did you know that Formless Star is the "Game of the Year"*? and it's free? why, you'll look like a fool if you don't play it! splendidland.itch.io/formless-star *as decided by a panel of judges composed of myself and my own bloated ego, and a crowd of my most beloved sycophants

In Diddy Kong Racing DS, the message when connection is lost during Download Play is "LOST ALL CHILDREN". The cartridge is internally called a "parent" and the downloaded instances its "children". While this would make sense to the developers, it has the potential to confuse or scare players.

Okay, I was just surprised by the realisation that my album is done. I listened to the whole thing through and I'm really happy with it. Waow. Gonna keep going until I run out of ideas but I'm ready to post it in the next few weeks

This is all I can hear.

it's just sad because this stuff was influential and you would think or hope it had an impact but as far as the gamerbrained are concerned the only thing that matters is high profile commercial releases in an already existing popular genre and they have fully shaped all popular discourse

this post is so funny to me because it reminds me how much of us arty indie game types basically have always existed in a parallel ecosystem that never reached the gamer masses 98% of the time and basically doesn't have anything to do with them

I accidentally left an effect on when i played the whole song but it sounds kind of awesome

Woah, I found another unfinished version of this song from may 2025 that's halfway between this and the final version. It's kinda cool to see how it changed. I think the synth in the original version was pretty but it didnt really fit the feel of the album (also here's an old wip version of the art)

Some people out there may remember the comic I made called 'Gather Ye Power'. I stopped posting it in 2022, but I would still come back and chip away at it every now and again. Today, it is coming back. Just posted up #28, mostly from 2022-24, to the old location: www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/ga...

hey sorry if I came across weird last night. I’ve actually been in a Groundhog Day situation for the past 1000 years and I really wasn’t expecting that to be the final loop.

new video is out now! it's my birthday so you have to watch it and also agree with everything thanks www.youtube.com/@Acerola_t

SOUP ROOMS is genuinely one of the coolest projects I've ever had the pleasure to be a part of and I can't wait to share it with the world.

There's always a fun problem when I do this where I KNOW a part has more going on than just the bassline & melody so I have to keep trying stuff to flesh it out until I find something that feels familiar. Same for figuring out a bassline like this where I remember it being busy

The new Lumines has absolutely killer art direction precisely because it has zero fear of being perceived as corny. It will just throw every idea it has at you and maybe not all will land but at some point you WILL cry about how all humans are connected while matching broccoli and tomatoes onscreen

This is in the replies and it demonstrates a real issue which is if you find profundity from an AI, you’re responding to something profound a human being wrote that was vacuumed up and what ends up happening is you thank AI and not only don’t thank the person, you have no idea they were involved

Working on a Niantic Maps SDK-less version of cyber@avebury, since they suddenly announced their decision to shutter support and break all endpoints by october. Well, on the bright side, this means I get to go and do a tiny bit more visual polishing while working on the new version's functionality

twice today, when pressured, Stripe operators have said, plainly, that i cannot use stripe for the purchase of LGBTQ content. not just adult content, but explicitly LGBTQ.

I’ve seen it said that all itch has done is make it so you can’t search things but that isn’t true: they are taking works down and withholding payouts. I think sympathy for itch is a reasonable perspective to hold, but their response is more severe than many seem to realise atm

I'm really excited to announce that my upcoming game Spin Spirits was chosen for a grant from Screen Australia! Huge thanks to their team!! 🎉🎉🎉 👉 www.screenaustralia.gov.au/sa/media-cen... Trailer, Steam Page and demo (!!!) soon-ish! #IndieGames #GameDev #IndieDev #GameMaker

The censorship of 80+ games on Steam this week was apparently the work of Australian antiporn group Collective Shout, which partnered with US evangelicals to pressure Visa and Mastercard. They claimed, without evidence, that the games involved child abuse. Great work by @acvalens.net for VICE.

so, if this persists, and you wonder 15 years from now where all the LGBT games went, where all the weirdo games went, where all kink stuff you like went, remember this kind of censorship of "trash games" is where it starts. stop approving of the authority for others to decide what you can see

Queer content gets flagged as “explicit” even when it’s PG. A trans dev making a personal story? “Too controversial.” A surreal queer VN? “Sexualized.” Financial deplatforming in action.

Banks like Visa and Mastercard are now backdoor moral authorities. They already pressured Patreon, OnlyFans, and others to remove NSFW content. Now Steam is next. And guess who they’ll target first? Queer, transgressive, or “unusual” games.

Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs

as a gamer, I'm usually looking for games that give me more boosts than other games. or free gems on signup. I dont want to play any games without boosts or gems
