It's a #NightmareKart! New screen installed and it's running the steam trailer for testing. Next up is getting the computer setup and plotting out the I/O hardware. NightmareKart is being developed by @b0tster.yeag.gay, check her out!!

These egregious payment processor policy changes and the campaign by Collective Shout are rooted in deep homophobia, transphobia, and a right-wing effort to destroy and disenfranchise queer/marginalized communities and artists.

“it really feels like a game that you would want to be able to just have ready on a moment’s notice at a party” 🥲🏆 @plante.bsky.social brings Dyebreaker to this bonus episode of The Besties and nails the game’s inspiration. “local multiplayer boom of the early 2010s” is exactly Dyebreaker’s DNA

Reminder that Dyebreaker is NOW AVAILABLE on Steam for home play, and is compatible with Steam Remote Play. If you check it out, be sure to leave a review - it really helps!

A vision of video feedback hell appearing at the end of Hypnogenesis. @allenriley.bsky.social deigned all of the video art and levels (which are synonyms in this game!) & I worked on the engine. We had an amazing week working on the project, which uses Video Waaaves to emulate feedback. #gamedev
