Good weekend all, I’m trying to compile a list of (short, like SHORT short) first person/3D art games, ideally with land art or megaliths or otherwise cool landscape stuff. Any and all suggestions very welcome.

Smaller! Make all the games smaller!

Shareware game Mega Peril Snake (1996) by Digital Sheep/Beau Chesluk (a programmer on Perfect Dark (2000)). Features distinctive burp/belch sound effects when eating the animated abstract shapes, and a child's voice saying "have a good day!" when you exit. On "Galaxy of Games: Arcade Action" CD

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month. Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

Haven't read this yet but syslbnth's Yu-No essay is one of my all-timer pieces of games writing so I'm sure this is also good: syslbnth.neocities.org/htxt/cave-st...

hey y'all, I'm collecting feedback about bitsy's exits and endings features (I'm looking into updating them in the next bitsy version) if you have a few minutes to fill out a short survey, I'd really appreciate it! forms.gle/TM8U4dkggJoh...

I took a Bitsy game I never finished, about a maple syrup heist, and turned it into a poetic memoir about finishing things, for a @gamepoems.bsky.social submission. I'm told it will be shared this weekend at the Winchester Poetry Festival in the UK, which I'm excited about. Takes ~5 mins to play.

this looks super rad :D

I'm excited to announce I'm going to be running a four-week remote workshop on creating interactive fiction with #bitsy starting at the end of September! Games created in the workshop will be featured in an exhibition at Accent Sisters in New York, with whom I'm partnering on this project!

for the next couple weeks i'll be posting exercises from my old narrative design class every day. i used #bitsy by @adamledoux.net, so these are all bitsy files that can be imported into the bitsy editor, along with posts describing guidelines and objectives.

just saw someone do a visuals set by making a scene in Bitsy. little castle of blood for some live coded metal. (cc @adamledoux.net)

Before The Office actors rarely looked into the camera. This is because they were afraid of them. Yet by the time The Office began, most Americans had enough exposure to cameras throughout their lives to recognize them as useful domestically for their tendency to hunt mice near grain stores
