Friendly Reminder: 3DS, Vita and Switch all use a type of flash memory that needs an electrical charge every decade or so to keep the game data from corrupting. TLDR: Boot up all your games and make a save on them to help preserve them into the future!

In response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...

#artvsartist for 2025: 💜 Started with a big #pixelart commission project followed by 6 months of #gamedev as I learned #gamemaker programming and rebuilt 60% of demo systems for #Moonshell_Island. A challenging but satisfying year of growth for me. 💪🦀

Folks who don’t make things don’t realize that art is ALL process The discovery and direction provided at the earliest concept stages is invaluable Even programmer napkin drawings shape the vision If you launder these crucial early steps through plagiarism machines, what are you even polishing?

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass. It NEEDS mass pushback.

Friends (esp if you live in CA) we REALLY need signatures on this petition supporting Bill AB412 - the AI Copyright Transparency Act. TLDR = this will require AI corps to be transparent about what is in their datasets! Signing takes 1 min. Once you sign, PLEASE SHARE!! tinyurl.com/4uxbp963

I'm a college dropout and everything I know about art and video games I learned online and from just making things. so I'm really not the right person to give any advice on this. I'm sure someone on here with actual experience will be able to help you out. I wish you best of luck with your career!

Derusting after a bit of a hiatus with sprites for Akinai's Shop! Run by the lovely kitsune lady you can see here for scale, this will be one of the main places where to stock up on resources and chat with other characters. #pixelart #gamedev

Some people think game dev an indulgent hobby, but I've never worked so hard, risked so much, overcame so many challenges, or faced so many fears in my life. The level of expectation and lack of resources to live up to them is insane. Please support indie devs. We need it. patreon.com/cheekynauts

someone on tumblr asked about what color palette I use. I pretty much always use my own palettes. this is the one I used for most of the old pixel art I've been reposting here #pixelart
