PSA: Apparently someone called "Jay Marksman trading as GamesMM Studios" is/was selling some sort of asset flip AI versions of popular indie games on Playstation. This is *not* me. I don't know who they are, and I despise whatever they are trying to do. (1/3) #gamedev #indiedev #playstation

Happy one-day-after-Skyrim's-14th-anniversary day.

The word "feature creep" gets thrown around a lot these days... But I think I'd rather call it OCD. #indiegamedev #horrorgames #survivalhorror #screenshotsaturday

Ok, Two announcements: First, I am amazed to report that #Hypogea just reached 10k wishlists, which I couldn't be more grateful for 🙏🥹 SECONDLY (And I'm somewhat nervous about this) here's a short new trailer with some special info at the end... #gamedev #indiedev

I've heard that the original Hollow Knight is the tutorial for Silksong. That's all well and good, but what if I played the tutorial 3 years ago? 😂

A few hours left 👁️ #SteamAutumnSale #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev

I know you have always wanted to buy me a (non-alcoholic) drink, and now you can! Just purchase Escape from Mutation Station on Steam during the sale, it's that simple! Thank you! #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #steamautumnsale

Whhaaat! I have fond memories of playing Icy Tower with my siblings, and that "All right...😎" sound bite is burned into my brain. Gonna be playing for sure. 25 years, though... 👴

Escape from Mutation Station is -50% during the Steam Autumn Sale! I've been too busy to prepare anything to market this fact, but if you like escape rooms, meta-ish puzzles, and retro-scifi vibes, check it out. It's cheap!👇 store.steampowered.com/app/3137530/... #SteamSale #indiegames #gamedev

Silksong, I love you, but what the hell is this MMO-ass fetch quest where drops aren't guaranteed and the items I need to gather can drop into lava? 😂

By the way, I can now confirm that this is an acceptable way to spend one's 35th birthday.

I feel like some of the Silksong bosses are as hard as the DLC bosses in the original game, but I can't be sure since it's been so long since I played the original. I haven't encountered anything I'd describe as unfair so far, but you have to press buttons pretty damn fast in a lot of them.

TGS was fun, though maybe a bit overwhelming going for the first time by myself. That being said, got to meet a few Japanese YouTubers who played my game earlier this year, which was really cool. Chatted with a few devs as well, and played a few demos. TGS/10, would go again.

Is sleeping most of the day, and playing Silksong for the rest, an acceptable way to spend one's 35th birthday? I'm strongly considering this for tomorrow at the moment.

I just found out I'm going to Tokyo Game Show on Friday. It's the first major game industry event I'll be attending. Anything I should be on the lookout for? Any suggestions for games/booths/whatever to check out? Thanks!🙏🗼 #gamedev #TokyoGameShow #TGS

Played through the tutorial of 2XKO and was reminded that fighting games take way too much dedication to even be bad at.

It took a Japanese co-worker's recommendation to make me, a Finnish man, watch one of the most well known Finnish films of recent years (Sisu, 2022). Certainly not perfect, but great cinematography, music, and of course, action. And a great final scene, which I always appreciate. Glad I watched it.

Here's the trailer to my coming game: Twinkle's Galactic Tour! Just an alien gal trying to make it as a singstar 👽⭐ A musical platformer with feels and rocket boots, inspired in 90s anime! #lowpoly #indiegames #gamedev

It turns out this "future" I spoke of was less than an hour into the future.

Weird how one can feel nostalgia from the Bonebottom music (an amazing track, by the way), despite playing the game for the first time. (it's because @christopherlarkin.bsky.social posted an OST sample on YouTube 5 years ago, and I listened to it quite a bit)

I already see my future if I don't finish #Silksong fast: "Wait, what was I even doing last time?" "I don't think I've been h-... oh shit, I have, it's *this* place!" *Interpreting map markers I placed myself* "I wonder, what were they trying to communicate with this?🧐"

I imagine I'm basically at the very beginning still, but really good stuff (as expected) so far. #HollowKnightSilksong #Silksong

Taking a break from Hypogea to add some more shmoovement to this one #gamedev

I have an evening + one full day. I have a ton of unfinished games, and a couple of online games I want to play. The question is, should I buy #Silksong and play that instead?

I don't know if they will pursue many other companies with this, but the fact that they can is certainly not good.

Less than a week until work starts 🙂🔥

I have too much to do before my job starts to play a lot of games, and I want to play *so* many games! Maybe I need to take a gaming weekend next week to satisfy that part of my brain (or a part of that part, at the very least).

It was crazy that Hollow Knight was only 15 dollars. It's crazy that Silksong is only going to be 20. I do appreciate it though.

There probably are some earlier ones, but I really didn't know what I was getting myself into with Thief: Deadly Shadows. It's not even that one level everyone always talks about. It was the the shift from medieval thievery into zombies and ghosts, in a very dark and atmospheric stealth game 💀

Leaving for Tokyo on Monday 🗼🎮 I'm not nervous, you are nervous.

Indie devs make such cool stuff. I wish I had the time and the money to buy and play all the cool stuff I see on here. #gamedev #indiedev

Hadn't looked at reviews in a while, but apparently I got my first (and only) negative review last month. I honestly can't even be mad about this 😂 #gamedev #indiegames

Based on my current sleep schedule, I'm pretty sure I'm going to be asleep when the Silksong thing happens. I'm sure it's better this way 🥹

Aesthetically one of my favorite video game levels. The N. Sane Trilogy version didn't do it justice. #psx #retrogaming #gamedev

It's real! It's happening! I think. I can't even be sure at this point. #HollowKnight #HollowKnightSilksong

I recently learned that D. Gray-man is still ongoing, and am now tempted to read it all from the start. Read a bunch in like 2009, somehow dropped it, and I honestly thought it would have finished by now.

Wild how my host brothers in Japan introduced me to ELLEGARDEN in 2008, and after having listened to them for over 15 years, they suddenly do an opening song for One Piece. #ELLEGARDEN #OnePiece #anime

I know what this image is supposed to represent, and I agree, but still I'm like "I kind of like the first circle more" #gamedev

Kind of surreal getting a notification about an AI assistant on my phone while reading PLUTO.
