Picked this one up in the sale and really love it! It makes dungeon crawling really interesting as you need to use your memory and typing skills to do it. Also, As someone who came to classic RPGs late, it essentially points out (in a fun way) all the tropes in found a bit tedious.

I don't think you should be calling me "bald". At least I have a scalp.

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

I would gently suggest that anyone who enjoyed my writing in Cryptmaster might also like my writing in Ironheart, available now for the price of three tins of mackerel (supermarket brand): store.steampowered.com/app/1171840/...

Cryptmaster turns language itself into a dungeon, fusing surreal visuals with inventive mechanics and dark humour. See how its distinctive style was developed in Indie Game Works. #IndieGames #GameArt @akuparagames.bsky.social @farmergnome.bsky.social @wiwyums.bsky.social

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

I'm looking for a part time, paid gig. I can make unique, hand-crafted models, scan them to 3d (high poly or lower), give them a basic rig. If you want to make a game with my unorthodox, IGF/ Indie Game Awards nominated art, let me know.
