I’m opening a movie theater in which I show recently released films that I ripped from the internet but the studios are welcome to opt out if they wish.

With almost laughably low power, a monochrome screen, and unique controls, niche-micro console Playdate shouldn't make any sense in a world of modern gaming. Yet, it's near impossible not to love it. www.wired.com/story/three-...

MOTORSLICE demo available NOW

Here's the lineup for FREAKON 2025 can you believe this shit lol www.freakon.com.au/blogs/news/f...

I overhauled ArtilleRoyalty's scoring system and added a Sonic the Hedgehog style Results screen with a letter rank. Instead of Gridcannon's score of 0-6, the new one has more granularity, so I also added support for Playdate's Global Scoreboard API. #gamedev #playdate #indiegame #indiedev

cloudburst, my newest #playdate app, arrives in catalog tomorrow! weather you like it or not

I left little critiques on lots of game trailers so here's a thread with the most common issues (and additional reading) 🧵 1. Don't put logos at the start. It's just dead air that could be gameplay, which is 100000000X more interesting. www.derek-lieu.com/blog/2021/3/...

I think this lip sync tutorial can still help many, so here you go :)

I had a dream last night that everytime I used Ctrl+V to paste there was a 10% chance Windows 11 just crashed and rebooted. And this morning I honestly thought it wasn't a dream and was avoiding pasting anything 😂

Some awesome talks lined up here, including my own! Come see me ramble on at #GCAP2025 about contracting and see how 15 years of working on (too many) games has shaped how I work with them as well as how we work for dev teams!

Took multiple cable cars today on Mount Hiei. I don't think many tourists come to this place. Look how pretty this is.

I make this, but I made it open source: anubis.techaro.lol

Adding the last few touches to Super Splash League to round out the experience. This sure is coming in hot! #playdate

I just got a popup with "How likely are you to recommend Unity to a colleague?" Ugh, whaaa?

Birds - casual. Runner - present. Playdate - crank?! Join @zerocounts.bsky.social as he winds through Casual Birder🐦 #SGDQ2025

As GDC talk applications have opened, I want to politely remind you that GDC remains one of the most inaccessible, unfairly expensive, and dangerous for-profit game industry events out there - and that offering your labour for free to it just adds value that pressures people into going needlessly.

What is an overlooked indie PC game from the last 5 years that deserved more recognition? Bonus points if you can tag the developer too. Please share this post, there's a reason I'm asking that could hopefully benefit the devs specifically.

Absolutely unhinged goblin posting coming from ND :D youtube.com/shorts/DLX3Z...

getting something of a title screen together! :D #bombshellblitz #madewithunity #gamedev

a lot of people read this and didn't know about the clair obscur stuff, then asked why nobody covered it, and it's very simple: 1) sandfall never responded to questions about it; THIS news only really blew up when 11 Bit's response was such dogshit 2) they quickly and quietly patched it out
