Hey all, wanted to let you know I've started a podcast! It's called Indie-opolis, and me and my cohost Noah the Otter will be interviewing an indie creator every episode. Episode 1 is out right now! Links below (also yes, this is a repost, because I tagged an impostor account last time):

Was super cool to see Wizard Magic featured on the Sonic Amateur Games Expo Showcase yesterday! The expo recently went live, and the games this year look extremely cool ^_^ (Catch WM here: www.sonicfangameshq.com/forums/showc...) @sagexpo.org #indiedev #gamedev

Not sure if it's normal to spend 12 hours on a run sprite, but I'm happy with how it turned out! (other #indiedev artists please weigh in!) #gamedev #pixelart

The Wizard Magic demo is less than 24 hours from release. Here are some old WIP screenshots so you know what you get to play tomorrow will be BETTER. (Easy to see how you can spend 2.5 years fixing sprites, right?) #indiedev #gamedev

THANKS FOR A GREAT STREAM TODAY! We made good progress in James Bond, but I really loved demoing Wizard Magic from @wizardmagicgame.bsky.social , who provided an early demo code! This game stars an autistic wizard and their ADHD familiar. It's super fun and wildly charming.

I don't think it's too early to call: Longest Tongue is my game of the year 2026. A masterpiece in alternative game design- and I'm not even joking #longesttongue #indiegamd #gamedev

I've made the tough decision to delay the Wizard Magic demo. Turns out there's a lot that goes into making games, and I'm not at the tippy top of the learning curve just yet. I believe this is the right choice to help me make something really special in the long term. Thanks guys. -Arkie

Wizard Magic took to the stage at @noblesteedau.bsky.social's WIP Night! Last week Arkie got to give a talk on what's it's like to make games when you have autism! (spoiler: you get obsessed with fine tuning cloud physics instead of actually important stuff) #indiegame #gamedev #gameshowcase
