OPINIONS WANTED These are random character designs for Block Party npcs. Which of these speaks to you the most? Do any of these spark an immediate appeal? Any that feel like they have an immediate personality or feel like they'd be a kindred spirit?

Hey! At the core, slide blocks around until you get your hero block to the goal. That's the absolute minimum mechanic of the game. You can build on top of it in so many different ways!

Oh it'll all have a polish pass before release

A few of the shots in there you can see have no decoration or effects. Left it in on purpose because it's pre-trailer-trailer!

A trailer for Block Party. I say trailer, feels a bit early but I needed a video showing it off so when people ask me what the game's about I can now show them this. It's all WIP. Some unpolished stuff in there but that's the cool behind the scenes shit innit. #gamedev #solodev #puzzlegame #indie

Yeah exactly. Loads of lovely little spell icons on GW2 and WoW, etc. And they're always cool. Big brain pain, yeah

Alec Smith @alecsmithdraws.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I wanna draw some spell icons coz I love doing pixel art for little spells. Suggest some spells to me please. Not looking for funny suggestions but rather something that sounds interesting.

I shared these on the Minecraft reddit and the post was removed by the mods. Why? Fuck me for showing being a bit passionate and having an interest then.

Making Minecraft mods is really difficult. I got it all working. Each bagel had a different effect, like adding buffs, changing weathers, launching them into the skies etc. Recipe is 8 bread on the outside + ingredient in the middle. It was sick tbh but can't get it to work with my version.

"ER...😏...now THAT'S a good horse" Yeah I agree. That horse is good. But "that's a good horse" isn't a common phrase. You could say "now THAT'S a stable relationship" in regards to two horses because that's a joke. I'm going to do a shit over this I fkn swear

We need to shame people who jokingly comment on things with "now THAT's a..." and then just describe what it is instead of doing a pun. If someone bakes a bad cake, you can't just say "now THAT'S a bad cake." That's not a joke. You can't say that. You just can't. You can't. I hate it. I hate you.

Updated the Dungeon Maker with loads of new toys. You can try it yourself on my game dev discord: discord.gg/3RvHuvh Tons of new things. TONS! You can make dungeons looks PRETTY but also they have more LOGIC options too!

Dungeon Maker. An example dungeon that you can make an edit in my Zelda Dungeon Maker game but it's not Link it's a duck. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #zelda #linktothepast

I think it's time we get more "Half-Likes." Can we have some good, classic, single-player FPSs please? I think I'm ready for it now. Just a well crafted experience with that early 2000s look. Yeah, come on. Half-Likes. That's good. That's good that. Come on.

Thanks and yeah I do like it but there's a board game called Block Party so I don't know if that complicates things. But good to have your opinion! I've warmed to it

Alec Smith @alecsmithdraws.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

After Mini-Dead, I'll be cracking on my Sokoban game which is turning into a surprisingly deep puzzle game with tons of things to play with. WIP title is Block Party but, dunno, could be a shit name.

Alec Smith @alecsmithdraws.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

Thank you. I do believe there is an intrinsic link between comedy and horror and it fascinates me. No other opposing genres seem to have a clear connection.

Alec Smith @alecsmithdraws.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

Mini-Dead: Tarot has a release date now! 👍 20 . 06 . 26 It's a boss rush game that only needs the mouse. You can play one handed. That means you have an entire hand free for activities such as watching one of my TV shows. STEAM LINK: store.steampowered.com/news/app/851... #gamedev #pixelart

Whatever you do,

A large white waterfowl with orange feet stands in front of a door. On the door is a cardboard sign secured with tape that reads, "DO NOT LET THE DUCK IN."

Adding insult to injury, I think the duck might be a goose.

A show about someone trying to get backwards through the reincarnation cycles to descend from god-hood back to being a cool little bug so they can chill with their bug buddies. Buddah tries to stop them and there's a B-plot or something. It's called What in ReinTarnation?!
