Gonna play some ZZT with my bro RIGHT NOW. twitch.tv/dawgnet ✨

Love Alan to death. Anecdotally, we were approached to work on this game, but turned it down for various reasons I won't get in to here. Hope whoever worked on sound had an alright time with it.

For November’s @dwellingofduels.bsky.social contest, the wonderful @coryjohnsonvgm.bsky.social asked me to collaborate on a track from the incredible game Tunic, a cover of the piano-led “Remember To Remember”. There was going to be some room for solos from me and the other collaborators.

"45% more affordable (starting at $649)". My immediate reaction is that this point is at best only partially accurate, and at worst willfully dishonest. Previously, the Expo Floor Pass was all you needed to get in the door. For GDC 2025, it was $249. (1/5)

Jeeeeeeeeesus, this is only a Top 16 match?! Insanely well played, both sides. I was yelling! www.youtube.com/live/s18w_QZ...

Zoe put together a lil combo Severance/Blue Prince birthday morning for me (with their curiously aligned colour pallettes). 😭 Like look at this.

Man that Clarke scramble was close. I thought for sure it went in and we got away with one. But upon closer inspection.... No goal! #EdmontonOilers

Emotionally exhausted. wtf Series tied tho 🤘

How is this not INSIGHTS?? come on blue prince

😮‍💨 Got to the credits but this album is still growing.

Aight Blue Prince, here we are - Room 46! Do I win? 😅 (Labeled as nudity because I think that works as a spoiler tag? Maybe??? No actual nudity of course, unless you count the game engine itself being laid bare)

Blue Prince is quickly climbing the ranks of my favourite games ever. also I just theorized a skip which would utilize a glitch I'd discovered, and it fuckin WORKED, and I bypassed a locked door, and I do not feel bad about it at all, in fact I am quite proud 🤘

Walking down Commercial, I'm always amazed how she seems to know which block were on.

rift of the necrodancer is out TODAY on switch! (and still available on steam) ...why am i posting about this? well, the CELESTE MUSIC PACK is also available today!!

How TUNIC started as an original concept versus how it ended 👌🦊 #indiedev #tunic #tunicgame

fancy birthday dinner ✨🥳🎂

Isla is 4 years old today and here is a picture of her taken this very minute (I know it's not obvious, she is a dog) Happy birthday lil bagel

Another solid GDC bouldering meetup! Thanks all for coming out, and we'll see you again next year! 💪

Given the "Buy Canadian" push amid this asinine U.S. trade war, I rounded up a bunch of games that are both made *and* owned by Canadians. 🇨🇦 🎮 From @thelongdark.bsky.social and @deadbydaylight.com to @gord.games’ Moving Houses & @visaigames.bsky.social’ Venba, there are so many great options!

Chilling at House of Shields tonight, climbing at Dogpatch in the morning. Let's do it GDC'ers.

In case you’re attending #GDC2025 and do not know about this; if you’re ever feeling unsafe, need assistance, or see something troubling, you can call this 24 hour hotline. They will listen and assist however possible whether you’re at an official GDC event or simply in San Francisco for the event.

Been nonstop in the run-up to GDC, but I wanted to share this cool thing that happened - The theme for our game "Descenders Next" has released! "Time Is On Our Side" (A collab together w/ Koven & Monstercat) As a big dnb head and a longtime Koven fan, I'm just thrilled with how it turned out. <3

CORRECTION: Due to a scheduling conflict, our #gameaudio mentorship roundtable has been moved up one hour. Same location (hopefully), but **starting at 3pm** instead! See you there!

This week is the 10 year anniversary of A Good Snowman is Hard to Build! ☃️❄️ To celebrate, the price on itch is now permanently "pay what the temperature is" https://draknek.itch.io/a-good-snowman

ATTN: #GDC2025 folks - we'll be doing our annual bouldering meetups at Dogpatch Boulders again this year, so pack your climbing shoes! Monday March 17, 7am-9am Thursday March 20, 7am-9am Open to all skill levels, it's a very chill time. 🤙

The Rift of the NecroDancer soundtrack is now available! Very proud of the team - @familyjules7x.bsky.social @alexmoukala.bsky.social @visager.bsky.social Sam + Nick @braceyourselfgames.com It's great to finally release this after years of work. Enjoy the game! open.spotify.com/album/4fR6X6...

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Tough day. I didn't work directly with Wayne much, with the exception of this crazy idea I had to coincide with the 1.0 release of the original game: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACC0... So many hours directing these bizarre lines. He was such a good sport, and an absolute pro through it all. RIP 💔.

2 brand new updates out today for Darkest Dungeon 2! First is our whole new FREE mode called Kingdoms, packed full of new additions! Second is the paid for DLC titled Inhuman Bondage! We’re bringing back the Abomination as well as a whole new biome! Hope you enjoy all our hard work :)

Last time, in 2023, our team (TUNIC) took home six awards, including Game of the Year. It was the worst event we'd ever witnessed. Insulting, and humiliating. Later, we sent a letter co-signed by 20+ Canadian devs (and cc'd to CGA partners/sponsors), detailing shortfalls and calling for change. 🧵

*kicks down door* ANIMAL WELL DESERVED AN IGF NOMINATION FOR DESIGN AND ART AT THE VERY LEAST ALSO I THINK JUDGING DEADLINES/EXPECTATIONS ARE ESPECIALLY UNFAIR TO GAMES WITH LAYERS BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE A LEVEL OF REPEATED ENGAGEMENT THAT A JUDGE OF MANY GAMES DOES NOT HAVE TIME FOR *puts door back*

Had such a blast doing couch comms for @msushi.net's #agdq2025 run of Portal 2! Went from having zero knowledge to commentating on the AGDQ stage in approximately three days. I know so much about portals now. 📖✍🏻

I keep getting follows from obviously AI-generated sexy gamer girls, with bios claiming they love game dev and/or indie games, and feeds full of #gamedev and/or #indiegame retweets. Is this a thing now? What is the endgame here.

#TBT favorite error to date, although "magic ID does not match" is a close second. What's yours?

It’s not much, but I’ve been experimenting with some visual synth and analog glitch tech lately. Here’s a few of the better things I’ve made (all audio-reactive):

The Mr. Rogers advice for moments of crisis is a useful thing to remember right now. Look for the helpers. Look for the people organizing to protect the most vulnerable. Look for the people who have been concretely planning for how to respond, and are ready to implement. Join them, if you can.

Finally caught up on posting a bunch of old Twitch VODs to YouTube... 39 back episodes (~66 hrs!) of Reel Talk have been added! #gameaudio www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... (Sadly a bunch of episodes were eaten by Twitch, so if it's not here, it's gone for good.)

Throwback to my old apartment, and my Mom staring at the disks on the wall for awhile before asking me, "What does 'They'll be here before too long' mean?" I am my mother's son.

Wordle in 1, hehehehehehehehehe (a buddy asked me out of the blue if I play wordle, so I took a stab 🦊)

Haven’t carved pumpkins in years but made a little trio last night! Thanks @regameyk.bsky.social for setting it up! Was a blast!

welp see u there

This is probably part of why everyone on bluesky is 38 years old: 38 year olds are basically the only people who consider it totally normal to flee a sinking ship and then just casually resume the conversation on the tropical island they end up on. They've outlived dozens of ships.

The Long Knight! Sinisterly stretching across the skirmish, this lengthy-limbed Lancelot is the longest of all! No one knows how his great reach came to be, but the range on his war hammer results in the besting of every brigand careless enough to clash swords! #0536

Reminder: If you have a great small game idea, someone else has already been working on it for YEARS and it's ruining their entire life. #gamedev

When I’m sharing art or something here I feel like an animal crossing villager sharing the cool bug I caught
