still sad that the Mario movie franchise isn't closer to something like Toy Story in how it approaches its characters and pacing. was hoping they'd rectify that in the sequel. there's no reason to care about any of these dudes.

has there been an album by an artist released in their late period that was both fiercely experimental or challenging and also worked? Scott Walker comes to mind. and debatably Bowie. anyone else?

Hey, if you're reading this, you should go play the Knytt series, too! Hypnospace was coded almost exclusively to the sounds of the Knytt Underground soundtrack ❤️

PSA for everyone who whines about the IMO good phrase Boomer Shooter: it is in reference to boomer-like attitudes that Millennials have about their games. e.g. Boomers saying that all new music sucks and Zepp or The Beatles or Floyd or whoever were real music.

have you played TEN BEAUTIFUL POSTCARDS? the game that made me realise ‘wait- maybe I could make a game’ it expresses so much without challenge or even collision thecatamites.itch.io/10-beautiful...

here's a thread about my new game project. i'll be dancing around the coolest bits because I want to save that for the big reveal, which isn't going to happen for a while because I'm waiting to make sure it is 100% coming out before announcing. it isn't set in the Hypnospace universe

If anyone is willing to share, I would be very appreciative!! 🔧🍃 We've just set the launch trailer live for Piece by Piece, our cozy repair shop game that is coming THIS WEEK, on March 11!! You can see it below, and find the game here: store.steampowered.com/app/3179050/...

This morning I dreamed that Rosewater had sold 948 copies and I was ecstatic. Then I woke up and thought “aw,man.” Help make my dream a reality!

Spread the word, an ACTUAL replacement for Flash is on the horizon! Go support this project NOW!!!!!!!! bill.newgrounds.com/news/post/16...

imo this should be a meme. i'm going to reply to all of your game release announcements with this.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

back in 2016ish when I was pitching Hypnospace around, a publisher told me that they prefer the games they publish to either be *first* at doing a thing or *the best* at doing an extant thing. for anyone who needs to make money from their projects this is still true imo.

If I try to get away, my body will just fall apart. It's because I'm a zombie...

If you're worried there aren't any bands capable of combining the best of early Zappa, Fripp, fancy crunchy guitars, fantastical synths, powerful vocals, and killer drums with their own incredible talent, here's some relief - @d3lahoz.bsky.social iheartnoise.bandcamp.com/album/ihn014...

new game project. i'm going almost entirely solo for the first time. i have not learned my lesson about scope BUT since it's just me I won't run out of money. anyway see you all in 1000 years for the reveal. it's not Hypnospace related, sorry!

my initial reaction was to roll my eyes because green cross always means dispensary around here but then I realized this was europe and this is probably part of a jobs program for retired demosceners

here's a new project from the two other Dreamsettler developers. check out their pitch at GDC!

new discord update looks different

Today is the tenth anniversary of Firewatch's release. It remains the thing I'm most proud to have worked on. There's more of me inside of Firewatch than in any other game—and I have no doubt there are others on the team who would say the same about themselves. Thanks to everyone who ever played it.

its so funny how this song basically follows the exact template of "I Am The Chowderman" from Hypnospace Outlaw, except its right wing

I'M SENDING AN EMAIL SOON WITH BETA TEST ACCESS FOR MY NEW VIDEO GAME FILL OUT THIS FORM IF YOU WANT TO PLAY AND SHARE THIS POST IF YOU WANNA HELP SPREAD THE WORD K BYE forms.gle/ZkUFdQjS3a7q... 🚀🧑‍🚀🪨🌠

Update! 📢 I'm super excited to announce that I've found a super cool publisher for my little game (Future Friends Games) and we've updated the demo!! we also changed the name from Balls, Dice & Stickers to STICKER/BALL because the old one was too long :D new trailer:

someone uploaded the Hypnospace Tune Sequencer test songs from the game files and i'm wondering who else has similar naming conventions for temp stuff

Great song for Grounding's Day. A @jaytholen.net classic! jtholen.bandcamp.com/track/why-sh...

Would you still love me if I was a WIP giant worm in a sci-fi metroidvania??? #esagame

one nice thing about Peter Gabriel is that he sounded old when he was like 19 so now that he actually is old it's not all that different
