It increasingly feels like securing a publisher as an indie game dev isn't as much of a "solution" as it used to be. Seems like I'm constantly hearing about devs fighting with publishers or really poor performance on launch. Am I crazy? Is this just some kind of insane bias I've stumbled into because of who I know / the games I pay attention to? Anyone have any like... good stories to share about their publisher?

I wish I knew about the Orbo plush when it came out, I would have bought as many as I could to find it. Are you planning to make a peeb plush?

Probably not for the foreseeable future considering the Orbo plush's failure lol, sorry

hey. you should play "swollen to bursting until i am disappearing on purpose".

rare for a game to make me want to make fanart. rare for a game to have such similar inspirations to something i made and to take then in such a different direction. very captivating and affecting.

last time we talked BLANKSWORD, i implied theres a lot to show - and boy howdy, i wasnt kidding!

this is an actual scene from the early game, played using a cutscene system we got from Friendly Cosmonaut and expanded from her meticulous design. it's BLANK, after being de-brained, finding his way into the house of a pair of friendly fugitives...

if you want to see the game take off, consider supporting my patreon. thank u!

We are in dire financial straits, and until we're not, I will be taking on any and all commissions- I dare you! Don't be shy. Send all requests and inquiries to my email at:

corpse at cicadamarionette dot com

More details below:

Let me describe to you this wonderful offer.

CHARACTER MODELS - $80

I will fashion a "3D Model" of a character or object from your description. I can send renders if you'd like, and/or send the model files themselves. If you want a horrible animation of the character waving their arms, or crying, or digging a grave, just tack on 30 dollars and I will add one to the model and send a complimentary GIF of the model doing this animation as well - if you want to describe a simple 3D environment to be included as a backdrop, add $50. If none of these quite addresses what you want feel free to email me with more questions.

----

YOUR VERY OWN CRYPT - $150

Send me a photo or description of a room or other small environ, and I will make a 3D Model of that environment in the style of the original Crypt Worlds. I will then add it to the original game, as a stand-alone scene, and send you a playable build where you can walk around and piss on things.

I will include 1 NPC from the original Crypt Worlds in the environment, with custom dialogue of your choosing- and if you want I can also have them say something when pissed on. If there's any other stuff from the original game you want added into the scene I'm open to suggestions. If you want me to change the player's portrait (in the bottom left of the game's UI) to a custom photo I can work it into the UI for an additional 10 dollars.

You will have infinite piss in this custom build so the fun will never end.

I haven't made music in a really long time, but recently I was inspired by a friend to pick up FL Studio again and try to compose some combat music.

This is a WIP for Fusion Mourner Jupiter's boss theme.

WARNING: This track is a bit loud lol

500 CALIBER CONTRACTZ Post #16

WISHLIST IT PLZ!

Green Demon!!:

This whole post is gonna be about the green demon challenge that I implemented. For those unaware, the green demon challenge is something that originates from mario 64. It's a self imposed challenge in which you try to complete a level after spawning a 1up without letting it touch you. I love the concept so much, so I decided to add in a lil challenge on certain contracts where you summon a green demon and run around to grab 4 token pieces before it catches you.

The process of making the green demon's graphics was v fun. First, I made a sketch.

Then, I rendered out the head and hands in blender. (The animation is only 6 frames of the head and hands bobbin up n down.) Then, I brought those frames into csp and drew the same face on each frame.

After that, I shrunk that bitch down and dithered it with web colors like I had done with the environment textures.

The final result is something that feels like a geocities gif, and I'm really happy with it.

During playtesting I realized that players need to be able to figure out where the token pieces are gonna spawn before the demon is summoned, so I included these green token pieces to take their place before they spawn. Honestly, the only reason I'm mentioning this is because something in my lizard brain tells me to get very excited when I see floating green collectibles in games. I think it is because of how cool and special I thought the green stars were in Mario Galaxy when I was younger.

Conclusion:

I am aiming to have a demo of this game done with a couple contracts you can play by feb. We will see if this will happn... Other than that I don't got a lot 2 say. Next week u might be seeing some v cool ui if I manage to get it done.

Orbo Plushes!

It's never been a better time to forcibly trap Orbo in your house! Throw him at your ceiling fan! Rub some dirt on him! He's so chill he doesn't even care!

There's only one week left for the plush campaign, so get in there and get yourself a little prince today!

Bisan's recent post. I think it's important for you to read it. Tonight 03.12.23, journalists in gaza share their last messages. There are no words to describe the horrors unfolding in gaza right now.

I no longer have any hope of survival like I had at the beginning of this genocide, and I am certain that I will die in the next few weeks or maybe days. I have been sick with severe viral infection for days and cannot move from the mattress!

I suffer from nightmares that are so closely resemble reality that I no longer differentiate between reality and dream.

I live in a world other than the one I claimed to be building! I am a community activist who lived on the fantasy that the world was free and just, and I sought to bring rights not only to my people, but to many men and women in third world countries!

I was shocked that I was not from the third world! Indeed, we are the most humane and moral! Yes, because the world approves, supports, and finances the genocide we are being subjected to, legislates it, and gives reasons for for 58 days! While we are a people who have been living on occupied land for 75 years and are still searching for our rights and communicating our voice to the world!

My message to the world: You are not innocent of what is happening to us, you as governments or peoples that support Israel’s annihilation of my people. We will not forgive you, we will not forgive you, humanity will not forgive you, we will not forget, even if we die, the history will never forget .

A Message to friends: Thank you and the supporters around the world. You have been compassionate and very strong. We ask you not to lose hope, even if the world seems completely unfair and your efforts have not yet resulted in a ceasefire.
