Check out the claymation I made. I think it’s my best animation work yet when Wink shoots out of the trash and then falls into the Gameboy screen, transforming into pixel art Back Kickstarter: #gamedev #indiegames #animation #claymation #gameboy #8bit

I just found this gallery of TONS of great free pixel fonts (and I contributed two of my own). This is a treasure trove for pixel art #indiegames #gamedev #pixelart And look there's one by @GrafxKid

People kept saying they like the short levels in Ruby & Rusty so I decided to split up Wink’s long levels into 3-4 levels and make each level a world. This is how it looks in the IDE. each world has its own palettes in game #gamedev #indiegames #wink #pixelart #wishlistwednesday

@inputmag It's so tacky to offer one month of therapy for PTSD survivors. It's clearly a PR stunt and their hope is that those people continue using the service. Also, Betterhelp sells its customer's data. That's the story not enough people are talking about

Small update to beta 5.8. Fixed a bug in the save/load screen The bug locked up the game if you chose "Load Game" when there wasn't a save file. And to make it worse, Load Game was selected by default when there was no save file due to a mistake on my part I've fixed this!
