Another day, another interesting-looking game I have to skip because controls are hardcoded (so left-handed and international players can't play it): store.steampowered.com/app/3840230/...

It's true! I'm hiring another senior writer for my team. Position is FT, remote. Come work with me and some truly brilliant, creative folks to create Cyberpunk 2 💥🦾 www.cdprojektred.com/en/jobs/2205...

NASA just dropped more than 12,000 photos from the Artemis II mission. It'll take me a few days to go through them all, but so far it's one stunner after another. Link: eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos... Credit: NASA/Artemis II Crew (h/t @jonostrower.com)

thankfully, #TerratechLegion (another I was looking forward to) was just released: store.steampowered.com/app/3596700/... And it has a free demo and can rebind controls, highly recommended

Despite being laser-targeted to my interests, guess I'm going to have to refund this one because there is no key rebinding at all. There is even a controls menu, but you can't edit the keys, so I literally can't play it🙁

Tidying up a big library is delightful, this game scratched the same itch as Monk Took Book: store.steampowered.com/app/4197610/... #cozy

Thick as Thieves looks fantastic, and it's only 4.99 bucks across regions. www.eurogamer.net/thick-as-thi...

widow's bay is probably my favourite new tv show of the year so far, and i talked to the team behind it to learn why horror and comedy work so well together www.theverge.com/entertainmen...

what a cool use of 3D tracking and room-scale projection #gamedev vimeo.com/782602226 joonmoon.net/Chasing-Star...

Just noticed that the official #DreadDelusion OST is finally available 💜 store.steampowered.com/app/4530310/... (and it works great with #LucidBlocks too)

ahh, why does 4AM coffee always smell so good ☕

I have a feeling #Metro2039 will be my GOTY in the same way #KCD2 was last year 💜

Join us for the global reveal of #METRO2039 16 April 2026 10AM PDT | 7PM CEST | 8PM EET www.METRO2039.com

the #Metro2039 trailer looks promising 💜

Of course bsky would break the one time I post a selfie, my inner critic was right, things always go bad when I'm perceived as a corporeal entity😄

REPLACED is now available! 👉 gog.com/game/replaced Set in an alternate 1980s America scarred by nuclear catastrophe, navigate a dark cyberpunk thriller in this narrative-driven 2.5D platformer blending cinematic exploration with fluid, free-flow action.

Just noticed that #Control is barely 4€ at the moment: www.gog.com/en/game/cont... Very highly recommended, it's a masterpiece

On one hand, I'm happy to hear about a new #Metro (I adore the whole series, especially Exodus). But any enthusiasm is tainted by immediately worrying that it will have some random key rebind issues like most releases these days.

On the most serious note: holding my breath. Godspeed, Artemis II crew. See you in a few minutes.

I don't remember seeing an image of Earth before that captures the (thin, fragile, tiny layer of) atmosphere so clearly. I mean, look at that.

The Moon is tidally locked so one side always faces us. From that side, Earth is a permanent fixture in the sky 13 times larger and 43 times brighter than the Moon appears from Earth. Four humans photographed this. Every crater in this frame is older than any life on land. Artemis II

A bit of a different take on the amazing Artemis II launch footage. Here I stitched clips from the four Solar Array Wing Cameras to make this panoramic video. This is during the later part of the Core Stage burn until MECO and stage separation, sped up to 10x. 🔭🧪 #Artemis

Hayao Miyazaki films start in his sketches—his "image boards." It’s a habit he’s kept up for 60 years. He works fast and loose, mainly in pencil and watercolor. Perfection isn't the goal. But you can trace his growth through the pictures. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-image-...

something strange and horrible and somehow fitting that we should have a very real threat of madman civilizational destruction at the very moment when we also have humans on the dark side of the moon taking pictures that show how small, precious, and beautiful our world and existence is

Gave this the soundtrack it deserves. Kubrick was onto something when he picked the Blue Danube as the Theme of Objects Floating In Space. Call me, Nutella

Got a new book, by a friend in games academia. Immediately floored by the inside quote.

Time for www.twitch.tv/nasa and the #OuterWilds OST

Bluesky is made with AI, the engineers and even some non-engineers use Claude code

😮 Awesome views from Day 2 of #Artemis II this morning. @exploration.esa.int @esaearth.esa.int

guess who has two thumbs and needs to swap most components and redo the entire cabling of two computers just because one tiny screw broke in the case in a very inconvenient location x.x

I'm almost there it's so pretty!! 😭 this is the first time I've made extensive use of complex numbers in shader code, which has been fun! it's an analytic 2D lighting system through piecewise conformal maps representing angular light/"sky" exposure, which means you get fully analytic penumbras!

Happy anniversary to one of my favorite games 🎉 Always a good time to mention the excellent soundtrack is available on #Bandcamp: jimguthrie.bandcamp.com/album/sword-... One of the few albums that never leaves my phone regardless of disk space left 💜

Placeholder assets in a game should look obnoxiously temporary, so obvious that no one would mistake it for the final asset. In past games we've used the doge dog (rip) as an icon, hot pink versions of characters, our CEO's head, etc. If you use a temp asset that seems passable, it may stay there.

Any suggestions for concept artists in games industry? I'm currently looking to work with a concept artist for a new project. Will have a proper job posting up soon, but looking for recommendations in the meantime. DMs are open. Feel free to also email me: will [at] studiochyr.com

As expected, it sounds like #CrimsonDesert has key rebind issues. This is exactly why I don't bother with games that don't have a demo anymore, it just keeps happening.

Here's a rendering technique I've been toying with over the last couple of months in Unreal. It will be used in the upcoming game "Valley of the Lost Abbey" by @rucach.bsky.social The effect is calculated at runtime with the goal of making any scene look more painterly. #UE5 #GameDev #UnrealEngine

Turns out it didn't have legs

Monk Took Book and Queen's Domain demos are delightful and I can't wait for the release, they'll be day 1 purchases 💜 store.steampowered.com/app/4022090/... store.steampowered.com/app/1799840/...

Summer is an ideal time for heating engineers to install heat pumps (fewer boilers to fix). If the oil crisis subsides by winter, no regrets, you got a load more heat pumps. And if it doesn’t, you’ve reduced the need for subsidy and destroyed some oil demand. Seems… worth doing?

On one hand, yay, new #Vite 8 release 🎉 On the other hand, now I have to go check and update all my custom plugins, not what I had planned to do today. Hope I'll be able to ditch the terser dependency this time (given esbuild wasn't minifying enough to my taste and v8 replaced it with Oxc) #webdev
