This amazing Steam sale for a bunch of good causes ends on Sunday! The Crimson Diamond is part of the event (but not on sale, because I messed up my sales scheduling π’), but a portion of the proceeds of its sales during the event will be going to these amazing charities!
Thanks for the wonderful chat, Steven! A great conversation, please give a listen:
Chords:
- SEGA CD Snatcher-inspired adventure
- Energy-filled OST by @superjetspade.bsky.social
- Gorgeous pixel art by @108stars-pixelart.bsky.social
- A storyline with more twists than SEGA OutRun
- A @hideokojimaen.bsky.kojimaproductions.jp indie love letter

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only dev with a deep-seated belief in the power of a sittable chair. To add to my thoughts in the video: I think in-game sittable chairs allow devs to be gracious hosts to their players, to help them feel welcome to an experience without an expectation to act.πͺ
I love this game, but it doesn't want me to win. Hopefully next week I'll have some ideas of how to unstick myself! π€ youtu.be/aaaVTAyOZ8w
Latest VODs are out now! The return of DOS Double Dragon, more progress on a pixellated fancy hotel Mr. Darcy (he's a cat π±) photos, and stuck AGAIN in Karuizawa YΕ«kai Annai π youtu.be/27nSzO0b9GY

Oh nooooo
I realized I hadn't shared @cabel.panic.com's clip of my Photoshop revelation (which he cut back in August 2020!) on BlueSky yet, so as a tribute/consolation to everyone feeling this feeling, here you go: youtu.be/HOaWUlpkXig?... π§π€―ππ΅βπ«
@cabel.panic.com look! Another crushing moment of realization! π
Screencap of my livestream, with "Happy Crimson C'Tuesday " handwritten across the bottom. A screenshot of The Crimson Diamond is in the background. There's a speech bubble with a work-in-progress pixel art background for my Mini-Maple Mystery. It's two-storey hotel.
Done for the night! Extra special longer stream, thanks to electricityβ‘! But a lot of that was being stuck in Karuizawa YΕ«kai Annai π. Thanks @thewoofs.bsky.social, @disastersquad.bsky.social, @emfacepalm.bsky.social. & @robotspacer.online for raids, I raided @misterradon.bsky.social! Good night!π
