And that's it!!!! The Play for Peace: Games for Palestine charity has come to an end. Together we raised nearly $117,500 USD for Palestine relief. Thank you everyone from the bottom of our hearts, this has been a wonderful journey. We'll be following up with UNRWA and Itch for next steps.

Just grabbed this,Last call going in under an hour 8$ lots of goodies and it's for a good cause.

what happened? why does Cyberpet Graveyard have such a big download spike? who talked? who dares disturb the graveyard??? 😱🪦

TIER (The online journal of games criticism) just published this conversation with me! www.tier-review.com/a-conversati... it was a lot of fun, deeply thoughtful, and i appreciate the opportunity to have chatted with them. #GameDev #GamesCrit

We interviewed @alienmelon.bsky.social and discussed text games, Interactive Fiction, social media, tech fascism, and lots more.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite video game publication @tier-review.com and one of my favorite game developers @alienmelon.bsky.social in one article!!!!!!!!!

I really enjoyed this conversation with @alienmelon.bsky.social and look forward to following this up with what I’ve learned from them.

It's way worth it!

there’s just one day left for this bundle. it’s halfway to its goal. please keep sharing and spreading the word about it. every bit helps. no effort is wasted effort. thank you!! 🙏

Get yaself 382 indie games for only 8 dollars, and it's for a good cause. oO o

Just bought this. Please share and contribute if you can.

fwiw if i share any itch bundles that go to crucial humanitarian causes (like the palestinian one) and you take that as an opportunity to make a snarky joke about itch and payment processors to dunk on itch… I’m blocking you. it’s inappropriate. these bundles are important. people need that money.

Si tuviera dinero miraba de pillarlo

More people are dying and it's not Charlie Kirk Support this, there's only 24 hours left 🍉🔁🫶

i do like when you make a spinning comments section on itch, most of the comments end up being “weeeeee” and i wouldn’t want to have it any other way alienmelon.itch.io/shovelware/c...

I should maybe not have built my app on a former cyberpet graveyard alienmelon.itch.io/graveyard

i told the truth www.nathalielawhead.com/candybox/abu...

ok so i have a Bitsy game that’s embedded into a Twine game that’s embedded into my Unreal game. i did it! I made the turducken equivalent of game engines. *smug accomplished face* 😗

i think using tiny open source game engines to prototype bigger projects (ones that match the tiny engine’s strength) is a wonderful gamedev hack. like… use bitsy to prototype environments twine to prototype dialogue decker to storyboard pico8 or pocket platformer for testing interaction…

I've used Pico8 a fair bit to prototype physics systems, collision code, rope mechanics and as you say it's a great little time-saver before integrating it properly back into the big project.

The devs did an extensive panel on how they “rebooted” the franchise — not in terms of continuity but rethinking from the ground up how they developed their games It’s great stuff and it includes this approach. Explained a lot about how Capcom entered its current era youtu.be/PwBDtp7R6aM?...

gotta bump this back up on my TL again because it’s 40% near its goal… If you like culture crit, backrooms, liminal spaces, and horror… this is up your alley! it’s a wonderful collection of essays on the topic. I wrote the chapter about games!

i saw this talk in person and it ended up being one of my faves of that year, must-watch for unreal folks

I just called Disney+ to cancel my account and had the most joyful interaction with an operator who was laughing the entire time about how many people had canceled today. I can only imagine how it feels to spend an entire day witnessing how many people want to stop fascism.

the crowdfund campaign for Darkest Margins is here! www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/darkest-ma... “DARKEST MARGINS is a collection of 24 essays from genre writers exploring expressions of liminality and liminal spaces in the horror genre, across cinema, literature, television, art and video games.”

submitting to festivals always accumulates into being incredibly expensive, and i often wonder about who’s voices are excluded with some of these entry fees. especially the bigger mainstream events, it’s obvious they’re meant for studios or publishers and not individual artists…

The support for the Games for Palestine charity bundle has been immensely appreciated these past weeks. With 6 days to go, we are about $14k from reaching $100,000. Please RT and support the bundle itch.io/b/2979/play-...

Having a bit of a setback recently on itchio as my views and downloads are down due to the site's struggles (although there's been a bit of rebound now). I currently have my Scanned Texture packs up there with 25% off and available in a bundle if you wish to help. itch.io/s/158932/sca... #art

I don’t think I’d worry too much about taking up space. I think that’s something I’d prefer people who already had found boundless levels of success concern themselves with rather than those who can have more eyes on a thing be reassuring and valuable in some, even abstract, fashion.

is it worth submitting your game to IGF if you know you can’t attend GDC?

Spoke to @junchgaming.bsky.social about the Play For Peace bundle, and a couple of game designers about why itch bundles have been such a crucial way for the industry to raise funds with their games and art
