Hey, new folks! I'm a game dev that's been working on games for ~ 26 years now. I most recently formed Double Dagger Studio and made @littlekittybigcity.bsky.social with some other cool folks. Before that I worked on games like Half-Life 2, Portal 2, CSGO, etc. Welcome! 😀💗😸 I hope you like cats!

Gallop into the Year of the Fire Horse with Kitty! It would behoove you to don this special Fire Horse hat & snap some festive pictures with a new Lunar New Year themed Photo pack, complete with 5 new stickers and a frame. Don't forget, you're the MANE attraction! 🐴🔥 Out on all platforms 02/10!

I've gotten this question from a lot of #GameDev: "How can I, a game developer, make use of ATProto in my games?" So I wrote an article to address my work in a way that makes more sense for game developers, especially those that don't know (or care) about ATProto.

birb.houseBuilding the Future of Games on ATProto | Birbhouse GamesGame platforms hold too much power over developers. We want to change that by decentralizing games with ATProto — devs own their data, players own their progress, and no payment processor can take it ...

"Oh sure, let me instantly generate every storefront image at once" is something no game developer ever said... until I added this feature to Kenney Game Assets All-in-1! 🎉 (Coming later this month!)

I don't know who needs to hear this but "funny" negative Steam reviews hurt developers. "I haven't seen my wife and kids in 6 days after starting to play this game" - Negative review It's not good y'all.

Hey, all. I'm looking for someone to do high quality animated stickers/emotes like you would find on WhatsApp, Line or the Steam Store. ✨ Know anyone? Lmk! Thank ya. 🙏

In 2010, Gordon Freeman came by our PAX Portal 2 booth to help us understand anti-mass. 15 years later, I ran into him again and this time he found his hazmat suit.

I grew up on the east coast. And when I moved to the west coast, other east coasters would tell me, "East coast is not nice, but they are kind. West coast is nice but they are not kind." But Ive lived in Bellevue, WA since 2003 and I'll tell you what. I've confirmed that here, they are neither. 🫤

5.5 years ago, I posted this little mockup on Twitter that I made with my kids. The attention took me by surprise. It was almost 100% made with store bought assets. The "cat" was a scaled down black panther model 😅

This is a longshot, but does anyone from Digipen follow me? My son took a camp there this week and made a game. He copied it to a thumb drive, but it's corrupt. We'd love to get the game from their machines before they wipe them 🥲
