started this thursday night, managed to get it done (except audio sigh) tonight... keep an eye out for it later this week tho. got that "i am a genius / oh no" kind of fun

Next week we're wrapping up #CorgiJam with a livestream! Join us at twitch.tv/finjico on Thursday, January 22 at 6PM EST as we play some CorgiJam games!

uh oh it s time for : new game. this one is ❄️ SPACE CORGI 2: SNOWHOUND PROTOCOL ❄️ 🐶 pilot my ACTUAL dog s 🔄 switch freely between dogs (UNLIKE space corgi ONE) 🌭 one dog is PRETTY LONG 🍞 the other is NOT USEFUL 🧱 30 levels !! what? in ONE GAME? listen adamatomic.itch.io/space-corgi-2

Now: Grand River Past rivers: Colorado River, Huron River, Red Cedar River, even the River Raisin... Had to look up the river in my hometown (and where the heck it even was 😅 ) Definitely said- oh, I guess that classifies as a river. I didn't know it was the same Red Cedar River as MSU

really satisfying to see something that was made very much the way i wanted to make it - sustainably and delightfully - and see it is also Very Positive on Steam (94%!!), 5.0 on itch.io, and the two reviews it picked up on other sites so far are 8/10 and 9/10

🕹️ Finji weasel Jonah Davidson 3D printed this cool CorgiSpace cartridge for the trailer! 🕹️ Read a fun interview with Developer @adamatomic.bsky.social and learn more about how the whole Finji team worked together on the trailer in our latest Finji news update: finji.co//news/2025/1...

I love the thoughtfulness of the design and the philosophy behind the CorgiSpace collection of PICO-8 games from @adamatomic.bsky.social and @finjico.bsky.social. Amazing. Thank you @icopartners.com! #indiegames #PCgaming #SteamDeck #PICO-8 Read my 9/10 review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social -

"CorgiSpace plays more like a master game designer’s sketchbook—experimental and full of personality." 9/10 😳 www.thegeeklygrind.com/archives/cor...

I could write a book. I burned tf out of my wrist after accidentally melting a clothes iron on the stove top. I was also trying to make mac n cheese and I turned on the wrong burner, melting plastic all over the stovetop.I picked up the iron and the cord gave me 3rd degree burns on my right wrist.

☃️ Happy Holidays from all of us at Finji! ☃️

corgijam is going suuuper good so far itch.io/jam/corgijam lots of pico8 but lots of not pico8 going on too, everybodys games are very funny and focused so far, so cool to see !!

I am here for any game who gives me a main character with a best friend who mayyybe should not be a best friend and sounds this lovely, looks this lovely and makes me go "Ohhhh! Hi Friend! It's so pretty! I love it<3 <3 <3" audibly, like a child, in my office. More stories like this please.

This still continues to be one of my favorite (and more baffling) confusions in games. The creator of Canabalt is in fact the exact same Adam Saltsman/Adam Atomic that is (and always has been) the co-director of Finji and is the lead designer on Usual June (and Overland).

I know- a lot of Corgispace news but... GAME JAM TIME! Make a small game. Any engine. Design something fun and joyful and small. Maybe with a friend. See you on discord! <3

Ok, it's *LAUNCH* day and this one is extra special for me: It is Adam's collection of 8-bit games that he has been making in PICO-8 over the last 12+ months. The first was done in his free time for fun... and then he made another. And another. And another... store.steampowered.com/app/4044300/...

🕹️ YOU ARE NOW ENTERING CORGISPACE 🕹️ CorgiSpace is a new collection of 8-bit games with short legs on purpose! This collection by Adam 'Atomic' Saltsman includes more than a dozen action, adventure, arcade, and puzzle games, and it's OUT NOW! Get it today on Steam and itch.io!

holy moly, ok! we did it?? we made a collection??? it's the first 13 games, bundled up with unlockable dev notes, updated audio, some sneaky bug fixes, cloud saves, and Steam Deck support!! store.steampowered.com/app/4044300/...

PAPER LABYRINTHS returns with Nic and I talking with Andrew Shouldice @dicey.bsky.social , creator of TUNIC, about teaching the player how to play games, teach people how to make games, mapping spaces, and the joy of the game manual.

Happy Birthday, Wilmot! 🎈 It's been one year since the release of Wilmot Works it Out, a puzzle-building game featuring everyone's favorite handsome square, Wilmot! Available now on PC, Mac, and Nintendo Switch!

My most anticipated game for 2025 is out today <3 I am so so so excited for the friends who worked on this! Go play it!

Misty Copeland's final farewell performance is today. What a beautiful ballet dancer- I surprised myself when I started to cry while telling Adam about how fabulous she is/was and how she was retiring. We were so lucky to have such an incredible artist performing for so long. <3

Steam says can't release.

This is my very first game design credit- I helped solve a very tricky design problem while Adam was working on it and, tbh, I didn't know I was doing game design. I always laugh a bit in my head that this happened to be on a game with devs I *wildly* admire.

This made my day: www.resetera.com/threads/cana...

Tomorrow! 🏳️‍⚧️ Finji will be at the TransFuse Night Market in Grand Rapids, MI! If you're local, you should come say hi & play the Usual June demo! ⭐

Wish Poptart (the pug) good luck today. He has stage 3 airway disease (tracheal folds, etc) and has to go in for a pretty major surgery today. He is having a TECA-BO done on his right ear, which is the full removal of his ear canal (his ear flap gets to stay). I am so anxious.

Adam and I have teens. Our jobs are weird and our oldest definitely has a bit of "don't perceive me because of my parents work" embarrassment with his peers- he DOES NOT talk about our work with anyone. I told him many of his classmates would find NITW this year. Got a text today from him today-

It's that time of year again when I need to call out professors and teachers who keep asking their students to cold email developers to interview them for a class assignment. Stop assigning this to students. No really. STOP. Please stop. I have other suggestions for you- stay with me...

The first I remember was the 286 in the early 80s... We also had a 386 at some point. And then I remember having a computer with color that ran like windows 3.0 and then 3.1. This was my fave game growing up: Styx by Windmill Software en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Styx_(W...

This is great (and the replies). Our oldest once hollered the F word over and over again, started quiet, ending at a yell- in the cafeteria in like 1st or 2nd grade. Had to keep a straight face when talking to the school. He did it as a dare and "to see what it felt like" Ms Megan was not amused.
