You're probably wondering how I got into this situation … #gamedev

Taking the high road with coop playtesting. Getting each other into and out of and into trouble! #screenshotsaturday

@JuliaMinamata @agathachristie That’s one of my fave Sidney Lumet movies! The 20 minute Albert Finney monologue at the climax is 🧑‍🍳💋

“Murder on the Orient Express” is one of @agathachristie’s most famous novels! Here’s a lovely 1975 edition featuring the cast of the 1974 movie! Recognize any faces? If you love cozy mysteries, check out my game below! 👇 #cozymystery #mystery #vintagebook #indiegamedev

In my hands is my first iPod. Steve Jobs is smiling at me. Everybody at the Apple Store is smiling. I take off my Apple Vision. I am back in the retirement home. Nobody has visited me for 12 years. I put it back on. I hold my iPod. Everybody in the Apple Store is smiling.

For those lucky enough to be receiving a shiny new #visionpro tomorrow. Check out Void-X if you wanna shoot retro aliens with immersive effects! apps.apple.com/us/app/void-x/…

@klemensstrasser This is great! Well done ❤️ Trying out these games with my morning coffee. Loving the little touches like the cute ai thinking face, and the Roman character keeps falling asleep because I’m slow 😂

I was interviewed by Apple 🍎 about the Design of the Ancient Board Game Collection! You can read it here: developer.apple.com/news/?id=20mvi… #indiedev #iosdev

@rickyfm Woah feels like longer!

I’ve been at Facebook for 5 years 🎉

@migueldeicaza Thanks, just realized this may have come across as negative. I’m actually riding a happy wave from a lovely customer interaction yesterday 😊

@jamesvanas Hugs James. It is a great game!

Once a month I get a thank you email for Loco Looper. I know it's not much but to be honest it's the only thing keeping me going

@HourADayGamer Happy birthday! 🎉

So yeah…the big 4-0 today! 😎

@BenElliottSound Haha thanks. I’m not gong down that art route though, was a little experiment to see what it looked like

@jamesvanas This looks super rad. 👀

Synthwave-ish experiment from earlier this year, using CGA palette 1 (4 pretty nice ugly colors)

@BenLumenDigital Congrats! (Also App Store search is so bad I had to find it via searching for developer name)

Highest chart position yet... not sure I can snag that No. 1 spot though. And No. 116 in Top Charts. Would be nice to break into top 100! I was going to experiment going free with IAP - but might hold off now.

@SimonBAnderson And surprisingly touching too!

@jamesvanas I thought there was allot of depth and commentary on governments and AI. All in all I really enjoyed it

Just saw The Creator and absolutely loved it. Best sci fi film in ages ❤️

@SimonBAnderson Yeah everyone was sitting stunned at the end when the lights came up. Confounded to see people bagging on it on IMDb afterward

@jamesvanas Saw it on the weekend, such a good movie
