My good friend @modmaster68.bsky.social has become an honest to god professional indie game developer, with Melancholic Smoking now a part of Indiepocalypse #81. Really proud of you! Also I did the music - it's one of my favourite songs I've ever composed pizzapranks.itch.io/indiepocalypse-81

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 out right now! store.steampowered.com/app/3896170/... Here's a brief look at what the 2.5 years of development looked like to get this far. Thanks to everyone who's been supporting me along the way <3 #indiedev #gamedev #autism

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'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
