(wip) repost, cause the first one was too desaturated. 😅 #krita #godotengine

I made a short, weird dark-fantasy VN / dungeon crawler about desire, consequence, and how far you'll go to get what you want. ⚔️ Real-time ATB battles 🔀 Multiple endings 🎮 PortMaster support If weird little games are your thing, you might like this one. And it's free. :) #IndieGame #GameDev

Kingdom Hearts, zero question. The first game was what came with my PS2 and I've kept playing the franchise ever since. It's corny and the plot is convoluted but damn if it hasn't stayed near and dear to my heart (hehe)

I hate finding the right size to post pixel art at on different platforms ... anyways... This looks like a fun way to keep more active over here!! Plus it'll help me shake off some of the rust on my pixel art skills :)

Never too late to learn how to add ALT text to your images! It's a simple way to let people with visual or neurological impairments know that you care about making them feel included in the Bluesky community.

ARTFIGHT DUMPP!!! Thank you to all those who attacked me! I can’t wait to see the results, Happy ArtFight :3! ^ Everyone has been credited by their ArtFight! All art has an AI filter over it! ^ = #artfight #artfight2026ㅤ #artfightteammystery2026 #digitalartist #smallartist

Thinking abt maybe making a separate art-only acct... I don't care much abt visibility here since it's just my space to ramble and post occasional snippets of projects, but I sincerely want to have at least One solid art platform I swear I used to be better at getting eyes on my work

THIS WAS MY MAIN GAME GROWING UP!! I have no idea how many times I played through the whole thing. Picked Totodile every time and would just brute force the Elite Four with him only. The rest of my team was always like lv 12 at most w him at like 70+ 😅

On this day in 2001, Pokémon Crystal Version released in North America on the Nintendo GameBoy Color 🎉 What are your favorite moments from exploring the Johto region, Trainers?

Does anyone have any idea how to get literally any traction on Instagram lol I hate the platform but I feel like it's unfortunately kind of a necessity when trying to get an art store going. I used to know how to get visibility but multiple posts in a row have gotten literally zero interaction

I don't think my art itself is the problem, I'm trying to use the right tags and do some contests or w/e but it's almost like I've been shadowbanned or something

This game is SO cute and fun, love spending more time than is at all necessary sorting my packages neatly

forcing devs to crunch before laying them off is stealing from them and you cannot convince me otherwise

Nathan Grayson@nathangrayson.bsky.social

more information on how layoffs have impacted microsoft studios continues to trickle out. today I've confirmed that blizzard china suffered layoffs, and id software lost around half its staff just as it released dlc that required "significant" crunch

I now fervently believe this. Relatedly, I think celebrating good news and embracing joy are equally radical. You have to remember what you’re fighting for. We cannot sustainably organize around sorrow.

Saeed Jones@theferocity.bsky.social

I’m coming to understand that maintaining hope is radical.

Sometimes I think about when I was a robotic engineering student 10 years ago fascinated with the idea of AGI emerging someday, tinkering w simple markov chain bots and the like in python and feeling like it was the coolest thing ever I was so optimistic about us using technology responsibly lmao

what it feels like being an artist in an era where people who aren’t artists will zoom in 500% to look at how you drew a shirt button and then decide whether or not to debase you

I've played a truly ungodly amount of modded Minecraft over the years but no modpack has ever dug itself into my brain like GT:NH has this past month It has me in such a chokehold. I keep thinking about base optimization throughout the day. I fear I may never escape the shadow of Greg at this rate

4 years ago in the Telltale Games Alumni FB group, Michael Parsons was asking if anyone had advice for helping his 15 year old son Kane achieve his dreams of being a filmmaker. Turned out alright.

I've been having a ton of fun playing with emergent gameplay systems for my roguelike and really nailing down some architecture that's been giving me a headache but it leaves me with very little to post in terms of progress shots 😅 I need to start doing little art posts again or something
