I made a Solitaire Roguelike for Ludum Dare! It's basically "what if Klondike had powerups that made the game more winnable?" This was mostly and excuse to learn Godot (which I did by the end of this) but the silly Solitaire game is a nice bonus. #ludumdare #ld58 notexplosive.itch.io/solatro

⚔️ The indie studio I work at dropped a silly lil' pirate game! ⚔️ It's a turn-based strategy game about pirates who keep backstabbing each other. There's treasure and several playable characters and it features my art. Find it on Steam, and fair winds to ye! ⛵

Some day Nintendo fans will understand that Nintendo treats its universes as piles of beloved music and iconography to be remixed and recontextualized into fun new games and not an interconnected linear narrative linked by causality But it is not this day

"#hellsite" from the most recent GMTK Game Jam was a really fun take on this genre that I would love to see expanded if the devs ever want to take it beyond the jam! notexplosive.itch.io/loop

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

PAX was so fun this year. I wish my flight was tomorrow and not today but I will be happy to rest my voice

I want to make a mystery dungeon style roguelike game and friendslop about cave diving and a fighting game and a word game and a puzzle adventure game plus I want to remake my top down shooter about casting spells and I want to make a first person dungeon crawler RPG and I want to make a platformer

As @sapphicsludge.bsky.social pointed out, it's important to call, but it's also important to not harass the people on the other end for two reasons: A) Customer service contractors can't do shit B) The goal shouldn't be expression of outrage, but jamming their phone lines for as long as possible.

For almost as long as we've known Pauline is in Donkey Kong Bananza, I've had this thought stuck in my head, and the time to get it out was now-or-never:

The first time I heard the word friendslop was from one of the Peak devs. They've embraced the term. They think it's funny. Because it is

some notes: -this was made for GMTKJam2024 and tbh we killed it -shoutout @notexplosive.bsky.social & @isawiitch.bsky.social, y'all are the BEST -the part at 0:38 is still very satisfying (minus the kick lol) -not too much else to say, play Architower: notexplosive.itch.io/architower

Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

I met @day9tv.bsky.social at The MIX yesterday at GDC and he is just as delightful and goofy in person as he is on stream

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"
