Making some QoL updates to SkyMuseum I think you'll all be pretty delighted by. @davis.social and I are coming up with a few ways to make the experience even better for artists and their audience.
Give us a follow @twigbit.games to stay up to date!

Game Dev Journal: Day 42. The tomatoes have claimed the farm.
screenshot from an upcoming game by Twigbit Games. The player character has a wooden log that appears to be through their body thanks to a bug in the code.

Poor spirit 🥹
The Sue Sylvester "so toxic meme, except it says "I'm going to create a world that is so full of hidden treasure"
Just a normal day at @twigbit.games
A figure with purple hair, wearing a green shirt and blue pants, stares out over an open sea while fluffy snow falls. The sun is setting with an orangish hue. They are standing on a bridge with trees and foliage to the right.
The first snow falls 😌
A small, stylized fantasy character with short curly purple hair and pointed ears stands smiling, holding a wooden staff. They wear a teal tunic with patches, a belt, brown boots, and a simple necklace of a fish hook with a glowing gem held inside, painted in a soft watercolor style with colorful splashes in the background.
Something new is growing 🌱
It is now...😏
Huge announcement coming this year. Stay tuned everyone!
Hey everyone! We're alive and still working on the next game. We're really excited to share more soon.
In the meantime, we've added a section on the website to highlight some of the other things our team is up to. Be sure to check it out!

SkyMuseum is live!
We hope you enjoy playing our game as much as we loved making it. What started as an experiment is now a full 3D gallery where you can explore Bluesky feeds and art shares like the works of art they truly are.
Download it here: twigbit.itch.io/skymuseum
The above video is featuring one of @davis.social's #PortfolioDay feeds!:

Thank you so much for the feature, @sarahp.bsky.social! This is a great list!
In the wise words of Shania Twain:

The Twigbit Games painting hanging out in SkyMuseum. They are yellow game devices that look like old Pokemon Pikachu Tamagotchis and are marching in the style of the Bob-omb Battlefield painting in Super Mario 64.
Ya know what, I don't think I ever posted the full painting I did for SkyMuseum. Here it is in all its Twiggy glory!
Fun fact: Those marching Twiggys are a 3D model that I then did a quick paint over to achieve the effect.
The feature you've all been waiting for has arrived: Auto-refresh!
Now when you host galleries you can hang out and enjoy new posts without needing to restart!

Something cute is coming your way by next Otter Day 🦦😉
Neat!
No plans for mobile at this time, unfortunately.
Three players standing in the main foyer of SkyMuseum. One has a pink shirt and a crown next to the name lars.bsky.social, the next has a black shirt with davis.social, and the third is the current player wearing a teal shirt with no name above them.
A black screen with the text "Gallery is closed: The curator has closed the museum. Please join a new gallery, or host your own."
A screenshot of the main menu, with the options for new Gallery Types: Search String, Feed URL, and Post URL.
A screenshot of the start menu with a shirt colour picker set to pink, displaying a full color picker, eyedropper, and hex code input.
Version 0.5.0 is live! Lots of fun updates like new gallery types, player customization, a game ended screen, and player handles.
You can read more and download the new version at twigbit.itch.io/skymuseum/de....
Is Bluesky really worth it for game devs? r/IndieDev
Well, Sky Museum runs *on Bluesky.* So, we’d say it works pretty well for game devs. 🥰
Now I'm running around @babeandoak.bsky.social's art share in Sky Museum. I love art shares, and this is especially fun to see the art framed in a museum 🥰
JUST LOOK AT THAT FOLKS!
Oh no! It looks like Itch is experiencing trouble. Hopefully it's back up soon: downforeveryoneorjustme.com/itch-io
