Hello, updating my commission sheet with few different options of character styles, portraits and some isometric scenario assets options. Some price changes. If interested send dm or e-mail to rayblanco0@gmail.com =) #commission #pixelart

Okay, I'm really liking this one. Must've subconsciously channeled my love for Remasuri designs from MtG because I only noticed later. #Soulblaze #Gamedev #indiedev #art #CreatureDesign

If it was ONLY MATH but it's using RegEx quantum mechanics to extract numbers together with keywords from card texts in English, French, and Arabic... apply modifications to them in the right order and then putting them back in the right spot ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ’€

I love these little inner jokes in the making of our game... In today's episode of #gamedev bug fixes: MATH IS HARD featuring @zein.games (we're both really shit at math)

Moving into the new house is going great: - bed delivery was delayed without details, then arrived with missing screws and no assembly manual - another arrived with one furniture missing, the other heavily damaged and with TERMITES?! - sofa, they just delivered the filling, not the covers...?

You should be asking why Rockstar gets to do this and doesn't run into any issues with payment processors, while the rest of anyone drawing or writing "explicit content" on any platform have so much trouble getting paid

IGN@ign.com

GTA 6 has received a rating of PEGI 18, revealing mentions of "decapitation," the ability for players to snort cocaine at any time, "scenes of sexual fetishes," and much more.

Our Lead Programmer, Zein Okko, launched a 50% off sale for their game: Soulblaze. If you enjoy monster taming combined with deckbuilding, grab a copy on Steam or Itch.io to support their independent work.

The #GDoCExpo sale just ended and we're immediately diving into the Autumn sale! This time on Itch.io as well! Get #Soulblaze while it's 50% off. Pokemon meets Slay the Spire! Itch: swordandquill.itch.io/soulblaze Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3505230/... #gamedev #indiedev #Godot

A tip to support indie games in general, if you have the choice between buying on Steam and Itch, Itch takes a much lower cut. Plus it's DRM-free! You'll actually own the game.

First working version of the new #TTRPG style event system. You will be able to choose which die to roll for checks. There will also be stat rolls for Animons. #gamedev #indiedev #Godot #Soulblaze

Did you know that missing credits can ruin careers, yet countless devs are excluded? Our alpha build for The Arab League of Misfits has a complete credits sequence. It might not be much for some, but all of our contributors (and of course licenses) get attribution on day one. #indiegames #ALoM

Those that know me well, probably know how much crediting means to me in the gaming industry. I worked for years with the @igda.org Game Credits SIG making sure we have a solid credit policy guideline for studios to apply freely igda.org/sigs/credits/

It's true that the internet, like the world we live in, is full of hate & cruelty, apocalypse & toxicity & mass extinction. But it's also full of wonderful things & magnificent people. And with great, constant, daily effort, that's the internet (& world) I choose to inhabit.

In the midst of all my family chaos, I've channeled my anger into wrapping up as much as possible of ALoM to be playable in Arabic. Lots of magic done by the amazing @zein.games but it works ๐Ÿ˜ญ #indiegames #wishlistwednesday

First time I worked on localizing to something that doesn't read from left to right. Again, #Godot does an amazing job providing easy locale-based direction switching for UI and Labels. Fun challenge and learned a lot! I read Arabic like a pre-schooler so help from @nazihfares.com much appreciated!
