1/3 I recently stumbled across another Canadian small studio dev and wanted to connect but their website and games all look like they use extensive AI. Either that or they're SUPER talented. Crossposted with @openvibe.social

@capcomusa.com Dear Capcom, I will give you $80-100 CAD if you make a new AA Investigations prequel where you play as Gregory Edgeworth. Love, Everyone (probably) but definitely me. #justiceforgregory #wedalsobeokifyoubroughthimbackfromthedead

I'm not sure if this is the final box art for #Cryptsmasher, but it's one I really like. 👹 I prefer the layout without the GBC banner. Maybe that's the Collector's Edition. 🤔 #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #retrogame #gamedev #mickeymouse #gbdev #gbstudio #gameboy

A Game Boy Color box art showing Mickey looking over his shoulder in trepidation at an apparition under the title card Cryptsmasher. A round "sticker" in the bottom left corner reads "Adam Holmes' Tales of Mickey the Mouse".

Soooo... 100USD fee for each game on Steam? Do I do it for Cryptsmasher? Is it worth it? What do you guys think? If it's available on Itch, does it really need to be on Steam too? #gamedev #indiegame #gbstudio #homebrew #singledeveloper

Been sick the last few days so not much done on #Cryptsmasher except I've been laying down the music and sound effects. Amazing how much music provides polish to the game! I'll have a video soon ☺️ #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #retrogame #gamedev #mickeymouse #gbdev #gbstudio

To my fellow #itch game devs: as I get closer to a demo of Mickey Mouse Cryptsmasher, I'm wondering if it's better to make a separate demo page or keep the demo on the main game page. Thoughts? #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #retrogame #gamedev #mickeymouse #gbdev #gbstudio
