Hello out there. In the 3 months since my last post, things have taken a desperately needed positive turn. After almost 4 years without one, I'm buying a car in the next few days. I'll finally be able to look for a job and start getting my life back on track. The clown yet lives. Ever onward.

If you like clowns, challenging non-linear platformers, unorthodox art styles and things made by humans instead of AI, I made this specifically for you. #CurtainsTheClown #Gaming #Games #PCGames #Clowns #Steam #SteamGames #UnrealEngine #UE5 #NoAI

Just bouncing around from learning Blender to playing Helldivers 2, Diablo 2, and Geometry Wars. Believe it or not, I've played Geometry Wars for more hours in my lifetime than the other two combined. Maybe I should write a love letter and make a twin-stick shooter. I might have some ideas for this.

With the likes of Lorna Shore, Slaughter To Prevail and Humanity's Last Breath, modern metal sure can be heavy, but I'm telling you right now: They are nothing compared to the raw and crushing emotion that was Sevas Tra era Otep, and I will die on this hill.

1/5 Alright folks, it's rant time. My roommate shared his Steam account with me and I've been playing a lot of Helldivers 2. I must admit, it's really fun, but you already know I have some critiques. My biggest one is how there are capes, helmets and body armor, but only the armor provides bonuses.

Using Blender is equal parts lots of fun and very frustrating. Probably why I'm enjoying the learning process so much. It's the same feeling I get from fighting a boss, learning their attack patterns and figuring out what weapons work the best. It's a grind, and I'm here for it.

1/5 I went ahead and put my last Twitch payout toward promoting my game. I reached out to General Andrews, a retro and indie enthusiast streamer with a solid viewer base. Nice guy, even worked with me on his rates so I could afford to pay him.

Red/amber/green colour coding doesn't work for everyone. I've made sure that in #HighwayNoir you can change the palette to suit your preferences. That extends to NPC markers, progress bars, low vision mode recolours etc #IndieGame #Accessibility

On the right, the police car has a light blue pointer and the racer is now pink with a pink pointer. Menu samples superimposed in the middle of the image show settings being changed for the colour coding

Drowning my sorrows in various SNES speed runs. Nothing distracts the mind quite like the sounds of my childhood and locking in to achieve a new personal best time. Probably best to just stick with what I'm actually good at.

Made an attempt at further optimizations for clown game to no avail. Nothing short of rebuilding it in a different engine is going to fix the issue I've been hearing about. Sorry to anyone who can't run it. I tried.

All this time, I thought I would be receiving a payout from Steam this month, but it turns out that reaching the $100 threshold isn't enough. It has to be over $100 after Steam takes their cut to process the payout. I made $110 in total sales, and the last sale was on Christmas. *sigh*

Since the beginning of the month, I've been streaming a lot. It has been going surprisingly well so I'll be doing it a lot more throughout the year. I like to clown around with chat while playing a variety of games, but mostly retro and souls-like/soulsborne. Come up and see me some time.

Would you sell the license to one of your IPs? Someone recently asked me if I would consider doing this with Curtains The Clown. I desperately need money and I'm sure a studio with access to more resources could make a better game, I just don't know how I feel about it. #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev

Quick update on the server rules! We removed the "No politics" rule! I never considered how that looks for certain folks, and after some discussion internally it was agreed that rules regarding kind and courteous conversation covers the concerns I had with the topic.

🌌 Warped Worlds™ TCG Adventure 🔛 ART FIGHT ⚔️ @warpedworlds.bsky.social · 06/01/2026
#TradingCardGame #IndieGame #IndieGameDev #IndieTCG #IndieCardGame #IndieDev #GameDev 🗓 It's the first Tuesday of 2026—time for a #TCG reveal! 🥁 Introducing our first BETA phase community-collaborated Wondercard, the Blandian "Cactus Gecko"! 🌵🦎 I'd love to hear what you think so far! 🔁💖💬🙏🫶 🧵👇
Beta Phase "Cactus Gecko" 'Wondercard' for the vast and boundless Warped Worlds Wonderverse™ and Trading Card Game created by Canadian artist and solodev Mat André.

The card depicts a vibrant, cartoon gecko-like creature leaping towards the viewer with its tongue trailing behind, dripping with psychedelic saliva. The gecko appears to be in an aggitated state and has "popped" off its own cactus-like tail, brandishing it above its head as it leaps towards the player, seemingly through a slanted square portal, surrounded by swirling purple, green, and magenta energies.

The card has various stats and numbers relating to the Trading Card Game and mechanics as well as flavour text that reads: "Watch where you walk! Blandian Cactus Geckos are sneaky, spiky, and oftern underfoot!"

----------------------

Extra Info:

I wanted to create a game that took inspiration from a variety of sources, but with a neo-retro 90's flair. Captivated by the vibrant, splashy colours and counter-culture vibe of TMNT, Toxic Avenger, and POG, the style of Warped Worlds: The Wispening TCG is a cutting-edge blast from the past!

But an even larger part of the Warped Worlds experience is the interactive/collaborative "Weave Our Own Wonders" system, where YOU the Watchers and Wonderlings get to weigh-in on what happens and what lore and cards we develop! 

🦋 The Blandian Cactus Gecko was a Bluesky community collaboration! We came up with a brand new fantasy creature that burrows under the sands of Blandia's deserts, disguising itself as a garden of cactuses. 🏜

💖 If you like creating creatures, original characters, stories, lore, and worlds, and want to get behind the scenes sneak peeks, early access to new cards, extra input and voting power, and supporting REAL HUMAN-MADE ART and projects—you should totally join us on Patreon! 👇

I want to try running the Any% Unrestricted category on the Mortal Shell SRC board so badly, but running it on the final build makes breaking the record time impossible because all of the time saving tricks have since been patched out. There is no way to down-patch without piracy 😞
