Announcing... Asymptotes. Asymptotes is a games event in Naarm, Australia, celebrating imperfection. On Saturday July 18th, we're running a showcase of abandoned games, with talks and panels on non-commercial and difficult to commercialise game-making. 👉 asymptotes.au

what if objects possibly made a weee woooo when beign scaled and clacked against eachother when bein moved around

visited the asymptotes venue (balam balam place) and it's soooo good. so excited to have ppl there... so excited to potentially get more stuff going in the future

thinking about the re5 inventory tech today and how it should be in a game thats not bad. i should be able to do even more advanced mid-combat inventory tetris

for the weekend crowd: have you heard the news of asymptotes? bsky.app/profile/asym...

ever since reading Meredith Gran's blog where she talks about how the gaming audience is talking about games like THEY are producers, a lot of these thoughts have been rolling around in my head. the healthy relationship to have with art is the one that eliminates the question "who will buy this"

really enjoyed lrts from manifesto jam. really all the stuff has been great, but those two r really resonating. love an event where people get rly angry and passionate and write it down

i didnt have time to write something longform for manifesto jam so i wrote something short and worse. thank u for ur time crestofthebeast.itch.io/dead-body-ma...

oh I love learning about indev stuff. here's a fun fact: during wanderstop dev I set up a spot in the animation test level that would automatically load bbc fish videos on the wall as a web-render-to-texture when I needed stress relief

its manifesto jam! make one! you gotta! itch.io/jam/manifest...

found a destiny website that lets me look at how i spent every day playing that game. here is a day where i spent 17 and a half hours doing forges, then two hours of reckoning, then back to forges. oh to be seventeen again(?)

returning to one of my worst afflictions, which is 'how can i do fixed point in lua'

This is so cool. This is the dream -- people making stuff for each other with the things that we invent. I love it. jatazak.itch.io/multiplayer-...

panicked intern: guys we need another 15 minutes of content to get the state of play up to quota what can we do im freaking out confident manager: how much sizzle footage did we get again for the god of war trailer? thirty minutes? mm. i have a plan

ENTROPY is our child of love, and it's getting so much of our passion and ideas poured into it that I REALLY hope you will give our demo a chance, so it could possibly speak to you and your tastes -- both in gameplay and storytelling! steamcommunity.com/app/3940340/...

learning shorthand may mean nobody can read my notes, my wrist will hurt more from constant writing, and ill run through a bunch of paper practicing, but at least it also takes up an hour of my day when i should be working on end of sem assignments

MANIFESTO JAM 2026 An invitation/provocation for YOU to write a manifesto. Running for a full week from June 8th to June 15th (AEST). Participate and submit at: itch.io/jam/manifest...

ive realised that the southern reach is dark souls. trilogy with a banger genre defining opening title. a second one thats very weird and different and ppl dont understand it but is actually good. a third title, that whilst you can tell its playing the hits sometimes, has some transcendental moments
