Sorry for the lack of art folks. Been a bit burnt out this year. I have started sketching traditionally again which feels good. Also looking forward to doing pixel joint’s secret Santa as usual this year. 🙏❤️

I have mixed feelings about Artstation but even that site can work as a good portfolio site!

Friendly reminder, if you want to work in the game industry please have a portfolio! I know it sucks setting one up but you really need one. 🙏

100%’d Penko Park recently. It was a sweet game. Took major inspiration from Pokemon Snap but polished up the gameplay here and there for sure. Always gotta love photography games.

Sad thing about anime/fandom shops in the states is that they’re almost always just One Piece, DragonBall and Naruto. Please I just want some JJBA stuff. Pleassssse 🙏

Just a side effect of them both being entities. It’s tricky, there’s a lot of great ideas already explored in the community so sometimes it just happens. 🤷

Sarah Boeving @sarahboev.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

We’ve been playing around with the idea/prototyping since Tiny Takeover. But other game designers have discussed it in the past.

Sarah Boeving @sarahboev.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

It’s part of the design! I can’t answer for the tech-side but as long as it’s not super game breaking it will stay. ☺️

Besides Peak, does anybody know of other games that unlock cosmetics etc. when you get an achievement? Was thinking it’s a really nice thing for achievement hunters. 🤔

A bit off topic, but I remember back in the mid 2000s that I would make “dolls.” So a lot of my pixel knowledge came from that, which used old school techniques like checkerboard dithering etc. it’s fascinating looking at old doll pieces back in the day. The forums were a lot of fun too. :’D

The way profit maxxing corpo culture has invaded every form of art through algorithms pushing people into daily posting is really weighing on me lately. Efficiency and regularity of making "content" being prized above all else feels so grim, man.

It’s a bit stressful in the first moving period (moved from Michigan to Sweden) but you’ll adapt and feel better about the new area. Just takes a bit of time. I also recommend calling loved ones if you feel lonely etc. 🫂💖

3 years ago, I quit my job and started a new life as an indie dev, thinking I would need to find another job after my savings run out. 3 years later, the little games we made sold more than 500k copies combined. I don't need to find a job anymore! THANK YOU 💌 #indiedev #gamedev
