Just to be clear: Axol Studio does not use generative AI for any of our projects! We: 👉 Hire Artists 👉 Hire Composers 👉 Buy Assets 👉 Make our own assets in-house when we can't do the other things We use tools to assist in the creative - not replace it! 🚫🤖

Shout out to the people who go and sit through an extremely long wait time in the Drive-thru at a place not really known for their Ice Cream like Lion's Choice or Hardees just to order a single, small Ice Cream Cone for $3.

👎People arguing instead of communicating at the worst moments 👎Man is reminded that swimming pools exist and has a break down 👎Since when does the news show the Full Corpse and Crime Scene on TV? 👎Even the bad guys are traumatized! Let's hear all about it! At least Spader seems like he's having fun.

Hey! Support #IndieGames!

May I make a Rotten Popcorn suggestion? @mathas.bsky.social @facianea.bsky.social @chilluminatipod.fm

I haven't been able to sleep in 3 days... 🤷🏼‍♂️

Time to go be extra-introverted in WoW Forever.

That was an experience. I don't know anything about coffee The place was cramped I felt like I was invading my neighbor It got super crowded and loud My chromebook started dying after about an hour so I fled 🤷‍♂️

I am going to try to go "out" today (sit and work at a café) because "never leaving the house" is apparently "not healthy" and "never being around other people" is "exacerbating my anti-social negative self-thoughts." wish me luck

I am feeling too self conscious to wear this in public... not because of the color or the design - but it feels slightly too small and sits strangely on my head... I'm used to rigid, sturdy baseball cap style hats.. this one has no structure :(

How may fingers will this one eat? 🚘

For the morning crowd: I made a haxelib to make adding buttons and user interface stuff to your @haxeflixel.bsky.social games a breeze! github.com/AxolStudio/f... VERY Easy to use as-is, and very customizable. The Demo shows everything off! Let me know what you think! #gamedev #indiedev

New hat

Anthropomorphism and fantastical thinking. Most LLM Agents that you are going to interact with are trained to appear as personable and friendly and respond with anything it 'thinks' you want to hear at every given moment including giving responses that play on your sympathy. Like a mirror.

Google, like the rest of the internet, just wants CONTENT and as much of it as possible. Quantity over Quality.

I am quite happy to exploit computers and even AI to handle mundane, menial, tedius, overly complicated tasks and to make my life easier. This is so that I can ignore those things and focus on the fun, creative, expressive stuff.

I just backed Cryptically Cute: Cryptid Enamel Pin Collection on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/kay...

I had to turn off a video I was watching because the interviewee was going on about all these things they're always doing with all their friends and having these experiences and they never feel alone ... I feel so trapped and isolated all of the time... I wish I knew how to have anything like that

Almost done, just need to make 10 icons... #spookyjam

Landing stuck? I loved that... 💚

I've got availability to take on more soundtrack work! Flexible rates! Right now you can listen to this NES influenced OST but I can also send you some samples of some other tracks if you are interested. I should have more work to put in my portfolio soon. fuzzfish.bandcamp.com/album/pyroma...

Feeling the urge to get spooky? I made these 2 free point-and-click adventure games for my favorite podcast @chilluminatipod.fm a few years ago! axolstudio.itch.io/heck-house axolstudio.itch.io/spooksville-usa Please give them a play and let me know what you think! 🎃 #indiegames #videogames

The worst parts (for me) of making games that I gladly outsource if/when I can afford to: 1: UI/UX 2: Music 3: Any art other than the title/logo 4: Sound FX Oh and marketing is 100x worse than any of these but isn't really part of making the game... #gamedev #indiedev

I guess I'm "eat an entire canister of cinnamon rolls at 2 am by myself" level of sad

Cat. infinitepixels.axolstudio.com/?c=AAAACgAVA...

I have added custom palettes to my Infinite Pixels thingy... and I have moved it to infinitepixels.axolstudio.com Take a look! Let me know if you find any cool images!

I want to make another @chilluminatipod.fm game that is a voice acted, fmv mystery that uses Time Slices al a Return of the Obra Dinn.

Who's found the secret game? How high was your score?

In 2017 I wrote and produced a fan-comic for a podcast I was super-into at the time... The comic came out awesomely thanks to @kbdoodles.bsky.social art! I just want more people to see it roadtrip.axolstudio.com #comic #webcomic Also - see if you can find the hidden game!

We need a ton more responses! It should only take a few seconds! #indiegames #videogames
