My main way of controlling difficulty was through the game speed. But at one point it becomes impossible to avoid oncoming cars. So I'm adding a "hard mode" to the different hazards. For instance, having a train of cars rushing from behind you instead of just one. #pico8 #gamedev

found some great dev advice

turns out WPS office was making my fans go crazy all this time, been fan noise free for the last 8 hours

"Ezeuwa, Niapuzemja, Rregemunt. This world has many names, but they all bear one of two meanings: The King’s World, or The Abandoned Place" This is the world where Catacomb Kids takes place! Probly haven't drawn a fantasy map since I was a kid. Still workin' out the details but it's a fun project!

If you've been waiting for a 4-player one-button finger soccer game where you can play the piano AND the triangle, the wait is soon over...

well, fine then, it belongs to us now. animatorarchive.neocities.org

Damn I knew the finger game before it got big

chat. i did it.

what happens when you give 3 different authors the exact same TINY sprite sheet? you get 3 COMPLETELY different PICO-8 games!! it's... adamatomic.itch.io/update-jam 🎰 A Jackpot of Skulls by @brainfruit.bsky.social 🐤 Bird Watcher by @curseofremy.bsky.social 🐸 Frogwell by @adamatomic.bsky.social

Made it so that the center of mass of the fingers is lowered slightly if they're grounded and pressing the button, making them roll backside up. Adds a little bit more control. Also trying out speech bubbles.

I am sure someone else has already come to this realization, but Gandalf is basically a neighborhood cat. He has different names for everyone who knows him, disappears for worrisomely long periods, shows up whenever he wants, and no one knows where he comes from, but everyone loves him.

a lovely snippet from our latest episode which shows the importance of developers sharing their creative process. Without @obsidianent.bsky.social showing their work via devlogs, we may never have gotten the beautiful isometric world of Disco Elysium.

went back and made a new secret boss track for NUCLEAR THRONE after 10 years 👀 jukiokallio.com/r/nuclear-th... (play the game now in 60fps it's really uncanny and GOOD)

PotatoLover89 on Itchio asked if I could reupload "the get off my lawn game" claiming it was one of their favourite games (!?) Well, here it is. I did this tiny game in 2017 using Game Maker Studio 2. ottoojala.com/haivynurmiko... The controls are: P1: arrow keys + enter P2: WASD + Q Esc to reset.

The Drifter was one of NPR's best games of 2025. It's Unnumbered which means that we are officially equally as good as Donkey Kong Bananza. www.npr.org/2025/12/03/n...

Here's my game which I have been making in my free time for almost 3 years now! Bugscraper is a solo or co-op roguelike shooter. As you climb toward your tyrannical boss's office, you'll battle floor after floor of bug-like foes. 🐛 Coming 2026. Wishlist it now! :) #gamedev #indiegames

*5 minutes after invention of sliced bread*: bro i just figured something out

Thanks to the valiant efforts of many investigators we've reached past bowl 100, making 1% progress on documenting all bowls. Which revealed a crucial lead: the murder was witnessed by another bowl but it was shattered into pieces. Help me document bowls, find shattered pieces and avenge my father!

I have made this helpful flowchart to help people understand if the indie game they've heard of is a small indie game or not. If you are not in the indie world, and you have heard of a game, it is enormous. It is an absolute massive smash success that 99% of indie game devs could only dream of.

¡He documentado el bol 51! Mirad qué guay este proyecto colaborativo y animaos a participar

We've reached 81 descriptions of oatmeal thanks to the generous efforts of 5 investigators. Can we reach 100 and document %1 of all suspects before the end of the weekend? Help me avenge my father!

My line is that “procedural” is using a system to unlink agency and intention, so that design intent is indirect. Whether tarot cards or markov chains or other people are the system, the goal is the same. Authorship through a filter.

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')
