It was great to play your game in person! It's very cute. I hope you had a great TGX! (Sorry, I can't reply to your DM because I haven't verified my age yet. 😅)

And... it's built. Nice look overall with some cool details like the airflow grill at the back but it also feels like there were a few missed opportunities in the design of this build. Plastic doesn't feel as nice as Lego of course but everything fits and holds together well, with no missing pieces.

Australian Kmart had a Famicom *not* Lego set for $6. It would have been illegal not to have bought one.

Thaaat's better...! Now the player character's low-gravity walk cycle displays just fine on Android in the narrative adventure game I'm making, ◀Future Ghost▶ Which hopefully means it will also display just fine on consoles like the Switch... 🤔 #indiedev #indiegamedev #comics #indiegame #android

The Game Expo here in Naarm / Melbourne today released their official photos from the event in March this year. This was my booth. This was my impassioned-looking way of talking to someone about my game or something. #indiegamedev

It's Wei Song, the player character from the narrative adventure game I'm making, ◀Future Ghost▶ A rare direct-to-digital drawing. Most start off as pencil on paper. How would you caption this? What is Song reacting to? #indiegamedev #indiegame #illustration #comics

By the way, the sound effect text is there not only for the comic book feel but also for accessibility reasons, for players who can't hear the sounds.

Kenn @ Pinebox Games @pineboxgames.bsky.social · 17/11/2025

Do you like it when a game lets you do things like this? Because ◀Future Ghost▶ - the narrative adventure game I'm making - has a few interactions like this one! #indiegamedev #indiegame #comics 日本語版⇩

Not being facetious about the plugin. It IS great. Just has holes in it that I don't know how to fill. Hence the necessity of workarounds. One of which my son came up with just today when I was rubber ducking one of the above-mentioned problems with him!

Kenn @ Pinebox Games @pineboxgames.bsky.social · 16/11/2025

Goal is a 100% blind gamer friendly #indiegame. Got a great plugin for screen reader compatibility. Reads things it shouldn't, like image filenames. Doesn't read things it should, like in-battle menus. Workarounds take time and lateral thought. #Accessibility IS important, but ISN'T always easy.

Always need more wooshes, hits and beeps, but the one that stumped me most recently was a desk chair swivel sound.

Discovered a new (to me) #retrogaming and JP pop culture store in a shopping centre I don't visit often. Decent selection. I snagged 'Parodius da!' (GB) for AU$15. Dude said he had no idea about the JP games, so I told him what this one was (a parody of Gradius) but he just looked at me blank. 😅

I remembered some players at the expo in March trying to see what happens when you walk into an "invisible wall" on the edge of the stage in the opening of my wip narrative adventure #indiegame ◀Future Ghost▶... Decided to do something about it...
