My son is over and we're playing a bunch of games. My current favorite (and also one of his) is the INCREDIBLE roguelike Death Road to Canada. And like it sounds, you're fighting pixelated digital zombies in the apocalypse, trying to make your way to the safety of Canada. This game is SO fun and replayable (but beatable, we've beaten it three times since he's been here) and I suspect it would make an EXCELLENT party game. Up to four players can jump in and out. Every game is random and you don't win every time, but it's so wild and really hilarious too. I won this game in a giveaway and was pretty psyched but had no idea it was such a great game. Just a blast. You can even make your own characters too (and you'll meet some familiar ones), as you grab buffs, upgrades, and all KINDS of weapons. There's some really cool decision making involved along the way, along with skill you learn and luck you hope to have. Onward to Canada!

The entrance to a cave. In the distance you see ribs towering over you. There is a giant skull decorated with giant red flowers laying on the ground. It is beautiful and terrifying.
Pink glowing flowers dot a shoreline. There are sharp rocks protruding everywhere. The actual shoreline looks like it is made of obsidian. Light is glowing through cracks in the ground. It looks dreamy.
A wall is broken and in the distance, where it broke, you see a nebula. It looks like you are in a hallway in space. There is writing on the wall talking about self-hate and a dialogue bubble just underneath.
I giant skeleton rests against an iridescent obsidian cave wall. The cave is glowing like it is made of stars. It is gently purple, pink, and blue. The skeleton looks like it is made of old rock. It is holding a beautiful large red flower.

This is an article from 2019 but it does show that indie game development, something that has interested me for quite some time now, is far from being all roses with many in the industry living precarious lives.

I already knew that it is hard for the vast majority (or long tail) of developers, but reading actual stories, including from Arvi Teikari who created Baba Is You, a game I bought, provides a lot of perspective.

A group of eyes circles around you, in a cosmic dreamscape. They are asking horrible prying questions.
Two eyes stand beside a giant chain. The chain looks frozen as there are frost marks on it. The space surrounding everything is a cosmic dreamscape. The two eyes are looking at you, asking horrible prying questions.
Ruins of a staircase, and part of a wall, lay embedded in a obsidian hillside. The wall has the word "Freedom" written on it with an arrow pointing to an archway.
The space surrounding everything is a cosmic dreamscape.
In front of a cosmic dreamscape sky is a pop up window with a story titled "Her Eye". It is telling you about the eyes, and that they eventually stop paying attention to you once the novelty of you wears off. It makes sense in context of the game.

Hi there, dear curious being!

You can find me under the names of sowa (Polish for owl) or sowi (short version for hard-for-non-Polish sowiszcze). I avoid using my given name. I use he/his/him pronouns generally. I'm from #Poland, so I know #Polish (#polski) as my native tongue, but use #English way more often, at least on the Internet. I'm learning #Finnish (#suomi) using tools like #Duolingo.

My wife and I have been taking care of #bunny (well, plural should be here) for many years and currently, I'm a #bundad of four #rabbit(s). I can tell you quite a lot about them and show you a lot of their #photos. I love #parrots, too (and #birds in general).

I like a good #Meme or #DadJoke. If you saw sowa on #Imgur or sowiszcze on #reddit - that was me. Also, #DarkHumor is in my domain, since I'm a #Millennial hahaha.

I'm into all things #Pokémon. This includes #Nintendo #Switch #games, #PokémonGO, #PokémonMastersEX, and #collecting #TCG #cards. I foster a small local #community of PGO players, treating #Discord as the main place of operation. I like(d) attending PGO #GOFest and #SafariZone. I've also been involved in #TheSilphRoad for a few years now.

If it runs on #electricity, it's probably a #hobby of mine. Biggest of them being, in no particular order: #IoT and #SmartHome (#HomeAssistant, #ESPHome), #SelfHosting, #PCBuilding, #3DPrinting, #3DModeling. Of course, I picked an #IT related career, so I'm a #SoftwareEngineer. I play #games on #NintendoSwitch, #Playstation, and sometimes #PC. I prefer #IndieGames or relaxing ones.

I can occasionally #vent about stuff, #driving being my main source of anger. On that note, I can be considered #neurodivergent because of my #depression and #anxiety. I try and advocate for the improvement of #MentalHealth everywhere.

Other notable hobbies of mine include #refurbishing, #reusing, #upcycling, #scrum, #agile, #dotnet, #csharp, #electronics, #diy, #fixing, #fiddling, #technology, #fantasy, #NordicMythology, #music, #Szczecin, #tinnitus, #cooking, #baking, #photography

A misty world of pixelated mystery, where stone pillars loom in the distance, and the air is thick with dampness. Is it an ancient ruin, or a decaying relic of the past? What do you think used to be here?

yay! today i finished modeling and animating the first monster that confronts you.
it moves kind of randomly and it has this beautiful static shader so it looks like it crawled out of a broken TV. i'm nicknaming it STATICMAN.
it mocks your desire to be free & you have to argue with it so it lets you go on...

#IndieGames #IndieGameDev #GameDev

a closer view of STATICMAN. it looks like a silhouette of a demon Barbie filled with static. there's a text field under it with a similar effect. it looks jarring.
another angle of the character. you can see a silhouette filled with static. the only indication of a face are glowing white eyes and a mouth that's always open. there's a text field at the bottom of the screen showing what it is saying.
another angle of the same shot showing STATICMAN in a different pose. its mouth is ajar and glowing eyes staring at you. there's a text field beneath it taunting you. the only thing separating you from it are the bars between the two of you.
a closer angle of STATICMAN. you can see the static glowing. it is slightly transparent and you can see the hallway behind it. glowing eyes and mouth are staring at you. it looks unsettling.

Ah, nothing like a creepy, misty landscape to get the ol' blood pumping. I'm sure those ancient, ominous stone cliffs are totally harmless though. Just like that last can of expired beans. What's the worst that could happen?
