Take a look at some of the custom editor tools I'm using to build my city 🔨 Once the city is complete, it'll be distributed as a public domain model - ready for your games and projects.

Someone recommended The Knightling to me tonight and it's a charming little game. Reminds me of the classic PS2 days of old.

We got to talk about The Knightling and how we created our little game, and you can catch the whole interview tomorrow! Thank you @andresplays.bsky.social for the opportunity! 🧡

Btw, today is the last day you can get The Knightling at a heavy discount! Give it a try. @theknightling.bsky.social store.steampowered.com/app/1471650/...

Such a pleasure talking to someone as versed and passionate as Luis, made even better by the fact that The Knightling seems to have clicked perfectly with him!

This is back open; if you're part of a (massive) layoff in the game industry you can request a product of mine for free. It's not much, but it might help you in your journey ahead. 🫂 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I've had my fair share of open world games that I ended up disliking because I forced myself to play them. That's why, when I find a deeply creative one with fun new ideas, I take notice. Play The Knightling!

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

lost for words

lmao the eurovision mascot is so ugly I literally screamed at this reveal

Happy First Day of Spring! May the clouds disappear, may you see blue skies, may you touch grass 💙 🙏

Making a game as a little indie studio is hard, marketing it is harder! The best way you can support us is to play The Knightling, leave us a review, and share the game with your friends! And it's on a huge sale now! Our 0.35 marketing person thanks you 🙏 store.steampowered.com/app/1471650/...

Duck Side of the Moon waddles onto PC and Nintendo Switch on May 7th, 2026! "Explore every corner of the galaxy and find curious creatures and materials along the way. Craft gadgets, upgrade your spaceship, and get cozy in this relaxing adventure."

Are we doing it right

DLSS 5 looks amazingly

Pokopia be like: - Collect berries - Build a cute cottage - Befriend Squirtle - Read journal about how mankinds hubris poisoned the world forever separating loved ones and dooming civilization - Have a picnic!

The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit

Pokopia has that magical Nintendo thing that I think is a result of institutional knowledge and tons of playtesting, but to the player results in a feeling of being deeply and truly known and anticipated as a human animal, in all of your weird inchoate wants and needs.

Happy Friday 13th! Hope your day is going better than this guy's.

So…the knightling. I haven’t played much of it yet, computer ate a brick, but I love him so much. Expect more of that cutie patootie squire. And yes, of course my sona gets a new form to match the world. He’s so cute… #theknightling #fanart #doodles

A little peak behind the curtain 👀

So yeah Pokopia I think is gonna make switch 2 into a must have system for this side of next 2 years probably Animal crossing but with pokemon is literally multi generational crack

can't stop saying this

New blog post! The Knightling was made by only 15 people, if you can believe it! Check out @ciskao.bsky.social's insights into creating a more personal and handcrafted game experience. twirlbound.com/2026/03/10/d...

Hard to express how grateful I am to have met and now have the privilege to work with JC!! The world would look a lot better with more JCs around

If we had to #TeaseYaGame for The Knightling, the original idea literally came from a one-sentence shower thought about "a knight with a shield instead of a sword" and we made that into a whole game which you can now play on Steam, Xbox, and Ps5! store.steampowered.com/app/1471650/...

Hoppers dominated at the box office with the biggest opening for an original animated movie since Coco in 2017, with $46 million. Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Bride bombed with just $7.2 million. And did Scream 7 have a 72% drop? You bet it did theplaylist.net/hoppers-pops...

From Circana's PlayerPulse - US video game player sentiment around the use of generative AI is worsening. In December 2025, over 25% of players said the use of generative AI would lead them to refuse or be less likely to buy a game. Reposting because in my first try I words up my mixed.

Does a video game aimed at a younger audience deserve less recognition than their more mature counterparts? It certainly seems that way, but it shouldn't.  The Knightling has a juvenile vibe, but it's still a rich open world with heart.

looking at the GDC talks for this year and this kinda sums it up, huh

Accidentally hit the soft reset ABXY combination in LeafGreen and lost 2.5 hours of gameplay. Can't say that I'll play any more now, what an astonishing feature to have on by default

In 2019, I created #WhatAGameDevLooksLike after I was stopped by security 3(!!) times while picking up my speaker badge. I’m a small Asian woman with pink hair, and I guess I didn’t visually meet their expectations of a speaker. Ironically, I was at GDC to speak about inclusive studio cultures. 🫠

Oh shiiiii, that's a welcome surprise!

Can't believe we fell for it but we're also enjoying the fall
