We're using @gitlab.com and it has very generously been free so far, but now after some changes they want ~$400/month which seems... quite steep? So instead of doing that we're self-hosting it now for ~$10/month.

When a menu has a neat little tween. Or a character has a funny little animation. Somebody out there spent days making that little detail perfect. And when you’re playing a game you’re blasted with like 50 of these little things per minute. Games are so rich with human life! It’s awesome!!!

You might have noticed that we love frogs, and we think that you might love frogs too. Thus we have decided to take the bold leap to become a fully frog-centric development studio. As a first important step we're officially rebranding Parkitect to Frogitect. We hope you enjoy this new direction 🐸

Hey hey I can finally share what I've been up to which was creating concepts and models for the Dinos & Dynasties Parkitect DLC! 💖 Had a blast working on these, we hope you all enjoy! :D (tried making a quick shrine to display my Minotaur son 😆) (ps: Parkitect is on sale, 60% off!! 👀)

Reminded of this important document, as true today as it was TEN years ago. Entitled "Look, I made you a little graph about Game Development" #gamedev #indiedev
A graph. "Confidence in Quality of Game" on the Y axis, "TIME" on the x. The line starts out confident but by the end is fucking all over the place.

We recently worked on peeking into houses a lot, making sure it's working smoothly and adding some animations for polish 🏡 #gamedev #indiedev

If you are a UI designer [or lover], have a blast with the Game UI Database. www.gameuidatabase.com A lot of inspiration well organized in categories like Buttons, Menus, Items, etc. You can search by game genre, aesthetic, color code, among others. A must have on the bookmarks. #gamedev #ui
