I was featured in Retro Gamer #268 about my #pico8 games. Thanks to @RetroGamer_Mag for the opportunity to share! Happy to talk more over on BSky or on Itch: bsky.app/profile/mornin… #gamedev #indiedev #retro

I think I'm gonna try my tweeting game over on BlueSky and see how it feels. I kinda miss the sharing. Hope to see you there: bsky.app/profile/mornin…

Burned through this sucker with a smile on my face. Such an amazing time with so many games. Funny thing is at the time I had no idea how “new” shareware was. To me it’s just how games came. #dosgaming #shareware #goodreads

Drop an album that is 10/10, no skips.

@ThatTomHall Most of my friends were all "Dude, you have to play Goldeneye!" And I was always telling them I'd been playing FPSes for years and always pointed to ROT as a high point thanks to its over the top gore. It was a LAN favorite for sure.

The full version of Rise of the Triad was released on Feb 17, 1995! Laaaaa daaaa daaaaaaaaaaa! #FPS

Sweeeeeet. Gotta remember this one come summer.

A flower in Don't Dig Up the Dead? #pico8 player Axul shared his discovery but does the flower mean anything? Regardless, it's nice to see some beauty in a game about fear and spooky spirits. Play: bit.ly/dontdig-game #horror #shmup #funchallenge

The @spudcats guys did an honest play of Don't Dig Up the Dead and it was fantastic. Reminded me of childhood trying to figure out games with my friends. Fun stuff.

@spudcats ...and if you give it another shot, the Item List in the manual will be a big help.

Searching for 3 magic relics, digging up items, changing stats for better or worse, equipping a toilet seat, releasing spirits with every dig, finally found a relic, battling the spirits and digging everywhere in Don't Dig Up the Dead by @MorningToast youtu.be/VWeOaOVs_Hs

@spudcats Thanks guy! Watching this was wonderful. All the joy, frustration, and discovery you guys went through was exactly what I'd hope players would experience. No game is perfect but I appreciate you giving it an honest play and making it entertaining.

@johanpeitz Dude, great coverage from @Polygon and most deserved! And thanks for being a #pico8 flag carrier. It will certainly benefit the entire community! polygon.com/23587848/ascen…

Gonna have to dig out my "Switched on Bacharach" record and give it a spin tonight.

In case you needed a mid-day jolt of Macho Madness in your life.

The Deluxe Edition of Don't Dig Up the Dead also includes a special trainer cart that lets you practice fighting those darn Sleepers. Use the "dip switches" to change settings and attacks. Practice makes perfect: bit.ly/dontdig-game #shmup #indiedev #getreps #deluxe

@itchio Thanks for the shout out! Appreciate the support.

We'll pay a premium to watch animation in a theater when AMC starts offering a premium theatrical experience in a worthy setting.

:: Don't Dig Up the Dead v1.1 is now available. Updated! bit.ly/dontdig-game Just a few minor tweaks based on all the feedback I received. Biggest change is stats how appearing on the inventory screen. Should save you some time and grinding. #pico8 #indiedev #horror
