"Both equally beautiful and grim, I'm glad I had no plans after playing this game so I can sit in my room thinking about life and birds." 🙏😭🥲💕 it means a lot to see how this game moved people. it's the reason to make games.

Yes! Good UI is a powerful experience and story design tool!!!

Love old computer shows from the 80s and 90s? Want to watch them non-stop while working? Then you must bookmark The Old Timey Computer Show. It's self hosted and free of ads and a wonderful nostalgia infusion! 💾 otcs.minuspoint.com #retrocomputing #computers #retro #tv #eighties #vhs #nostalgia

If you look at web design rather than videogame design then there's lots of talk about usability and accessibility with best practices and case studies. There's a lot of cross over between the two. UI design is UI design whether for games or the web.

truly the best compliment you can receive as an interface designer is when no one comments on it 🥲

ok hear me out… i want video game award shows to have a separate category for UI work. good UI needs to be celebrated more!

this game is so cool

i feel like this is incredibly relevant to the indie game space too, especially with how discourse heavy + online it can be: web.archive.org/web/20260515... good food for thought. a big reason i don’t trust discourse topics in online discussion anymore is because narrative matters more than reality.

We love DOS games, don't we folks? How about 3D DOS games with their crunchy pixels and low-poly worlds? How about fully destructible environments and ancient Egyptian sci-fi flight combat? This is Gremlin Interactive's Sandwarriors: The Battle for the Sun Throne: youtu.be/_5W3qEeq1MA

omg thank you @warpdoor.com !! it always means a lot. 🎉🥳🥰🙏 (tip: in case u don’t follow them yet, this site curates beautiful games and things.)

proud of it so i have to share... i got this really cool ice shader done. it supports cool subsurface effects, depth, iridescence, and even sparkle! i'm happy to say i finally understand how to make one! 🤓 #GameDev #ScreenshotSaturday

Rasheed is literally risking his life for this game. Israelis could decide to capture, torture, or murder him at any point for daring to share the truth of the Nakba or Palestinian culture. He truly believes in games and their power to tell these stories. Please help his courage not be in vain.

I’m NOT excited and I’m NOT thrilled. I’m honestly scared to share this, but I’m not a coward. I have to show you what you helped us create. None of this would have been possible without your help, and we can’t finish it without your support www.launchgood.com/1948 youtu.be/D4qh1FAPEUo

ok 😆 i have a compulsion to share this again because i’m really proud of it. making a new browser based thing was a blast. html, css, javascript are an absolute joy💕

Arielle is the best!

It's heartbreaking that games as a medium remain out of reach for people telling the stories worth telling most. www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfe...

Tetrageddon is about 19 years old if you count the web version of it. Come a long way being published in Web Design magazine when it still was around and then winning a Webby award in 2022. My favorite will always be Anatomically Incorrect Dinosaurs because of the storytelling & helpful assistant.

got trapped in the error zone, but it's nice here.

Electric Zine Maker is the real deal. Supporting alienmelon's work for sure.

Someone should let me review GTA6 solely for the shits and giggles that are sure to result.

As always, Nathalie's lovely games are worth your time and this one is a delight. Short and sweet.

yay 🎉 people like my new game 💅✨💃😊🥰💕

Love this.

Greenhearth Necromancer is now available on Steam! 🎉 Our team is so proud of the game, and we can't wait for folks to take their first steps as a fledgling necromancer. ✨🌱 Please share your gardens with us; we'd love to see what you grow. 💚 store.steampowered.com/app/2127570/...

yay 🎉 people like my new game 💅✨💃😊🥰💕

This rules holy shit

Another excellent reflective digtal work from Nathaliee Lawhead, really pulls you back into what the living internet is and can be, how little what giant tech companies offer matters and how easy it could be to get rid of them as a result.

i finally updated unicornycopia with new links and it has a very cool marquee webring now! unicornycopia.com ~ weeeEEEeeeeEEEeeee ~ (new links = the new playable essay) #GameDev

I need more of you to make websites so I can add more websites to my button wall!!!

This was so cool!!! So many hyperlinks 😂 The most interesting link I've glanced at so far is this hundred year host idea hundredyearhost.com I can't stress enough that you should learn html and css at the very least!! If you need help and we chat please hit me up and I'll help you!!!

this is my new thing. it’s another playable essay, but this time a browser game for desktop. it’s the web based spiritual successor to “individualism in the dead internet age”.

ok so I did have to write a post where I endlessly praise it. I loved it virtualmoose.org/2026/05/10/meanderware-thoughts/

yay this makes me happy 🎉💕 yes the hope is that people will find the empowering DIY internet links in here and make their own indie web stuff. ((all it takes to keep the dream alive is to know that the internet can be as weird and wonderful as ever + it’s easy to participate!))

Really think more folks should check out this interactive essay, especially those that are interested in discussions about the internet and IndieWeb

Nothing has ever been more laser targeted towards my interests lol
