Latest Game Idea: A fantasy visual novel, but all the characters are played by the same morbidly obese bloke wearing a nappy whose catchphrase will be "STROODLE MY NOODLES". That's all I've got so far. Publishers, form an orderly queue, please. I'll get to all of you so no pushing... #indiedev

Hey #gamedev ! There are players for your game but not all of them speak English. A localized store page alone can boost: - CTR - Wishlist conversion - Demo downloads (creators won’t play a game they can’t present!) It’s a signal: This game is cared for & the release will be polished!

Out of curiosity, I ran the script of our old game Bunny Hill Horror through DeepSeek AI. Was quite pleased that it failed to solve the phonetic diary entry puzzle. There's hope for humanity yet! #adventuregame #artificialintelligence

It's been so long since I've done any animation, I'm having to reload demo files to remember what I did. "Of course! Add extra bones for inner and outer elbows and weight the arms to the torso for material stretch!" This is exciting for me, even if no-one else 😁 #gameart #indiedev #adventuregame
