damn steam controller sold out intstantly?? i was gonna jump on it at 10am but then had a meeting and got sidetracked. i hope this is people getting a controller to use and not to resell

finally beat STS2 with The Defect. big deck + status build ftw! really couldn't get any motion with a channelling build that's 2 down! thinking of doing the Regent next but I've heard it's tricky, any tips?

jokes on you: i may be normal, but i'm not a programmer ahahahaa

Been working with Adam for a few months now and it’s great! Recommend if you just need a bit of structure to get going to the gym

big fan @manbearcar.bsky.social

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Thank you for playing Horsey Game! Updates will continue to roll in

horsey game is peak

ok so Discord is actively enshittifying. where to next then? back to email?

Omg Northernlion streamed Horsey Game!! So cool to see something you've worked on being enjoyed Congrats to @manbearcar.bsky.social on making a heck of a game!! 🐎🏇

sometimes you gotta bet on a horse cause of it's name ya know? www.youtube.com/shorts/IIqZB...

Here's a YouTube upload for the Horsey Game trailer! The idea for the VO came to me in the shower and it was almost entirely written and recorded before I was dry youtu.be/AM1AUad2RhA

clip clop over to the steam shop n lasso a copy into your game barn today!! Justin somehow let me do sound n music stuff for this game. my first time! I'm sure people will have opinions on it, but it was a blast 🐎

My 2nd and latest experiment with daily driving Linux has ended and i'm sad 😔 I edited the entire Horsey Game trailer in Kdenlive on Linux and it was...fine? They gotta fix the keyframing workflow yikes Once Win-only apps can be run as easily as games on Steam Proton, I'll be back

Digging this new moogenics game

Any #godot folks out there ever done seamless screen wrapping? Basic screen wrap is fairly easy, just snap an object when it’s offscreen. But if a sprite is halfway off screen right, how do you get the other half to show on screen left?

May the HORSE be with you 🐎 I did the trailer and sfx for this game. Go wishlist it, NEIGH-bour!

I bring you Horsey Game store.steampowered.com/app/3602570/...

omg thank you @aftermath.site ❤️

May thy app ship and enshittify

Linux Update: I found a open source video editor called Kdenlive that is quite good! kdenlive.org It has a bit of that open source jank (especially with keyframing), but does a LOT of what I need and feels very Premiere-y. Even has a effects stack like After Effects

i so badly want to be out of the shackles of windows I'm gonna try to edit the Horsey Game trailer in entirely in Linux. wish me luck 🤞

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

The Seance of Blake Manor is a pretty solid investigation game ala Obra Dinn if u like that sorta thing. Like a murder mystery party for one Set in 1800 Ireland with lots of history, murder, snoopin’, and ooky spooky ghosts

Watched TRON: ARES as part of our NYE tradition to dress fancy and see the biggest box office flop of the past year One review on Letterboxd just said "like a pretty poop from a butt" and I couldn't agree more Fun seeing Vancouver tho! Can confirm, that is how people drive on the Port Mann bridge

Love a good fan edit! It’s like a mod for movies 🍿 Yearly reminder that the M4 Book Edit of The Hobbit trilogy is by far the best one. It combines all 3 movies into one 4-hour extended edition that fits in nicely before a holiday rewatch of LotR m4studios.github.io/hobbit-book-...

It’s only a matter of time till we get a Recap of all the Recaps “This year you spent 47 minutes watching recaps” “Your Recap personality is: Data Enjoyer” “Feeling mummified? You rewatched your Spotify Wrapped 4 times”

We are so beyond honoured that Rift was recognized for its music for the @indiegameawards.gg Thank you to all our incredible composers. Rift of the NecroDancer doesn’t just feature music – it IS the music. ❤️

sometimes the word “adult” sounds like “addled” and it feels accurate

To celebrate UNBEATABLE's launch this week, we dropped a FREE TRACK in Rift, AND you can play a couple of your favourite Rift tracks in UNBEATABLE! 🤝Get our bundle on Steam: store.steampowered.com/bundle/59462... @dcellgames.com ✨

when we were making Rift, i told my nephew i was making a rhythm game and he said "oh like Friday Night Funkin'?" well now i can say FNF is in our game!!

waiting for the devs to patch out clout chasing

SWITCH PLAYERS! IT’S OFFICIAL: Everhood, Monstercat, and Shovel Knight DLCs coming to Nintendo Switch in January 2026!

correct, the ideal trailer is one that you create entirely in the game itself congrats on the launch @rd.7thbe.at! excited to check out 1.0!!

*mic drop*

VGX 2025 was incredible!! Met lots of great folks, had a blast! As you can plainly see in this photo of me intensely hovering over our Rift of the NecroDancer players hehe 🧛🏻

It’s less “daylight savings” and more like “nighttime loan”

PHANTOM BRIGADE 2.0 DROPS TOMORROW!!

Sam did some of my favourite tracks on Rift only 3 songs deep in this new album and it's already VERY GOOD

i don't know why i didn't draw these mockups haha

I will say this for the Valve announcement: it is refreshing to see a product launch that is just "here's a product that you might want. here's what it is. here's what it does" with absolutely no mention of AI, mysterious future features that might arrive OTA, or some extractive business model.

Where would I point a small team of indie devs to get marketing advice these days? Any consulting folks out there?
