Proud to personally know the folks over at @onlybymidnight.bsky.social and have played their awesome new game #CtrlAltDeal. It just released on Steam today and has a juicy 10% discount. Get the thing!

PC woke up today and chose violence. I would be very afraid of being a pirate right about now. #penguinvspirates #gameart #speeddraw #gamedev #timelapse #sketch #artist #2dart #pencils🐧🏴‍☠️

While we cooldown before the start of the next series we thought everyone would like to see the practice pieces we did. Hope you enjoy. #penguinvspirates #gameart #speeddraw #gamedev #timelapse #sketch #artist #2dart #pencils🐧🏴‍☠️

PC is practicing her Chandler Bing impression, unfortunately her face shows what she truly means. 🙄🐧 #penguinvspirates #gameart #speeddraw #gamedev #timelapse #vectorart #artist #2dart #colors 🐧🏴‍☠️

Don't you sometimes think back at something you did and go "why?". PC is regretting eating that extra fish yesterday. 🙄🐧 #penguinvspirates #gameart #speeddraw #gamedev #timelapse #vectorart #artist #2dart #vectors 🐧🏴‍☠️

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 17/06/2025

Do you have a good poker face, or like PC everything you think just shows up on your face? #penguinvspirates #gameart #speeddraw #gamedev #timelapse #artist #2dart #cartoon #sketch 🐧🏴‍☠️

When you ask someone "Could you repeat that?" but you still didn't hear them right so you just smile and nod 😊🐧 #penguinvspirates #gameart #speeddraw #gamedev #timelapse #vectorart #artist #2dart #colors 🐧🏴‍☠️

When was the last time while making your game that you got this look? #penguinvspirates #gameart #speeddraw #gamedev #timelapse #vectorart 🐧🏴‍☠️

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 06/05/2025

We figured it out! PC was upset because her shading wasn't done. Phew. That was close. #penguinvspirates #gameart #vectorart #speeddraw #gamedev 🐧🏴‍☠️

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

PC is now upset because she couldn't pick up some LEGO Star Wars today. To be fair, who doesn't want the special Jango Fett keychain. We'll distract her with some fish though. #penguinvspirates #gameart #vectorart #speeddraw #gamedev 🐧🏴‍☠️

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

PC is going through the five stages of grief right now as she got some pretty sad news. Maybe some gaming tonight will help her mood. #penguinvspirates #gameart #vectorart #speeddraw #gamedev 🐧🏴‍☠️

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 22/04/2025

What is the number one reason you get angry while doing game dev? For PC it has to be when there is an unknown bug in the game that takes us way too long to fix. #penguinvspirates #gameart #sketch #speeddraw #gamedev 🐧🏴‍☠️

051

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 17/04/2025

Does anyone have any relaxation techniques? Seems like PC could use some right about now... #penguinvspirates #gameart #vectorart #speeddraw #gamedev 🐧🏴‍☠️

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 15/04/2025

We have been looking into many different ways to make our current game more accessible, we'll definitely be taking a look at available tools like this.

Everyone, remember to take a breather from time to time to put things in perspective. We got this 🦾. No sense in worrying about every little thing, one thing at a time! #penguinvspirates #gameart #vectorart #speeddraw #gamedev 🐧🏴‍☠️

062

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

Oh no! PC is worried about deadlines now. I think it is something we all as #indiedev can relate to as well. Is anyone watching the Triple-i Initiative? #iiiShowcase #penguinvspirates #gameart #vectorart #speeddraw #gamedev 🐧🏴‍☠️

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

Hey PC is no longer sad but now she seems to be worried about something... Maybe the Switch 2 game prices? We're not sure #indiedev #penguinvspirates #gameart #sketch #speeddraw #gamedev 🐧🏴‍☠️

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

Even a week off didn't help PC's blues. We're out of ideas 😰 #indiedev #penguinvspirates #gameart #vectorart #speeddraw #gamedev 🐧🏴‍☠️

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 20/03/2025

Chocolate nor ice cream have helped PC's blues. How do you help those close to you deal with their sad moments? #indiedev #penguinvspirates #gameart #vectorart #speeddraw #gamedev 🐧🏴‍☠️

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

Okay so chocolate treats didn't work, PC is still sad. What treat should we try next? 🤔 Maybe getting 7 extra YouTube subscribers would do the trick? Breaking 100 would be a nice treat for her we're sure. #indiedev #penguinvspirates #gameart #sketch #speeddraw #gamedev 🐧🏴‍☠️

084

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 13/03/2025

Why is PC sad? We don't know, maybe some treats will cheer her up 😟 Or maybe if you subscribed to our newsletter she would be happy again? 🤔 #indiedev #penguinvspirates #gameart #sketch #speeddraw #gamedev 🐧🏴‍☠️

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

Did you guys know that a group of penguins in the water is called a raft but on land they’re called a waddle? So be sure to tell the rest of the raft (or waddle) to join our newsletter to join the penguin colony or pirate crew! #indiedev #penguinvspirates #gameart #vectorart #gamedev 🐧🏴‍☠️

What has everyone been up to lately? PC's vacation was absolutely amazing, and while she is tired from it she is also very happy for the memories. #indiedev #penguinvspirates #gameart #vectorart #gamedev 🐧💙

We made some stickers for giveaways at shows, this is the first in a new series of videos. We tried replicating some of our favorite emojis! #indiedev #penguinvspirates #gameart #sketch #gamedev

The weekend is almost here, what is everyone playing? We're buried in paperwork right now 😢 not fun but that's also part of the indie dev business haha. #gamedev #indiedev #penguinvspirates #gameart #vectorart #gaming

PC is really excited for the Switch 2. Do we think Metroid Prime 4 will be a launch title? #gamedev #indiedev #penguinvspirates #gameart #vectorart #gaming

As indie developers sometimes we want to sell merch but don't know where to start, does anyone have any leads on good quality and affordable merch stores? #gamedev #indiedev #penguinvspirates #gameart #vectorart
