- Woohoo!
- Every time I think about making a game design video/blog post or something I see someone smarter than me talk about something unrelated & just shrink down not wanting to embarrass myself. Idk I don't really think I have all the answers but that I just know how to get somewhere decent eventually.
- Matt, you are one of the few people in this world who I would love to hear just pour our some of your thoughts and opinions on game design, even if I disagreed with them.

- This looks... Amazing!
- I have returned with PAX with some very special treasures: A clay figure of Chime from @sovanjedi.bsky.social An autographed poster from @programancer.com and an autograph from @billamend.bsky.social , who's comic was always one of my absolute favorites in the newspaper.
- failed the water form minigame at PAX East, I'm afraid
- D A N C E W A T E R , D A N C E !

- My girlfriend showed up to PAX looking like a total goddess, so I had to bring my own heat to match.
- they'd build a pyramid for you in mezzopotamoa

View full threadAre you showing anything on the floor? Your pixel art is dope
- Ah man, I wish, but it's cheaper and less complicated for me to go out and make friends than for us to booth. Less moving parts to manage, you know?
- hey, if you don't mind meeting and chatting with a stranger
- I guesssssssss I should pack for PAX East... considering my flight leaves in about 24 hours. See you there?
- Do you end up getting anxious about packing? I alway worry about forgetting something important!
- [Not loaded yet]
- Hey, not bad at all!
- [Not loaded yet]
- I love picking one out if 3
- I don't usually have much reason to show off for #PortfolioDay, but I've been Lead Pixel Artist at @colorgrave.bsky.social for the past 5-ish years. Most of what you see in these screenshots I made, and the rest there's good chance I touched it up at some point! If these seem cool, check them out!
- [Not loaded yet]
- hah, well that's probably because I just grabbed the jpeg screenshots from the steam pages directly!
- 😈
- haha, that's so cool
- Woo! Good luck!

- Woah! definitely going to stop by!

- Those are some pretty good palm trees!
- Hey, I'd really like to find more jungle / dnb #music. Anybody know any good artists with bandcamps who does that sort of stuff?
- [Not loaded yet]
- me, I hope! Been looking forward to saying hello all this year
- [Not loaded yet]
- and a darn good one too
- A few months ago I entered @SilentMangaComm 's (on twitter) #SM22 manga contest, and now the results are in! Sadly, I was mentioned in any way. The competition was huge, but it's still hard not to feel unaffected by it. (Read my entry here: smacmag.net/v/sma22/bond... Or just in this thread 1/6

View full threadI'm still grateful for the notes I got.. and I guess they makes sense. My view on my own works is probably a bit skewed so getting notes like that is understandable. I feel like in contests I always have a hard time getting through to the judges
- This is a tough thing, I think, woth writing in general... Hopefully shoring up those small areas will be the push you need!
- Will anyone I know be at PAX East? I love meeting internet friends or strangers alike.
- [Not loaded yet]
- Alright! I'll hunt you folks down and say hello!
- [Not loaded yet]
- Woah! Foxtrot! I hope I can make it by while I'm there!
- My idea of a "John Carpenter" on a Space Station, or some such. Absolutely no story developed though. 3 and a half years ago already. Baffled of time passing by.

- I guess it's a matter of perspective, but I like the stuff you share here, so I think whatever you made would be pretty good, even if you feel that way
- [Not loaded yet]
- maybe it's not a bad thing if the style changes throughout the comic
- [Not loaded yet]
- relatable
- [Not loaded yet]
- Woah, these are great
- [Not loaded yet]
- woah, awesome! Good luck!

- Not enough people have said things about this art! The pose is great! The use of the color pink is great! Those skirt folds are great! The hair and composition as a whole is great! And more besides!

- yep! I opened up furnace tracker set to the game boy chipset and put together something that timed properly with the animation! it's why parts of the music cut out for the sound effects just like on the real game boy. same limitations!

- ... oh... goodness gracious...

- I've watched them a few times with my friends, so this was a fun thing to participate in. I ended up being one of the winners of the contest, so I'm still proud of that!

- It's one of the best generations, I'd like to think.

- Yes, so often! Usually I check the cars behind me and if they also have driven through the intersection, I'm like, "well at least if it was red we all ran it together."
- [Not loaded yet]
- these designs are always so cool
- [Not loaded yet]
- These are really cute
- Working on sketching cutscene art today. This is what they usually start out as until I go to finalize them, haha.
