Damn extreme wealth creates conditions of estrangment within the family unit as a variety of domestic employees perform the majority of childrearing while the parents descend into ghoulish solipsism? I'll have to tell my governess, tutor, weapons-master, and even humble Otto the Gardener about this!

HASTINGS: I say, Poirot, this vial’s labeled “hyaluronic acid”! Is it a poison? SKINCARE HERCULE POIROT: Non, mon ami. This acid, it replenishes the skin’s barrier naturale HASTINGS: So this is a gal who takes care of her skin. SKINCARE HERCULE POIROT: *irritated* The gentleman may use it as well

Video game fact! Though there are hundreds of video games of many genres and styles, there are only three possible “sizes” a video game can come in. Those sizes are: “Small” (16.00 MB) “Medium” (374.26 MB) “Large” (154.44 GB)

Seeing folks talk about NITW being a quintessential game about America which is a common misconception- it actually takes place in ancient rome

Had the privilege of introducing folks to Classics of Game on a Discord call just now so I'm carrying on that opportunity to everyone here at Bluesky. Here's a thread of some of my favorites. Please subscribe to this channel, it's the best: www.youtube.com/@ClassicsOfG...

The way that sales on the Unity Asset Store work is that every week, they keep the items that have sold the best on sale. When Unity run sales events, Yarn Spinner is consistently kept from week to week. Yarn Spinner, we conclude, is pretty good.

im pretty far on the anti-AI and LLM end of the spectrum, but you have to constantly think critically and reassert your reasons *why* you oppose it, otherwise you end up taking positions like "it's good to manually complete tasks which could be automated and doing avoidable work is virtuous"

WIP of the "Hint Pigeon", a feature of Leonardo's Moon Ship where you can send off a pigeon to collect a relevant hint from Leonardo's archives. All driven by @yarnspinner.dev and the saliency system, of course. #gamedev #wip #leonardosmoonship

oh my god they literally just did this

Yarn Spinner literally SHOWN in Day of the Devs via "Prove You're Human" by @sunsetvisitor.studio! 😍 www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJJ5...

A huge number of upcoming games powered by Yarn Spinner are featured in showcases this weekend! Every single one of these has a demo available right now, so go check them out! We'll highlight more over the coming week, too!

In Yarn Spinner+, we’ve added two new dialogue presenters: Snaaake, and Classic RPG! These featureful, ready-to-go presenters are great for adapting into your game, or using as-is! Learn more on the site: yarnspinner.dev/install/#uni...

Part of being an AI user in creative works is convincing yourself that everyone ELSE uses it too, because otherwise you have to confront the reality that you're a faker and a fraud

myst and gumby are both fundamentally about dudes who are addicted to travelling inside of fucked up books

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

yeah man did you hear? the guy casting shadows in plato's allegory of the cave got cancelled for casting problematic shadows. yeah its really fucked up especially given that the shadows cast on the wall of the cave are basically the same thing as real things outside of the cave

We worked real hard and did a huge amount of quality of life stuff (mouse control, text logs), added New Game Plus, and a bunch of extra dialog bits for Demonschool. It's also currently the Steam daily deal at 30% off! Good time to grab it if you haven't.

We were looking at doing a "let's recreate a dialogue presenter from another game" thing, and we got a bit distracted, because we're huge nerds.

Do you ever think about the fact that the designers of General Midi were tasked with coming up with the 128 most important instruments in the world, and one of the answers they came up with was "Goblins"

Max Force, Secret Agent, doesn't let a brief interruption get in the way of their over-dramatic exposition, and gets right back to what they were saying.

Yarn Spinner+ is 50% off on the Unity Asset Store for another 40 hours! Go grab it, help us build the world’s best tools for dialogue, and get some sweet integrations for other popular assets to help make your game! assetstore.unity.com/packages/too...

we were really hoping to be at #GodotCon26, but couldn't this year! But we have a small bit Yarn Spinner for #Godot news, just for you! 👀 We'll try to get to the next #GodotCon! www.yarnspinner.dev/blog/godotco...

Yarn Spinner+ is still on sale on the Unity Asset Store!! Grab it today, help support Yarn Spinner’s development, and get goodies like excellent Text Animator integration!

I'm still eternally thinking about this

We had an amazing time showing off a selection of Yarn Spinner games at the second ever Level Up Tasmania, in our home town of Nipaluna/Hobart! Thanks to the amazing teams behind the games. It was truly difficult to pry people off the 4 devices had rotating between the games! 😍

"bsky users blame every problem on vibe coding" yeah, dude. if you got a dog to code this website i wouldn't be wasting time asking which of you was the source of each new bug

I've been thinking about it. And I think there might only be three types of narrative game 1. Explore the Psyche of Man 2. Stuff Already Happened, And Now You're Here 3. Lesbian Bartender

game narratives are able to ask important questions of humanity and let us live out the consequences. questions like, "what if a man had to hang out with a pre-teen girl" and "what if a pre-teen girl had to rely entirely on a man" and "what if a pre-teen girl had powers, and also, a man was there"

Want to support the development of Yarn Spinner? Save some time setting up your next Unity project with extra custom views and inbuilt support for Text Animator? Yarn Spinner+ for Unity is on sale now on the Unity Asset Store at HALF PRICE! assetstore.unity.com/packages/too...

Dinner looks delicious dear but it seems a little... linear. Where are the rogue-like elements that make every new bite interesting and fresh. The re-eatability value here is not very high if I'm being honest

this is an exceptionally pleasing tweet to choose to parse literally

If you enjoyed our April Fools project tarot.yarnspinner.dev you might also enjoy a nice side effect of our making that: a much-improved Public Domain version of the Rider-Waite Smith #tarot deck. I went a bit overboard in photoshop, and now they're here for all to use: themartianlife.com/tarot
