On one hand, giving the player something to discover in our mushroom foraging colony sim is really gratifying. But also, I want our games to be loved all around the world. How do you approach localisation? #indiegame #gamedev #cozygame30 Apr 2025 14:21 +0000at://did:plc:u6sua67mwa4367wwm5e2o7rp/app.bsky.feed.post/3lnzykkyexs2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/survansix.com/post/3lnqw5tleec2lA long-time friend of our studio drew this crazy amazing concept art (she called it a sketch!)

You can choose from mismatched pixel sizes, zero variation, or rotated pixels. Here are the three approaches, each with something new to tolerate.

This spongey fungus provides fertile ground for "buildings" called Blooms. We're trying to find a balance of visual clarity without overcomplicating the border algorithm.

Ask ChatGPT to pretend you just dropped a launch trailer and it went VIRAL 📈, and ask it to write a bunch of YT comments. The results are kinda hilarious and kinda fire 😂🔥 If the Lorax stopped asking nicely 🤣 #puregoblinmode13 Mar 2025 04:12 +0000at://did:plc:u6sua67mwa4367wwm5e2o7rp/app.bsky.feed.post/3lkaa5yrpws2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/survansix.com/post/3ljyzqijepc2gBeen diving into The Long Dark lately - idk if this is a shared experience but I can't just *enjoy* a game anymore. I've always gotta be studying it 🤔 But playing the Early Access demo vs what it is today was very cool.
