So, I finished that jam game I was working on! I’m happy with how it turned out but I need to collapse now. You can play it here: dakotapck.itch.io/climbing-tar... #gamedev #indiegame #pointandclick #horrorgame #visualnovel

I didn't get to work too much on my jam game today, but I managed to get some pbta-style dice rolling implemented! #gamedec #indiedev #horrorgame #visualnovel #pointandclick

Working on something for a game jam using a program called "Decker." It's not really a game engine, but has some add-ons for visual-novel type things like character portraits and dialogue boxes. I'm having fun working in and around the tool's strengths and limitations! #gamedev #horrorgame #indiedev

Yay PAX! Thanks for bringing me along @openthegatesgaming.bsky.social, that was fun! Thank you to all the super cool and nice people I met for making this very daunting experience of a first PAX a lot of fun. I’d love to keep in touch with all of y’all! See ya at East!

A top down view of a haul of TTRPG Books. From top right to bottom left:
Pirate Borg, the cover displays a skeletal pirate in a grungy art style.
Thieves of Time, the cover displays an acid-punk, wild and nonsensical display of characters in bright colors and dynamic poses.
A PAX Badge decorated with ribbons reading “He/Him” and one that reads “cypher of tyr”.
Sworn Heart, the cover depicts a night and princess in a medieval art style.
A pin of a dragon colored like the bi flag.

How much can you cram in your inventory in my Cave Diving Horror Game? This much, apparently… #horrorgame #caving #cavediving #gamedev #indiedev

Here’s a look at how calibration looks in my cave-diving horror game! It’s a super simple system that allows the game to feel good no matter what size desk/mousepad you have. #horrorgame #caving #cavediving #gamedev #indiedev
