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! chipper-otter-d6c600.netlify.app

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.

SEBI 16 - Sixteen games in one ✨ -Out 16 January - It would help me a lot if you want to wishlist ❤️ store.steampowered.com/app/3946490/... #sebi16 #pico8 #ufo50

"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.

Okay please let's not call him that

Regular reminder that the majority of the people who dreamed up the stories you love are, like, BROKE broke, and that most of the money spent on their work was given to Some Guy™️ instead.

🪱🪱🪱Wirm is out right now!!!🪱🪱🪱 Please enjoy this new trailer voiced by my 2-year-old son, then go buy the game on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/1934870/...

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.

I got to try out an early version of Deluxe Poly by @hiddenasbestos.bsky.social. It's an absolute joy to work with!

Cat hideout 🐈‍⬛🦉 Late Pledges are available if you want to pick up the game + the physical or digital GameBoy-style manual, which is exclusive to Kickstarter backers! Links ⬇️ #indiegame #gamedev

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 #gamedev #pixelart

This is the hill that I stand my ground on. Best game design:

Yarn Spinner 3.1 just dropped. option fallthrough so your game doesn't stop, async everything, new typewriter system, and if you grab the storefront version you get Text Animator support (huge thanks to @febucci.com!) out of the box. we're pretty happy with this one yarnspinner.dev/blog/yarn-sp...

Epic Games Store has also banned Horses at the last possible minute before the game was set to release. It was banned from Steam last week. https://bit.ly/48zMSdm

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.

I feel like every scene I draw for Gilt is a real struggle and I am never satisfied, but then I put the character sprites over my WIPs and seeing them hanging out in that world makes me happy.

Last night's interview with Novara on the Rockstar firings is now up as its own standalone video, if you'd like to watch. Delighted to see the story picked up by the wider media in this way, as surreal as it felt to appear on a show I've been watching for years now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxuP...

NAIAD OUT NOW! 🪷 Finally! After 5 years of development and dedication, I'm excited to share my first game with you. Immerse yourself in a poetic, dreamlike, and serene experience. 😊 ✨ Steam (PC/Mac) ✨ PS5 / PS4 ✨ Xbox Series / One ✨ Nintendo Switch
