Another reason to love the pulp engine for @play.date is that all the scenes you make in pulp export perfectly zine-sized.

A printed zine laying on a sewing mat. It’s held open by yellow washi tape with chihuahuas on it. The zine features black and white pixel art panels of suburban houses, yards, and paw prints.

“But the mercy of the world is time. Time does not stop for love, but it does not stop for death and grief, either. After death and grief that (it seems) ought to have stopped the world, the world goes on. More things happen. And some of the things that happen are good.”

It’s fun to see game releases mirror my journey as a parent. First came Baby Steps. Now we have Big Walk. Can’t wait for next year’s release, Sleep Through the Entire Night.

Big Walk is great, but I have one complaint - the option to punt items is too fun. Yeeting important items calls to me like the green goblin mask.

This game rules, y’all. Great mix of challenge and charm. And the fact that it’s made in Pulp is a cherry on top.

tiny portrait study "Northernlion, in the style of Mina the Hollower's character portraits" - suggested by @tetraminose.bsky.social

Pixel art portrait of twitch streamer Northernlion, using the style and restrictions of character portraits as they appear in the game Mina the Hollower: 32x32 pixels, 4 colors (from darker to lighter, black, pink, light gray, pale yellow), clean rendering with large color chunks and minimal texturing.

The subject is a bald white mean with beard stubble, wearing a pair of headphones, glasses, and what appears to be a hoodie. He has a "pogging" expression, appearing surprising and excited. He looks left and slightly down. A square yellow border with a pink "drop shadow" frames the portrait.

A tiny stamp of a green goblin is displayed at the far bottom right corner of the canvas, standing for the artist's signature.

Oops! Almost forgot: I scanned all the art at 2400dpi on a flatbed so it's super nice looking, including making map scans from my other set so that they don't have notes drawn all over them. I just uploaded those zips. You can also find some of it in the old gallery: www.flickr.com/photos/histo...

hey man we used AI in the production process of this game but don't worry none of it made it in the game, it was a huge waste of time and money, and we could've just looked at stock photos at the end of the day. You have to accept the future.

no joke I think this is like the number 2 most beneficial thing an indie developer can do (after learning how to make a game lol) because I don’t think this is a universal thought process and becoming a more well rounded person is free
