I don't know why bsky thinks I'm interested in birder posts, but I gotta admit they are good though

This is how evangelion gets spoiled for me, somehow? (look I know, I'm not super far into it but I will get through it eventually)

My next game is finally shippable, but I'm staring at the draft of the itch page thinking something's missing. It doesn't help that I know the core of the game is fundamentally tricky in a way which will put most people off giving it more than a cursory try. ↓ Anyone want to playtest this? ↓

Any itch.io experts know what triggers a page appearing in the 'new' feed? I assume if I save a new page as a draft it won't. If I make a page restricted and then down the line make it public, does it then appear in the new feed? What about public but with a release date in the future?

who called them "the Huns" and not "H from Steppes"

This may seem cute but if you do this too much the cyclists may become reliant on cars feeding them, disrupting the delicate roadway ecosystem

I really respect team cherry's mechanics around mapping in hollow knight and silksong. But dying in an unmapped area feels like such a massive penalty, knowing even if you can get to your cocoon you might not be able to find your way back and who knows if you'll find the map npc

I feel like somebody should do something to make things better, probably. I feel this very strongly

It was not 🙄

Starting silksong late means I'm going to be dodging spoilers until I beat it, but it was worth it to beat Radiance in Hollow knight. Almost tempted to go back to get the final 2% in hollow knight, to be honest

the cruelest thing about any form of editing is that you can get "Hm. Yeah I don't like this." bugs once you're 99.9% done with whatever it is you're doing

Lately, people who used to be about my age are now in their 30s and 40s. We gotta figure out what's going on there

Pokemon Snap should be a genre with more indie games. Where are my snaplikes?

💖 The World Book Day 2026 titles have just been announced, and I’m thrilled to say Bunny Vs Monkey will be amongst them with our book ‘Total Chaos’! 🤩 Children will be able to choose this or any of the other WBD titles for free with a £1/€1.50 book token from February! @worldbookdayuk.bsky.social

I don't want to admit how long it took me to realise silksongs run ability was not a dash like hollow knight's. If you've got it and it hadn't occurred to you, hold the button instead of tapping for m o r e s p e e d

I finally beat Radiance in Hollowknight, so I can actually start silksong in earnest :D don't ask me how many tries it took, I don't want to talk about it

Simply the best slide I have ever seen in a powerpoint presentation care of @premeemohamed.com’s talk at @banffcentre.bsky.social re: Putting the Science in Science Fiction

I still want swords to be turned to plowshares, even when the guy who loved swords gets killed by one

If you see the video and want to brain bleach, go play Tetris for about 5 minutes. Literally. Been researched as a way of heading off PTSD / disables traumatic memory formation. (but also, turn off autoplay everywhere, he got hit in the carotid, I gather it was quite graphic, RIP bozo)

Cheers to 10 years of making videos 🥂

Hopefully the BBC will follow up on this story to cover the fact the venue mentioned in it had all of its windows put out on Friday night by someone with a hammer. Seems somewhat relevant. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

#27 Most epic scene ever. Escaping the ranch in #OcarinaOfTime Dead serious. Figuring out a unique situational puzzle on your own, while absolutely dunking on a minor villain in the process, and being treated to an epic cutscene, and being rewarded with a horse, feels friggin great.

Caverns.

Turning flags into battenburg - could this be the solution? Battenburg is both patriotic, whilst also kind and reassuring! #MoreCake #BeKind

REAL !

Yup! #google #android #BigTechShouldNotExist

I miss this era of game ui. Somehow loads easier to use despite theoretically being kinda bad

reminder that MasterCard and VISA are very okay with processing payments for guns and bullets, just not a video game where two fictional people fuck.

For all the dog lovers. This is a classic. Worth seeing again.

Hi! Have you heard about @prime8.games' Ghost Hunter Simulator? Zero Platforming. In fact, there's not even combat! XD

I always wanted to make a zombie game with a procedural story. The exact zombie mechanics would vary dependant on the source (virus, curse, vampire thralls etc), as welk as the course of the spread and the way you end the outbreak

Never change, Internet (except in all the ways you really, really should)

This is genuinely so cool. You would not be able to keep me away from a store that did this, almost no matter what game

morning read

I would love to see a cooking show where they do everything in a home kitchen (a small one). No little glass bowls of each spice set out. No pre-prepared chicken breasts read to go. Everything done by scratch. Then let them say "it's an easy meal to whip up in 30 minutes!" Fuck you.

Tiny Kingdoms is a peaceful building game where you draw packs of cards to place new tiles and grow your kingdom. #gamedev #indiedev #devlog #cozy

we used to build household shrines to Going On The Computer and it's no coincidence that as we abandoned these we started straying further from god's light

I don't have an idea ready for the game street my current project. I've been thinking about past ideas I've wanted to work on, but in terms of scale they're all far, far too big for me to approach on my own. A three week project is taking me 3-4 months, and I don't want to spend a year on one game

Friendly reminder.

Happy release day to Sword of the Sea, the latest game from Giant Squid, with ethereal soundtrack by @awintory.bsky.social :) I once again had the privilege of recording woodwinds, including this beautiful Mayan triple harmony drone flute. It has a haunting voice that's all throughout the score 🪈
