Adding some recent press to my website and struck, again, by this line from @solarpunklitmag.bsky.social's review ☀️ "the opposite of apocalypse isn't utopia or even optimism. Rather, it’s responsibility, relationship, and the long, messy, collective work of making a damaged world livable again."

Show me a cool physical game

why dont we arthug and artkiss eachother,, smh 😔

To all those (reasonably) bemoaning Sony's sunsetting of physical game releases, check out tape market -- it's a cool way to get physical releases of indies. Could sell your own games this way! The page also mentions using postcards with game codes as another method, which I think is pretty neat.

For years we have been overwhelmed by the volume of code contributions we have to review, especially from new contributors. AI has made the problem much worse. That's why we are taking steps to reduce the burden on maintainers while still welcoming new contributors: godotengine.org/article/cont...

Would you still love me if I was a worm?

US friends, contact your Senators! It's easier than you think it will be. Inaction is the best guarantee towards a future you don't want.

I think Lookouts is one of those games that has felt most like how it feels to fall in love. The sense of the unknown, the daydreaming, the surprises, the anxiety, the extreme bliss, the butterflies -- it's all there. It's a certified club banger

This neat directory of blogs that discuss video game was started. Those of you that write about games can also submit your blog to the list. Either way, cool to read through the articles and a great place to see some new sites: www.warppoint.games

I’m gonna ask for some help. I haven’t done this before and I was trying to avoid but things have been adding up. The birth of our son did not go as expected. We’re all home and safe now but the hospital visit was very expensive. He also had to stay in the NICU for 8 days.

this is literally the fastest "write your representative" prompt ive seen, please share your thoughts

Happy Pride, little gay animals

this game is freakin beautiful and one of you should get it so that i have someone to talk to about it

I'm going to add alt text to my past games. When it comes to visual novels, should I be including the expression changes of characters in alt text? Seeing as expressions can change every line of dialogue, I'm not sure if that would be a bit excessive.

Gosh there's so much good shit people submitted for the Manifesto Jam: itch.io/jam/manifest...

On the day the horseshoe crabs came.

Okay... I get it... I've only been writing for games for a little while but the ellipsis is so alluring... Why not have a little pause...? Trail off mysteriously... before changing thoughts... ...or even picking the thought back up. Try it sometime... but watch out..........!

let's fucking go, based

I added a new page to my website: Game dev resources! I wanted to have a more permanent spot to share the tools and websites I use often. In this first version I added multiple places to find FREE textures as well as the plugins I'm using for blender! I'll keep updating it in the future🐁

I've not seen anyone talk yet about Carcass Clad, the new game from @wrongorgan.bsky.social, who made Mouthwashing. It's a grim 3-person co-op tank game with some really grotesque accoutrements /positive www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7g8...
