i believe the process is as (or more) important than the product, but i think more people disagree with that than i realize. i mean they’re wrong but everyone gets to be wrong about something

i want an extended edition of gay hockey show where there is more hockey

bruh cbc passive voice is so tryhard lol “bystander dies after collision with surrey bc police bullet officials say collision occurred while bullet was leaving police gun “

Ikenfell is the first game I've played that had vocal music within the story (not credits). This one has to be my fave; I gasped when the scene with this song started. Turns out it's within my vocal range too.

there was a period in the old indie days where we would put like “more games!” menu in our games where we would be like “if you like this try these!” and just list the names of your friends games or other indie games that were similar the player might enjoy. might be a cool thing to bring back

Hey, if you wanted to start into game development but didn’t know how, I have this document you can use to get yourself started in Godot: docs.google.com/document/d/1... #godot #gamedev #indiedev

it takes a special kind of asshole to hear people going "I'm exhausted from working too much and I can't afford as much as I used to when I worked less" and go well, actually. no you're not, and yes you can

i see all the very stupidest people who think they're scientists (economists, and their amateur imitators) are bumping up against the glass walls of their enclosure and they're getting really agitated

this technology will ultimately make the world a better place, though! wait, what do YOU think a "better place" is? well you see [5 minutes later]

got too many friends so i’m gonna start saying “appetite stimulant” instead of “flavor” from now on

“indie doesn’t mean what it used to back in the day” diddums it didn’t mean it back then either, and the same arguments were happening almost verbatim in 2010, just at a different scale.

remember when i made a game with matt furie (pepe the frog guy) in 2010 it came on a CD in giant robot magazine, but we also had a custom SNES-themed Scion car made that projected the game out of the headlights and you could play it with an SNES controller coming out of the dashboard

my texture atlases bring all the girls to the yard

forked LDTK to see how easy it would be to hack new features into it for my projects, and couldn't get it to compile because npm+electron/versions/haxe who knows what errors. every single time i use npm it is like this, almost nothing ever works out the gate ever. i've been spoiled rotten by cargo

i have to finish a game so i cant do it now, but one day i am determined to make and release my perfect open source 2D level editor.

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead. I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.

there seems to be nothing AI pilled people will listen to that convinces them that their garbage fascism toy is bad, actually, and so shunning is where we end up but wow shunning is such messy business haha
