This is the day! My short #game Karambola about emotional fruit-people is now available on #Steam (including #SteamDeck ). Still for free :)

I invite you to experience something totally weird, but uplifting, filled with puzzles & folksy music!

If you've already played, then you can gather cute achievements, experience new "almost-HD" quality;) and translations to Simplified Chinese, Russian & Polish!

Ooooooh!! Ginger seems impressed that my game Karambola is coming to Steam in just 2 days (June 16th).

This is one of my favourite scenes from the game :)

Just a heads up: I found a lot of cool, unused content from the game, that I forgot existed and I will be spamming you a bit with it :) Hope you don't mind ❤️

I had the opportunity at #maker faire at local #fablab here in Warsaw to #engrave my #holypangolin and #karambola #logo onto a plywood box. It was pre-cut, but still it was a nice intro to laser-cutting.

In the background there is an awesome #fly or a #bee, but I don't know who made it and can only wish to have this skill 🔥

This is another one of the cat drawings I made as a commission back in 2007, when my specialty were realistic cat portraits in ink. ❤️

And here is Golomp in motion: 🕊️❤️ 🎥

I originally composed this theme for one of our games - here I used the raw piano-only tune. 🎼 🎵 🎹 🎶

Let me introduce Golomp - a wooden puppet of a pigeon ("gołąb" in Polish). They are a mix of Australian crested pigeon and #steampunk city pigeon, non-binary, a bit curious and VERY expressive :)

Made on an online workshop by Puppets in Prague (highly recommended).

My first game "Karambola" is finally coming to Steam next week on June 16th!

It's a short surreal story about helping cute, weird, emotional fruit-people deal with dark thoughts. It’s filled with logical puzzles, handmade graphics, original music, and is altogether a rather contemplative and heartwarming experience.

Add it to your Wishlist now! (please!) to experience it all-new, including "almost-hd" shader, achievements, bug fixes, and my most honestest gratitude <3

If you can't human today, maybe try to badger <3

I started out by making ink drawings - especially cat portraits, as gifts or commissions. This one shows one of the cats I'm taking care of right now, in his usual sleeping position, among the catnip :) ❤️

However, the cat amount in my family is growing so fast, I'm already 8 cats behind with my drawings!

As you can see, this one is from 2013, and I was really into Art Nouveau back then 😅 🔥.

I animated this original #candle holder for our #indie #game ODGŁOS. The #sculpture was made by wonderful @zelaworkshop (IG) :)
I immediately thought it had very #mysterious #character. Paired with haunting #sounds from Polish Radio Experimental Studio and #retro #style #stopmotion #animation, this awkward #creature came to life :)
---
You can #play ODGŁOS for #free on our website.

phosh 0.20.0~beta1 is out 🚀📱 :

Couple of days late due to #Debian Reunion in HH but here we go:

* swipe gestures on top and bottom bar
* quick settings and top bar on lock screen
* Revamp settings menu
* Lots of detail fixes

It's a beta since we want to put some final touches on gestures and top-bar to not regress (see https://gitlab.gnome.org/groups/World/Phosh/-/milestones/2#tab-issues).

Check out the full release notes https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/tags/v0.20.0_beta1 for details.

Another clip from our #indie #game "Odgłos". I animated this original #sculpture "The #joy generator", which was made by my friend (IG @zelaworkshop). I was #happy to be able to give it life through my animation :)

Sound on!

The sounds in this #stopmotion animated game come exclusively from Polish Radio Experimental Studio - a birthplace of #electronic #music in #Poland.

This is a magical shader that makes my 6-year-old game "Karambola" look like it's actually from 21st century! Can you see the difference?

And what's the occasion?
The #game is finally coming to #Steam and #SteamDeck on June 16th (for #free)!

Add it to your #Wishlist
https://store.steampowered.com/app/765480/Karambola
...so you won't miss it!

Along with:
- the ability to gather the cutest achievements
- to be the first to know when we add the secret DLC
- almost-tactile-virtual-hugs from your emotional #fruit friends!

#Owls and #drums are the best combo ❤️
That's why we have them also in our #indie games!

Here's a #drumkit #puzzle from ODLOT - our short #gamejam creation, which resulted in longer ODGŁOS. They both exclusively use #sounds from Polish #Radio #Experimental Studio and #legendary Black Room, which was a birthplace of Polish #electronic music.

By playing both #games you can learn more about history of PRES and immerse in its atmosphere (amplified by #retro style #animation).
