funny thing is there is a direct kraftwerk reference in the game in turbine's quarters!

Animal #18: Joe-219 has a lot of voice lines, where it lists a bunch of vitamins and nutrients that it has a deficiency in. it's not a text to speech voice, but me speaking whilst breathing in and then pitching it down and making the quality bad.

before i decided it'd be a lot cuter for vane to be the one to do the launch countdown in his quiet little west country accent, i recorded this take which sounded too 'super smash bros' for the tone of the game. it's not meant to be any character in particular speaking

i also did a very tiny bit of voice acting for vane and turbine which did make it into the final game!

at some point i wanted Fandroid to be a fully voice acted character pretty much entirely on a whim. i only got as far as recording one line before i gave up since it'd make it harder to rewrite dialogue, and also i thought it would be more fun for people to voice the characters themselves

i'm a person who is incredibly petty and single minded about Creature Design. i think i would probably enjoy Runescape 3 but i haven't given it a fair shot yet because at some point they overhauled my favourite creature Killerwatt into a unrecognisable purple energy ghost.

we also had a running joke about a line of low quality and incongruous action figures called Cheapo's. I was probably around 8 when we made this. this is the foundation my sense of humour is built on top of.

Coming soon to a charity shop near you! Only 7p each. Cheapo's, Your one dimensional buddy! Ages 10-10. WARNING - DO NOT EAT!
Made in Ivybridge by blind squirrels. Action Figures Guaranteed to fall apart owing to cheap production methods.

No. 1: The Cheapo's Sheriff.

Also coming soon!
No. 2: The Cheapo's Ice cream van.
No. 3: The Cheapo's Stones
No. 4: The Cheapo's Rabbit Hutch (The rabbits do not fit in the hutch, not to scale!)
No. 5: The Cheapo's Grass (One square inch of green fun!)
No. 6: The Cheapo's Tea cosy

Look out for the Cheapo's comic at car boot sales! Issue one comes with amazing free flies.

when i was a kid my dad would sometimes draw video game ideas on bits of cardboard. this is the only one i still have but i remember that there were other ones called "The Shapes Fight Fruit" and "Archie goes to Spanner Town". really all i am doing as a game developer is making stuff like this real.

"Biscuits in Peril", a fake video game drawn with pen of a creature called "Eaty Thing" attacking some biscuits. a bourbon biscuit which has been chewed up is saying "Crumbs!"

a shame because twei-twei in her profile has basically the ideal body

for some reason my phone has some setting on that i never asked for called "beautify" that just blurs out all the features of my face into barely anything. where is my Nose. well, i'm finally beautiful at least!!

my Game at the moment is elden ring. my character looks like this

a turquoise skinned woman wielding a large lance and a crossbow. she is wearing colourful landsknecht style armour and a wide brimmed kettle hat

another image of her from a closer, low angle

a closeup of her face. she has a big overbite and large nose. her eyes are fairly deepset. she has no eyebrows and freckles, and scraggly green hair

several creatures from Formless Star, including a mole cricket like creature with a sapling on its head, a walking mech, a little dancing snowflake, a decomposing skull faced heap, a stack of colourful cylinders, a striped toy bird, and an extruded star with a face and limbs

i love patlabors robots so much... my favourite is the housaku

my favourite detail of this character is the disparity between her little portrait image and her in-game sprite. it made me think that she's been doing this for like 10 years now and never bothered to update her iconography.

really sad to hear, one of the best to ever do it. the Eagle Transporter is one of my favourite vehicle designs ever

i don't like to share too many things from it because it's a game about exploring and finding things! but it's coming along nicely!

low effort doodles of shadow
1: shadow rising in a cool powerful pose saying "i don't give a SHIT! HELL about whatEVER!"
2: shadow barking to the side yelling "FUCK!"
3: eggman cradling sonic and lecturing him, saying "i don't want you hanging out with shadow anymore he's a bad influence"
4: shadow smoking a cigarette
5: a small weird shadow holding a chaos emerald and saying "gemerald"
6: shadow holding a revolver

I've kind of intentionally made customising your Puppet Body a bit annoying. you have to travel across the map to go to different buildings to change each part. to change your face, you go to Dr. Capsule's pharmacy!

A pharmacy with a guy behind the counter named Dr. Capsule, who's head is shaped like a red and yellow pill

you might notice that in each clip or screenshot i post of amazing treasure valley, the player character, known as a Puppet Body, looks different. that's because you can customise them! you can visit various places around the valley to change your head shape, face, body, and colour palette.

in fact, putting them in the stair script has really opened the door for more animals! since them doing anything whatsoever would no longer prevent basic game functions from working, i've been able to make more complex critters, like these grasshoppers

splendidland🌱 @splendid.land · 09/05/2026

i was having this strange problem where if a pigeon was currently in flight, it would prevent the player from being able to go up and down diagonal staircases. to solve this i simply put the pigeon code into the same script as the stairs

i have a kind of funny opinion of starfox where the only game in the series i truly enjoyed was Adventures. i played it before i ever played a 3d zelda or any other starfox. by the time i got around to playing 64 i'd already played sin&punishment which i think is a much more fun game

really fond of these bootleg space battleship yamato things and their garish colour schemes. i like the wave motion gun having Teeth

bootleg space battleship yamato merch with bright primary colours. the yamato itself has eyes and teeth

pokemon i saw in a dream last night that was apparently a regional form of Entei, whose body is composed of dry chunks of iridescent riverbed rich with pearls

i watched Mask of Light on my TV earlier today, i haven't seen it since i was young. when i heard this was coming out as a kid i was so excited but i was dismayed that it wasn't getting a theatrical release. my mum very nicely tried to tell me "well, maybe not everyone knows about bionicle".

a brown Bionicles with his arms around his dismayed siblings, who are two other Bionicles colours of red and blue. he is jovially saying "You two!"
