sometimes I just totally fall off of social media entirely woops. it's hard to balance making games and...literally anything else, tbh.

Fraytoria @fraytoria.bsky.social · 10/01/2026

now you can see your partner throughout the game in #CrinchureCollector! this won't change on vibes mode (because your partner is just fine!) but you can expect some...degradation in the other modes... #IndieDev #GameDev #Collectathon #CreatureCollector #IncrementalGame

FINALLY - AN UPDATE! If you've played, you know a Create-a-Crinchure screen is exactly what #CrinchureCollector needed! next update: Showing you your partner all the time, so you can watch them doing great! (or withering away to nothingness ifykyk)

now you can see yourself all the time! and change your accessories, too!

Ayy 420 followers, nice! I'm still out here grinding on Crinchure Collector - the winter is really hard for me but we might be ready by Spring! Will try to get some posts of the newer features up tomorrow!

On December 20th of last year, I decided to make a silly little game as a less-cynical response to some recent gacha games I'd played (particularly, one about cards). After 287 days, we're only 10 days away from the demo release date! #GameDev #IndieDev #VideoGames #GachaGame #CrinchureCollector

I think Silksong is one of my favorite games ever.

Controversial take: Silksong good

Ahhh yes… the never ending polishing that barely improves anything for the end game. I guess I’m not the only #gamedev struggling with that feeling 😅. What’s your loop polishing like?

Well there aren't overall ratings for #GMTK gamejam anymore but after averaging all our ratings we ended up in the 2000s'ish out of 9k so really happy with our progress compared to our middling showing last year! Now back to work on Crinchure Collector for Next Fest! #IndieDev #GameDev

It wouldn't be a #GameJam if I wasn't freaking out that the game won't be functional in time 😭 #IndieDev #GameDev

For the full release, the Ultimate Soulblades will have unique (but similar) sprites to their base-counterparts. Also improved the Calamity Soulblade effect!!

Hek, i haven't posted on here in so long! Hope everyone is doing well despite *waves hands around* all this. Posted about a dozen updates to Crinchure Collector since the last post - I'll post some screenshots when I get to the computer!

Just played @monstercrown.bsky.social for the first time and this has got to be the most underrated game I've played in years. Diving into the breeding system has been such a delight, I can't wait to play more!!

Putting the final polish and bugfixing on #CrinchureCollector v1.1 - The Blade and Bake update will include 2.34x MORE COLLECTABLES! Looking to release late next week on itch! #IndieDev #GameDev

So close to #CrinchureCollector v1.1 being playable, and I get slammed with the #Unity Magenta Terror because suddenly I have to use a 2D URP shader instead?? Lmao. #GameDev #IndieDev

I've got one game on itch.io that saves json to the IndexedDB - no issues. Another game, same exact script...just seems like it can't access anything at all? No new directory, can't save anything... Anyone ever figure out a definitive solution to this?? ??? #Unity #GameDev #IndieDev #WebGL

As I was working on #CrinchureCollector, I had the completely unoriginal idea of building up the soundscape as you unlock new areas - even wrote all the songs and got all the pieces done! Too bad audio files are huge and web builds hate them... cutting room floor! #GameDev #IndieDev #SadDeveloper
