(brain normal voice) "Steam Pup Fest"

Johannesburg’s Nyamakop Studios turns African artifact repatriation into a bold heist game. Protagonist Nomali and a crew of ordinary citizens reclaim 70 real-life artifacts taken during the colonial era. The 30-person dev team includes people from Zimbabwe, Ghana, Nigeria, Ethiopia and Tanzania.

for probably the last time i did some tweaks to the player sprite to animate more nicely on the inbetween animations and generally just have a better shaped head. 8-way sprites are hard. no further spinning wheels on these sprites, they're good enough now ahaha #Addlemoth #gamedev

Well I guess I have a new thing to look into, so if you’re in BC and you’ve ever seen a game called “Lotus Spring” please let me know (That’s just “Lotus Spring”, *not* “The Legend of Lotus Spring”)

sorry I couldn't make it to the work meeting today I got lost in the full recreation Moria from a 1979 mainframe adventure game (bluerenga.blog/tag/ringen/?...) that was ported into the world in between town and our meeting room

added a borzoi since they're honorary horses

omg everybody go draw a horse this is what the internet was made for gradient.horse

Let Me Ruin Players' Lives For You

Ten years on 2XKO, 12 at Riot and I got laid off with 30min notice lol Gonna take some time.

it's genuinely stunning to me you'd keep a game in the hopper for a decade and then do huge layoffs after a single month. a month is nothing in live service terms. less than nothing.

I feel like bruno is honestly underselling himself here he basically was the lead designer for Fallen London for years and had quite a successful run of cool as fuck features and additions during that time

Machu & Nyaan Gundam Animation by Liz Caingcoy (YT Link: youtu.be/MXJvUUeWzfA) Finally done with this! Please enjoy I'm really happy with how this turned out 😊😊

Perfect Tides: Station to Station is now available on Itch for PC & Mac! You can get it (along with the first Perfect Tides) here: granulac.itch.io/perfect-tide...

I've updated KINOPHOBIA, my horror-mystery parser game from last year's Halloween, with a number of typo fixes. Meaning that now is an *even better* time to play it, if you haven't already – it's legal, it's free, and it's actually quite hard according to most players. brunodias.itch.io/kinophobia

Oops I'm running a game jam! Make an RPG using pre-made maps; figure out how to give it your own spin without changing any of the tiles. Feel free to join in on the fun! itch.io/jam/cookie-c...

shoutout to @amazingthew.bsky.social for the actual answer to discord adult verification

Play Ladykiller in a Bind. Tell Discord that you're playing Ladykiller in a Bind. Tell your friends that you're playing Ladykiller in a Bind. Start a Ladykiller in a Bind book club. Let Discord use fuzzy analytics to determine that you must be an adult because your book club is too busy to ever meet

It occurs to me that many people don't know about the GameFan coffee incident. In 1993, GameFan published a manic 6-page review of the game Cybermorph that was written while tripping on LSD that somebody put in the office coffee pot The review declared that Cybermorph was the first "real" game

The frustrating part of this to me, as someone with a streamer girlfriend, is that there kind of isn't a discord alternative if you need voice chat and screenshare. Like discord is the only option for a lot of people's setups as things stand. If they become unusable I genuinely dunno what we do

BIRD! My most recent commission - a really fun challenge making non-standard VTuber models! This is my test live tracking my motion in VSeeFace to make sure it's all working correctly🪶

Speaking of which – I am still looking for work, pretty urgently.

the entire point of replaying crosscode is to 5-0 shizuka imo

Hey, so, I don’t do civil litigation, is it generally considered good when the judge does this? storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Btw I know this is preaching to the choir but reading these stupid high jump rules truly a great example of why dnd is a bad template for anything. If your player is like "can I jump that high" the answer should never be "let's compare the height of the wall in feet to blablabla"

The correct thing to reskin dnd rules into is Literally Nothing, they are the encrusted seaweed coated dock pillar of ttrpg rules and are so marinated in their own historical juices that you will never free them from the weight of their original context

The idea of turning fucking dnd into a neopets ttrpg is funny enough but I truly wasn't expecting a game that has been in development for a year and a half to read this much like a find and replace

Learning about an apparent Neopets 5e conversion exclusively through the incredulous comments people are leaving on it is way better than actually finding the doc and reading it

genuinely fascinated by capcom's increasing departure from the Pokemon protagonist aesthetic (and, assumably, audience) with each successive Monster Hunter Stories entry

It's bandcamp friday!~ This could be YOU! kurtfeldman.bandcamp.com/album/demons...

hey BC can we get on this too

gentle advice for fellow indies: if you want people to check out your work, you need to put a link for people to go check it out if you ran out of space and it's in the reply, that's fine, but it needs to be somewhere that doesn't require someone going elsewhere to click a link

158 Steam reviews! 92% positive!! We are GOBSMACKED. Thanks for playing, y'all!

when it’s my turn to say “a” at the “a”-saying contest

Woof 🫣

Final illustration and keyed rooms for my fellow reavers, enjoy! 🙏 #ttrpg #dnd #osr #nsr #fkr #dungeonmap

OH, Look! Another game translated by magic! This right here is quite dangerous in these times. Why? By erasing us translators from our jobs it makes it easier to replace us with GenAI. We've always been invisible. That gave them a leverage in introducing MTPE and lowering our rates.

Dosa Divas, a spicy narrative turn-based JRPG, launches on April 14 for PC, PS5, Xbox, Switch, and Switch 2. Demo is now available on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2950710/...

the industry needs to pay translators more.

Video game intros and voice acting peaked in this moment

I'd like to add that like in all industries, when we stop understanding how our tools work, we become entirely dependent on the corporate entities that own the mold. We are trading the ability to build and repair for the convenience of being permanent tenants in someone else's infrastructure/subs.

making HL2 inspired Z-billboarded volumetric light shader in godot. love this trick for how stupidly effective it is for distant lights

this is ridiculously cool shit

Last year Daisuke Amaya (the creator of Cave Story) began drawing a really cute web comic series about a cat girl artist trying to find love. It's called Ame Choco Gamila and can be read on Daisuke’s website in JP and English. Highly recommend giving it a read! studiopixel.jp/amechoga/ind...

+ My major project for this 2026 first quarter has been canceled, therefore I am now open for work - preferably under a part-time workframe, preferably gamedev. + Tilesets (+anim) & sprites very welcome! + New itch tiles are finally coming, too, but I'm looking for a structured gamedev project.
