Here is a sample of our new flipbook animation project for Playdate! ๐ We added a "blink" effect where the screen goes black between frames. Spinning the crank feels incredibly satisfying with this timing! ๐โจ Check out the video and let us know what you think!

prototype from a while back when I was trying out a game where you can only shoot forward (inspired by a browser game) and was curious how it'd feel with a 3D perspective. Feels weird not being able to shoot sideways though

Rolled credits on Star Wars Outlaws and it's insane the jump in quality the final mission has. Where was that the previous 15 hours? It's almost upsetting tbh. Kay's a great character though and it'd be nice to get a sequel although it's unlikely. Hoping the 2nd DLC is a nice send off!

I played some demos recently and one that stood out was
@thegeolojosh.bsky.social
's Goodlands. Its characters are SO FUNNY and the music is charming! I loved the gameplay loop and the pixelated graphical style, especially how objects looked from afar. It looks and feels like A Short Hike! (1/2)

What we found was one of the very worst examples of workplace abuse in the history of this industry. That may sound hyperbolic. I really don't think it is. Here's our investigation:

If you've enjoyed Cryptmaster, please consider sharing the news. Despite an IGF award, a 95% Steam rating and a free demo, the game has gone mostly unnoticed by both press and players. It's not just a typing game and there may still be people out there who would enjoy it!

Yesterday one of my roommates finally got Balatro and an hour later our other roommate got it too. Today he told me he's getting it on his phone so he can play it at work and I'm thinking I might pick it up on Steam for a triple dip. Anyway, Balatro VR when?
