Lazy couch gaming Sunday? We've got you covered 🎮

Assigning labels that harm the reputation of honest game developers based on anonymous, unverified reports is completely wrong. It is also extremely dangerous, as it can be easily weaponized to damage accounts you dislike for any reason.

Yes... ha ha ha... yes!

Yes... ha ha ha... yes!

Aaaand the winner of the 2025 Nobel Prize of Literature is... László Krasznahorkai! Yay uncle K ❤️ "for his compelling and visionary œuvre that, in the midst of apocalyptic terror, reaffirms the power of art" Absolutely deserved.

I don't think I've ever read an intro that made me want to jump into a book RIGHT NOW so badly.

Yesterday it was nice and sunny so I thought it would be warm enough to sit outside and read for a bit, with a Baileys-spiked coffee for good measure. Big mistake 💀 Froze my ass off and couldn't even focus on reading. At least the coffee was great though!

This is happening! Or... something is happening, at the very least. We still have to create sooooo many assets, so this is not going to be a fast process. But still, I'm confident that we're going to make it before the end of the year. Be excited! Be, be excited! 🤸🏻

Chill Zambas To Play Cards Against The Devil To. Music by @matiasjolmedo ❤️ Steam page coming this year! For sure!

Incredibly rare charity shop find, 2,50€ for the Pessoa and 2€ for the Baricco! 😱 Fun fact, I ripped off a full chapter of Oceano Mare for a scene in The Many Sins of House Ocampo 😁 "Good artists copy, great artists steal", right?

Well, the thing is that I'm *decent* (ish) at action games but platforming is the bane of my existence, so no, I'm not having a good time 😭

Guess what I've been working on for the last couple of weeks 🎬

Before coding a single line, we always sketch things out the classic way - pen and paper. It's funny now to recall Dr Samuels' discarded morgue stage, or the balcony that Lady Winterbourne never got. But in the end, the best ideas are the ones that survive... I hope!

I went to my favourite Berlin museum to spend the afternoon and OMG THEY WERE PLAYING MAYA DEREN'S "MESHES OF THE AFTERNOON". I'd never watched it on a large screen before! I can't believe I got this lucky 🖤

32°C today, 35°C tomorrow. No place better to be right now than here 🪦 Cheers!

- Had a croissant + espresso for breakfast - Bought an amazing baguette - Watched Godard's "Pierrot le fou" - Worked on our game for 3 hours - Read Thomas Bernhard's "Wittgenstein's Nephew" while listening to Oscar Peterson What a day! And I still have time for a horror movie!

Begun 1983. Published 1992. Out again today.

The "problem" with our pixel art is that it's too dark and too detailed, so it's easy to scroll by if you're on your phone and looking for big, eye-catching, colourful shapes. But stop for a second and zoom in, and you'll gasp at the insane amount of work Thomas has put in here.

Nice reviews always make us feel warm and fuzzy inside, but nothing can compare to the feeling when someone just GETS it.

It's hard to believe that 4 years later, our little game is still touching people's hearts... (and reviews like these still touch ours 🥹)

I replaced my old drugstore notebook with a tiny Moleskine 💅🏻 This will *surely* take my writing for House Ocampo to the next level, right?

Monsieur Satie left us 100 years ago as of today. Raise a glass and play a Gnossienne, or a Gymnopédie, or a Nocturne in his memory. Santé! 🍷

'tis the season, let's go!

Dead Idle wishes you a wonderful midsummer / solstice! ☀️

Gamedev weekend countryside retreat.

Finally checking out Mark Fisher's "The Weird and the Eerie". I find his takes on hauntology and lost futures extremely on point, so I'm excited to see what he's got to say about these very dear and near to my heart subjects.

I'm pretty sure it's statistically impossible that every single person going through the security control ahead of me has never been in an airport. And yet.

Anybody here who still doesn't have our Supporter Pack? It's less than 3 bucks now, I mean, what can you even get for 3 bucks these days? A can of Coke? Two cigarettes? Get it here: store.steampowered.com/app/1628970/...

I know I'm late to the Lies of P party, but the news that it's getting a DLC later this year was the excuse I needed to finally pull the tigger. What a GAME!

My new strategy to help me focus is to make a tiny "to read next" pile out of my huge "to read" pile. Still, sometimes I'll walk past the large pile and go "oh, I want to read this one now", but isn't the point of hoarding to always have something on hand to suit your mood?

Goddammit, what a year! RIP my wallet, and thank god that at least I don't care about Elden Ring Nightreign.

Rise and shine! New Postmodern Adventures game announced! Praise be to the Outer Gods 🦑🌌

Holy shit, what an opening ❤️

When we were putting together our Supporter Pack, I wanted it to be a companion to IOAWN4T rather than just a nice extra. I wanted every quote I chose and every word I wrote for it to mean something, to give more insight into the influences that went into creating the game.

Got my hands on some excellent Italian literature recently ❤️ What would I even do without second hand bookstores?

Thomas made me watch Roy Andersson's "You, the Living" as reference for our next-NEXT game and I think I have a new obssession now.

Kafka knew that Monday feeling.

Many good friends call this their home now, so I need to get into the habit of posting stuff here too that's not just gamedev/marketing related. Case in point, my reading plans for February. I don't plan on reading the WHOLE Gormenghast tome in one go though. I'll read other stuff between volumes!

"You and I have an appointment... at the end of the world." Little to do in the Chilean saltpeter works but drink and gamble your soul away. New scene from The Many Sins of House Ocampo coming along nicely! Hopefully soon we'll have enough material for a Steam page! 🤞🏻
