🦀 ANOTHER CRAB'S TREASURE IS OUT NOW 🦀
The world's crabbiest soulslike is available now on Steam, Nintendo Switch, Game Pass and PS5‼️
We did it folks 🥹 Time for crab.
Fat Yoshi is back on his bullshit in his latest adventure: Fat Yoshi's Crafted Fucking World! Poop out eggs with that trusty tongue, then fraudulently claim the eggs as dependents on your next tax return! What can't Fat Yoshi do?
@NintendoAmerica
Awesome seeing so much interest in Fat Yoshi's Fucking Island. Here's another look at the Polished Content that the Tireless Devs have been working on for our Passionate Fans!!!

Here's a little trick I like to use to get a 'doodle' effect in Unity: Instead of hand-drawing different frames of the same sprite, you can put the sprite on a mesh and offset the vertices with a normal map that scrolls heavily X times per second.

Just got off a call w/ Unity. The reps were nice folks but ultimately didn't say anything that gives us confidence that this company is to be trusted
A lot of their answers boiled down to "you can work with your acct manager to iron things out!" man I just want a clear policy 🙃
Am I losing my mind? "you only pay once for an install, not like a rev share model"
HOW DO THEY THINK REVSHARE WORKS. DO THEY THINK UNREAL TAKES 5% OF EACH DOLLAR MORE THAN ONCE???

Did you know that the majority of Content Warning was developed on a one-month trip to Seoul, South Korea? 🇰🇷
We sadly didn't get to see much of the city, but oh boy did we eat a lot of great food!
Ok so when does it kick in that we actually had a very successful launch and i did the thing ive been trying to do my whole career???
Cause my body still thinks we're in cert 🙃
Stylized vfx for Going Under! plugging in particle speed to my shader via custom vertex streams to adjust the capsule length makes for some nice stringy bois

my favorite genre of post about our game is like
"oh i thought this game was a shitpost why does it have so much depth and sincerity??" thats aggro crab baby we tried to tell u but y'all only retweet the gun 😅
@coreywarning
If you have an existing audience, are making a multiplayer game, and can justify shadowdropping the project, then yes its a recipe for success!
This vid has over 500k views on tiktok and its literally just showing the dead simple tool we wrote to randomize coral colors. Total wakeup call to the gap between what I find interesting as a dev vs what the audience does.
A little over a year ago it was Caelan and I scrambling to get this game off the ground, an idea ive had for 5+ years. Now we have a team of 10+ amazing folks and we just announced with Nintendo
im so happy
Game 2 is: ANOTHER CRAB'S TREASURE
- An underwater soulslike -
🦀 Crab vs crab combat
🗑️ Wear trash as shells
🌊 Explore a corrupted ocean
📉 Dismantle crabitalism??
thanks for waiting y'all. we finally announced. i can go cry now 😭
Hey I'd like to genuinely apologize for the tweet I made on the Aggro Crab account! I thought I was just spouting an old meme but I wasn't aware of the history of harassment behind that sentiment.
The last thing I'd want to do is align us with that crowd. It won't happen again.
I honestly believe we could be making games so much easier if we just pick our fkin battles on what to give a shit about.
Not every pixel has to be perfect, you CAN use props from the asset store. These things do not stain the core of your game and 99% of players don't notice.
The discourse is fucked when Potionomics is used as an example of this sentiment, a case where a small team spent over 6 years of blood, sweat, and tears to achieve Disney level graphics never before seen in an indie game.
Please give juniors a chance! Another Crab's Treasure is the first launched game for the majority of the team! Juniors will thrive if their leads are goated and have a strong vision, I feel so lucky my boss took a chance on all of us, truly a phenomenal team!
In three weeks of taking Tiktok seriously we have surpassed our following on Twitter that we've amassed over three years. INDIES this should tell you something.
ARE YOU FR 😭😭
Thank you for playing Another Crab's Treasure.
We're happy to see you all having fun (but not too much, it IS a souls game)
ok brb gonna go fix more bugs ❤️🦀
I'm really proud of our game's marketing!!!!
Yeah we fought tooth and nail for every opportunity for the last two years but at least it shows we can do this semi reliably and dont have to wonder anymore if our games will get a chance at life
All with no publisher :3
This blew up so I gave it another pass since some nerds in my mentions offered a faster method. If you add the normals to the sprite's UV instead of to the vertices of a mesh, you dont have to use an expensive vert function and instead can plop the material on any SpriteRenderer!
Calling on other studios affected by this to put out their own statements from their studio accounts. The more pressure we can put on them NOW from legitimate sources the more likely this gets rescinded.
Was messing around in Pokemon Snap and had this idea to paint my photos 😁. The graphics are shitty enough to where I can get a nice composition but still have to get creative with rendering
Advice to fellow indies: did someone help you make your game? Put them in the credits.
Keep a doc going so you dont forget whos gonna be in the credits. Nothing is too small to go in the credits. Put ppl you've burned bridges with in the credits. Put mom and dad in the credits.
YOUR INTERNSHIP SUCKS.
Going Under, our satirical roguelike where failed startups make for cursed dungeons, is OUT NOW!!

Went into Another Crab's Adventure thinking it was another cute 3D Platformer/hack n slash
but it turned out to be a Souls-like and I got fucking decapitated SIASIYAKHBASG
Hi! I just trained a model to draw in the style of the late Kim Jung Gi, as an hommage.
I'm fairly happy with the results, given how complicated is his style.
Hope you like it, feel free to use it by yourself (credit plz) :

Devolver has always had more arthouse titles that they don't give their full marketing power, but yeah this one I've especially never heard of. I wouldnt say this is a sign of Big D falling off but its a clear sign no publisher, even Devolver, can will a game into popularity.
Yeah so indie devs, this is why I hate Reddit
Made a marketing post at launch on r/gaming that quickly rose to the top because the trailer is good and we gave it the perfect clickbait title
MODS DELETED IT FOR NO REASON
🎉 our first game announcement is here!!! 🎉
Animal Well is a pixelated wonder rendered in intricate audio and visual detail from
@Billy_Basso
see more on our site, and remember to wishlist on Steam & PS5!
Relieved we were able to act as quickly as we did and Paige is ok now. Insane that this happened at a PRIVATE INDUSTRY EVENT. Just some fucking monster. Stay safe folks.
It's lingering around already so just wanna clarify that yes I got roofied last night
I'm safe because I was lucky enough to be around a lot of incredible friends to keep me safe, but the entire process was real scary - so PLEASE stay safe out there
Nobody at Aggro Crab (besides the team who worked on Going Under) has shipped a commercial game before joining Another Crab's Treasure. They're great, have fresh perspectives, and in areas where they lack experience we take the time to train them up!
Hire juniors!!
Seems like every game studio is hiring, yet finding it difficult to fill every role they need.
Everyone is making something insanely ambitious, yet competing for limited resources in the form of skilled & experienced workers, but nobody wants to train juniors... Unsustainable.
having a tough time getting back into work after launch..
I am realizing how much of my motivation came from having Something To Prove, and not, yknow, the love of the craft 😬
now what lol
As someone who runs a studio I don't see how you could want anything less than to meaningfully improve the lives of each person you are fortunate enough to work with.
If that's not your first priority you're in it for the wrong reasons, Bobby
LMAO god forbid a game actually try to find an audience instead of another self-indulgent passion project that also thinks its entitled to people's attention
I wanna ship a HIT. Like some Hollow Knight level shit. I want the pride and fanart and cash money that comes with it!!!
After that, make the aggro crab industrial complex self-sustaining without my input and go fuck off to the corners of the world where 7/11 sells onigiri
I feel like almost everyone in this industry has some kind of long term career goal or an ideal end game of their career.
My career end goal is to serve as a Game Director or Creative Director for the duration of at least 1 game. What’s yours?
Turned 28 yesterday 👴
I've spent the majority of my 20s On The Grind in some form and my creaky geriatric bones are starting to take notice. Like I cant think of the last time I didn't have a game to ship and i wanted to post some thoughts on that:
Always wanted to do one of these 🥹
I can finally share that I'm now a scout for Kepler/Kowloon! (in whatever spare time I have left)
