Currently developing 'Where The Flock!?' - a 2D puzzle-strategy game about saving a herd of sheep from a dangerous mountain. It's cozy, but violent.

Game developers who plan to release a game on #Steam: the time for a build review displayed is completely outdated! It used to be 3-5 days, but nowadays, it takes around 2 weeks for each round of review. You might need 4-6 weeks if have fixes to make. Plan accordingly!

Democratic Congressman Ritchie Torres has introduced the Power To The Players Act, a bill that would ensure gamers own their digital libraries and that online games still have offline functionality when servers are shut down. bit.ly/4in3YRA

OMG THIS IS HILARIOUS 😭😭 A day before Epic posted about their new vibe coded launcher with *faster speeds than Steam*, Valve improved Steam's startup performance making it now way faster. After testing it, it fully opens for me after 5s, so Epic's claim is WRONG.

Finally got a parallax couple of layers that I'm "ok" with for the final zone of my upcoming game - "Where the Flock". I've said it 1000 times - art is not my forte. What do you guys think? does it look ok?

So after an unsuccessful hunt for a Pixel Artist collaborator, I'm once again doing it myself. Below my FIRST attempt for a Lumber Mill tileset, and now my FINAL version (I think...). What do you guys think? #pixelart #gamedev

I'm looking to translate my game into a few different languages. Wondering if it's better to find freelance translators who specialise in specific languages, or use a one-stop-shop company that will do them all in one go. If any other indie devs have a solid referral let me know

Co-founder of Bungie is now making games on Roblox because he got tired of the corporate BS. That tells you everything you need to know about the current state of gaming.

I hate Pixel art. By that I mean I really struggle with doing it. Posting this now as this is my FIRST attempt at my 3rd and final 'biome' for Where The Flock!? Im sure it'll get better, my brain is just checked out though. Any pixel artists out there have any tips? #pixelart

Sharing dev progress here on feels kind of weird. I get likes and some retweets but never any throughput - like nobody actually clicks to go and see the thing I'm building. This makes it feel like this traffic is automated/botted for hashtags. So no tags: who's seeing this?
