I now believe the defining quality of a roguelike is to degrade the definition of a roguelike

Had a blast working on this, very self-indulgent piece 🙏

From the Almanac; Since the New Year I've been pretty overcome, and the need to make art has been fraught with difficulty and sadness. It has been some time since I last felt so small and defeated. Work on the Almanac continues. Bit by bit. I beg your patience.

Posting this again to remind you you dont have to be an amazing artist to draw comics!

Do they understand how mad they sound? As if anyone has ever decided to cross the Channel in a small boat because, if they make it, they might get to take a free taxi to a doctor's appointment? "Pull factors" on steroids. www.bbc.com/news/article...

"With golden hand you built, you raised, alongside humankind redeemed, A city wrought for hope and joy as none have ever dreamed." –Excerpt from "Threnody for Elysium"

The best way of describing someone who’s all talk and no action that I’ve ever heard in the UK, by far, is “they’re all wardrobe and no Narnia.” * read on for fun ways of saying “all talk and no action” in other languages (a thread)

Okay, here's the story of George de Hevesy vs the Nazis! I really do love telling this story. First, some background: George de Hevesy was a Hungarian-Jewish chemist, but he spent most of his career post-1920 attached to the Niels Bohr institute at the University of Copenhagen, in Denmark. (1/n)

It's Thinky Awards season! The fine folks at @thinkygames.com invited me to be a juror again, so here's my brief impressions of all the nominees I played. There are a few days left in the Steam winter sale and many of these are discounted, so check them out! A 🧵 david.reviews/articles/thi...

This is such a phenomenally beautiful film (it doesn't seem to be streaming anywhere right now, but it pops up on prime from time to time, and is available on dvd. You should watch it, and if you have a youngster, you should watch it with them!). Such a treat to see this process.

Getting nearer to unveiling my #pixelart secret santa piece for this year 🤫 In the meantime here's what 2022, 23 and 24 looked like!

Been a long time since I watched this but it was just beautiful. I think a rewatch is in order!

It's been another year packed with excellent thinky games! Team Thinky reflect on their favourite games from the past twelve months✨

Awesome - Woodworm has been released commercially! The original free version was an ingenious little thing and much harder than you'd expect. store.steampowered.com/app/3404590/...

I wasn't originally going to let penguins jump at all in this game, but ever since Nintendo invented the ability to jump for Metroid Prime 4, I added it just for fun. But now that I have it, I'm just finding excuses everywhere to use it. 🤣🐧🦘 #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

"You got the six-letter word HOUSES? Nice, have six points. You got the six-letter word ZYGOTE? Nice, have six points. Oh, you sweated over it? Nice, have six points. You think you deserve more? Nice, have six points." I wrote about my current daily crush, DAVE'S WORD GAME: www.electrondance.co...

I don't know whether I'm more annoyed that I can't use this word or I can use American spellings to include the Z where it wouldn't be present in British spelling! Like 'erased' or anything with -ise at the end! That's another cognitive leap :D @will.bearwaves.com

Alright, it's time to ruin your holiday budget! It's big sales recommendation thread time! I'll be updating intermittently, so check back. This year has had some ups and downs. Income isn't awful, but less stable. If you want to support my work, tips always go to buying more indie games to research

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier. Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/conc...

🚨 The UK government just published a breakdown of the responses to its consultation on AI & copyright: - 95% of respondents want AI companies to pay for their training data (made up of 88% saying strengthen copyright law, & 7% saying leave it as is) 🧵 1/2

Bet. First, I'm gonna cheat and get four games from Enigma Studio because I really want to get around to talking about them and i haven't yet. First, play The Enigma Machine. It's a short (~1-2 hour) horror game about managing an AI's dreams.

Well this sucks, what the fuck, letters Dave's Word Game coming soon from @bearwaves.com - find words, get high score from line/block clearing. As much about geometry and planning ahead as word searching.

Now I feel bad for uninstalling Windows Solitaire only yesterday. Unless that too has these wretched 'progression' systems now.
