Folks, our Makeship campaign for Calicorn plushies is SO CLOSE to being fully funded 🥹🙏💖

i am going completely insane watching gamers make up shit about horses and interrogating every single thing the devs have said for inconsistencies and then deciding well it probably had cp in it. this is the easy mode version of the kinds of censorship that are to come and you're failing like babies

We're on a call and laughing out loud at @exalclaw.bsky.social 's write-up of Scrabdackle Thank you for the review and sorry again about the Duck Knight 😬 🦆⚔️ PS. @jakefriend.bsky.social is on the call too, and they say they *aren't* sorry

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Also. Small side note. When @halo.gg decides to show Master Chief’s face, it has to be Marcus Lehto right? Right. Ok. Carry on! Always Forward. Forward Unto Dawn.

There is no way you can guess how the thread that ends in this instant classic begins.

I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw. ( Also a good excuse for an #art study )

Yeah, I'm calling bullshit on layoffs and cost cutting being the result of AI adoption. A recession is coming, & these companies know it

A topic near and dear to my heart. www.gamedeveloper.com/production/h... #gamedev #indiedev

A truly unique, special, incredible experience. I’m going to be playing ARC Raiders for a long time. I have never had a game imprint on me with such unforgettable, organic, emergent gameplay. Holy shit.

A terrible thing about the internet is you can watch a guy's Mario Kart 64 videos and go "Yeah this is kinda neat" and then one morning you wake up and find out the guy has made a blog post along the lines of "Black people prove phrenology is not only real but necessary"

Whooooaaaa…it’s really happening…

📢 We're reopening creator keys requests for our older games! As part of our legacy games celebration, we've got fresh batches of Steam keys for several older titles. If you're a content creator who would like to showcase one of our games, details on how to get keys are below!

Just a reminder that Clair Obscur was caught doing almost exactly the same thing FIRST (launching with some AI 'placeholder' textures that got patched) and yet somehow caught like a tenth of the flak. Making an example of one while smiling and shrugging for the critical darling sits wrong with me.

🗣️ Release date announcement!!! My Citizen Sleeper inspired antifascist RPG DUSKPUNK is out Nov 19th. Survive on the streets of a Steampunk city consumed by war. Fate hangs in a roll of the dice. Will you join the ranks of the powerful… or become part of the revolution? youtu.be/q2P4ruI8FPU

The Trump Halo memes aren't supposed to make sense aftermath.site/trump-halo-twi...

Not sure how to sum this one up. Ramblings…anger at reality…describing the active enshittification of something? One of those.

Ah, the demo's live for In The Black - a very Expanse-inspired space combat sim. I figure a few of you might be interested in that!

We took a break from krumpin' last week but we'z back for a mega session! 4 hours of community dakka, krumps an' talk about the new stuff coming to @speedfreeks40k in Orktober including da Deffkopta 💥 Krump wiv us on twitch now! twitch.tv/wiredp

“Add to the mix an absolutely blistering score by Nine Inch Nails and Tron: Ares stands out as one of those sci-fi experiences people will return to again and again over the next ten years.” Hey…uhm…guys. This movie rules.

ok it’s time

So BioWare needs to finish Mass Effect by end of 2026 and then promptly resign. Thats the Paragon action.

Have you given our making-of documentary a watch yet? 👀 bsky.app/profile/okom...

@osamadorias.bsky.social taught me the fundamentals of this some time ago and the very next visual I made was so good and useful that we ended up converting it into an in-engine overlay for use with our dev tools Highly recommended reading ⏬

Fun fact, my story contribution to this anthology “AEON” is built off of an abandoned game idea that formed the a tiny part of the basis of Citizen Sleeper including the name (“Aeon Sleeper”) If that kind of deep cut sounds interesting, back this book! 👇

If You're Not Shidding and Farding Out Your Doodoo Ass, You're Not Paying Attention

Quick heads-up: presskit() has been updated. Patch-notes are very short. - Fixed a few minor bugs. - Removed all functionality depending on discontinued applications ( distribute(), promoterapp ) - Now uses https exclusively. If you want to update: dopresskit.com - fully backwards-compatible.

You cannot understand politics in the United States in 2025 without understanding Gamergate. It is the Rosetta Stone for our current nightmare.

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

The one time we got the smoking gun of undeniable ideology that mapped neatly onto american partisanship in political violence was J6, and we decided it was too scary to treat it as such, so now we return to deciphering memes of school shooters like medieval peasants panicking at an eclipse.

All I saw was cheesecake boat and ocean for at least 5 minutes

We've teamed up with @saltstonestudios.bsky.social to announce The Hearth & Harbour, set in the world of The Pale Beyond 🎉 Lead a rundown restaurant in this narrative adventure, using food to create bonds that will impact your customers, and the city at large 🤝 🍽️ bit.ly/HearthHarbou...

They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains.

I’m sorry but let me unbury this lede: *the genAI industry is literally the financial engine that is powering the fascist regime in the United States* I hadn’t even made this connection and now I’m even more horrified by this tech than I have ever been. Boosterism == fascism, literally

Come listen to me yammer on about the new episode of A Life Well Wasted, the future of the show, and the other thing I’m working on.

It's been a while. Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs. store.steampowered.com/app/2396130/...

Moving straight through. #3

If you see this, post a monster

Knocking out two waves at once. #4

Counting down the last smokes I have. Making a game out of it, because I consistently finish those and have a completionist mindset. So here goes. Let’s beat this fucking boss. Smoking #5 now.

Started this game late last night and already one of my Calicorns got hurt...I know this game is gonna wound me...cant wait!

To celebrate the release of Herdling, we've put together a bundle of all Okomotive games with some very attractive discounts, check it out! 🥰 store.steampowered.com/bundle/58145...

The state police killed the Ferguson protest activist leaders. Every big photo you see of the protests where there's a black activist on the front lines - those activists were murdered later. This is Edward Crawford. He was murdered after this was taken. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Revisiting The Door Problem With Liz England - Game Developer Podcast Ep. 53

Having a lot of conversations recently about @playrematch.com and it’s being a footballer sim and not a football sim. It fundamentally changes the way I approach it as a game. I wonder if @robzacny.bsky.social or @cado.bsky.social or @gameonysus.bsky.social have any opinions after their stream.

We’ve published our second Mini Dev Update! This one’s about volley priorities and the current meta. Read more here: www.playrematch.com/post/mini-de...

the thing about "just make it exist, make it good later" is that unfortunately three key challenges in game development are 1. deciding what should exist 2. deciding when to make things good 3. deciding what 'good' means

This is perfection. Even better with sound.

i've written a dozen articles about this but vonnegut cuts to the heart of it
