How is it that I have exactly 1 direct neighbor and he is a disgusting sexist creep that now terrorizes all the women in the neighborhood with his "advances" = comments about our bodies, attempting to touch people and totally ignoring any boundaries.

It seems using the word "self-employed" when asking for advice at the worker's union results in immediate knee-jerk-reaction of "that's not our area, we can't help you" wtf, I was asking about what happens to unemployment benefits FROM MY EMPLOYMENT (when also having a company without income)

Is it a good idea to take over the yard my pony lives in, next to a game dev project AND a day job? Probably not. Still just gotta take that opportunity. Phew

Wish I had time to do an animation course or something^^ There's probably soo many animation principles I'm not using which makes proper animators cringe haha maybe after the release... Which we may have a date for soon 😱🤫

I was happy yesterday to have done something again, but at night I was laying awake thinking omg this does nothing really, it needs an anticipation frame that goes in the OTHER direction... Soo probably gonna go over it again :D

So @div64.bsky.social and I did a workation from the blackboard ponies and took part in the @gamemakerstoolkit.com GMTK game jam. No horses in this game, just souls getting guided and telling their story (if you ask the right questions). lajiao.itch.io/before-you-go

It's a good idea to take part in the GMTK jam while having an active project to work on, right? I could never lose focus, right? Right? :D

Angie H @erbsenfrau.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

ok, I made an updated gameplay trailer, and now I really wanna go back to actually working on the game. Got an idea for another fun video though, because I looked through older recordings - comparison jam version vs. current version? Or wait until it's done? Stop it, brain - go build the game! 🙈

Folks struggling to make it as indies should probably read this: klangmag.co/lifers-dayjo...

The good thing about making your own game is you (or your partner in this case) can make totally "unnecessary" features and nobody can stop you. But tbh, this feature is totally necessary, actually 😍

Okay, I do feel a bit like a weirdo, running to catch images of horses pissing, but I guess that's the price of having reference images :D new entries for the horse ref DB: urinating (male) and a slomo of shaking! 🤭 horserefdb.miraheze.org/wiki/Urinati... horserefdb.miraheze.org/wiki/Shake

The Horses of Hoofprint Bay demo has been played by over 31'000 people for a median of 3h and 24min within 4 weeks and idk man I just think that's really good numbers for a game by a debut studio in a niche genre and I would really love for games media to pick up on it 😤

Dear artist friends or anyone who always wished for specific references of a horse - I've started a little side project: The horse reference database: horserefdb.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page I'm logging all kinds of horse behavior here that you may have trouble finding by a simple G search.

I just love game design... so much It's also cool to realize how much trickery I already have in my toolbelt. I don't need to actually create the thing the player thinks they see. I just make it look like it and feel damn smart about it 😈 (should remember this the next time I feel like a noob)

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

A timeline visually representing the advice from my post, emphasising how dramatically and reliably having more time, with a testable build, converts to your game being better and your studio being safer.

so this weekend I joined the tiny horse game jam on the @themanequest.com server and took over the animation of our main character unicorn. Painted in Procreate, but rigged and animated in @godotengine.org with the 2D skeleton - still lots to iron out, but it's a walk cycle!

Angie H @erbsenfrau.bsky.social · 15/11/2025

Quickly testing out software and/or functionality for game jams can result in hilarious art pieces :D In this case I was testing Godot's 2D skeleton - hope I learned enough, so the next thing will look decent^^
