Built a palette extractor that thinks like a curator, not a pixel counter. – Physics-based color repulsion – Auto-detects muted vs vibrant bias – Adaptive spacing to hit target count – OKLCh color space (perceptually uniform) Early Access: please break it!

I think we’re long past the point now that anyone can justify travelling to the US like it’s a normal functional country. Absolutely baffled by people still going there for holidays or conferences.

"Point-and-click" started as a camera phrase that was adopted by authors to refer to using a mouse. Suddenly in August 1989 two different magazines described two different games as a "point-and-click adventure."

Hey, if you’re in the game industry and have a literature degree, would you please comment? We got a family friend over here who insists my having a career in games while holding a literature degree is a one-off aberration and per usual, I’m not letting it go.

i'll admit it i like the process of iteratively refining a game element until it feels right to me, i think it becomes game design (derogatory) when it ceases to be an expression of your pure soul. that of course means some game design will arise unavoidably as your soul rattles the bars of its cage

‘everyone in gamedev is using AI’ the business dumdums are using it to generate decks and write bad copy. They think it’s good because they think their basic lore ideas make a good game. that’s it that’s who is using AI

I was disappointed to see the store page description put his name front and center while not mentioning any of the creators of the original games. This industry’s obsession with auteurs is not healthy.

Then don't make the game. It's a simple as that. If a game needs to use a plagiarism machine to exist, it doesn't need to exist.

Make Dot Matrix Displays for your games! It's easy as 🅐 make a 48x16px pixelart gif 🅑 resize as needed (this is 480x160px) - blurry resize like bilinear is a bonus 🅒 overlay a black grid with 48x16 round holes. Use the same black as the gif

Horses Is Tame
Horses, the indie game that is too scandalous for either Valve or Epic, is only beyond the pale if you're not familiar with any other art form.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.
