still thinking about what I'll do with this. #gamedev

Hi, CEO of I Made It Games LLC, here. We're looking for viral indie games with a cool aesthetic that have a proven gameplay loop, narrative hook, the interest of top 1% streamers, and are 80-90% complete. In exchange for 50% of your profits we'll let you put our name on the Publisher field in Steam.

I love learning about everyone's hobbies , culture and languages, it's so useful for localising ragebait to all my international homies.

the absurdity of it all has got me crying laughing, how do you strip something of all its meaning and consequences so hard like this and call it COZY or WHOLESOME LMFAO do words have any meaning to them anymore hahahahhahahahahhahah

still cracks me up everytime I get a new comment notification from someone falling for the treasure chest teleport trap

thread of game concepts that I've worked on that keep me up at night on how I should revisit them. 1/? first one is Vault-former, this one went viral for me, but it left me uninspired

been using chromatic aberration as an alternative to screenshakes by just offsetting the RGB values towards a set direction and distance which just gets lerped back. feel like it achieves a similar feeling of intensity without taking away visiblity too much? thoughts? #gamedev

still surprised how chromatic aberration ended up working as a alternative to screenshakes in my projects as of late.

Btw, as the Itchio noise and all died down, Adult games are technically just banned now. Some adult games are still being sold, yes, but if you get caught or reported or whatever, all your payment options will be yanked and only a husk remains. Zero comments from Itchio on this, nothing, at all.

feel like I had a galaxy brain moment while working on art direction #pixelart

Playtime Duration being the core KPI for whether a game will be able to keep a studio alive is causing so much potential in projects to be drowned out due to so many deriviative games with little to no innovation being pushed cuz they had market validation first instead of the other getting a chance

A new post about the creative process I’ve built over the years to make games fast and detect the fun potential early. blumgi.games/from-idea-to...

who knew dealing with uncertainty and stress would make you get sick more often. dang it

they were better off saying nothing. now their cowardly statement has sparked the flames that will be cynically used against as weapon repeatedly + hurt/consume their current and any future relationships with developers whose works sustain their business model. nasty strategy @ Dear Villagers. 🫡

haven't seen much devs speak about how making games for an audience can paralyse you when trying to design for yourself, you end up second guessing yourself to the point of thinking no idea is good enough. painful hole to climb out from!

another quick throwaway prototype. you only have control over hopping left/right

BBBlaster, an old project, started from an idea of trying to create a one-button Hotline Miami. I eventually dropped the project since I felt no hope in the project being worth it in the end, also fun fact helped me overcome my fear of dogs.

I'm sorry- Tears of The Kingdom.... I'm not going through those damn Gotse Shrines for the millionth time! the repeation of so many missions/quests reminded me of everything people complained about Ubisofft's open-world formula but even worse. as soon as I lost my save I couldn't stomach it again

Gave a public talk awhile back, made the audience get up , told people who hate golf to sit down... Then told the standing golf-lovers to GET OUT!! they all giggled and sat down and started hating golf too #GolfSucks #fakeSport
