Titanium Court is just the right amount of so much aftermath.site/titanium-court...

DEMO LIVE!!🚨🚀 Wild Blue Skies is playable right now at Steam Next Fest. On-rails shooter action. Branching paths. Boss fights. Bowie's confidence. Roe's standards. Thorne's ego. Chuck's wholesome energy. It's all there. Go play it. 🎮 store.steampowered.com/app/1921490/...

Our game AWAYSIS has its first major Steam demo up! We've done a lot of custom physics work to bring something somewhere in between a fully-physics based experience and something more responsive of something more Nintendo-like, its a sweet juicy middle! store.steampowered.com/app/3334760/...

Somehow we've reached a point where only negativity is considered sincere. Sincerely being happy for people, or excited about things, or grateful for your industry peers - it's not accepted anymore. It's become entirely Us vs. Them, and your position shifts based on how much negativity you bring.

🎨 Not been feeling well for the past few days so doodled some Bomberman to cheer myself up 💗

Dusting the amiibo today. #NotAEuphemism

It seems there is some hardware I simply can not resist, so today I added another near-mint condition #GBPocket to the collection. #GameBoy

Downloading the Virtua Fighter 5 REVO beta on Switch 2. It's really actually really a thing. #VF5 #Switch

Genuinely the first 'swear word' I ever learned, before i understood what a swear word was.

This post just so I can write choc-émon. #Pokemon

Snow Day! #Kyoto #Japan

General rule for all game-critical UI and text: if you personally think it's obnoxiously large, make it slighty larger than that.

"The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone."

Would I miss it if the internet disappeared tomorrow? Of course but I'd also vote for it to go.

Today I noticed the bongos in #Bananza. They didn't have to put the bongos in. Or give them a little start button. Or make them bouncy!? They didn't have to add an extra bongo track in the audio that comes in when you're near. But they did.

Just got boxes of final US and UK editions of my book. I'm so thrilled about this, I truly worked so hard on it. "Anyone who cares about interactive entertainment will be delighted by this book." -Tom Bissell It's out next month - pre-order and book tour links through here linktr.ee/super_nintendo

Each object in Melkhior's Tower now has a weight property. This is to facilitate Sir Stamperlot's special ability of strength. #melkhiorstower #playdate #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart More info here: bitglint.itch.io/melkhiors-to...

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

I've overhauled my puzzle level generation so a level is now "grown" like cell tissue in a triangle tessellation. New elements can be inserted anywhere, and the whole level deforms to make room. This makes it easier to control topology and create paths that loops around areas. #ProcGen #GameDev

Wonder what AI discourse would look like if big tech had the wits and humility to just go "this is an LLM, it's really good at associating and extrapolating representations of data" rather than "here is the next evolutionary step in intelligence, we don't know if it will save or destroy our species"

Kyoto? Snyoto more like! (This 'joke' works better when spoken, but still only questionably worth posting.) This is north Kyoto, not central Kyoto which has no settled snow at time of writing. Please enjoy the photo anyway... or... wait.... the snowto? (sorry.)

2025, then. I'm late to this excellent party award: Kunitsu-gami. Human nature laid bare award: ARC Raiders. Made specifically for me award: DK Bananza DLC. Most confusing 80 hours award: Monster Hunter Wilds. Strangest absence award: Mario Maker Mouse Controls.

Received 'Destiny Game Deluxe' to add to the #Nintendo #BoardGame collection, replete with seemingly unopened pieces.

Annual traditional run through of Christmas #Pikmin. I wish there were new missions released for Pikmin 3 every week, forever. Come on #Nintendo ;)

Happy Xmas! My present to you is to remind you (as I was just reminded!!) that this year Hiroshi Iuchi (Radiant Silvergun, Ikaruga, Sin & Punishment) released a new rail shooter developed with M2 - NIGHT STRIKERS GEAR (PC and Switch)

Christmas updates to the guide book library brought two *stone cold classics*. #SuperFamicom Pop 'n' Twinbee and Chou Aniki: Bakuretsu Rantou-hen. Both are magnificent, but the chou aniki book... well, take a look: (two posts) #Konami #RetroGame

Christmas and video games go hand in hand (possibly moreso for us 80s/90s kids where you'd only have a few chances to get a game per year). Very relatable stories in here (alongside my own).

Took about 5 hours of optimising my strategy to complete the Jungle Beat DLC event. In the process, came to love and appreciate #Bananza almost as much as I do Jungle Beat. Fantastic fun.

My joke over and over has been "you've automated copying and pasting from Stack Overflow, congratulations" and I'm always vindicated

Where are they now? #CassetteBoyAndGirl

A Lord of the Rings cover band called Li'l Marillion.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Deeply disappointed to hear that the BBC has pushed out one of the most brilliant presenters in all of science communication for speaking with integrity and honor in support of human rights and dignity.

new game release: Rainbows Are Carnivores is an experimental gay fishing romance / aquaculture management sim. Free, 10-20 min, play in mobile or desktop browser radiatoryang.itch.io/rainbows

So, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.

This Disney-OpenAI deal is breaking my brain. It's not OpenAI paying for the right to use Disney characters, it's Disney paying THEM. All OpenAI does is give Disney access to its API so that they can use ChatGPT and Sora to replace their animators, other employees, and 3rd party contractors.

Nintendo's sound teams at their playful best (again) in #Bananza. The Fractones sing along with any of the game's music you choose, and better yet the SFX are in the currently playing chord's root note, so you can spend hours punching along. (Sound on) #Nintendo #DonkeyKong #VideoGameMusic

Every nerve in my body lit up and tears welled up in my eyes reading this. Incredible.

This collection would be an essential purchase for any one of the games alone, let alone the set. But it's also worth it for the extraordinarily thoughtful, stylish and carefully designed interface they've wrapped the games in, which is in itself a true Simogo experience. Exemplary, and peerless.

Why isn't Einhander on Switch/Steam in 2025?

Perfect game. I imported (at insane cost i could little afford) from Japan at launch via a New York online store called 'Tronix'. I knew it was back when the internet was good, but I can't believe that's 25 years. (I hope the audio delay on NSO N64 games gets fixed so it can be properly enjoyed)

Berserk B.I.T.S is out! ⭐️ Grab your Virtual Desktop Buddy and Save the Internet! The game launches at 6.99$ with 10% off at launch! (tell your friends! tell everyone!) oh and please Review it! I hope you enjoy! ✨

Happy 35th birthday to the greatest console of all time 🔥

It's 20, november! Beatmania day! Few series have had such a direct, positive impact on the course of my life as #BeatMania (and then #DDR). Thanks, #BeMani! ビートマニアを初めて見たとき、大きな衝撃を受けました。昨日のことのようです。 そのきっかけで日本に行って、結局引っ越して、日本語を習い（まだまだですが）、たくさんの友達ができました。 そのため、毎年２０，NOVEMBERこは、この感謝の気持ちが来ます。

This is how to do mario movies.

Worst gaming ad, probably yup. But it's not a gaming ad. And at its current rate, it's the most effective viral ad I've seen in years.

i spoke to LOADS of people about this very recently, and the only people using it regularly were the dipshits in charge

Trump's White House & fawning hacks here don't really care about the 0.001% that the BBC gets wrong. They care about all the stuff it gets right.

What you’re witnessing is a populist assault on the BBC. This is not an institutional scandal in any meaningful sense of the word. It is an attack on public service broadcasting. iandunt.substack.com/p/extra-edit...

When #LocoRoco came out (nearly 20 yrs ago?!) *all* game stores in Japan had the song on loop, and #PlayStation kindly sent some developers the audio CD. 73 minutes of the 7 variants, looping. Maddeningly joyful. It is treasure. Anyway, just found it on youtube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2nv...
