Brilliant, horrific read: open.substack.com/pub/samkriss...

Portrait of a heterochromic cat. Postcard from my collection, mailed 1908.

I haven't had the chance to read through yet (wedding planning!) but based on the readings at the launch event very very excited to give it a bash this weekend. Huge congrats to the @sci-fi-ireland.bsky.social team on putting this together!

Just finished SOMA, absolutely loved it! Scared the shite out of me though, think it confirms I won't have the head for something like Alien Isolation.

My beautiful porcelain creatures 💕 Available to purchase on my website www.roseschmits.com Free UK shipping, worldwide shipping available

Anthology of the Killer is OUT NOW on PS5 and Nintendo Switch! The groundbreaking and dreamlike, IGF Nuovo-winning horror-comedy series from legendary auteur thecatamites, is finally on console! Play once and remember forever.

Finally came back and finished The Excavation of Hobs Barrow, gorgeous and eerie game would recommend 🤌🤌

In a void after finishing Promise Mascot Agency. Stellar game, don’t know how to follow it. I might like deck builders now!

Sick to see @blakemanorgame.bsky.social getting a shout-out by the @larianstudios.com team!

Loving Space Marines 2 atm, first game that’s felt “next-gen” in a long while

In 2092AD, the crew of the Mastadon discovered The Abyss, a thundering maelstrom of electric space storms, whirling asteroids, and hostile beings.

This is what starts playing when I get up from my desk to make a tea and grab a biscuit

Starting to visit Substack more often, has the sort of the long form content I liked from old Twitter/Internet, but occasionally you catch a trickster in the wild

Great read on the CLA approach to learning compared to traditional learning methods - calibratemastery.substack.com/p/the-constr... Interesting how much the CLA principles align with advice about learning game dev e.g. build tiny games, participate in game jams, have an ending before you polish

VERY excited by how positive all the Seance of Blake Manor reviews have been so far. Love a deduction mechanic, love the visuals, love the setting, looking forward to giving it a spin

Cool read on Folk Horror (just in time to start my Excavation of Hobs Barrow playthrough!): open.substack.com/pub/lizziebi... Arthur Machen just jumped up my reading list, any other reccs please send them on 🙏

My big project: The Death Generator. It's a tool for making fake video game screenshots, just fill in new text and it'll give you a (generally) pixel-accurate image back, the correct fonts and everything. deathgenerator.com

Hey #GameDev friends, we've been releasing fonts for nearly 10 years now and we wanted to give you something special. So we've zipped up all 1200 of our font files in one HUGE pack with one TINY price for full commercial use in your games and projects. Check it out! ci.itch.io/all-fonts-pack

The new Golden Idol game is already a banger! Bonus points for the random GAA references every mission

👵 Bad Biddy 👵 Current project in early prototyping. Spread rumours, collect gossip, and solve the murder on a rural Irish island.

♞ ChessTris ♞ This one actually feels like a game! Originally made in Unity but scrapped and switched to Godot. Want to make a mobile friendly version at some point. Don't let the pieces reach the top, if you can beat 72s on Medium you've beat the dev 😅 judgefudge727.itch.io/chesstris-v2

💀 Containment 💀 First "finished" game in Godot (really more of a prototype but I'm counting it!). Inspired by playing RE4 remake at the time and love how the levels centered around big setpieces. Definitely want to go back and add more levels/some form of story. judgefudge727.itch.io/containment

🤖 GodotGuru 🤖 A custom GPT that's (mostly) up to date on Godot 4.X documentation. Custom GPTs still not as clever as o1 unfortunately but getting good results using both together! chatgpt.com/g/g-wmMMKSnf...
