MUKKE is out today! It's a genuinely cool game/music making machine with a hyper-local Berlin focus, meaning it's unlike anything else in your Steam library. I play your emotionally disturbed protagonist!

Hey, whatever gets us off social media entirely so that we can focus our efforts and our angst within our spheres of control is a-okay with me!

My favorite character to write in Oh, Apollo is this guy — a philosopher who uses complex reasoning to get out of doing any work. Starting with Zeno's paradox! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeno%27... But don't worry, the rest of the cast is weirdos too. 🥰

Let he who is without sin write the first bluesky post.

Don't be scared of therapy. It's just a video game; it can't hurt you! Today's the last day before Vampire Therapist goes back into the Steam not-on-sale vault, whither all video games are forgotten for a time. [insert buy now cta]

The HBO Harry Potter trailer should be put in a museum along with the Snow White remake trailer. They are both sterling examples of the early 21st century Nothingness aesthetic that cultural historians will write about some day. I'm just going to pretend it's 2120 already and be mystified.

We're really stoked about this! Little Bat Games has been doing the writing and narrative design on "Oh Apollo!", with @ecmsquared.bsky.social of Baldur's Gate 3 fame joining @ahoymehearties.bsky.social . If you're missing our brand of bold weirdo humor, you want to play this one!

This wonderful article by Andreas is a must-read if you enjoyed Hob's Barrow, do check it out! (Beware spoilers!!)

Someone asked me why I decided to leave AAA and go indie and I said: "I was tired of large corporations poorly paying and underappreciating me, so I decided to poorly pay and underappreciate me myself."

The only game where Matthew Mercer plays a sexy German goth and lets you bite his neck is on sale now. There will be no other video games where he plays a sexy German goth. This is it.⚰️ Buy it now! ⚰️ store.steampowered.com/bundle/50334...

Spring cleaning… but it’s your emotional baggage🌷 Vampire Therapist is on sale now on Steam!

Vampire Therapist Review #Xbox #XboxSeries #VampireTherapist  www.thexboxhub.com/vampire-ther...

I did a voiceover gig yesterday where I had to play a cool person who goes to clubs. Maybe they can fix it in post.

Nowruz is a holiday of renewal, of fresh starts, and second chances. The future of Iran is with its youth, not with the insecure, pathetic old men who fight them both within and without. Nowruz is not for them.

If you believe in liberal democracy and the rule of law, this game might bolster your belief. 🫂

If you're not Marc Andreessen, you might enjoy Vampire Therapist! If you *are* Marc Andreessen, please play Vampire Therapist. (it's on sale)

Vampire Therapist is a poignant exploration of what it means to truly live and a gentle reminder to keep our hearts and minds open to change — even when it feels scary. Our full review: retconmagazine.com/vampire-ther...

Tonight in Vienna! Met a familiar lady today for the Isabella d'Este fans. 😁

The sorts of people who destroy history (like the Taliban) are the sorts of people who would like their own history not to be examined. As an Iranian-American and a historian, fuck these people. People like me will write their histories, and we will not be kind.

Stoked to still be getting reviews this far along. 😌 We sought to make a long-tail game in a zero-day algorithm-driven sales environment, and somehow, we pulled it off.

Even last year I felt the cognitive dissonance of both "the games industry is okay" and "the United States is okay" at GDC. I hope everyone going keeps safe. I recommend deleting your apps and logging into your needed platforms via browser. It might help you detox from platforms as a bonus!

I'm going to Prague next week and I'm disappointed that there are no fried chicken joints near St. Vitus's cathedral. (It's a Catholicism joke)

I love it and when people make fun with my #oldmanyaoi 🥰 Yes i accept the tag.

You thought your Xbox was dead … but it was merely UNDEAD! ⚰️ Vampire Therapist lives on the Xbox right now. 😁

Tim Sweeney is a chode (he might even admit that himself), but it was valuable to have someone challenging the Apple, Google, and Steam platform monopolies. I guess this will cement Monopoly Go as the only mobile game allowed to make money.

elder millennial pc gamer sadly no DOS games made the cut, though Day of the Tentacle would be the first my9games.com

This is a dark sin of live service people forget in the moment. Imagine you're 10 years old and you have a formative experience playing a game, and then... it's gone. All those moments lost to executive greed, like tears in rain. At least Netflix shows can survive through piracy. No such luck here.

In Vienna? Come see me talk about the challenges and opportunity in developing games with educational benefits! I'll speak English because no one wants me speaking German. :)

Vampire Therapist is a steam daily deal today! And if you're too much of a bro for therapy, Bloodshed is on sale too. You shoot bad guys in it, and I wrote and performed lots of quips. (But seriously, therapy is good, bro.)

There's nothing quite as gratifying as passing the scrutiny of experts. ☺️

Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

Indiscriminately attacking a people to cause political discord is, *by definition,* terrorism.

I'm genuinely proud to have a DRM-free version of Vampire Therapist in its complete form out there. I'm not worried about pirates, who either can't or won't pay for a game anyway. This also keeps Vampire Therapist safe in case some of the content gets the game banned by authoritarians!

I haven't listened yet, but I'll roll the dice and repost anyway!

I'm not a console gamer any more since they stopped making Uncharted games... but it is pretty cool to see my game natively running on Nintendo hardware. ☺️

Jacob is a fuckin' weirdo. Play weirdo games (he said, self-servingly)

One thing I love about re-releasing my game is the men coming out to make "Vampire The Rapist" jokes. They're just so fuckin' smart and witty!

I know Hilltop Studios (of Lil Guardsman fame) is always going to do something no one else is doing. Keep a lookout for this one!

Not bad for our first console review. 😁 gamecritix.co.uk/vampire-ther...

This is a big moment! I never imagined I'd release a game that would be out on consoles, but here we are. I'd appreciate a little love and re-skeets if you're willing -- Vampire Therapist has changed my life but it's a tough sell of a game sometimes, therapy being a scary thing for many!

At last, justice prevails.

Finally, the one player who thinks Vampire Therapist wasn't vulgar enough!

I had a lot of *difficult* fun writing about revolutions and our roles in the resistance in this love-centered Vampire Therapist expansion. It might help you process, you know, all this. We make the art we need to make!

I am pretty stoked to still be getting into *print* in 2026. The kids may scoff at magazines but I still like journalists and layouts!

Heyyy, Mel, baby, nice bust!

I was always a PC kid, but I did have an NES as well, which was a pretty formative machine for me. It's pretty wild to me that I have a Nintendo game coming out next week! See, inner child? It was all worth it. www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

Discord's "server" based structure is actually really well suited to supporting instance-based open source alternatives. Remember open source? That was a cool time!

Ignorance is a curable condition. Maybe you were an enlightened baby, but most of us weren't. And if you think you're free from ignorance as an adult, baby, you are not.

Delighted to be sharing ink with the Kind Words gang. 🥰
