Finally it happened.

My process for finding Bento outputs that I like is deliberately not that efficient. I enjoy taking my time and watching the outputs appear in an animated way.

Sometimes the machine creates twins.

Bento definitely looks best in sets.

More Bento work today.

It's been a while since I last touched one of my generative art projects. Dusting off Bento to create some postcards and prints.

At least I am honest about it.

Often my projects don't require me to draw much and I forget how much I actually enjoy it. Some sketches for Foundling.

Don't forget to play outside.

A full playthrough of our current prototype. Thoughts, feedback, feelings welcome. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Qup...

Such pleasantly strange perspectives our prototype produces.

Prototype progress. You can easily get lost in our forest, but that doesn't seem so bad to be honest.

Introducing my son to the wonderful puzzly world of LOK by @letibus.bsky.social I've ordered his puzzle books and the Herd board game. Looking forward to trying them all out. Order his works here: www.blazgracar.com

IndieCade announced its award winners yesterday. This year each award comes with a small print the size of a tarot card. I designed the one for the Grand Jury price. Congratulations to @thegamebakers.com for winning with their mountaineering adventure Cairn. The card will be on its way soon.

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers, and which also rules.

Our little Lai finding its way to the portal.

I have a soft spot for postcards straight from the editor.

One of our initial goals for this prototype was to make the player feel small and lost in the woods. We are getting there.

I might not know what these are, but I strongly feel our game needs them.

Foundling progress. Feels like today Lai's forest is really coming together.

Did I break the ground shader OR is it art?

Now you only get a limited amount of attempts in our daily challenge. The amount varies per day. Today we have only 10 attempts to solve a race with 6 checkpoints and no obvious fastest route available : | Join our free demo, but be warned, it's hard: store.steampowered.com/app/3888920/...

Maybe start the year with some thinky parcours? Dubio is still on sale on Steam. 3 instead of 5 Doros Also available on iOS and Android. store.steampowered.com/app/2780790/...

Progress on our next prototype. @ajkolenc.bsky.social has been busy bringing Lai to life.

Informative and personal write up about producing a physical puzzle game.

Recursive twig mayhem. Quite pretty.

Our forest test scene to get lost in.

Dubio has now been out for one year. We just got the 50th review on Steam. Thank you reviewing people, it helps. store.steampowered.com/app/2780790/... (also available on iOS and Android)

Set a new record for Axe Ghost today. Beat my score and I will send you a large sum of money OR a post card. store.steampowered.com/app/2712670/...

Ohhh I am tempted to jump back in. Such good fun. Just scared of Lil Hunter!

So, @ajkolenc.bsky.social and I have started working on yet again another prototype. Trying to test more than one concept to see which one seems most suitable for further development. This is still very early in development, but it gives an idea of what we are exploring.

Perfect time to start buying those Christmas gifts folks.

everyone steal this. let’s make this a new industry standard

In Pulse you can watch the replays of yesterday's top three racers. The coolest days are when the top three all believed in different routes. You can get the demo on Steam and join us in competing for the daily gold. store.steampowered.com/app/3888920/...

Dubio is 40% off on Steam. Now 2.99 (€$). That is only 0.022 €$ per puzzle. store.steampowered.com/app/2780790/...

@richardboeser.bsky.social posted a recording of his Axe Ghost run yesterday and talked about his approach to high score chasing 👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd8E...

if you want to build a smooth, responsive, visually interesting, non‑janky card interface for your game please do it like this for your own sanity 🧵(i'm using godot, but these recommendations are framework agnostic)

Time to #pitchyagame. Pulse is: 🏎️ high speed time trial racing 🗺️ creative route planning 🏆 competitive leaderboards Our free demo on Steam is basically our latest development build. Compete with us for the daily 🥇 🥈 🥉 store.steampowered.com/app/3888920/...

We have a cozy group of players returning every day to compete in the daily challenge. Join if you you'd enjoy a mix of high speed time trial racing and creative route planning. Our demo on Steam is where we are in development. Like Early Access, but free. store.steampowered.com/app/3888920/...

The process behind the latest visual that I made for Pulse. Done in Affinity Designer.

Updating Steam assets for Pulse. I always enjoy this process and to see the games I work on in the context of others that I like.

Axe Ghost is a brainy turn based challenge where you push monsters around and blow them up. reviewers say it's unlike anything else out there. On sale until the start of next week! store.steampowered.com/app/2712670/...

New key art for Pulse. Demo on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3888920/...

Öoo is a master class in puzzle design. That 71% of its players make it to the very end is a sign of how good it is, because it is not that easy. There is no separate hint system, instead the game itself is one big hint system. Very clever. store.steampowered.com/app/2721890/...

Exploring hover bikes and hover fashion.

Great thoughts from Tomasz about the development and release of Axe Ghost. I wish more players would have gotten as hooked to it as I did.

Building some wall mountable space invader mosaic as a present for my son. He very much enjoyed hunting for the official ones in Paris this summer. www.space-invaders.com/home/

Crossing the finish line is all that matters, regardless of what happens afterwards.

Today I learned about Gerhard Munthe, who, in the early 20th century, designed some extremely Atari-looking tapestries with titles like "Blood Tower"

And one more time our trailer for Pulse, our currently in development high speed racer with a thinky component. Play the demo to compete for the daily gold. store.steampowered.com/app/3888920/...
