Reposting this since it's bandcamp friday. It was a pleasure to work on, more music coming throughout the Early Access period now :)

Question for British Library experts (please share!): if one wanted to put on a concert that included a piece that could only be found in the BL, then I guess the copying of that music would count as 'commercial gain'? Is permission very expensive?

+ My soundtrack is out now on all platforms thanks to the wonderful folks over at @blackscreenrecords.com Listen here: orcd.co/jealouspeople Thanks to @johnehartley.bsky.social for mastering 🤘

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

All in all I'd have to say I don't enjoy being ruled by semi-literate perverts with infinite money

another #PortfolioDay !! quickly reposting this to say i have lots of availability from April for new things 💫 particularly interested in human-made games(!) that are a lil weird, wild and playful 👀

I've been commissioned to write a piece about games based on real places that changed peoples' perception of that place or had some kind of local impact - are you a dev who made a game like this? Or are you a player who has a story about a game that inspired you to visit somewhere? Let me know!

I am looking into this, I've reached out to Steam directly, and I'm actively pitching stories on this subject of the platform's shaky moderation. If any other devs have experienced something similar with reviews and moderation, do reach out.

Threw a diablo in the air from the string, looked up to catch it and it hit me in the face, smashing my front tooth in half. I was about 10 and cried a lot, still only have half a front tooth but you can't really tell. 🫠

In 2026, I'm releasing my next game: WENDYBUXXX. Play as song characters brought to life by singer Wendy Miasma and forced to compete as lifestyle influencers to promote her new necrocurrency*, WENDYBUXXX. Gain the most followers by setting and following trends, while balancing controversy.

Woke up to 150,000 wishlists today 🤯 The perfect way to close out the year. Thank you wholeheartedly from the whole team, your support means everything! ⚔️

Repost for #screenshotsaturday - I'm working on a new adventure game where you play as a little jackdaw on a quest to save his cosy autumnal hometown! chequered.ink/project-jack... #gamedev #gamemaker

🌊 Happy #screenshotsaturday! This one's a lil detail shot of the town tileset I'm workin on. Gonna be rendering a LOT of stone walls #indiegamedev #gamedev #pixelart

Showing children of the future the unacceptable hair rendering on the left to explain why we had to get rid of the rainforest.

Just popped a new game prototype demo I'm working on called Bug Chain on itch! ianzell.itch.io/bug-chain Its a sandboxy management simulation sort of game where you direct little bugs to build their houses and try and balance a food chain/ecosystem. hope some people find it interesting!

We (Draknek & Friends - A Monster's Expedition, Cosmic Express, etc.) are looking for a Godot consultant to help us investigate and fix some issues with long load times for scenes on mobile. If you're interested, email [email protected] with your experience and rates. #godot #madewithgodot
