My name is Ben! I'm a game developer working on Become the Moon, a deckbuilding autobattler game. We just launched a brand new demo on Steam! It's like the old demo but BETTER IN EVERY WAY! Play it on Steam:

Something to note about Metroid prime 4 is that more galactic federation is EXACTLY what the fans have always wanted. People who played Metroid 1 or even super Metroid are not the core audience, it’s people who played prime 3 when they were 10 years old and thought the federation guys were cool

hello bsky! our game was taken down due to a false DMCA which completely killed our momentum at launch. our studio is in a very precarious position right now. please share and spread the word, steam has been little help to our situation.

No Players Online - the full version of the viral abandoned online FPS horror game - is back on Steam. 🎉 The game was falsely removed weeks ago, just after launching, which has severely impacted the studio's survivability. Please spread the word, and support it! ❤️

Loving the new Kirby. City Trial is really good although maybe a little too chaotic at times. Air ride might honestly be the best game mode? It’s very fun, I’m curious how well people who only play Mario kart will take too it. Road trip would be fun but the pacing is way too slow.

I will say this: a lot of new folks are clinging to a nostalgia for ‘getting a publisher’ as a marker of validation, of being a ‘real game’. And I’m here to tell you that’s bollocks. They need you more than you need them. If they can provide a service, awesome, but you hold the means of production.

It’s funny how much harder silksong bosses become when some normal enemies are added to it. One giant guy? Business as usual. One giant guy and his two tiny teammates? Nightmare mode.

This convo I had highlights the difference in what "respect your time" means in games. A lot of players want to trade time for in-game progress. It's purely transactional: 1 hour = 1 progress But I want to feel like my actions matter i.e. what I do with time creates progress, not time itself.

The night music in chibi robo on Nintendo switch online cuts out about halfway through each night. This also happens on dolphin, and I’ve always assumed it was an emulation error and not something that happens on original hardware, did it used to happen on the GameCube disc too??

I think my only concern with air riders is the starting speed actually seemed a bit too fast for city trial. I’m sure it’s a good change for racing, but I like the start of city trial to be more slow and calm, it doesn’t need to be frantic and exciting right at the start
