Had a blast at the showcase last night! We're actually starting another jam on Thursday for TABLETOP stuff if you wanna join in 😍 Meeting up in SE for the kickoff, and we're planning some big stuff for the showcase! pigsquad.com/events-list/...

Come play my typing game!

Ah, right. Now begins the week of "oops it's midnight!"

It is a minor miracle that I did NOT buy a classical bust side table and a bunch of small mirror tiles today I mean listen, Disco David would be a great addition to my living room, but maybe I should start with a smaller disco-fication project to learn the technique

#FROSTFATALES 2026 STARTS TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛 (P.S. Don't forget to adjust your clocks 😉) gdq.gg/schedule

I built my most recent jam game in React, for the web browser. I wrote up some notes about how I structured it and what I learned here: nextlevelbanana.com/blog/making-...

You're gonna wanna get in on this

I wrote up a bit about the two (!) alt controllers I made for this game jam: one looks like a keyboard but is actually a tilt controlled WASD pad; the other one looks like 5 toggle switches but actually is a keyboard. Sort of. nextlevelbanana.com/blog/two-new...

We'll be at GDC! (Some of us, and probably some of you?) Come hang out, say hi, and chat about roguelikes & procedural generation. # In Yerba Buena Gardens (North corner). > At 12:30 PM, Thursday, March 12. % With coffee, various hot teas, bagels & spreads.

Everyone's submitting their games to the Build Your Own Game Jam! We're doing a showcase for them in NW Portland next week Monday if you want to come by, and you can play them online, too! itch.io/jam/byogamej...

I made an alt-control typing game! Toggle 5 switches to talk to an old mainframe 1 character at a time. Also playable with a normal keyboard if you don't have an NLB/9 terminal at home. Be sure to download the PDF, you'll be lost without it. nextlevelbanana.itch.io/nuclear-logi...

It is the 7DRL Challenge, my dudes. itch.io/jam/7drl-cha...

Making sure all the paths lead somewhere. My jam game has seven endings

Went and saw Iron Lung and I'm sure I'll have nightmares tonight (complimentary) Being an existential horror fan is so silly. The better a work is, the more it messes you up. Why am I like this

I'm writing my jam game as a web game, using HTML/CSS/JS (React). I can't get over how effective this super lazy "CRT effect" is. background: var(--black); text-shadow: -2px 0px 2px var(--pink), 2px 0px 2px var(--darker-cyan); color: var(--cyan); That's it!

I am also doing a solo jam project this week because I had this idea and now I have to see it through. Made this controller yesterday. You use it to "type", one character at a time.

The Build Your Own Game Jam has started and I just got the dumbest idea for our controller. Gonna try to shove an accelerometer into a keyboard, let's see if it works

See you tonight!

Is there a website or wiki somewhere that documents alt-control games?

Great catch—you're right, the pod bay doors are still closed! Thank you for pointing this out, and I apologize for the miscommunication. Let's go over what happened. Upon reviewing my previous responses, I realize that the discrepancy arose when I said I could open the pod bay doors. In fact...

Forgot to take a selfie, but I believe this state #8 in which I've used mass transit 🚍🚆🚇. Hard to beat a bus that goes directly from the airport to the hotel!

oh hey, shout out to the event photographers for capturing me in my natural habitat (the rhythm arcade)

✅ see Shovda make an impossible romhack look easy (and BeeKaay make an impossible romhack look hard) "So we're just gonna roll straight into Thumbshredder?" I laughed. I thought she was joking. But then Thumbshredder also demolished live in no time

#adgq2026 progress ✅watch a run live ✅play in the rhythm arcade ✅play pinball in the other arcade ✅play a local indie game ✅buy merch from The Yetee ✅awkwardly greet a streamer I recognize ✅get spotted on stream

Let's goooooo (to bed because I only got three hours of sleep before my flight)

"Oh, so this is a Perler bead emergency." The craft store owner nodded knowingly.

Dang, now this is transit advocacy. We gotta make one of these for PRGE
