The Low Poly Rat Jam is now complete! If you are reading this, that means you can go and play TWENTY-TWO RAT GAMES right NOW! Go! Go! Go! itch.io/jam/low-poly... #ratjam

I made a stupid game about rewilding for the @igdaclimatesig.bsky.social REGENERATE Game Jam this weekend. You can check it out here: alexorkid.itch.io/gaia-with-a-... 🔫🌳🌷

Another long AFL season ahead for Bombers supporters 🥺

// redux / post-mortem // @mattpaquin.online decided my video needed SFX, and i couldn't agree more. i re-added one of my little tunes for fun. #picoCAD2 #SFX #lowpoly

Released a cool new thing for writing story games! It's called vella: jonah-srg.itch.io/vella Designed to be the easiest possible way to write a branching story game, playable in your terminal. If you've ever felt intimidated by all the tools out there for writing story games, this is for you.

Vactics is half off for the Steam Spring Sale. I’m discounting it even though it’s autumn here. You should give it a look see if tactics games tickle your fancy. store.steampowered.com/app/1938290/...

Anyway, I think one of the smartest decisions you can make this year is to buy an EV or an Ebike – and buy it sooner rather than later. If you want to get around, fossil fuels are no longer your friend. Electricity doesn't pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Starter Kit Match-3 for @godotengine.org is out now! It's a basic open-source implementation of the popular puzzle game type, perfect as a base. #gamedev github.com/KenneyNL/Sta...

We're looking for someone to work with us! Reposts appreciated <3

Yes indies, that group with resources to spare to spend on being locked into these “services” forever

I’ve been using Raindrop for a short while now across my phone and desktop and it’s really good. Simple syncing across devices even on the free tier too. Would recommend. raindrop.io

It's a great pleasure to announce #Pico8 Compilation on #Steam, in collaboration with @finjico.bsky.social @elastiskalinjen.bsky.social and @johanpeitz.com store.steampowered.com/bundle/67391... Hundreds hours of fun at your fingertips !

@johanpeitz.com Hey I noticed on this warning on the Steam page for picoCAD 2. It's an annoying behaviour on the Steam backend even when a modern MacOS app is uploaded. I'm pretty sure the fix is Edit Steamworks Settings -> Application tab where you can enable the MacOS operating system in use.

🎉 picoCAD 2 is out! 🥳 Model, texture, and animate - in a single lo-fi, easy to use package.  GIF, GLTF, OBJ, and sprite sheet export.  Available now on Steam and Itch! Check it out! picocad.net Thanks for boosting! ❤️ 🙏

Game Pile #10 gamepile.beehiiv.com/p/game-pile-10

I've got a new Game Pile post in the works - and moving forward it will be on beehiiv as I needed to shift away from Substack. gamepile.beehiiv.com

Meanwhile I’m looking up how to put Linux on a Chromebook to do #pico8 dev on the go.

Aspiring to photorealism in games has always been a bad idea.

I've written a book! Next Level: Making Games That Make Themselves is the story of procedural generation - the tech behind games like Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress. It's about how it works, the games that use it, and the art and magic behind it. Out May 7th, in bookshops: linktr.ee/next_level 🎲🔮

Gonna hold on to this croissant metaphor for the rest of my creative life

I want to introduce you all to something myself and @jacksonwryan.com have been working on. A PRINT MAGAZINE about video games and video game culture. We know things have been bad for games writing recently. We're asking, "do you want to Continue?" www.kickstarter.com/projects/con...

We worked on this quietly for 3 years with our heads down. Now you can play it for free. Our goal is monthly updates going forward. store.steampowered.com/app/1397790/...

4 day offline ahead for me. Bliss.

Thinking about playing through Rain World again. It is not for everyone but if it hits for you, it is sublime.

Just your regularly scheduled share of this masterpiece by @tomgauld.bsky.social

Fly through of part of a Keeper level directly in the Unreal Engine editor. Part way through I turn on all of the game objects the player doesn't see -- it takes a lot to make games work.

I’ve seen two demos that are very polished but are just Balatro pretenders. I think they are well made but only act to remind me that I could just play Balatro.

It's crazy how almost every game I'm seeing in the next fest fits into one of like five genres. And three of those genres are roguelikes of some description.

I think it would genuinely break the brains of a lot of people on this site if you told them that sometimes people make art for fun and have no intention of it being a side hustle or day job

Goes hard. I can still feel the beige computer I played this on.

A Life With Games An interactive journal made with wareware Available now - playable anywhere thelemurconspiracy.itch.io/alifewithgames

Here are some rooms from my next wareware project. I’ve been trying out the idea of using it to built an interactive journal. Sticking to Creative Commons assets too to speed things up.

📣 Phonopolis Demo arrives on Steam tomorrow!

Sora 2 apparently cost something like $5 billion to run every year and so far made OpenAI around $1.4 million.

Cairn is a good game. The mechanics make me want to keep playing after hitting credits. The set pieces and creative flourishes were really welcome additions towards the climax of the story.

Paper Apps for Two? It isn't a dream, it's GOLF XL. Launching today. Makes a great Valentine's gift. 🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♀️ gladdendesign.com/products/pap...

I made a filterlist for uBlock Origin to remove Generative AI features on websites. Includes blocks for * Google AI Summaries * YouTube Ask button & chat summaries * GitHub Copilot * Facebook AI chat * X's Grok buttons * Deviantart DreamUp * Booru AI images * And more github.com/Stevoisiak/S...

I kinda need some more lovely games people to follow. Any recommendations?

Catherine O’Hara was the Catherine O’Hara of comedy

綺麗に裏写りしましたね

They said all the best things. What a gift Catherine O’hara was.

The fantasy world that the AI companies are trying to sell is one that was imagined in the fictions of the creatives they are screwing. The tech industry is not even capable of inventing an idea of the future it wants to bring about.

Very excited for the release of Cairn today.

I started making games at age 48, and finally finished and released one late last year. I think it's a fun action game, but it hasn't reached the point where many people have noticed it yet. I'd be really happy if you could help spread the word! #10dash #steam store.steampowered.com/app/3322940/
