Try and rain on our parade... Well, you can't get all of us RAIN!!! ... See you tomorrow.

Look we're just Water/Ice types now, okay. That's not so bad. Cloister isn't so bad. Cloister is COOL But they won't be at Dirty Rectangles March 11th 8:00pm WILL YOU?! Come and show off all your work. I know you finally got it doing the thing right. The thing looks great!

Less than a week away now... JUST SIX DAYS until a return to normalcy--A RETURN TO SANITY! Feb 11th WEDNESDAY! ⁸ᵖᵐ ᵉᵛᵉⁿ No more bullshit! See you there gang. The show where you are the main event and the audience partially sits on the stage! (due to the layout)

Alison Luchs, who has worked at the National Gallery of Art for 47 years, agreed to learn Gen Z slang and make videos because she wanted to raise interest in the museum’s art. She never expected to slay. https://wapo.st/45BXc3S

Would you still love me if I was a WIP giant worm in a sci-fi metroidvania??? #esagame

Snow and ice, snow and ice Inclement weather in a climate like this or whenever. See you on the other side of these storms. Seeing your games at See-scape on a Wednesday is one of our norms. Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Eight post meridiem to lets say at least eleven thirty?

Next Month NEXT YEAR! Dirty Rectangles will be on 𝕋ℍ𝕌ℝ𝕊𝔻𝔸𝕐 January 15th. ONE TIME ONLY! Come on that different day while different days last! Don't come on Wednesday! (Except this month for Dante's thing and all subsequent DRs until there's an other booking conflict.)

*Gloop Glip Glop* That's the sound of me walking to Dirty Rectangles 𝕋𝕆𝕄𝕆ℝℝ𝕆𝕎 (now in walking distance within a 3 block radius!) Come and tell me all about your silly game. I bet it uses buttons.

It’s DOGMAN95s anniversary 🏆 the first game adhering to the rules of the dogman95 movement ComputerJames.itch.io/Dogman95 (Free / 5mins)

I'm November-maxing! I'm in my the 12th era! Ugh ugh ugh ugh *vibrating in the matrix chair while they download the address for See-scape and basic description of Dirty Rectangles into my brain*

Big news everyone... We officially have a release window for Revertices! Revertices will be releasing on Steam and Itch in *Q4 2026*!! Please see the latest trailer below! www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkCj...

"What month is it?" ℍ𝕖 𝕕𝕠𝕖𝕤𝕟'𝕥 𝕜𝕟𝕠𝕨. "What year is it?" 𝕀𝕥 𝕕𝕠𝕖𝕤𝕟'𝕥 𝕤𝕙𝕠𝕨 (up on my phone) "But I know. I know you all want to know for sure, the next Dirty Rectangles." October 8th @ 8pm See-scape A giant monster will be there, scary.

I didn't die in surgery! Might be no streams for the next week or so while I recover.

I may come to regret naming my game Arachnophilia.

We're counterprotesting a hate rally attempting to target trans kids' healthcare. Details in the poster.

STOP RIGHT THERE. That's right "Timmy Thompson" (fake name). There'll be no excuse this time; no more putting yourself in a wooden box, having people burry it in the ground for you and claiming: "Oh, I didn't know! I couldn't go!" 𝓓𝓲𝓻𝓽𝔂 𝓡𝓮𝓬𝓽𝓪𝓷𝓰𝓵𝓮𝓼 Wednesday September 10th 8pm See-scape B THERE.

All right, the last hot dog was eaten. 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟬𝘁𝗵 𝘖𝘰𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦'𝘴 𝘣𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘥𝘢𝘺, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 DIRTY RECTANGLES ONCE MORE Beautiful!

Yard parallax preview! #arachnophilia #gamedev

Weeeeee! Took a bit of messing with things, but I got parallax working, and the background stays put on scene transitions~ (Also noclip mode) #arachnophilia #gamedev

Midsomer has come and gone but the lords and ladies of lazy Sirius' "dog days" gather to ensure the heat dogs us no longer. Outside, outside! Replace their dark and lights with light and shade. What will their insulated reliquary contain on that curving slope down the pits of emerald? August 24th

There's something very satisfying about a boss slamming the player into the ground. #arachnophilia #gamedev

I accidentally tried hard on my placeholder art for crab boss. #arachnophilia #gamedev

Maybe time for a new powerup name, rather than "Wallbreaker", which is kinda garbo. (Not audible in this clip is a `ping` sound when your attack is deflected by something too strong to break) #gamedev #arachnophilia

Dab on your enemies with the right joystick! #arachnophilia #gamedev

This is so silly. Steps toward unlocking fast travel~ #gamedev #arachnophilia

Debug stuff! Commands to give all powerups, display the whole map, and clickable nodes to teleport to different screens! #gamedev #arachnophilia

Oh man! Arachnophilia has a map now! And lil' placeholder icons! #gamedev #arachnophilia

Next month, no regular show. Instead fun in the s̷n̷o̷w̷ SUN! And maybe even rainy water? I hope not! August 24th 4-6pm ᑕᕼᖇIᔕTIE ᑭITᔕ ᑭᗩᖇK Dogs and sodas and whatever else people bring. Bring a PS2 motion controller, surprise me!

Today marks the 10 year anniversary of the memorial for Conrad the raccoon. Gone, but never forgotten. #DeadRaccoonTO www.cbc.ca/news/trendin...

This policy change makes sense when you remember that Project 2025 architect, Dustin Carmack, is in charge of policy at Meta. When I uncovered this, he deactivated his LinkedIn. Project 2025 wants to classify trans people as pornographic and ban us from public.

It's coming (to Toronto and also a week just after that in Ottawa)
