@DigiMishaps @TheGDEX Ummm... I never really thought about that. We don't have a store front right now. So I guess you can DM us if you want us to send you some.

We're excited to be exhibiting @TheGDEX this weekend! If you're at the show come on by and say hello. #GameDev #IndieGames #Gaming #GDEX2025 #GDEX2025 #SuperSunday #CORGSCON #ColumbusEvents #GamingExpo

Kicking off #gdex2025 weekend with Dev Day sponsored by @unitygames in the B Meeting Rooms directly across from Exhibit Hall B. See you soon!!

[GDEX @TheGDEX]

We’re getting so excited for GDEX x Corgcons 2025, but we need a little help from our community.

This year, sponsorships are down—we’re sitting at just 35% of our usual support. And while ticket sales are up (about 40% ahead of last year!), we’re still working to cover the core costs of running the event.

If you believe in what GDEX stands for—a community-first, independent, game-loving event—please consider donating. Even a small contribution helps keep the show strong and allows us to plan for the future.

🎮 Donate here:

If you can’t give, sharing the link helps just as much.
Thanks for being part of this awesome community. We can’t wait to see you in September!

Sometimes game dev means doing the exact same thing over and over again until your operating on muscle memory. My tower defense currently has four tower each with 7 levels, each level has an upgrade and idle animation, and way too many transitions to create this nice web.

This is so cool!

@otsoga_ I love seeing animations in this state! It's so cool seeing a character with a new animation switching to the raw Mannequin in game as well.
