Hey yall. Unfortunately a large portion of the ivy road team was laid off today, myself included. We're all looking for work! Gonna do a quick thread about those who were laid off today and why you should hire them:

🔊🎛️ I have nothing on Audacity, but my little sound effect library manager now has a simple audio mixer where I can trim, fade, and layer effects directly from the library!

The tool will be FOSS, releasing in a few days 👀

Moin! I’m new here 😅 What should I expect? What’s different around here?

I make games as a hobby. On the Google Play Store you can find Meowglider and Mobile Doomer Simulator.

On itch.io I’ve released a calm little RPG called Auf der Suche nach dem verschwundenen Kätzchen (German only).

And on Steam my main project Purrfect Galaxies will launch for World Cat Day 2026.

If you like this, any support would power up my dev-energy! 😼🚀

Finally, an idea I am happy with! This is the third mockup for the Uplifting #gamejam that I want to enter. It follows on from the card game theme of the second, but with a different setting and mechanics. Now to actually make it...!

Hey friends, after ten years in the industry the layoffs finally found me.

I'm looking for roles in front end engineering and/or the intersection of engineering and communication (tech lead, developer advocate, that kind of thing). If you hear of anything, or you need some web work done, or maybe you need a programmer to get your Godot game across the finish line?, hit me up!

I've been working on some dynamic game music #BespokeSynth - it exports stems automatically (just puts them in weird places).

Also the project is approaching 33 thousand downloads on itch (only 30-ish to go).

Thanks to everyone for their help and interest in the project.

Greetings everyone, hope you're all doing well. After months of inactivity and some work, I decided to release a new minor version of this project, adding some random things that have come to mind her...
