I am finally able to share the key art I produced for Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades 2! Thanks so much to @rustltd.com for trusting me to do this. It was really fun and a huge honour working together to come up with an image to capture the vibes of this game 🌭
Digital illustration of a brutalist facility with six human-sized cartoon hot dogs armed with various guns posed amid gunfire, explosions, flying debris, and robots. The central hot dog figure is the protagonist and wears a blue hooded jacket over a shirt and tie, cargo pants, and glasses. It wields a pistol and a red scanner, and has a bagpack bursting with junk.

So - bad news. I totally spaced and forgot to include the @dunderbeckgame.com trailer in the #WeirdDaysJobSimulator2026 showcase. Good news: You can catch it here! Featuring the dulcet tones of Roy Samuelson www.imdb.com/name/nm19982... #ScreenshotSaturday #indiegames #gamedev

One last post before I get home - another from Cleveland - @dunderbeckgame.com has a whole storyline about a giant stone body bursting through the ground from underneath Cincinnati - so seeing partially submerged body parts felt very familiar ♥️ #GameDev #IndieGames #Worldbuilding

#Cleveland #Ohio has its meat murals down - this was (I think) a steakhouse near where I had dinner. Love me a good cleaver and a meat pun. #Research @dunderbeckgame.com @rustltd.com

So this is the second (and third) Sausage Tree I've seen - up in the Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids. I didn't have plans for them in @dunderbeckgame.com , but I think there must be, now. I'm picturing an angry butcher dad, "What, do you think sausages grow on trees?!" #gamedev #indie #research

The Douglas Root Beer Barrel - a root beer and hot dog restaurant that is shaped like a giant barrel. Working on #H3VR, @dunderbeckgame.com and @h3vr2.bsky.social - I've really grown attached to American roadside attractions - we need more restaurants that look like things! #research #worldbuilding

I feel like this is going to sound made up for the sake of my #Dunderbeck #Research #Adventure, but I just saw the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile on the highway. We were going in different directions so I don't have a picture, but there are apparently only like six of them. So. That was pretty cool.

Babe, babe, babe - wake up. New GoFundMe dropped - "Buy Lucas a Weird McDonald's Tree." I have the perfect spot for it right behind me while I do video calls. Really, though, #Dunderbeck 's done something to my brain. I see weird food related ephemera and I'm like, "but I need that! For #research!"

Out of curiosity, I went to check and, H3VR has over 6000 mods on Thunderstore. That blew my mind. What was even wilder to me was that over 4000 of them have more than 1k downloads, and more than 50 have over 100k downloads. They have a cumulative 67M downloads. 🤯
H3VR capsule art from Thunderstore with text under it which indicates 6.1k packages and 67M downloads

Christina Aguilera's 1999 song, "Genie in a Bottle" wildly misunderstood the mythos, I think. If you ever find yourself rubbing the genie rather than the bottle, I believe that could not, categorically, be the "right way", baby. #mythology

On the topic of new store assets, @alexbpart.bsky.social has been hard at work making character and monster art for @dunderbeckgame.com, and we now get to show off this amazing new banner art! Oh! And minor note - we're in NextFest - give us a wishlist and a comment! 💖🌭 #GameDev #IndieGames #Steam
Epic art showing the titular character, Dunderbeck, punching a Unicorn - teeth go flying. Behind this action there are several other supporting characters and monsters rushing to join the fray.

I find myself hunting for my Steam/Itch.io Illustrator template once a month - so I’m sharing it! If you're a #IndieDev also trapped in the world of Adobe looking to export all your store assets in bulk, grab it here: drive.google.com/file/d/1AnEG... #GameArt #Marketing #NextFest #Steam #Itchio
A screenshot of an Adobe Illustrator workspace displaying a template for PC game storefront assets. The dark gray canvas features seven blank white artboards of various sizes and aspect ratios, organized into two rows and labeled for bulk export. The top row includes five Steam-specific templates: Header Capsule, Main Capsule, Small Capsule, Vertical Capsule, and Background; the bottom row contains two templates labeled ItchIO_Cover and ItchIO_Banner. The Artboards panel on the left side of the screen displays the names and sequence of seven assets.

Taking another stab at "cheesy" - and also, "flaming hot" - because sometimes you just want a flaming hot human torso. Or a flaming hot pile of puke. @dunderbeckgame.com is there for you in those moments. #IndieGames #FlamingHot #Cheetos #NotSponsored #LookingForASponsor #GameDev

A hot dog? In this economy?! I divided all money by 10 - because a hot dog should probably not cost $3. Not that I can afford another at $0.30, either... #GameDesign #IndieGames #Dunderbeck

Item variants previously used only different sprites. The new system uses particles and tone mapping for a consistent, expandable visual language, as shown here with the "cheesy" variant. #GodotEngine #Dunderbeck #GameDev #Cheese

This mug is one of my favorite things that we sell on the #RUST store - the mythos of Jerry the Lemon is one of my most loved narratives in #H3VR - make sure to scream to the citric celestial after you drink your cup of lemon juice. That's what normal people enjoy in the morning, right? #IndieGames

With my birthday coming up, I'm reflecting on what I've learned and let go. My coding and art skills continue to grow, but my patience for web dev (once my focus) is fading. It's odd, realizing past me (who knew this stuff) is a different person. Still, I'm super happy I chose to lean into game dev.

For all of the joking about @dunderbeckgame.com being nominated for "Best in Simulation" at #TMG2025, it turns out the game may have been more simulation than I had thought (Taken from Greg Hand's book, "Cincinnati Curiosities") #Cincinnati #GameDev #Worldbuilding #History #FactVsFiction
Book excerpt reading, "To demonstrate how intrinsically alien Cincinnati once was, let's drop in at the Palace Hotel on the night of Friday, December 12, 1890. On the menu is elephant steak. The Palace Hotel (today's Cincinnatian Hotel) has elephant steak on the menu because an elephant was executed by firing squad that morning at the Cincinnati Zoo. Hundreds of people watched. That pretty much summarizes Cincinnati in 1890."

I just had another feel-good "Hey, I'm not a fraud!" #gamedev moment - spent the last hour rewriting a major system - but it was deeply entangled so I had to write it blind. Anyway, fast forward to now and it works! What other sorts of "Look, ma! I'm a real dev!" moments have y'all had? #IndieDev

Gah nothing is better than racking your brain on how to illustrate something with an icon and then realizing you already made an entire icon set - not only for that one item, but for the whole problem space. Thanks, past me - you're the best!
