I found great use from Starter Packs so I thought I'd put my own together! It's basically a bunch of people who post their #gamedev progress for whatever they are working on. I find it incredibly inspirational! I tried to not have any a/i in it so let me know if there is. go.bsky.app/4mLnBDY

I know about the issues of doing higher res stuff, nothing is changing with They Speak, It's still going to be low poly. I'm just having fun here.

My personal synopsis? Girl gets hired for a maid position, finds out the other maid, Mai-chan, is immortal and get frequently tormented, then the new girl torments Mai as well. I watched this with one of my best friends. She covered her eyes for half the movie. It's low budget and really charming

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

The indie game I'm most looking forward to is They Speak From The Abyss: Zenith, a queer SMT-style dungeon crawl RPG by @kalpasoft.bsky.social First time an NPC in a video game has ever asked me if I've had bottom surgery. And I could respond by killing him! 🙂 store.steampowered.com/app/2393290/...

I tried some of Spectral Force, but it's very menu based, making things very slow when I'm trying to translating things. So I didn't get far before I just decided to take a nap instead. Probably for the best.

I'm 100% going to play more and probably chip away at it in pieces. idk about finishing the monster 10000 floor last dungeon but still. Pretty cute play in general. Has that gambling charm to it. Glad I sank time into it.
