look. i have crippling adhd. i did a whole game about it. so trust me when i tell you that you need to learn how to slow down and not have things fed to you. being bored is valuable, sometimes. it can force you to pay attention and sit discomfortably.

"What troubles you Theseus?" "Oh I'm thinking about all the things we've seen and experienced, and how they've changed us. I worry — are we truly still the same men who hunted the Calydonian Boar together so long ago? The same men who..." Pirithous stepped closer. "Perhaps this will convince you?"

NO i refuse to accept the relation-etymology it's so much better as a boat we are sending (shipping) characters on a voyage! a cruise! a journey of unrealistic and improbable passion!

Heh.

How did they do this on a PS2. It felt like the future at the time and in so many ways it still does now

A number of responses to this wishing they would make a sequel?? I dunno how to tell you this lads but they did. They made it ten years ago. It's called The Last Guardian. Also a technical and artistic marvel. Also one of the best games ever made. Anyway Sony killed the studio that made it.

Russian translation for this screen was "tea player's turn", and I think that's beautiful

Elden Ring is about having a beautiful dream that you're Welsh. Bloodborne is about waking up in England.

Speaking of The Knightling... We couldn't afford to spend our entire dev budget on a trailer at THAT award show, but you can see it on Steam! And I'm so chuffed that even though this game is CRIMINALLY overlooked, 100% of our recent reviews were positive! 🛡️ store.steampowered.com/app/1471650/...

As a fellow #TeaseYaGame misser with a turn-based game — very relatable

Spotted this nasty bugger in my library the other night.

Am I late for #TeaseYaGame? We are a story-driven game about a murder at a university, girlhood, and myths, and our loop is like Persona meets Expedition 33's dynamic combat!

I made some magical soup: a warm bowl transported me in time and space from writing emails at the desktop onto the couch, two hours ahead

Fun fact: you can automatically generate esoteric texts by machine translating Arabic Wikipedia pages on grammatical terms.

For yrs I've pondered a paradox: 1) The fact that crunch is poisonous to creative work 2) The fact that many of my favorite games were made with crunch My answer: Crunch allows a team to naively reach a crucial creative state, at high personal cost. It can be reached w/o crunch #GameDesign🧵
