My offer for #ScreenshotSaturday is my newest #jam entry, where you photohunt #cute critters in a #cozy forest setting by #typing through the underbrush.
I may actually have typing games out of my system for now :)

Having a heck of a time trying to implement State Machine.
It doesn't help that I don't understand Godot and it's Nodes.
The only explanations of State Machines are for FPS, showing how to Idle/Move/Attack.
I cannot seem to figure how to apply this logic to a RTS/Colony Sim.
Nothing will talk to each other. I don't know where to place/access Data/Functions.

It's like I'm not supposed to make an RTS. Godot doesn't do that. Or at least no-one uses Godot to do that.

Wanted to tell you about my latest #TTRPG #game, an entry to the Appx N Jam on #itchio. We were each given a fictional book title. My "The Dark Heart of the Cosmos" is a system-agnostic #cosmichorror add-on.

A little something I am working on for a #TTRPG jam - "The Quiet Live" will be a small scenario for Closed Mondays, my Open Source dungeon builder system.
I was hoping to do something much more artsy, but at least a few small illustrations fit.

Title illustration for the upcoming TTRPG The Quiet live. A fancy golden title logo on the left and a fashion illustration kind of character on the right, painted in only black, whtie and gold, with a threating, misty figure rising behind them.

#ScreenshotSaturday, right? Me and the team have been working on this #slice-of-life thing for a jam. I'm in charge of #graphic assets. It's amazing, what #3D stuff generous people are giving you for free! Thx guys! I have had to model very little myself so far, which means more time for other things. Need to get into shaders next, which is a little scary.

Tear off a quest for the day in "A game in 14 sessions". A one-pager (or two, if you count the multiplayer rules) for printing yourself.

People ask how to get more exposure on @itch.io, and "bundles" is one answer.
If you wonder how much they can raise your traffic, this is the Free RPG weekend bundle with 2 of my games.

While the bundle was free, people still paid - not making my rent exactly, but it sums up, even at the 1% or so you often get in bundles.
Naturally, this was a bundle by an active pair of creators, results will vary.

#indiegames #gamesdev #indiedev #solodev #gamesmarketing #itchio #miat #traffic

Chart of sorts, showing the increase of traffic for my itch.io page during the weekend a bundle ran, with about six times as much downloads and views than normal.

New #GeniusLoci article!

Telepathically linked elven twins, adopted by a lord of known man-eaters, for his wife could not have children of her own:

#ttrpg #fantasy #worldbuilding #royalty #npc #beast #creature #lore #indiegames #indiedev #gamesdev

A fantasy illustration showing two elves with sharp facial features, dressed in simple, somewhat barbaric but not uncivilised clothing. They are twins, and stare down the viewer.
The setting is a dense forest, the two stand on ground or maybe a large branch.

New #GeniusLoci article!

Just more about #Starmaker, the one who... controls? the otherworldly Area. Basically an art dump ;)
Still working on the 1st GL game!

A surreal fantasy portrait of the character Starmaker. It shows  a blonde woman, whose long hair and flowing light blue robes vanish into the background, and whose eyes are duplicated around her head like a caleidoscope picture.
