Sometimes you'll even get one of these

After ruminating on this for a couple days I've come to the conclusion that I should just remind myself more that games are allowed to be games for the sake of being silly games.

A puzzle game came out this year that everyone adores (100% positive on steam) but I find really boring. I don't want to be the first to leave a negative review, but I want to explain why I dislike the game *somewhere*, because I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when I see the reviews.

Remakes, remasters, and boycotts on the latest edition of Morning Checkpoint: https://kotaku.com/tga-game-awards-goty-puzzle-mimesis-poe-2000640780

I've not been consistent with sharing progress lately, half due to avoiding spoilers, half due to introverted laziness. Maybe some day I will post cool clips again.

I've officially been working on A Little Perspective for 2 years. Been watching a few people playtest the full game, and there's feedback to address, but a lot of the cool moments of the game are getting the reactions I've been hoping for. Getting close, just a matter of closing things out now!

... we don't have backups?

Guys I want to redesign the hub a third time

I can tell the game is getting close to being done because I'm starting to write code that looks like this

Guys!! Media Molecule is hiring a stylised environment artist! Come work with me! www.mediamolecule.com/jobs/senior-...

Good news: I've sent out the full version of A Little Perspective to a few friends to playtest! Bad news: I already feel compelled to redesign the entire overworld, don't let me do it

A Little Perspective was in Gamer Social Club's top 5 at #PlayNYC 👀 I think it's because @cybrlich.bsky.social was our neighbor and the awesomeness overflowed into our booth.

Late-night sunday side quest complete :)

#PlayNYC2025 was fun. My feet hurt from standing 12 hours a day and my social battery is at -300%. But it was fun. Final stats for A Little Perspective: 290 people played the demo (2 of them were Hatsune Miku) 30 people reached the end 1 person beat one of the secret levels 😮

#PlayNYC2025 starts today! Come find our very home-made looking booth 😄

I am back from a real nice vacation, time to immediately throw myself into expo prep mode + making 2 games at the same time again

I'm 4 followers away from 9000, let's try something new. Reply with your trailer and I'll reply with 1 thing I think could be fixed or improved. (if this gets lots of attention I reserve the right to stop at any time 😅)

Going to be showing A Little Perspective at #PlayNYC2025 later this month! Come by and play the demo/say hi :)

Had a fun bug today where my game's background got replaced by the steam overlay

An extremely interesting game was just released called 0PLAYER by Katelyn Delta. It's a huge unresponsive .webp wallpaper map of puzzles that doesn't really tell you how it's played. I playtested some of it and it was crazy. Go take a look. caveadventure.itch.io/0player

Hi, realized I haven't posted about A Little Perspective in a while. I've been working on it! Just focusing on some spoilery endgame things recently and thus haven't had much to share. The game is playable to the end now, so that's cool - though there's still lots to go back and improve.

An underrated part of the creative process is running into a problem, thinking about it a little, and then just… waiting, and coming back to it every so often. Letting it percolate. Works surprisingly well

i hate how much the minecraft movie made me laugh

#3.- A little perspective [block rolling/sokoban] by @rbdjellyfish.bsky.social · "A mesmerizing challenge" is what I think of ALP. Shift perspective to your advantage and reach unexpected places. Find it here 👇 store.steampowered.com/app/3485300/... and my gameplay here 👇 youtu.be/9Q2y-E42MCk

This game is a lot more clever than it looks. Monument valley tricked me into thinking perspective games had run out of tricks; this game is only just getting started. Also a deliciously interwoven hub area. Eagerly waiting for more.

Work is often kind of a rollercoaster, which I think is the nature of creative work, but the last couple weeks have been really inspiring and good. Mm rocks.

With the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase done and Next Fest coming to a close, I'm looking forward to returning to heads-down dev mode on A Little Perspective instead of worrying so much about demos and wishlist numbers :) That time will come again, but for now I can just focus on making a cool game.

Do the people who post these kinds of things actually do this?

Might be the most hidden gem in that list! If you have a PS4 and Dreams or you can get access to it, LOCK is an absolute *must play* for folks that have been enjoying Blue Prince.

I keep adding content to my demo, someone stop me before I release my whole game for free.

this was a great 30min demo to play w my husband. would recommend

Had a weird platform-specific graphics bug I was putting off and finally had the motivation to tackle today. Couldn't reproduce it. Fixed by an OS update. 🙃 Procrastination really does solve your problems sometimes I guess.

This is what I wanted from Blue Prince but I've already played Myst, now what

It's rare that I see an entry-level writing job in games so I wanted to share that Media Molecule is hiring a writer. www.brightnetwork.co.uk/graduate-job... On site in Guildford.

My wife has a "diary" discord server that we're both in (we use it as a way of keeping each other in the loop on things we don't want/expect each other to respond to). Occasionally she'll randomly post something like this in it that improves my whole day.

Steam's box-pushing fest starts today! Sadly Valve does not think A Little Perspective is enough of a sokoban to participate. Oh well. Will drop the demo another day! #indiegames #puzzle

1000 wishlists crossed 🙌 and only 3 weeks since the announcement! This is a lot more than I would have expected from just shouting into the social media void. Thanks everyone who has shown support thus far! Still working on polishing up that demo 🙂

With perspective-based traversal comes perspective-based obstruction. 🟥👁 #indiegames #puzzle
