@RealAndroidgal @ScoreSaber just PC I assume, Umbra (the main person behind scoresaber development) said that scoresaber will be updated for quest once BMBF is out, but we are still waiting for BMBF. There are some pretty major changes being done there so it has taken a while, hopefully it'll be soon.

@TheMiniBunnies They just think it was an accident, it was totally planned

After School Afterlife now has a steam page! Make your way out of a haunted Peranakan mansion in this musical metroidvania and eat tasty food along the way!

Wishlist on steam now!

Just started playing Half-life:Alyx, after around 40 minutes of playing I realized I should eat. opened the fridge and tried to gravity glove a sandwhich out.

Not sure if the game is just so immersive or I'm dumb. Then there is the possibility of: both.

sometimes I wonder why I am not making game assets professionally

We never know what to expect when our programmer creates placeholder assists.

"I think I made the key too big"

We're not sure, what do you think?

@Spideypeanut @TheMiniBunnies No, sadly I have not had time to look at the new sequences introduced in 2.3 as we upgraded fairly recently.
It’s just a simple custom script with one timer to control which scene is playing and another for the current scene, that timer is used to calculate positions and scaling

[Ívan Bjarni Jónsson @ivanbje]

@derekachoy @TheMiniBunnies I promise to do my best!

My beautiful placeholders rarely make it through :(
maybe it's time for an easter egg?

[Iron Bramble (Wishlist now!!) @TheMiniBunnies]

We have this "boss fight" we are working on where you fight a chef. As I'm busy drawing the opening sequence... @ivanbje got... creative with the placeholder art. But I think it's better this way?? #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

[Ívan Bjarni Jónsson @ivanbje]

@BonteAvond you should do telegram as well :P

@happysquaredOW @yeo_niki @yeojoey Regardless of whether it is a scary game, It's one of the hardest part of some games. How barely visible is it supposed to be?

"I think I can see it, but I'm not sure, is that too dark? just right? I'll make it a bit brighter, now I can see it quite clearly, is that too bright?"

[Ívan Bjarni Jónsson @ivanbje]

@odinzate I just have one bottle of “something” next to my bath that i use for everything. It’s blue.

But when it comes to bubbles... I have a selection of bath bombs and liquids

[Game Raven Review @GameRavenReview]

@TheMiniBunnies Haha, was scrolling through my feed quickly looking for a specific post. Took my a couple seconds tó realize what I saw, had tó scroll back up. Did push a new picture on sunday night though. I think you might be pleasantly surprised how detailed the new placeholder is 😅

[Ívan Bjarni Jónsson @ivanbje]

I never knew Newgrounds would be so active still. it's been a crazy week with Hazel the plant witch on the front page, so many lovely comments.

Never would have dreamt I'd have a game featured on the front page of Newgrounds 😊

Who's betting on twitter being next? or are they funding this? Everytime something goes down, all of us start tweeting.

[Ívan Bjarni Jónsson @ivanbje]

First Facebook messenger is down, then gmail/google drive and now telegram. #telegramdown

@AwkwardArtemis @MuradMGaming Yup. It's crazy how much positive impact these games have had on my life. Dark Souls 3 in particular, it was the first one I played to completion. My friend lent me his laptop to play the first Dark Souls (I had a macbook), but sadly it crashed before I reached the capra demon.
