I played @com.y-a-c-h-t.com 's Blippo+ today on Steam Deck docked under our TV, and it was such a delight to discover (by accident) that I could control it with a TV remote. This works because the dock supports HDMI CEC but it felt like magic for Blippo+ specifically. 10/10 experience.

thinking about releasing a new album on Yelp or Google Maps…

the 1982 version is better

For about a year I've been working with some of the best reporters and editors in L.A. to build a brand new city news outlet. It launches tomorrow. Is it possible to operate a sustainable local journalism business in 2026? Let me know! lamaterial.com

I am descending deeper and deeper into the depths of clip art and I love it

The wonderful @play.date community were the original Bendonauts—the first people to visit Planet Blip when Blippo+ surprise launched on #Playdate! We’re so grateful to their enthusiasm for our world, and really honored to have won two Playdate Community Awards! Thank you! play.date/games/commun...

Did some cute updates to our homegrown Linktree. Suggestions, questions, and comments welcome! com.y-a-c-h-t.com

So neat to see Blippo+ on display with all these wonderful indie games! 🥲

Kind of overwhelmed to be at GDC this year. Can't believe we've been nominated for 4 IGF awards. What is happening. Should be a fun day. I'll try to document and share some of the good times in this thread (now I wish I had brought a better camera). :D

it’s genuinely bonkers how every billboard in San Francisco is like: “Zirping your Pingos got you buggin? Yeah, Fnarf’s on that 🤖🦾”

Blippo’s own Claire and Jona (aka @com.y-a-c-h-t.com) are giving a tiny talk today at GDC as part of the Indie Soapbox session, along with some other fabulous devs! Come say hello! @officialgdc.bsky.social #GDC2026 schedule.gdconf.com/session/indi...

Sup gamers?

Reviews of some games I played this week! first up: finally "beat" blippo+! backloggd.com/u/JuniperThe... i could argue for hours about how good blippo+ is and WHAT it is. but i don't want to, because it's perfect. instead i'll say that you should watch blippo+ because i love it so fucking much.

📡 Blippo+ writer @theuniverse.bsky.social, and game/creative director @com.y-a-c-h-t.com will be standing on top of something called the "Indie Soapbox" and giving something called a "microtalk" at GDC. Come say hi! schedule.gdconf.com/session/indi... @officialgdc.bsky.social #GDC2026 #IGF2026

Every “Webster’s dictionary defines love as” is going to be replaced by “Claude said love is” at weddings this summer 💀

Blippo+ is one of the best experiences ever. From production to costume to music to actors to animation. Top to bottom, creating a world and interconnected stories. Really makes you want to make something. Probably the biggest must-have in a long while exactly for freaks like me 👍

I made new launcher animations every single week for the 11-week first run of @blippo.plus! We wanted to indicate to the user that the app was changing every week, and add little narrative pops. Playdate’s amazing bc I could make these on the fly the day before launch (sorry again, @mierau.me 😉)!

Yeah, Blippo+ is the right kind of weird.

The Playdate community is so generous, curious, and fun. It welcomed our weird world immediately and makes us think about it in new ways every day. This is such an honor!
