My dear friends over at @chequeredink have created a very fun and replayable card game to celebrate 10 years making quirky indie games and beautiful fonts! Congratulations to them and here's to 10 years more!!!!
The Nocturne
Loving father, indie dev, goth, and Technical Writer. Currently living in France and working at Asobo Studio on the Microsoft Flight Simulator SDK. I'm a BIG fan of everything related to science, tech, and gamedev. I also make games (sometimes!) using the excellent GameMaker, and I (also sometimes!) take photos and write stuff... He/Him.
Ooooh, look! Another incredible offer from my dev friends over at @chequeredink !

AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH ...
*deep breath*
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAH!
@yora Ahahaha! Indeed! Maybe that's what has coloured my judgement here as I read dune when I was very young and it had a great influence on me. Maybe we need to push for our own mini Butlerian Jihad before it's too late. 😅
This is one of the main reasons why I will not use any "AI" products. The gradual erosion of one's self-worth along with the growing dependence on easily manipulated and often wrong information, is incredibly dangerous, and it's no wonder it's being pushed in the current political climate.
@semitones Hey! yeah, I'm pretty sure that once they're installed on the machine they should be useable everywhere. Ask the dev on itch.io to be sure in a comment? I know them, they'll be happy to answer!
The Nocturne boosted:
Woah... 650 fonts for $19? This is an incredible deal!!!
@yora I mean, have you looked into how much people charge for font-licencing? I suspect not... A non-exclusive licence for most fonts typically falls between $20 and $100, so $25 is pretty good. If you want an EXCLUSIVE font then that can go into the thousands. And you can expect to pay more for a commercial product too. People need to eat and making a font is not easy and requires a lot of work...
@virtuous_sloth I'm not sure I get the reference? Sorry...

@Tom_ofB Hey thanks for reminding me I can edit the post. I have done just that to clarify that "free" isn't quite correct (sadly).
The Nocturne boosted:
@NocturneGames The Finnish equivalent to BBC, Yle, also has a sound effects archive from the last 70 years. https://freesound.org/people/YleArkisto/
@psychicparrot42 GODDAMMIT! Sigh.... you think I'd have learned by now to always read the ToS. :(
Still, for beginner devs and game jams and stuff, this is a gold mine. And yeah, a I feel a LOT of the stuff on there could easily be public domain.
WOOOO! BIG NEWS! The BBC Sound Effects library is now FREE TO EVERYONE! This is amazing news for indie devs... https://sound-effects.bbcrewind.co.uk/search

EDIT: So, it appears my enthusiasm got the better of me and it's not "free", unless you are a student or non-commercial project. :( Still good for game-jams and prototypes, but ... sigh... sorry...
Anyone looking for new music that is heavy as FUCK and honestly quite unlike anything you've ever heard before? Yes? Please check out Mirar... it's... incredible... I don't think I've ever heard guitars like this! SO GOOD.
