My latest Tricube Tales one-page RPG is a Cthulhu Mythos parody of The A-Team (it also draws inspiration from R’lyehwatch by my friends at Hedgemaze Press). www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...
Shows a spread of the one-page RPG, with the front page overlaying the back page.

Are you a) Someone familiar with multiplayer turn-based strategy, b) Comfortable talking into a mic and having your voice recorded, and c) Wanting to earn like 100 bucks? I'm looking to record some multiplayer footage for DOCTRINEERS for marketing purposes. You'll be compensated for your time.

Something I always thought could improve in Zelda 2 is if more items had usage in both the overworld and sidescrolling, so I’ve made my abilities function in both. Each of these lets you pass different scenarios of overworld obstacles #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #retrogaming

We were watching the Wolverine Sentinel footage, and... We used to call these "high chair boss battles" because the boss looks like a baby in a high chair and you're on their tray. Now you have to see it, too 😅
screenshot from the new Wolverine game with him battling a giant Sentinel. Wolverine is on a platform that comes up to the sentinel's waist. The sentinel hands can come to rest on the platform. A mock bad photoshop of Wolverine in the same pose from the trailer shooped into a stock image of a large baby boy sitting in a high chair and crying. Wolverine is standing on the high chair tray in a similar angle and presentation to the previous game trailer screenshot
