Simpathey - The Gamedev Lamp

@bottinogames This woulda done numbers on vine

This is, unironically, where the HYPERBEAT character model came from:

@drattzy It was no problem! I had a lot of fun helping to show off Alterium Shift

Shoutout to @Simpathey for helping us run the booth. Make sure to give her a follow!

The first day of #PAXWest was a success. Thanks to everyone who came by the booth!

I am super early in development, currently moving the game from Unity to Godot! But appreciate the early support for my weird physics platformer meets liquid sim 💜 store.steampowered.com/app/2872720/Gr…

The indie game I'm making and three of the inspirations behind it.

Grandma Don't Click That won 2nd place in #piratejam, my dream of releasing a game on steam begins now! Thanks @PirateSoftware for hosting and thanks to my jam teammates skullymulder69, Calamilio, @CardboardCowboy and Animadior 💜 Wishlist Here! store.steampowered.com/app/2872720/Gr…

@Over9KTurtles I just wanted to let you know I took your recommendation and have loved Spy X so much! Best recommendation ever thanks so much for telling me about it all these years ago😄

I have entered a new phase - I now by default read comics right to left because of Manga ... On a side note I have been loving My Hero Academia and Mashle. What should I read next? 👀

@MyshioTweets Make sure not to burn out doing a challenge like this, looking forward to see what you make though!

It's been too long but I have had a much needed gap in streaming. Gonna go live on the 30th of March around 6pm PST, see you all then.

@im_a_squid_kid @Technothepig I wish he were here too, he left behind many amazing videos and memories but it just feels like he was gone too soon 😭 Thanks for posting squid kid, you truly were a worthy potato rival.

Three years ago today, my life changed. Thank you Technoblade for the memories and opportunities this made for me, I wish you were here.

@freckledscience Yeah I am fighting a loosing battle trying to balance everything so figured I would step away now to regroup. I mean, I love Twitch I just also love my job and the games I am working on too. Its hard 😔

I am really sad to say I need to step away from Twitch until 2023. I am overwhelmed with juggling my full time software job, game dev, content and health. I am really sorry to all the people that support me on Twitch, all I can say is I promise I will be back.

@AnderssonKev @PatrikAntonescu Omg 😍

Another PaperKlay concept by @PatrikAntonescu This is the "snowy mountains" level where you'll find the Pinecone Village. #gamedev | #screenshotsaturday

@Ajo1322 I went to an irl play test event and sped run playing some awesome indie works in progress 💙

YOU BETTER BE PLAYING SOME INDIE GAMES THIS WEEKEND 👁👁

@LeoLovesAI Oh boy 🥲

Do you ever feel burned out working on your #indiegame ? 😭 #IndieGameDev #indiedev

Played this and it was real fun. I might want to 1v1 some people in co-op chess. Who out there do the chess thing? 😋

@rtparty3 My game stars a sheep as the protagonist UwU

My original album comes out in 2 days WOOOO! Here's a clip from my tune "Resistance"! I have always had SUCH a hard time writing music that sounds like a battle theme... so I wrote a battle theme about how hard it is to write music that sounds like a battle theme 🙃

@manisha_w96 OMG that sounds so fun, enjoy your trip!

Heyyo been on vacation/workation in Europe for the last month so Game dev's been slow lately 😅 Can't wait to get back into things. I've been working on a new music track though AND I will be at Unite in Montreal! Hope to meet some of you there! Looking forward to it 😁

@teej_dv I guess indie studios are really where the biggest culture change could happen. Would be a dream if I could get my own game studio off the ground. I have released a lot of smaller games but only just now am I diving into the commercial space.

@Simpathey We need simpathey studios! Start your own company and be like "we're not doing that here"

So I work at a software company (4 years now), I told a coworker who is ex-game industry that I sometimes think about going into the games industry myself. Here are some things he told me that scare me:
