To all my followers

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers

Anyone else hold their mugs like this? Wondering if this is an “elephant path” but for mugs

Hi new followers! I'm Nathan, I'm making a new action-platformer called ChainStaff. You get to shoot, but you also get swing and spear baddies! store.steampowered.com/app/2976260/... If it looks cool, please wishlist it on Steam.

Hell yeah!

Thank you to everyone that came out to MAGFest and played the demo and posed with the giant ChainStaff!

I have several spare Famitsu issues that I don't need I've acquired over the years from random lots. There are more than what's pictured. I'd like to get rid of them and get them to a good home. $10 for a random issue each plus shipping. Just DM me if interested! Thanks.

Keep hearing devs say that they only use ai for "pre-concept art" There is no pre-concept art. There is concept art. That's where the idea starts. With the concept. You're using ai for concept art.

Another was our other neighbor ChainStaff!! A fine-tuned run-and-gun using unique swinging movement mechanics with fantastic visual design and some great tongue-in-cheek, gruesome sci-fi satire that I love so much. Very friendly neighbor in @mommysbestgames.bsky.social !

MAGFest day 3 lets goooo

Plant Daddy loved ChainStaff

I’m here in the indie hall come out and say hi!

Really happy how the thumbnail turned out on this one. :D Check out how I made my life-sized ChainStaff! All hand-made, not 3d-printed, and super cheaply produced! youtu.be/P3p8pnvC9mk

Game sale numbers after steam winter sale is over

MAGFest starts tomorrow! For the ChainStaff build I added red cellophane to make the cool veins and flesh parts. Then I kept sculpting out of Styrofoam all kinds of bone nuggets to make it look cooler. I painted with exterior acrylic latex two coats.

MAGFest starts in two days! Here’s more progress photos of how I built the real life ChainStaff. It was tricky to figure out the shape of the spearhead. and the vertebrae knobs started out, square, but I used a super sharp X-Acto knife to carve them into more natural shapes.

Gaming friends I have hand crafted a life-size (7ft!) ChainStaff for you to pose with! I will have it at MAGFest this weekend. Come find me in the indie section! Gonna share some build pics each day leading up.

In case you missed it: you are REQUIRED to kick your year off with Todd & Aaron’s Game Awards (these are definitive awards and cannot be disputed)

People's ingenuity and imagination are still at work in a large way in Photoshop/collages, as opposed to gen-AI prompts.

Has anybody made Line Wobbler work on the side of the house with Christmas lights yet?

My wife knew I wanted the game but she didn’t know what system or physical or digital or what. So she just gave me this ha ha. The game is amazing by the way, got it on the PS5. Thanks @bitmapbureau.com Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄

Calling all 6502/NES programmers! We recently preserved and shared a source code snapshot of the lost Police Academy game! Which is great, except it's in a pretty bad state. I'm hoping there's enough to "revert" back to its trade show demo. Any interest in helping? www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/pgm4m...

Oh awesome, Cranky Templar made a list of all (current) death animations in ChainStaff! youtu.be/90-Z0iXs2qE?... Okay it is kinda funny I still only have one death-scream.. hmm.. maybe I need to do more.

My conspiracy theory about genAI in games blowing up more and more by big companies is that they’ve all got a ton of investors insisting they use genAI tools otherwise they(investors) won’t be able to bankroll em anymore

I gave Cranky Templar exclusive first look at level 2 "Dragon's Bridge" in ChainStaff, check it out! youtu.be/z4OX0Rydvdc?...

This is absolutely monstrous. Made from Anduril's (Founder Palmer Luckey's arms company) drone metal, soaked in blood. Please do not support (or continue not supporting, as a lot of you are lovely peeps) anything from ModRetro.

It's the last work day of the year so post a video game banger www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6ER...

I wonder if when making Metroid 4, by adding a tacked-on open-world desert and a bike and adding talking npcs, were they side-stepping the worry of "if could they make a good 'regular' metroid"? By making something just different (and kind of confusing directionally speaking)?

12. ChainStaff It looks like a playable Roger Dean 70s prog rock album cover. What else do I need to say?

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin

Checked out Chainstaff by @mommysbestgames.bsky.social were a bug stuck to our head is the last hope to save humanity... or we might just eat it idk depends on how hunger i get while saving'em. youtu.be/k4Al6vWWhag #goatvid #vtuber #envtuber #youtube #letsplay #furryvtuber #gaming

consider my feedback: i loved working at @larianstudios.com until AI. reconsider and change your direction, like, yesterday. show your employees some respect. they are world-class & do not need AI assistance to come up with amazing ideas.

Is it weird that one of my favorite things in Stranger Things is the warbly guitar that plays for a moment during eerie scenes?

"The Game Awards" are so weird... There's lots of NEW GAMES announced during the thing that is supposed to be giving out awards to current games. wtf Imagine the Oscars going down like this. All the people waiting for movie awards for their hard work--"hang on we have to show a new movie trailer!"

THE RACETRACK IS OPEN‼️🐑🦝 Bike, build, trap, trick and race together in Ultimate Sheep Raccoon! ⬇️ Available now on PC, Xbox Game Pass, and Switch 1 and Switch 2. Links in reply. www.youtube.com/watch?v=30uL...

Mommy's Best Games is an OG indie, real stuff. I am talking about times when indie meant self developing, publishing and advertising, absolutely no publishers involved. Pre-Devolver scene. Been a MBG fan since my XBLIG times, and I am looking forward to Chainstaff since playing the demo!

You probably saw this trailer thumbnail going around and avoided it all day like I have. I finally watched it. These guys are freaking geniuses they are swinging and punching with jokes and jabs in every direction. You don't have to care about the game or soccer--watch this trailer.

Got a new video up in which I briefly go over my history making games (since 1994!!!) and then show off a sneak peek of the freaky monsters in level 6 in ChainStaff! www.youtube.com/watch?v=AetQ...
