I totally understand people wanting to wait until beastieball is “1.0” to play it. I also don’t usually play early access titles. My main worry at this point is that the game is already so complete and universally beloved, by the time we call it 1.0 i might accidentally make it worse somehow…

4,000 words on the stage I haven't been able to stop playing for the last six years. Early dev screenshots, talk of tech challenges, five demo tracks embedded so you can hear the song's evolution. All the good stuff.

Please…. I’m begging you… if your game has a dialogue choice… and all the answers say the same thing in a different way…. You can just remove the dialogue choice……

taking a moment to appreciate how the edge of australia actually looks like the unfinished edge of an open world video game

Beastieballlllll #art #beastieball

My team at the end of Z-A! I had my issues with the game, but I loved all the new mega designs…

I'm not gonna have time to make anything with this but I started on a tiny interactive web thing for Vancouver Game Garden using @pietepiet.com's art and LDtk (arrow keys): vangamegarden.com/events/02/ga...

I only just figured out that the little melody shakra sings is a piece of the rest area theme......... that's good shit

played beastieball for the first time last week and it reawakened my love for critter collectors its SO fun

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really. Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are. This is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available September 4 on all platforms and day one on Xbox Game Pass! Watch the release trailer: youtu.be/6XGeJwsUP9c

My team i took to the final in #Beastieball !!!! GOOD JOB EVERYONE!!!!!🎉🎉😭😭✨️✨️💕💕 (*sob* my babies are so good at ballin'!!!🥹🏐💕)

I finally pulled the trigger on Beastieball a week ago and it has been excellent so far The gameplay itself is awesome but the best surprise is that the villian is the sports commissioner who cares more about entertainment than the sport itself Truly a very Jake coded game

me melting down while watching someone play beastieball and i see the best creature of all time, the goat, the fella, the squisher TRAT

I’m not really the kind of guy to get excited about tote bags but this one looks REALLY GOOD in person

got into BeastieBall last week and i have been OBSESSED ever since, best creature collector game ive ever played in my life the designs slap the music slaps talking isnt enough you need to play it

Someone pointed out that beastieball was high on the “top hidden gems” on steam and I have been watching it curiously. We’re in a weird spot where the score is better than many games placed higher, but it’s getting pushed down because it’s too popular (not really “hidden”).

i don't believe a game can be perfect, but thanks nonethless to "i love game design" for the kudos :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_Ob...

sorting my steam library by best review score

i am just so pleased about this

An interesting watch... I'm biased as a creator to assume industry trends are creatively influenced ("Games should be bigger" -> more people hired) when reality is mostly driven by finance (growth is expected -> more people hired -> "we need bigger projects!") www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HM9...

occasionally throughout my day i'll have a flash of awareness of how ridiculous my work is. like. why did we invent a sports lizard named bongus. but then the feeling subsides and i resume patiently adjusting the parameter's of bongus' volleyball spikes or whatever.
