I can't believe this is a real statement from Epic Games. What must the morale be of actually competent people over there?

We worked hard to get 1200+ followers on Twitter over several years, and for a small retrogame hobbyist developer, that's huge. But it was an easy decision to leave that platform after it became clear it was a fascist wonderland.

If you have an OG Playdate, you have 2 days to grab an over-the-air update before certificate expiration blocks your ability to connect to Panic's servers. After the 15th, you can still do a manual update, but an OTA update is the easier route. retrohandhelds.gg/still-hangi...

It's been a hot minute, but I remember really liking Enslaved. And for that price? Treat yourself.

Here's the final sketch. The next step will be to transfer to canvas and start painting. There are several elements not in the sketch that will be in the final painting but aren't necessary to draw out first. Drakenmaid is currently in development! #nesdev #indiegames #indiegamedev #retrogames

Here's an early concept of what will be the Drakenmaid box cover art. Our artist, M.W. Lee, usually drafts several drawings before he finalizes the composition and then does a final painting. True art fans will see a very familiar reference here. :) #nesdev #indiegames #indiegamedev #retrogames
