hello! i'm in this nice steam bundle featuring a whole bunch of #playdate games who've jumped to PC! featuring: • HEXA • blippo+ • office chair curling • suborbital salvage • ratcheteer DX 10% off, and you can "complete the set" if you already own some of it: store.steampowered.com/bundle/74997...

Key art for the "Beyond The Crank" Steam bundle. On a solid yellow background, the text "BEYOND THE CRANK" is displayed in bold black lettering. There's an Animorphs-esque transformation sequence where a pure-black, square pixel turns into a detailed, glossy purple ball.

TIL the #SteamDeck has no rumble hardware and instead uses the trackpad haptics to create a subtle vibration. Which means the bug I've been chasing is not actually a bug 🤣😭💀 #gamedev

I take comfort in that, as a #gamedev, if I create a bug at worst players can't play a game. Unlike if I worked on say... #AWS where a bug could break the Internet 😅

cloudburst, my newest #playdate app, arrives in catalog tomorrow! weather you like it or not

Store page for Cloudburst. The page is dark blue, and features a graphic of a rotating globe with various temperature readings from around the world at the top. The description reads: "Curious what the forecast looks like? Easy! But...your laptop's out of reach, your phone's battery is dead, your smart assistant's brain is busted, and your curtains are shut. It's just you, and your Playdate. What can you do? Well, here is your answer! Leveraging state-of-the-art networking capabilities, Cloudburst is a fully seamless, on-line enabled weather app for your Playdate! Get the forecast here, there, or anywhere — it's compatible with cities around the world! (And don't worry, it works with Fahrenheit or Celsius — metric or imperial.) See detailed stats such as hourly forecast, precipitation, wind, and more. Change settings to your heart's content, and even use it as a low-power screensaver — the perfect desk buddy. No external tools or setup required, just download and go — it's weather, untethered."

Today my team and I got told that we were made redundant, not gonna go into specifics. But yeah, I'm still in shock. I guess I'm a freelancer for the foreseeable future? I will make my commission price sheet this weekend. If you want to work with me as artist lmk in DMs 🫶 Here's some of my work:

Fan art of the character The Curator from the game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It is a very dimly lit scene, making the hollowed face blend seamlessly into the darkness of the rest of the scene. There's a tattered halo around it and some rose petals

A concept of a book cover with an illustration of a girl sitting at a bus stop, while casually tapping into the power from the power generator to charge her phone. In the background, there's a silhouette of giant teeth looming over her and the stop. At the top of the illustration is the title Void state written and underneath that by Anchimayen in smaller letters

Spider-Punk character leaping over a building, planting his hand on the edge of the structure to steer a bit and gently push himself into his next web swing. The background is vibrant with blues, yellows and orange suggesting it's during the golden hour of the day.

3 Illustrations of the same character, first front facing, a girl with pastel pink hair in a very baggy hoodie and coat. The coat has several different patterns on it. She wears stockings with two different color palettes; the left is dark with a tan bottom, and the other leg has red and white stripes. The one next to it is the same but turned sideways. The one next to that is the same character without a hoodie and coat, revealing her light pink crop-top and jeans
