For those interested in my latest game, I sent my homunculus @wiwyums.bsky.social to discuss it with @gamerheadspodcast.com. The resulting video might not have all the bells and whistles of a AAA game reveal, but no AAA game reveal has a little bald man in a shed, so I consider it even.

Thrilled that Valheim is leaving early access today, and very proud of the all the writing I've done for it over the past few years. Even I don't know exactly what the Deep North holds in store, but I'm excited to finally complete the game! store.steampowered.com/app/892970/V...

One of Cryptmaster's biggest inspirations wasn't another game—it was the 1980s TV show Knightmare. The team even brought back original host Hugo Myatt to voice a character. Learn more in Indie Game Works: a-fwd.com/asin-uk=0500... @thecryptmaster.bsky.social #Cryptmaster #IndieGame

working on a prototype for a new lil game (side thing from darkwebSTREAMER) and... i accidentally made a magic the gathering card 🤦
screenshot of a older looking pixel art game showing a landscape image of a forest, an avatar with abilities like "film evidence" and "search for crew" displaying, and below it all, a text box that says 

AROUND YOU, Cedar trees grow tall, esconcing you in their shade. The soil is thick and springy here.

You see a ring of mushrooms and a large stick.
A patch of dirt has been disturbed nearby.

it's brown and textured and looks like a magic the gathering card

Getting to work with Lee's script on the Spanish dub of Cryptmaster was seriously one of the most awesome moments I've had in games. Every character was hilarious, sharp and downright bizarre in the absolute best way possible, and the whole cast had the time of their lives recording! Hire Lee!!!!!

I have again been asked if AI was used to make my game. For transparency, my minions used generative AI to make all the parts of the game that didn't benefit from a human touch, were too boring to make or not important enough to craft by hand. In other words, we didn't use any generative AI.
