because true gamers demand realism, the next update to Cherry Hill for @play.date will include realistic gas prices! experience the thrill of a crashing economy! become stranded at a truck stop ...𝓈𝑜𝓂𝑒𝓌𝒽𝑒𝓇𝑒! so real it's now technically impossible to complete the game!!!!!! #indiegame

visualizing all the files created along the way for one (!!) character, arriving at the very normal and useful filename char04_test1.blend 💁‍♀️. stacks of branches in git? no problem. but nicely organizing #blender files throughout my workflow still eludes me. haven't even started animating yet lol

speaking of concepts, here's an early doc where i scribbled (truly lol) some ideas for Cherry Hill in early 2024. this was when "in town" scenes were just going to be static, pre-rendered backgrounds, long before the idea of driving your truck in "top-down"! (4/)

i can also promise there won't be "just a bit of AI during the ideas phase" (ONE OF THE MOST FUN PARTS BTW) or an "oops AI placeholder assets were left in". (it turns out this is super easy, just don't use it 💁‍♀️!) (3/)

playing Harvest Moon on my 3DS for hours during a heavy thunderstorm (/power outage) is a core memory. living fully inside that game world is special: i was experiencing the humanity of the team that made it. i don't know if i'll ever make something as impactful but i literally can't not 𝓽𝓻𝔂. (2/)

Oatcup is a tiny studio with one game (so far!) but would happily be on this list from Aftermath. there are SO many reasons, but most of all: i've wanted to make games forever, i'm not letting something else do it for me now. (including code, writing software is actually fun! 💅) (1/)

hello! i'm in this nice steam bundle featuring a whole bunch of #playdate games who've jumped to PC! featuring: • HEXA • blippo+ • office chair curling • suborbital salvage • ratcheteer DX 10% off, and you can "complete the set" if you already own some of it: store.steampowered.com/bundle/74997...

Key art for the "Beyond The Crank" Steam bundle. On a solid yellow background, the text "BEYOND THE CRANK" is displayed in bold black lettering. There's an Animorphs-esque transformation sequence where a pure-black, square pixel turns into a detailed, glossy purple ball.
