I would not trust Brave. Their founder has backed anti-gay laws, which is already reprehensible.

The browser itself supports crypto, replaces ads (a security risk), and at one point injected affiliate links.

For a browser focusing on privacy, the latter two are massive red flags.

Here's a full article giving the rundown: https://www.spacebar.news/p/stop-using-brave-browser

It's never too late or too early for a bit of Pride! ​ ​

Arts by Vega (starhound_ on the twitters)

Just finished reading an article about making small games that really resonated with me. I like the idea that not each game has to be huge and strive to be a big viral success. Just making a piece of art that is self contained, fulfilling and doesn't overstay its welcome can be enough.
I think that's one of the reasons why I enjoy game jams so much, paired with the shared excitement and seeing other people's takes on a theme.

Give it a read:

Debugging: The murder mystery game where you are the investigator, the witness, the victim, and the perpetrator!

Star Beasts

Your ship has stopped in deep space to perform repairs. The crew are on a spacewalk when predators warp in from hyperspace. Protect the crew! Eliminate the predators!

Frantic shoot-em-up action inspired by 8-bit classics such as Uridium, Defender, Robotron, Asteroids and Thrust.

I had a blast with this one! I mixed my love of retro stuff with modern meme stuff while illustrating and designing this piece. Planning to do more in this theme and aesthetic, it was so much fun!

The core moral lesson of Star Wars is that Fascists are bad and it's good to shoot them (with lasers), and while the property has plenty of issues, I still think that's a pretty strong basic ethos.

I drew the Lamb from memory in class so enjoy

Finished new tile set art for the demo levels. I really love how these look! The demo is really coming along and I hope folks will want to play it!

Being a programmer is like having a puppy who isn't potty trained yet, so you spend half your day walking around cleaning up messes and sighing loudly

except you are also the puppy
