I will be on the internet today.

I just updated my 13 year old game... steamcommunity.com/games/502720...

#ScreenshotSaturday for the upcoming Star Explorers 6.0 release! I was able to fix some memory leaks and bugs, but I am bummed because I had to go back to my old color palette. The new one made the game unplayable... #SpaceSim #AlienPlanets #Dithering store.steampowered.com/news/app/502...

I have to say this is a very pretty game...

More of this please! 🙏

Can someone explain to me the reason for the existence of "Realtek?" Why is this company still around? What have they ever done that is not just awful and annoying?

I am almost ready to release Star Explorers version 6.0! I started this game 13 years ago and I still love working on it. It's still a janky mess in many ways, but it will always be my baby. #GameDev #MajorUpdate #Space store.steampowered.com/news/app/502...

I found a nice video about my game on YouTube! #CRPG #Streaming #GameDev youtu.be/mjQHV9gieAo?...

I had this crazy idea … hear me out. What if we had this group of people in the government that … I don’t know … represents? … is that the right word? Anyway they would present views of their voters or something crazy like that

I am getting close to a new color palette for Star Explorers. Ignoring the UI, I am really enjoying the stark contrasts and dithering here. #Gamedev #ColorPalette #Dither

I adjusted the dither effect in Star Explorers and I feel like it looks a lot better. There are the new screenshots... #GameDev #Shaders #Screenshots

I've updated the camera movement script for Islands of the Caliph too (as I did in Cyclopean). I tried to fix it before, but the player would sporadically spin around in the wrong direction :) #CRPG #OpenWorld #RPG #RamadanMubarak Read more here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/184...

There are some amazing, turn based games available! Don't miss it.

Cyclopean: The Great Abyss is now on sale as part of #TurnBasedThursdayFest! Check it out along with all the other cool games. #TurnBasedThurdsay #CRPG #Lovecaft #Dreamlands

rocket launcher + particles: check #indiedev #gamedev #3DGameStudio #AcknexEngine

I have reactivated the demo for Cyclopean II: The Dreamlands! I also introduced a new, more efficient camera movement script that does away with some of the sponginess of the original. #CRPG #Camera #Movement store.steampowered.com/news/app/399...

It's so good. I found two pieces of the amulet on my last play-through, and encountered the White Whale! The treasure maps are brilliant. #roguelike #7drl bsky.app/profile/jaco...

It's wonderful. I have been consistently impressed with Jacobs games. This one is no exception! #rogulike #pirates #yendor

Big news! Islands of the Caliph now has three new languages to choose from. I was recently able to add Indonesian, Spanish and Portuguese. #GameDev #Localization #Spanish #Indonesian #Portuguese store.steampowered.com/news/app/184...

My 9 games "to get to know me." You can do this at my9games.com Weirdly Capcom vs. SNK 2 wasn't in the database otherwise that would absolutely be in there. Yes I did in fact put something as recent as Cyclopean: The Great Abyss from @mkschmidt30.bsky.social in there. It is very precisely my jam.

Experimental 3D game with Apple II style shader. #AppleII #Hi-Res #GameDev

Wait ... Trump has hired gnomes?

Okay this is getting interesting...

Star Explorers - Apple II edition.

Random question: Is "All the travelers arrived, except their luggage." a valid sentence?

Releasing a very early demo of the game has resulted in a good many bug reports, but things are improving rapidly. This demo will definitely be coming down right after #NextFest, so if you want to try it, now it that time. #CRPG #Retrogaming #Dreamlands store.steampowered.com/news/app/399...

"I've fixed the full-screen fixed file" I just wrote these words.

Ruin interior for Cyclopean II: The Dreamlands. I originally had a different image that looked really poorly executed, then forgot about it. I spend a couple hours giving it some love.

Steam Next Fest is Live! I am streaming the game on Steam right now :) I am also terrible at it. #NextFest #LiveStreaming #CRPG store.steampowered.com/app/3998510/...

Someone's got their eye on you...

it is very compelling...

Uploaded a new trailer for Steam Next Fest! #CRPG #NextFest #Lovecraft youtu.be/AMAO85LcG2c

Update with some bug fixes. I am feeling more confident that the demo is ready for Next Fest ... but who can really say? #CRPG #NEXTFEST #RETROGAMING store.steampowered.com/news/app/399...

Another update for Cyclopean II: The Dreamlands! Now bribing folks gives you access to trade, inquiries and other functions. Essentially this allows a kind of "dialogue build" as opposed to combat and/or stealth. store.steampowered.com/news/app/399...

Ramadan is the “Dark Souls” of religious holidays #RamadanMubarak

Pretty big update for Cyclopean II: The Dreamlands. I have introduced a new game mechanic which provides a whole different kind of approach. #Bribery #CRPG #Retrogaming store.steampowered.com/news/app/399...

Maybe the demo is not ready for Next Fest... #NextFest #Demo #GameDev

STALKER 2 looking nice...

The Isle of Oriab is populated by more than just monsters. The city of Barharna has a population of humans, some cats and zebras roam the grassy plains outside of town... #ScreenshotSaturday #CRPG #Dreamlands

In many ways STALKER games have become (for me) more about visiting places and enjoying the aesthetics, than about combat, narrative etc... #STALKER #TheZone

Lots of bugs fixed in the DEMO for Cyclopean II. Quality has been upgraded from shoddy to fair. #SteamNextFest #CRPG #Retrogaming store.steampowered.com/news/app/399...

A shoddy demo of Cyclopean II is up on Steam as I prepare for Next Fest. #NextFest #CRPG #Retrogaming store.steampowered.com/news/app/399...

This looks like an epic encounter. There is something special about graphics that look great, but leave enough room for the imagination to run off on its own a bit.

One of the things I love about STALKER 2, and the series in general, is being able to revisit locations from the original game. In a way, the locations become characters in the story, and acquire a legendary aspect. Here is the abandoned train depot which usually serves as a bandit hideout...

A new STALKER 2 screenshot for fun... #ScreenshotSaturday

Voonith - large, aggressive amphibians - are chasing me and scaring all the zebras. Eventually I had to intercede in one of their battles, as I felt responsible for the whole mess. #ScreenshotSaturday #CRPG #Zebras

I have added this new feature of showing enemies up close during encounters. But I forgot to make their regular sprite invisible, so it looks like there are two Voonith here, instead of just one. It scared me for a moment because I thought they were multiplying! #ScreenshotSaturday #CRPG #GameDev

#TurnBasedThursday - I am making my first new dungeon (in color) for Cyclopean II: The Dreamlands. #CRPG #Lovecraft

@ccinemapodcast.bsky.social Just saw this because it was leaving Netflix (which is a whole other discussion). I was surprised how it felt like a disaster movie, but before all the disaster movie tropes and expectations had been established.

New STALKER 2 Screenshot for you...
