I adulted so hard this morning... scheduled 2 doctor's appointments, a haircut, and renewed my parking permit.

Meet some local devs. Play their 6 year old game. Find multiple locks. Can't I ever just enjoy? When will I be free of the QA chains?

Also Blippo+ and The House of Tesla, both of which just released today on Steam.

Some new games y'all should check out: - Dead Reset - The Trolley Solution - Little Problems - Rise of Golden Idol 4th DLC - Henry Halfhead - Keep Digging All released this month!

REAL GAMERS GET SPEEDRUN ACHIEVEMENTS ON THEIR CASUAL PLAY. LETS GO!

Passed 500 received awards on Steam. Pretty neat. Mostly on the 50+ guides I've written, but also various reviews, comments, news posts, or my profile.

What a win, baby! 🦅 🦅

KC BBQ #3 @ Q39. Overall, disappointed in KC’s BBQ game. They talk big, have the rep, but I’ve been mostly disappointed across 3 joints. Sausage has been the big winner, brisket the big loser.

KC BBQ #2 at Jack Stack. Pulled pork baked potato.

Sure hope this is spelled as one word @latimes.com and not two!

No diet this weekend… let’s go Birds! Other half already in my belly.

#23. Horrible first game, fantastic adjustment to then throw 19 strikes in a row. 167-300-268 for the night.

Since Aug 1, I have started 11 newly released games... and FOUR of them have launched with broken achievements. Devs: give a free key to an achievement hunter a week before release. They will 100% your game and do free QA and find these problems. DM me and I can recommend folks.

Never ends... soon as Lawn Mowing Sim DLC releases and I re-100% it... Lil Gator Game adds a bunch of new achievements for its upcoming DLC. Can't ever get caught up.

I'm just trying to buy the new Lawn Mowing Sim DLC.

Sorry. Can't help but find it hilarious that Steam, Switch, and Xbox are all being overloaded to failure right now... and nobody can buy The Game.

i've never had to stuff myself as much as i'm doing on this diet.

I'm sorry @phillies.com I stopped listening to the game last night when it was 3-0. I take responsibility for that L; won't happen again.

Tass Tip #3 for #indiedev achievement design: Do not create multiple achievements that will ALWAYS award at the same time. Such as "beat the final level" and "beat the game" This seems self-explanatory to me, but I regularly see stuff like this in games... and, why? Make each achievement rewarding

Someone on Discord asked about the QA Team for Deep Sleep, to which I replied: Ivan is the QA Team... much in the way Fezzik is the Brute Squad.

Not me, frantically swapping between Steam reviews, Steam discussions, Steam revenue dashboard, and multiple Discord servers to stay on top of a launch. Overall, we've got 1 pesky bug to deal with... but damn smooth otherwise. Check out store.steampowered.com/app/1868360/...

Deep Sleep: Labyrinth of the Forsaken IS OUT!

Thank goodness they didn't shadowdrop.

Not us, releasing a new game at the exact same time as the most anticipated game of the past few years has its first news in ages...

New games releasing as a buggy mess makes me so sad, and also mad at whatever person or circumstance led to it happening. And I feel for the devs in the weeds having to deal with negative reviews and player ire.

Tass Tip #2 for #indiedev achievement design: Platinum achievements are bad design and punish players. In most games, one chievo will be the hardest/last and earning that will also get the Plat. This means you are double rewarding people that earn that one, and double punishing those that don't.

Got baited by Netflix. Wasn’t enjoying Sandman s2, but only 6 episodes… so we powered through. Only to finish and find out they added 6 more episodes!! Now we’re stuck for another 5+ hours of this whiny little Endless.

Just rolled credits on my 100% test playthrough of Deep Sleep 4. Another absolute banger coming on August 21st from @scriptwelder.com. This game is bigger and deeper (pun) than anything Mat's made to date. Took me almost 20 hours. Serious turn-based RPG mechanics added to the puzzles and story.

Is This Seat Taken? knows what's up

I’ve decided to try to get a 6-pack. Partner bought plant-based sugar substitute, but apparently my body is Not a fan. Every fart is a game of Russian roulette.

Decided to shelve Booth for now, but finished the other 3 in true speedrunner fashion: Joe Wander - 50h median - 100% in 15h JSB - 30h median - 100% in 13h Last Cube - 12.5h median - 100% in 11.5h But now idk what to play :/

Holy jeebus... new form of creepy solicitation just dropped. A company sent us $0.02 via PayPal with a giant wall of text about their business. Except they sent it to a random @Armor email, which doesn't have a PayPal account. So it'll get returned to them in a month when unclaimed. Cringe.

Finally hit 99% when including Restricted games... nice!! There's about a 0.18 difference due to a game I have 0% on and because of Four Second Forever's buggy achievements.

In my early days at FFR, I tried contacting a number of comedy songwriters I listened to as a kid. Only Tom Lehrer responded, graciously granting us permission to use some of his works. Here's what I wrote about bringing Elements to FFR back in 2007: www.flashflashrevolution.com/ffr/who-is-t...

Tass Tip for #indiedev achievement design: If you are going to have an achievement for compiling a statistic (run x km, get y headshots, smack a boulder z times)... you MUST have a way for players to track their progress!!! In-game or via the platform's API.

Man, I just love getting messages from Apple saying one of our games is being removed because it hasn't been updated in the past 3 years. It's a functioning game. It works. It's complete. Why would we need to update it??? This game was already removed by Google... so now it'll be completely gone.

Did you know that Armor Games Studios is a FULL service publisher? We're here to assist with any and all problems you encounter as a developer!

Nice milestone. 900 unrestricted, 100 restricted.

Of the 19 games I bought for Summer Sale, 16 are for just me (3 I'm playing with Partner). I've 100%'d 12/16 so far in 64 hours. The remaining 4 are likely to take ~105, based on completion data. Wheeee. Joe Wander, Just Shapes & Beats, Booth, and The Last Cube... I'm coming for ya. Slowly.

Playing a detective game called French Crime, and my head cannon is that it's all our French devs committing crimes, and I'm out here "solving" them by pinning them on others. So @seedbyseedgames.bsky.social @kamaeru.bsky.social @severin-soulgame.bsky.social I see you and don't worry... I gotchu.

Of all the movies that never needed to be made… Jurassic World Rebirth is one of ‘em.

I need accounting people at other companies to show some personality, please. We recently hit 120 invoices with a partner (10 years!) and I tried to celebrate this milestone with them and was met with crickets.

I don’t really celebrate holidays or birthdays. But I do celebrate Bobby Bonilla Day. 🎉

Did you know Armor Games has NINE games that are Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam?? And that ALL OF THEM are currently on sale! OMG! store.steampowered.com/publisher/ar...

I have already 100%'d 5 of the 19 summer sale games I purchased. And started on 2 others. I have a problem. We are also halfway through the year (basically)... I have 120 100%s so far in 2025.

Not 30 games... but 19 picked up. Here's to 100%ing all of them.

Best news of the day coming from @skyhookgames.bsky.social with new DLC announcement for Lawn Mowing Sim! Here’s hoping for some hard challenge achievements.
