Just signed the "Stop Killing Games" petition! I am a game developer and I believe that, if you buy something, you own it, and publishers should respect that. I also care about video games as an art form! If you also care about video games, please sign the petition: www.stopkillinggames.com

"You can trust me!' says the person who just got caught in a lie

We are back with yet another blog post! This one is about the very site you're on... distantillusions.com/blog/post/th...

Just scambaited a scammer who tried the "test my game" scam. I told them that I actually downloaded the game and played it, and gave them feedback, even taking a screenshot from the real game they had stolen. They immediately unfriended me. 😆

I know none of you here care about what happens here, but this is my reality. Despite everything, I still believe that everything will be great. And I'll keep walking on the path that I believe in no matter what.

The palace government has spent years suppressing its own people, students, protesters, politicians... really anyone who resists. The judiciary system is in shambles, corruption is rampant, and the economy is crumbling under the weight of this one man's unchecked rule.

I've lost much of my youth, to the point of having to switch schools for political reasons. And now, as an adult, I'm often embarrassed in front of my friends, who can buy whatever they want, work with whom they want. Meanwhile, companies don't even respond to my emails anymore.

Ever since when I was four, I have only known one administration. Under its rule, I've watched my country fall apart piece by piece, my family and friends struggling alongside millions, both economically and socially, with people sinking into what felt like eternal despair.

I am currently working on an MSPaint-like platform fighter, titled "YTP All-Star! MSPaint Smash Brothers." Please let me know who you would like to see included! There will be an emphasis on 2000s media/internet culture (Spadinner, H*R, FiM, etc) and media with a similar vibe.

Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to have the boss trophies in Terraria have a 10% drop chance?

I have been running the IGU Spring, Summer and Winter Jams for years now, and every time, there's at least one game that wasn't made for the jam and was submitted to a bunch of jams The devs who do this are clearly just abusing the Itch game jam system to self-promote Don't do this, fellow devs

This is Casper. I love him. Isn't he such a cute little goober?

The scambaiting session sure took an interesting turn, lol

This, right here, is bad UI design. Especially when you can't turn it off or make it more compact. The activity thing is just there, the whole time, blocking part of the server channel list and sticking out like a sore thumb in the process @discord.com #Discord #baddesign

Update on the scambaiting situation: The scammer I'm still scambaiting must have read my bio and figured out that I'm trans, because he started asking if I'm a man or a woman, then asked if I was married and started hitting on me in the most awkward way ever, lol

I wonder how long it will take for tech bros to watch #Severance and think "this is cool, it's not dystopian AT ALL, we should make the severance chip a real thing and not think at all about how Lumon and the Eagan Family are a satire of people like us!"

The scammers who I was scambaiting finally seem to have caught on. Apparently, one of them has been warning the other scammers in their little group, or call center, or whatever

This is a great video. I love how Damo tells the story of Dark Road in such a poignant way www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZql...

Decided to nerf it so that you don't move upwards when cancelling the stomp, since it felt too overpowered otherwise It can seemingly still be used to cross gaps at least, though again I'm not very skilled at it as you can probably tell 🙃 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Since we're on the topic of "shit I have to put up with as a trans woman", should also point out that when I say that I use she/her pronouns, I don't mean "she/her and they/them". This seems to be difficult for some people to figure out.

Not giving people the option to just change their username/display name (without having to contact a mod who could turn them down) should be considered bad design at this point. This isn't the mid-2000's anymore, lol. The old internet was better in a lot of ways but this isn't one of them.

The fact that I have to delete my TVTropes account and make a new one just so it doesn't have my deadname is... just great. (and that was sarcasm)

Operius is back, looking sharper than ever. Here's a quick look at Operius DX, just a taste of what's to come. We will be showing more from the game and highlighting what's new in the upcoming days, so stay tuned! #indiedev #gamedev #gamemaker

Just a heads up, but there appears to be a scam going around on Discord that targets game developers The scammer will reach out, claim to be a game promoter and offer to promote your game before asking for payment. Be careful! -Jules (see the attached image for a list of red flags to look out for)

Something I do way too often - including while I was making Melody Memorial - is listen to music from Hadestown and imagine Joseph and Angeli embodying the roles of Orpheus and Eurydice. I still need to see the show someday...

Mystery of Melody Memorial is now 1 year old! I've got big plans for Joseph and Angeli in the future; but in the meantime, I'll be giving away 2 Steam keys for the game To enter: -Repost this -Reply and answer the question: What music have you been listening to lately? You have until March hits!

#FriendShapes - featured in the Haunted PS1 Demo Disc, is now on Steam store.steampowered.com/app/3475600/... Think your way around Encounters instead of fighting in this existential horror RPG 40ish Shapes | 4 Hour Long OST | Replayable Changing Areas | 8+ Hours of Unforgettable Experiences

Art was by kittercyat.neocities.org - who also helped, along with my best friend Floof, with some of the Encounter art - which I used to produce the sprites you see in game out of

Unsure how much it matters due to current events, but today is the first anniversary of the full release of #FriendShapes! Thank you everyone that's tried, shared, streamed, commented on and purchased it over the past year! 🙌💜 Plus it'll be on Steam on Feb 10! Art credit below!

This is the growth-at-all-costs rot economy in a nutshell

I love the second season of #Severance so far. This is almost certainly one of my favorite recent TV shows
