Bloomzeye - Bloomzeye Makes Indie Games!

This is huge!

Never forget the children of Iraq. Never forget the children of Syria. Never forget the children of Yemen. Never forget the children of Libya.

And never forget the children of Palestine, gone far too soon with each second the US not only remains complicit in their ongoing genocide, but actively funds it.

Never forget.

Hey guys, important update from Mona. They have arrived in central Ghazzah and are able to continue their initiatives and activism after setting up camp. Since the last drive, she managed to accumulate enough funds to pack & distribute a whole heap of vegetables to the displaced people in Khan Younis! You guys have helped feed nearly 80 families if not more! Don't forget to donate! Every dollar counts! P*ypal.

G*f*ndme to distribute basic necessities in Ghazzah.

G*f*ndme for Mona & her family to evacuate.

Instagram to keep track of progress.

(If you live in India or Pakistan and want to donate, contact her through the means listed on her account).

Don't forget! None of this is possible without Mona and her family's diligence and work. If you would like to send her a thank you note or well wishes, please include it in the replies to this post, in your tags, or in the comments! She always appreciates them ♡

I’m no tumblr historian…but when has a game engine ever been trending on this app??

userbase: can you stop fucking with the ui and employing terfs?

staff:

Here's a website where Palestine GoFundMes are vetted and shared that you can send out to people. The url is gazafunds.com

Easy to use and simple. Just share the site whenever someone asks for GFMs for Palestine.

For artists and creatives that are indie game lovers, it’s always awesome to meet new artists and developers! I’ve found fellow artists and game devs by doing game jams (essentially, quick concept / prototype games traditionally made between 72 hours) since I first started making indie game.

I do all my game jams through itch.io, but there can also be in your local indie dev scene and other online platforms.

Game jams are also a great way to test how you work with others, problem solve, and lean how to communicate yourself. Builds confidence too!

I am being so serious when I say: if you have the financial and time privilege to get a group of friends together and make an indie project, PLEASE do. Indie games, indie animations, indie comics etc etc

the art industries are kind of in the shitter. It’s not so much because of AI (though that doesn’t help) but because studios just aren’t hiring people and funding projects anymore. People who’ve been in the industry for decades are finding themselves struggling, and once you have a mortgage or kids it’s harder to do something as risky as making something on your own.

completing projects is hard. it takes a lot of time and effort, and most people can’t afford it. so if you CAN afford to make art, even at the risk of no financial gain, I strongly encourage you to be as resilient as you can. We’re at a point where these industries are not going to turn around by themselves, and waiting for jobs to open up again in order to get experience and portfolio work might not be realistic.

people have been making art and telling stories longgggg before we were getting paid for it, and people aren’t going to stop just because no one has hired them to do so.

for everyone else: support indie artists when you can!!!! That person who made that cool indie game or youtube animation or webcomic might be doing this full time! your support might be the only reason they’re able to keep doing it.

and if you have already started an indie project: you’re so brave and I’m very proud of you!!! in fact, drop a link to it in the reblogs if you want! 👇

holy shit the new unity pricing plan

I forgot the password for this account, so I was posting via my personal art account 😅

My first indie game is almost ready on itch.io!

Again, not logging into my game dev tumblr (@bloomzeye) for reasons, but my first indie game, Bubble Bumble, is almost ready to play! Here's the itch io page for it: https://bloomzeye.itch.io/bubble-bumble

Ahhhhh! I have basically zero followers on this page, but I don't care! I've made a video game, something I never thought I could even do, and I'm happy about it!
