I have a voice! and I made a VA reel with it! You need a quirky voice for your silly little character? A touch of ✨ dramatique ✨ for your thriller? Perhaps you just want to hear me yap about my favourite pizza toppings? Das me. I'm the clown for the job. (:

🫂 I'm so glad to hear that the silly-stupid projects help. We could all use a bit of silly and a whole bit of stupid. 🥺 (Soft genzou/iggy art looks incredible btw ❤️)

Of course! I'm getting back into recording playthroughs so it's definitely something I wanted immediate feedback on. (:

Still thinking about the time @epistellar.bsky.social and I had an esports conversation (when I still worked in that industry AND after I left it) and I mentioned the concept of a "third narrative" and it blew their mind. Maybe it's time I finally write an article about it...........

I say this like I didn't just get through Orlam's route somewhat unscathed (those who know...KNOW)

Jumping back into Our Wonderland (@justacarrot.bsky.social) again after so long (TL;DR caught up to Orlam/Gidget's route YEARS ago before Life got in the way) and OH MY GOD WHAT HAPPENED

That's good to know! Is there a reason why you'd prefer the full playthroughs vs. highlights of a game?

110

🤡 Viv Pretzle 🎪 @vivpretzle.itch.io · 21/08/2026

Question for game devs: Do you enjoy watching full playthroughs of your game on YouTube? Or do you prefer watching shorter videos that show highlights of your game?

Hi! I'm Viv Pretzle. (They/She) I share my love for indie media (games, films, books, music, etc) & indie creatives through writing and social media. Outlets: 🎪 @bigtopindies.com (Main vertical) 🍋 @citrusea.bsky.social (Southeast Asian vertical) 👓 @aspective.bsky.social (Ace/Aro/Aspec vertical)

this is for all indie creatives but since a majority of people in my network here are game devs I'm going to tailor it to you all: please keep your games alive. If you need to take a break for health reasons, please do. But please do not give up on your games. You never know who you'll reach.

Any game directed by Mei (@meiri.itch.io) is a GOTY banger. Possibly even GOTM (game of the month). Most certainly GOTD (game of the day) (the day is whenever the game gets released)

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

Some thoughts:
When using GenAi as a mood board you don't get sources. This means you deprive yourself from knowledge.
You generated a location? You deprived yourself of knowing more about the interesting parts of the world and why things came to be.
Generate an armor or costume? You deprived yourself on real world techniques, function, form and history.
You generated art inspirations? You deprive yourself of learning about artists from history or lock out living ones from potentially being hired.
Ethical issues of using GenAi models aside, one ends up making visuals mood boards devoid of reality and history. With it one deprives themselves from learning about our world and who is living in it, inadvertently making your work weaker, because of how detached it is from our shared human reality and history.

Instead of one item only though it's the brightest fruits of my labour from cutting through the deep forests of the internet and sailing the web in search of good stuff to play/watch/read/admire/etc.

The best way I can describe the goal of Big Top Indies is "the digital equivalent of an old-timey pizza/ramen shop with one item only and it's just one old woman who makes every order by hand and delivers it to you directly from her flame-resistant palms"

Switched over from playing Arcade Spirits to this and honestly I wish I had like 100 more games like them. These are perfect examples of games made with heart (and humans!) ❤️
