I really enjoy painting, but I seem to have less time for it each year. I did try a show once years ago and didn’t sell anything which hurt my confidence a little. The samples in pics are 30x40 oil on canvas with custom frames. Are these good enough to sell?
Picked this up at a little shop in Maui directly from the artist. She has a lot of other great stuff. I’ll link her website in comments.
I often see local art in the businesses downtown and really love that about Bellingham. I’ve been painting for over 20 years and have only shown my work once. I would like to start putting my stuff out there. The paintings above are oil on canvas 30 x 40 inches with handmade frames. I also do portraits and other styles of painting.
I'm the solo dev on SideEye High, a detective game set in a 1997 American high school.
Months ago I quietly buried a real reward in the demo: a $50 Steam gift card for the first person to spot a secret hidden in a background object. No announcement of where, no hint. Then I mostly forgot about it.
It sat unfound for six months.
Last week a player emailed me a screenshot of the "Bribe Found" screen. First person to ever spot it. He wasn't even sure he had the right thing. He just noticed something off about a sign post and followed it. Which is exactly the instinct the game is trying to reward. The game's tagline is "What you miss is what you believe," and the entire thing is built to reward players who notice what everyone else treats as background.
The prize is claimed now, but the Demo's still live on Steam if you want to see how much you'd walk past. (And no, I'm not saying whether there's anything else hidden in there.)
I’ve always loved point and click adventure games, but one thing I couldn’t stand was waiting for the player character to move around. Now I’m making my own game and left the player character out (like it’s 1st person). This way messing with objects is instantaneous instead of waiting for the player character to walk all over the screen. Most games that have released in this genre recently still have that player character on screen. So I’m curious what people think. On screen player character? Or no?

Solo dev. SideEye High, point-and-click detective mystery, 1997 high school setting.
Burned Next Fest way too early. Since then it's been steady but flat. About half of wishlists are organic and the rest from reddit ads.
SideEye High is a detective game based on inspection and observation.
