myself !
MEGA Engine progress:
I've just finished the enemy respawning feature. There are three possible behavior: on out of view (shown below), on changing screen or never respawn!
Changing the behavior is as easy as selecting it from a list!
