"Order and disorder." probably my last take at #genuary26, uses a 3D pathfinder to go from neatly ordered stacks to a random layout. #genuary2615 BTW, I'm available for freelance work (2 days a week for now). HIRE ME, I'm GOOD (& CHEAP! 😁) also ok with collabs, mentoring, Q&As, AMA...

I was lucky enough to contribute, in a small way, to a project that turned out to be my favorite inkle game to date. You are lucky enough to have not played it yet. If you are into narrative mysteries, do yourself a favor: don't read reviews, jump in as uninformed as I was. See you in 6-8 hours😉

There's a new puzzle adventure coming on January 21 from @inkle.co: "A World War II computer. An archive of lost books. A world-changing secret." We've gotten to try TR-49 already... Let's just say you'll want to wishlist this one ASAP. #indiegames punishedbacklog.com/inkle-tr-49-...

🚨⚠️ Release Date Disclosure! ⚠️🚨 TRAILER: VIDEO EVIDENCE, see below. Please watch, assimilate and share. DESIGNATION: TR-49 GENRE: NARRATIVE DEDUCTION / AUDIO_DRAMA DATE: 21st JANUARY PLATFORMS: iOS / PC / Mac / Deck This is what we know, so far.

GLSL Web CRT Shader I’m releasing my GLSL Web CRT Shader as open source. blog.gingerbeardman.com/2026/01/04/g... Have fun with it! 😎

I also learnt that the ill fated Amiga CD32 was announced in that very Science Museum (and that it was "popular in Europe", for some definition of popular I suppose).

Monkey Island (🐒🏝️ for short) randomly spotted today in a London museum... ...Twice !?! - 🐒🏝️ 2 Special Edition is playable in the Power Up exhibition at The Science Museum - 🐒🏝️ 1 is part of the very serious Pirates exhibition at the National Maritime Museum (right next to Sid Meier's own Pirates!)

Can't stop tweaking Tinytron 🤗📺 - fixed longer videos support - jpeg files + slideshow mode with customizable timing interval - unique AP SSID (useful for workshops!) - updated doc: V1 rev boards, non destructive cable mod 🙏 @onemore.bsky.social for your contributions! t0mg.github.io/tinytron

⚠️ TR-49 -- an archive of books that don't exist ⚠️ We began investigating through a simple prototype - before we built the machine. The "game" has moved far, far beyond this now. But the old prototype is "playable". You may find it revealing. ❗ www.inklestudios.com/tr-49/pinboa...

Yes, build one this weekend! 🙂 Also did you know it supports screen mirroring and has a cool web UI ? Watch the presentation video I apparently made way too late :)

I found out why the Tinytron assembly video has 10x more views than the demo video :) hackaday.com/2025/11/30/t...

Made a showcase video for my Tinytron project :) youtu.be/HspYfg55T3A

Great looking edu-ish 80 days-ish gone, love the idea.

@atomic14.bsky.social hey Chris, just wanted to say thanks for all your content, and in particular your ESP32-Tv series which served as the basis for my Tinytron project: t0mg.github.io/tinytron/ Cheers !

I don't know if I'll ever beat the amount of over engineering I've put in the Jackal project. This ain't it for sure. However, this one is my most over-engineered GitHub repository so far: - auto firmware build on push (both OTA and factory ones) - auto website deploy on push (GitHub pages)

Introducing : Tinytron 📺 A TV Combi desk toy with a 1.69" display that plays videos from a microSD or a remote computer over WiFi. Project costs under 30€ and can be built in less than an hour, 3D print included! ⚡ So... who are you going to gift one to? 🤗 Files & docs: t0mg.github.io/tinytron

My next pet project is hiding on my desk. Can you spot it? Wrong answers only.

I'll be hosting a panel at Adventure X about how I took it when Jon thought of me for voicing a pedantic character with a french accent.

Today is the day to tell a strange story. The long version we'll tell later, but the short version is this. In an attic, in his late great-uncle's house, @jon.inkle.co found a locked trunk. It took twenty years to open. Last summer he did. Inside was a wiring diagram, and a stack of books.

okay, seriously: if we were to corral this, would anyone be interested in contributing? Here is the google form: forms.gle/m2V4j4cDvwNu...

I just want to put this out into the universe. If you are a homebrew developer of a GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SMS, MD/Genesis, N64, or PS1 game with a free version or a free demo of you game, I’d love to ship it with SuperStation as a physical or digital demo disk.

🎹🔴 Twas oddly difficult to find a free, web based MIDI recorder + player for my spouse's piano sessions. So I made t0mg.github.io/midi-recorder 100% from my phone with Gemini (AI Studio + jules.google.com), GitHub, svgomg and inline editing. A bit of a meta experiment, with a tangible outcome 🎶

Hear me out: a highly accurate fiction film set in the 1990 Atari/Amiga coding scene. No mainstream producer would produce that. But a crowd of nerds just might. - "Where do I sign", you ask? - fr.ulule.com/demo-par-ale... Sure it's in French but if you contribute enough there will be subtitles 😏

I asked Gemini to decrypt the redacted tagline in @mrsambarlow.bsky.social's Project D (store.steampowered.com/app/2640200/...). The response is obviously hallucinated (there is no such text in P.T.) but I'm very puzzled by how eerily specific it feels given that I gave zero context. Kinda spooky!

After Expelled came out we looked around for our next project, considering mechanical successors to Highland, 80 Days, Heaven’s Vault… … and settled on a design that looked “simple”, has a completely new-to-us-anyway loop and narrative architecture. It wasn’t simple :(

Made a lil puzzle treasure chest for an event. An Arduino monitors 8 reed switches under the lid, triggered by the 🧩s (plywood top + MDF mid layer to hold a magnet + iron-on edge banding). When placed in the expected order a tiny servo unlatches the box! Nobody noticed the Easter egg tune though 😛

Expedition 33 Acts <=> FFVII CDs Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Another great vid from @modernvintagegamer.com I'll also point out demoscene-the-art-of-coding.net initiative to get it registered as UNESCO intangible cultural heritage & it was recognized in France as a spontaneous digital creation movement this year thanks to mo5.com youtube.com/watch?v=vIQ7...

Happy 40th anniversary, Amiga old girl. You still make my heart sing. July 23, 1985 - today.

Saw a couple of digital art frame crowdfunding projects using those new Spectra6 e-ink displays lately, and I figured I'd give it a DIY shot. Will drop the whole project on GitHub soon!

Honestly, this photographer was wasted on corporate stock photos.

Was thinking about puzzles and what makes a good one. The field is very broad, but perhaps something like "leaves you with a deeper understanding"? I don't much enjoy "find combination A and apply in unlikely place B" for this reason - the puzzle gets easier the LESS you think about it. But...

Incredibly cool. youtu.be/6DifrkaALOg?...

Day 20. Finally got to room 46. It did not spark joy. Relief mostly. Yet for some twisted reason (the same that makes me want to love the game) I feel compelled to continue until I find joy. Send help. And the solution to the drawing room.

I had no idea about the context of its creation. Makes me love this amazing film even more. Few movies had such a powerful impact on young me that they still linger in my head decades later (The City of Lost Children was another one).

I really, really really want to love Blue Prince like the rest of the planet does but I'm 1.5h in and struggling at it. Do I need to adjust my expectations that there will indeed be a lot of grinding and wasted runs because of the roguelike mechanic ?

Yeah, this is my jam. Got sucked right into Type Help until I reached that screen. If you liked @dukope.bsky.social's Return of the Obra Dinn or @mrsambarlow.bsky.social's games, you're in for a free treat. Any idea how to support the dev? william-rous.itch.io/type-help

In the 70s, Sharp had a series of "Latte case" boomboxes; as the line went on, more and more got put into it, like TVs. One of the last in the line was the RatecaPuter - a latte-case boombox with a 2KB computer that could run SHARP Basic programs off of the built in tape deck.

Inspired by @carolmertz.itch.io's project, I made a simple board game with my kid, based on a little known video game we both fancy. It was fun to build, and even to play so here are the templates and rules in case you also have a child, cardboard box and rainy day: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Running a dreamy adventure experiment with Gemini 2. I started by asking it to describe the layout of an abandoned outpost in Antarctica. From now on I'll just share my prompt and Gemini's response 🧵 "Let's start from the outside. Show me the outpost. The sun is setting and we're standing outside."

I launched a new project last week! "Play With Your Own Junk" is a collection of free games you can play with stuff you already own. It's my way of making space for anticapitalist art that challenges overconsumption and the carbon impact of large-scale product production. youtu.be/aMs-FkVK7K4?...

I distinctly remember noticing how well designed and crafted this prop is when watching the show. Kudos to the creators of this retrofuturistic take on the Voight Kampff tester (which was plain futuristic, and now retro too, but like the other way around you see what I mean) make3.co/work/woemeter
