I didn't know about the "Targ" and "Spectar" arcades until I saw Speglar compared with them in this writeup: arcadeheroes.com/2025/07/24/i... Between the name similarities and the maze/grid shooter setup it looks like I've made an unintentional homage!

One of my goals for my block puzzler was to allow a very high APM for skilled players. Dialing the action delay down to almost nothing for my attract mode CPU makes me think I may have succeeded

My doom metal/ritual sacrifice themed block puzzler is slowly coming along! #indiedev #indiegame #doommetal #GodotEngine

The Nightmare is alive in Brooklyn! We're excited to announce that, after our launch party at Hex House with @b0tster.yeag.gay , The Nightmare Kart will find its home at none other than @wonderville.nyc for its sixth birthday on June 6th! Plus, a sneak peek render before you see the real thing 😉

I'm making a bunch of code I use in my games publicly available. Lots of good stuff like 2d drop shadows, pseudo 3d effects, vfx, npc vision, IK, save system, level system etc. #godotengine github.com/Miziziziz/Mi...

Great vibes at the @wonderville.nyc playtest night once again. Works so well as a mini deadline and for course correcting your game. Definitely getting happier and happier with how my little block puzzler is turning out

I built a Playstacean!

Build a #3DPrinted macrodata refinement terminal inspired by Severance using a Raspberry Pi 5, touch screen and #Adafruit haptic motor driver. learn.adafruit.com/portable-mac...

Our crew worked around the clock to pull off a hell of a MAGFest in Jan., and we're spooling back up after some necessary R&R! It's high time we updated the community, and intro'd ourselves to many new faces. First, Coming Soon! Your opportunity to Step Up to the Contraption:

Huge Brooklyn W: Desert Island is BACK at a new location (by Metropolitan and the BQE)

Interesting and inspiring read! I especially like the tidbits about how little mechanics and other touches came about (LocalThunk hated the iconic flame effect when it was suggested but realized it _had_ to be in there once tested). The parts about stress and its effects are pretty sobering as well

Great breakdown of how the "WoeMeter" from the latest Severance episode was built: make3.co/work/woemeter @adafruit.com ESP32-S3 Feather spotted!

The puzzle games naturally gravitated towards each other at the Wonderville playtest night yesterday

This is so cool! Feels very #WordHack coded @wonderville.nyc @depthsofwikipedia.bsky.social

The @magfest.org Steam curator page is so good for finding that one game you played at Mag at 4am but can’t remember the name of store.steampowered.com/curator/4537...

Finally it's here... How to make 3D Games in Godot! 🌟 youtu.be/ke5KpqcoiIU #GodotEngine

You could be the next featured pico-8 developer to be on our custom pico-8 cabinet! submit your game to tinyurl.com/Pico8CabinetSubmission by Feb 23, 11:59pm EST Don't have a pico-8 game? send this to your friends who do! Chosen game will be up in our arcade from March 1 - June 1 #pico8

Thanks to everyone that played Speglar at MAGFest! And a belated congratulations to @organzola.games for clutching out _another _ Speglar tournament win 🥇 Also a huge shoutout to @arcadecommons.org for bringing the game to MAG and for the excellent tournament MC:ing.

The “oops all rock” strategy did not work out in this Rock, Paper, Secrets round

Pun-based praise, the highest honor (thanks for playing and glad you liked it!)

more like rock paper peakrets

Going back for round 3, I didn't hear no bell

You better believe we went back for more before bed

This game! It's so cool might be my favorite so far in that area

There's only 5 more days to apply for the Wondercab Spring 2025 residency! Get your game featured on an arcade cabinet for three months! Deadline to submit is Jan 31st Apply at the link below: tinyurl.com/WondercabApp...

“I’m tired, boss”

And last but certainly not least, we are thrilled to reveal the preview of the completed Nightmare Kart build! We put everything we have into this cab, and we can't wait to show it to you! Come see it at the panel with @b0tster.yeag.gay , then it'll be on the show floor!

Having so much fun at @magfest.org @mag-indiearcade.bsky.social watching people play my new auto-battler Rock, Paper, Secrets (which uses mechanized curtains to hide/show state). Special thanks to @kleeb.bsky.social for all the mechanics help and @sadlilrobot.bsky.social for the beautiful curtains!

The hits keep on coming - you know 'em, you love 'em, Tournament staples Speglar, Super Sharp Birds, and Nothing Good Can Come Of This will return, alongside a new and improved Dyebreaker! This game was previewed at MAGFest 2024, and now you can play the finished version!
