These bubbly cute yet poisonous Snake Slime have undergone quite a few animations over the course of development of our roguelike deckbuilder. What do you think of the animation changes?

I made this action figure character for my toy-themed game, but I don't know if he gets the concept across. Is he "action-figurey" enough?

EXCEL Based Games?
One thing I haven't seen a lot of on YT are games made using Excel - obviously there are graphical limitations, but I have been having a whole bunch of fun making excel games (mix of formula and VBA).
I have been loving making games in excel and testing my abilities. The whole experience has been really fulfilling for me!

What counts as a wholesome game?
Hey!
I'm wondering if people could help me understand what counts as a wholesome game?
I've read that a wholesome game can be cosy and relaxing, but I've also seen that any game that is non-violent or non-competitive also counts as wholesome in some way.
I'm asking because I'm a game developer making an adventure detective game similar in gameplay to Return of the Obra Dinn. The player pieces together a series of memories to find clues about a missing person. The story is very much about love and the details of their relationship though, but it's also quite a sad story. Kind of like To The Moon in that sad sense.
Would this count as wholesome?

This is Last Time I Saw You, the narrative game I've been working on for the last few years. If you want to play something similar to Night in the Woods but set in Japan and with Yokai, this game is for you! ⛩️👻

Looking for Testers for an in-development Wholesome/Cozy game
Hi everybody!
My name's Sebastian and I'm in the process of making a wholesome/cozy game focusing on NPC relationships within a three day time loop. The game is Barty's Adventure, a clockwork game inspired by Majora's Mask and Toy Story (among many other things!). In it, you control Barty Bear, a teddy bear searching for three missing puppies throughout the large world of the House.
The main feature of the game is the timeloop mechanic, where you choose what gets "locked" in the loop with you, and what resets. This includes powerups (jump, dash, etc.) or NPC relationships (the best friend you just made, your new mortal enemy, etc.). Do you want to keep those awesome floaties that allow you swim across the Bath, or would you rather maintain your friendship level with Ava Cado?
Holy Mole: Ava hopes you choose her!
The game is in a very early stage, but I was hoping to find some people interested in this setup to test what's there so far. After speaking to the mods here, they were gracious enough to let me post the opportunity here: https://sebastianasaro.itch.io/bartys-adventure-01-version
Keep in mind that this is the bare bones of bare bones, but I still appreciate you checking out this SUPER early build of the game. Please share any feedback or bugs you may find, and hopefully you enjoy the world I've made! Thank you!
