Thought it would be hard to top Steam's behavior around Horses, but EGS and Humble have them beat. The whole "oh we'll cooperate but pull your shit at the last minute" is a huge business risk. Prepping marketing materials is money. Building for a platform is money. Pulling out wastes that money.

Are games art? Not if gamers have anything to say about it

This is particularly funny to me because volume sliders are a necessity if you wanna develop a game without going nuts. you're telling me these nintendo guys just rawdogged testing new features while listening to the first 15-20 seconds of the same song over and over again? couldn't be me.

#screenshotsaturday We're not just focusing on combat with this game - Jenny also will deal with traversal challenges. This room uses timed switches to test her shooting and platforming abilities.

Back with more old Splatter dev posts. Many of the clips in my folder are showing off weapons, like this one showcasing FUCK. We had a pretty large weapon roster on Splatter: the weapons were just finger guns, so animating new ones was very quick and let us slip in a bunch of weird designs.

It's Black Friday and Itch Creator Day. Splatter is 50% off on Itch for the next 5 days (buy it here: catbirdsoft.itch.io/splatter). Over the next day or two, I'm gonna post some of our old dev clips of the game from Twitter. Here's one from February 2022.

somebody brought a shonen jump to class in 5th grade and grimmjow was fighting ichigo in the bleach chapters. that shit was a religious experience

i got so into modding skyrim i told a teacher about it freshman year of college and she convinced me that it was a real and viable career path. and it fucking was!!!

KEEP HONKING! I'm listening to BRING THE SUN/TOUSSAINT L'OUVERTURE by SWANS. THE GUITARS ARE GOING CRAZY RIGHT NOW so I will not be able to HEAR YOUR HORN until it gets to a quiet part in 5-10 MINUTES

Hey. #screenshotsaturday. Check out our new enemy. This heavy-duty drone deploys barrages of bullets from a distance, and pressures the player with its extendable arms at closer ranges.

what's interesting about this handholding stuff is that AAA games actually have the MOST affordance to cut those features. People will buy the new Metroid and try to push through it because it's a fucking Metroid game and they want to be Samus. They won't drop it the second something confuses them.

If you’ve historically been a “vote blue no matter who” type, it’d be cool if you could use this moment to understand why vilifying leftists who actually do think it matters is basically a psyop you accidentally fell for. This is why people warn you about guys like Newsom.

seeing a lot of "leftists" arguing about electoralism, reform vs revolution, how to reach the masses... You wanna do something actually useful instead of arguing online? Help me and my adventuring party find Dick Cheney's Phylactery. We have but a fortnight until he returns from the dead

i haven't played the outer wilds DLC. do they ever clarify what nomai taste like? was really disappointed when i selected the "bite" dialog prompt on the quantum moon and it just cut to solanum's half-eaten corpse on the ground with no description of the actual process.

hello! my game is about exploring an interconnected underworld, grapple-hook movement tech, and frenetic FPS combat. been simmering on low for a few years now but it is almost ready. please wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/1396870/... #pitchyagame

INCOMING CANON FIRE! A deep dive into the ABSOLUM, the latest from the Streets of Rage 4 team! I dig into how it evolves the arcade spirit of games like Capcom's Dungeons and Dragons beat-em-ups, its remix of fantasy tropes, and even its take on gender and identity. canonfire.net/post/7992333...

#screenshotsaturday time. This week we're looking at Jenny's missile system. This weapon is low-damage, but has high stunlock potential and can be used during any of Jenny's actions. Use it for crowd control, starting combos, or during juggles to set up massive finishers.

Wrote a thing. More importantly donate what you can to help my country if you can. supportjamaica.gov.jm

Itch sent us a notification that their halloween sale is on, and we haven't put Splatter on sale on Itch in a while, so hey. 50% off. check out this trailer I cut nearly three years ago.

Hi folks! Here's an update about what we're doing in 2026 and beyond. It's exciting stuff, and also, it's gonna be a lot of work! noescapevg.com/content-note...

ok. im falling for it. discourse. it's possible that the object that is a current AAA game should cost $100. if that is the case, then that object shouldn't exist, and we should make cheaper ones. shorter games with worse graphics etc

Removing the monetization aspect of gambling / corrosive F2P mechanics / etc doesn't actually address the harm those types of games do, and the resultant "dopamine games" being the default engagement of choice for wide swaths of the populace is a condemnation of our way of life

#screenshotsaturday Been working on a more advanced enemy. This guy plays footsies with the player - closing the gap if they get too far, and backstepping if the player pushes into their space.

-= RUIN =- > ⚔️Hunt, shoot and decapitate your assassination targets in the ruins of Beast City. > 🐍Uncover a centuries-old conspiracy to awaken a primordial god. > 🌕Inspired by FURI, the works of SUDA51 and YOSHIAKI KAWAJIRI. Coming to Steam in 2026, wishlist here: s.team/a/3223030

Seeing game devs take a "the customer is always right" approach to feedback is so sad because like I get it from a PR perspective, but... 1) The customer is always wrong 2) Your customers are gamers, so they're twice as wrong

We! Did it!! BLANKSWORD IS 100% FUNDED ON KICKSTARTER! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

it's almost time for MOVIE PERVERTS CLUB every year, every tuesday, for 8 weeks we watch THE PRIVATE SELECTION followed by THE WORST VIDEOGAME MOVIES WE CAN FIND join us this year...if you DARE discord.gg/R75hF92dTN

>looking for a new action game >ask if the action game is meter management or cooldowns >she doesnt understand >pull out illustrated diagram explaing what is meter management and what is cooldowns >she laughs and says “it’s a good game sir” >buy the game >its cooldowns

if jay is being harassed so much, she should simply use the same tools we're told to use when people harass us: - limit responses to followers/no one - close DMs - adjust labelers UNLESS these tools don't actually combat REAL harassment?! if only a vulnerable community could have WARNED her!!

trying out some new combos with our new super moves #screenshotsaturday

Our indie Roguelike RPG where you play an Angel that rebuilds his brain back from scratch is over 50% funded on Kickstarter, with 2 weeks left to go. We need ⚔️ YOUR HELP ⚔️ to cross the finish line! (Kickstarter, Steam Demo & Discord links in first comment 🔽)

nostalgia is a prison. 'IP' is where creativity goes to die. there are infinite new games in the ether waiting to be discovered. bury your dead and fix your hearts

oh shit it's the steam autumn sale. guess what: splatter is on sale.

we've been doing some work with reactive vfx / sfx & destructible objects to make fights feel messier and more chaotic.

what they dont tell you about virtua fighter is that to this day it is the number one game to play as wolf hawkfield

guess how much it costs lol

⚠️⚠️⚠️Unit Down Charge is out!⚠️⚠️⚠️ My game is now available on Steam, go check it out! store.steampowered.com/app/2509660/...

This is still the stupidest most craven thing I’ve seen a dev do in a while. And I hate to see them get away with it, with all these fawning reviews today. kotaku.com/sucker-punch...

every single piece of footage of slient hill f is just this girl center frame with the same kinda bad run cycle running through fairly indistinct environments and i assume that's because its a quiet game with a lot of exploration which is fine but we have to bring back Fixed Camera Angles

what the fuck that's so cool

Melee chain > dash cancel > launcher > finisher #screenshotsaturday

im sorry to post hot takes unprompted but "superheroes are inherently progressive" is a dumb take. they are not. the dominant ideology of comics is whatever editorial thinks will sell. usually this is a kind of feckless all-ages liberalism, but a lot of the time it's pretty conservative.

Splatter fans: did you like its soundtrack? Guess what: The artist who made it is now working on BLANKSWORD! I cannot recommend this game enough. Please go back it so that it comes out and I can play it.

I got a chance to playtest the Blanksword demo a few weeks ago, and let me tell you: they are cooking something special. I cannot wait for the full game.

I just backed BLANKSWORD on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/283...

It's time to get your brain back. Mark your calendars for September 17th! ⚔️Try Blanksword's free Demo on Steam⚔ ⚔️Preorder the game on Kickstarter⚔️ 👇Official trailer below, links in comments👇
