Just released Snekcross, a dense open-world puzzle about a very long snek crossing a very wide chasm #puzzle #freegame #webgame

New blog post! I show you the prototypes for Sea Magic. nuvobloggo.medium.com/monthly-blog...

I think my copy of the new Homestuck trailer is broken.

It's absurd and dystopian that payment processors get to decide what we can and can't see on the internet. That companies like Visa and Mastercard can use their enormous size to bully companies into taking stuff offline - based on the reactionary politics of a small group.

New blog post! I talk about the design process for Bee Magic. nuvobloggo.medium.com/monthly-blog...

Corru Observer is still one of the coolest (free!) things you can experience in your web browser. A wildly creative genre-hopping xenofiction mystery adventure about hacking into an alien biocomputer to discover why a visiting species cut off contact with humanity. Huge recommendation from me.

Part 4 in my "How to make a game engine for WebAssembly" blog post is out! nuvobloggo.medium.com/how-to-make-...

Out TODAY!! Leaving Home, my point-and-click adventure filled with quirky puzzles and moody tunes 💛 Free on mobile iOS: apps.apple.com/app/leaving-... Android: play.google.com/store/apps/d...

"The game only exists in the player's mind" is a decent design philosophy. Lots of very good results come from that mode of thinking, which is why it's adopted by approximately 99% of the industry. But I don't think it should be treated like a universal truth.

New blog post in which I detail an exciting new milestone for The Words in your Mouth: nuvobloggo.medium.com/monthly-blog...

If Five Step Steve had an "edgy" 90's commercial:

In which I discuss the only movie I have (allegedly) ever seen, and maybe stealthily reveal a new game I've made as well? nuvobloggo.medium.com/monthly-blog...

📣 MAZE MICE IS OUT NOW! It's a bullet heaven roguelite where time only moves when you move. I’m so thrilled to bring my next game to you. 🐭❤️ Get it here: MazeMice.com

Keep an eye out for this one. I don't play many games in "this genre", but I keep coming back to this; It's fun! (Also, I helped Lum a little bit with the board generation algorithm.)

If you DON'T want to know what I've been up to this past month, then DON'T spend 4 minutes reading my new blog post: nuvobloggo.medium.com/monthly-blog...

Happy #screenshotsaturday! You could use some light-hearted fun, right? RIGHT!?!? Lab Rat launches in 10 days. Check it out :) 📢Wishlist HERE📢 store.steampowered.com/app/1304610/...

It's been a while since I've done this, and the world is bleak - so we can all use a little art & creativity. What is everyone creating nowadays? Games, art, music, video, writing, anything - whether it is early, almost done, or just shipped. Feel free to include trailers, images, links - whatever.

I remember being mad when my first few (popular) web games were pirated! But these days I don't even bother to check. (It helps that, in my experience, search engines down-rank pirate sites more than they used to.)

Do you want polls in @bsky.app ? Yes: repost No: like

For the understatement of the century: times are tough right now. With what’s happening in the games industry, in politics, in many of our lives, it can feel overwhelmingly difficult to orient ourselves. I’ve been through a lot of tough times, myself, and here’s what helps me.

It’s been 11 years since the Xbox One, and Microsoft still hasn’t released the Xbox Two. What’s taking them so long?

Lots of good games on this list (disclaimer: my friends have games on here, and so do I.) here's a thread with some of my favorites...

We are delighted to announce the nominees for our latest Thinky Awards, celebrating the best games you loved to solve throughout 2024! 🎉 There are also three Community Choice categories open to the public - so get your votes in! thinkygames.com/awards/

In spite of all the awful news happening around us, it’s important to take time to celebrate good news, even if it’s miniscule. Tonight: I’m celebrating the quality of life improvements that are coming to Deltarune (and the fact that it’s still making smooth progress!)

New blog post! A lot of game announcements in this one: nuvobloggo.medium.com/monthly-blog...

After years away from game dev, I couldn’t stay silent about my people’s dehumanization. I made Dreams on a Pillow 🍉a game inspired by a famous Palestinian folktale about the 1948 Nakba. I’m crowdfunding it now—please back & share! 🔗 launchgood.com/1948

Hey! I've announced my next game and I am asking for money already so I can finish making it. :) www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

I figured out that my WiFi adapter is broken and was causing my laptop to freeze on startup, but only *after* restoring a backup from 4 months ago.

hey, you. yeah, you reading this. your life matters. don't ever forget that.

Distracting myself from the election by playing Metaphor, a game about… *checks notes* an election.

New Post: Speed Limiters A few words about Oasis, the Minecraft "AI-generated game" that isn't; about what makes a new tech demo 'impressive' or not; and about why we haven't colonised Alpha Centauri yet despite the Wright Brothers' best efforts. www.possibilityspace.org/blog-oasis/i...

Oh, looks like I've been put into a starter pack! (Thanks, Danga!) That explains all the new followers I've been getting. Lots of great people on this list; You should check it out.

In my humble opinion, this style of music is A) amazing, and B) underutilized for video games. But now that the public domain is growing, maybe we’re about to witness a resurgence of sampled electroswing.

The oddest thing about the (.fbx) model is that it isn't *just* a cube. It also contains a camera and light, and they're exactly the same as the ones in Blender's default scene. Ditto for the cube itself.

New blog post in my Webassembly game engine series! This time, it's about making native builds, and why we want to do that when making a web game. nuvobloggo.medium.com/how-to-make-...

Hello to everyone who has found us here! We do our best to cross-post everything, so you shouldn't miss any cool thinky games. Would love any reposts as it can be super hard to rebuild a following. 🙏 For anyone who doesn't know us, we share new puzzly, problem-solving games! Welcome!

Hi Bluesky! I mostly make logic puzzles: brokensign.com/blog/ I've also made a few small puzzle games: menderbug.itch.io Looks like most of my favourite artists have migrated here, so maybe I can recover the art feed I lost when I stopped using Twitter.

I am also here now as well. Instead of reading this text you could play my games because they are free and (allegedly) fun: ferociter.itch.io

Hello, Bluesky! I'm Ethan Clark, an independent game developer. You can see some of my games here: epicpikaguy.itch.io
