We thought the world needed more stage-based NES hard platformers, that also have full accessibility features, so we're almost done with our second one! #StreetCleaner #synthwave #indiedev #pixelart #WishlistWednesday https://t.co/wIY20lgtXb

@IndieGameLawyer Street Cleaner 2 was a farming sim, depicting the years Slade spent in hiding as a lumberjack.

@MommysBestGames Wishlisted so hard it exploded!

@taxincluded On the other hand: “You spoony bard!”

[Brooks Bishop @BrooksBishop]

@taxincluded Nailed it. I know. Thank you. Moving on.

@neoncowell @MAGFest If you get a chance, you should go play the Bumpy Grumpy cabinet. Nathan's a good dude! https://t.co/Lsh4cBJfQu

Hey everyone this Thursday to Sunday I will be at @MAGFest with my hand-crafted arcade cabinet showcasing Bumpy Grumpy! 🚗
Come by and play and say hi! 👋
(That's @johnblueriggs in the pic, not me, but you can say hi to him too if he's there :) )

@authorblues I got a good laugh when I noticed he slipped this little callback to the AVGN part from an hour earlier into the script.

[Brooks Bishop @BrooksBishop]

@authorblues Or the episode of Property Brothers where they have one of them watch a baby so everyone else can get to work. They had him play peek-a-boo with the baby, and got a shot from the baby's POV. Which of course means there was no baby, it was just him making faces into a camera.

[Brooks Bishop @BrooksBishop]

@neoncowell Aww yeah. Work it, Ian.

@Succinct_Punchy I found a YouTube video of someone pirate emulating a game I released on the Switch, and in a bunch of places the emulator was swapping the red and blue channels in the graphics. I think the person didn't know the difference, so that was pretty funny.

[Brooks Bishop @BrooksBishop]

@taxincluded It'll be real funny when they learn that studios don't put lions and bears and hawks and such into recording booths to get animal noises.

@shatteredrift @EmberShadow2 @happycowgames @colorgravemhin Always happy to talk shop!

[Brooks Bishop @BrooksBishop]

@BootdiskRev The other fun thing about making something "arcadey" is fine tuning your difficulty so it ramps up to hard enough to make people dump in quarters, but not so hard they want to give up.

[Brooks Bishop @BrooksBishop]

@BootdiskRev I've found the game dev mastodon to be pretty nice so far. https://t.co/RdVfgtQ6Gx

I'm @Brooks there

[Brooks Bishop @BrooksBishop]

@pidgeliotto @StreetCleaner82 Either that, or "Cleets Treaner."

[Brooks Bishop @BrooksBishop]

@VikingGuitar Sweet, I'll have to watch that next. I just finished Sandman, which was even better than I'd hoped.

[Brooks Bishop @BrooksBishop]

@neoncowell Both options are good.
