The title card for Brick and Bramble, featuring the name in white text in a silly font over a light blue sky. On the left, a cute 2 story house with rounded walls next to some pine trees with a purple roof, and on the right a polygonal tree above a funny little character in a purple sunhat waving to a glowing sparkle of some sort that is floating in the sky.

It's been a year since I published Part I of Game Programming Basics in Lua and Love2D.

The first couple of sections of Part II are now underway, and I think I'll post them more frequently as I go this time.

To that end, I bring you the WIP version of Pumpkin Push, a seasonally appropriate game written in Lua and Love2D :Blobhaj_Pumpkin_Face:

After all those DOS Game Jams, maybe a Win32 jam for a change? Starting tomorrow, and you have ~ 2 months to fill your idle cycles with creating a game for an old-but-still-alive API:

Kitsune Tails is OUT NOW!! Run, jump, and dash across a land inspired by Japanese mythology and untangle the love triangle between three young women on a journey of self discovery. Explore the complicated relationships between kitsune and humans through classic platforming action.

get it now on steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/1325260 or itch https://eniko.itch.io/kitsunetails

we're a small underfunded team with a majority queer developers, and while we're punching way above our weight class we need the support of our community if this game is going to be a success. please boost this post, and if you can afford it buy it on steam and leave a positive review on the first day (the text doesn't matter, only the thumbs up, so "i like gay fops" is totally valid as a review)

i also want to prove fedi is powerful enough to make an indie game succeed, so even if you're not personally that into the game, please boost this post? 🙏

I also recently added "visitors" to my village, they show up and pitch a tent before deciding if they want to move in. Eventually I made them leave if they weren't satisfied, but uh, it was a real jamboree for a while. ⛺

#ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev #gamedev

A screenshot of a low-poly computer game in bright, natural colors. It's a scene of a blocky hillside, dotted with blobby green trees and with an angular little river spilling down the hillside and ending in a tiny lake.

Across the scene are a dozen pop tents, each with their own randomly colored canvas and poles, browns and greys and greens and yellows and pinks. One of them is placed right over top of the water in the lake.

There are several stubby, ball-like characters wearing large hats in the scene, wandering around and talking to each other with speech bubbles over their heads.

Hey all!
I'm excited to share a sneak peek of the game I've been working on with @ruby0x1 :
The Mossfield Archives

Big news: Kitsune Tail's Steam Next Fest demo is live now! Go get it at https://store.steampowered.com/app/1325260 and experience the first part of this queer furry love triangle wrapped in an SMB3 jacket

You should definitely check the options. There's a CRT shader in Kitsune Tails made by @JoshJers which isn't on by default (because people get upset by that kinda thing) but playing with it on is totally the recommended experience

And for those of you who have Steam Decks, we've verified it works on that, too! And there's a new reveal trailer, showing off some of the bosses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRBcm5fagUU

Soooo, in other news Solaria has a Steam page now!

I got approved on NYE, so thank you whichever Steam employee was working that day 🥳

Naturally, it's early days for the game so it's early days for the page too. But it's there, it'll be improved and filled in more as the game progresses, and it's very exciting!

22 wishlists already and only 15 or so are from friends and family, I'm calling that a success haha 😎
