people get hella mad when you say adult drivers should be more responsible than children on our streets.

After a length of development that - if I truly, deeply thought about it, I would instantly go insane as if I'd opened some Lovecraftian skin-bound tome - our narrative city-builder Generation Exile has launched out of Early Access into full 1.0 today! store.steampowered.com/app/2963240/...

OK I'm gonna stream some gamedev in about an hour from now (2:30pm PST). I haven't streamed in forever! Gonna be reworking an enemy I don't like. www.twitch.tv/noelfb

Experimenting with the idea of running save files on the title screen for very smooth game-loading ...

Local news is incredibly important. It brings so much warmth to my heart to get local newspapers dropped off on my doorstep, and it's really cool that #Winnipeg folks are working hard to make it more accessible and findable. I love my city

~ World Pole Stone Dusk: Diadem of the Pole ~ My game is out now on steam! Its a tough but short action game with many weapons enemies and secrets! Crunchy music, crunchy pixels, and super cheap! store.steampowered.com/app/3468690/...

I got my C# game compiling to android and running on the AYN Thor which is neat. Didn't require any engine changes besides how to load files (also no Audio yet but I assume FMOD has Android binaries)

OK I did the creature art today

when characters in 21st century TV shows or movies say, "I'm going to make breakfast," what does that even mean toast & cereal almost make themselves coffee, the only vital element, is not that big a deal I give a pass to historical dramas when wood had to be hewn, water hauled, hens burgled, etc

experimenting with a new enemy in City of None with @liamberry.ca (haven't done the creature art yet, not sure what it's gonna look like)

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!

I love em dashes and I will never forgive GenAI for taking them away from me

It’s so weird that not so long ago, like, less than 20 years, the progressive feminist position was gender de-segregation in sport and other male dominated spaces. Then the terfs came along and convinced the mainstream that the most progressive feminist position is that women are weak and feeble.

huh what could this be for

I’m not a fan of politicians trying to make people angry for votes by claiming there actually IS a “war on cars” (there isn’t — if anything there’s been a war on every OTHER way of getting around since the 1960s). A politician just made the claim on LinkedIn. Here’s the reply I posted. #UrbanTruth

Spent the morning making it so when you re-enter a zone, if no new "zone" / overworld music has played, it starts the track off in different spots. Pretty small but really helps keep any annoyance at bay when you're going in and out of an area!

it's kinda fun zooming all the way out on big screens while editing

Red should mean stop. Full stop.

A friend... cityofnone.com with @noelfb.bsky.social

I have so many things to say about this bullshit, but my overriding reaction is “congrats, you played yourself.”

nothing makes me more satisfied than my little-box box

Horsey Game is released at long last! Behold my magnum flopus! store.steampowered.com/app/3602570/...

I feel like I'm improving at channelling the 16-year-old-me energy that made the original Jumper

building playtest level

I don't think anything is more exciting to me than a whole 2010-"fuck it, this is cool/important to me, we're making it"-coded indie game, made by a team-up of two of the most notable indie devs still standing of their dinstinct waves of indie devs, over what is basically a decade of work.

Abandoning self-hosted php forums continue to be a mistake

"it's just performance" ... well you're getting mad about it sooooo

I talked about this in a video. Wearing a 'Fuck Nazis' hat out in your community is performative. And that is good. Performing as a person who cares about your community is good. It's like last year when people were complaining about virtue signaling. Signaling my virtues is good!

Who’s your Super Bowl halftime performer? Wrong answers only

Really interest statistic about Winnipeg. Surprising that we're more car free than Vancouver, but also in line with the general underestimation of my city and what life is/can be like here.

in a month, it won't be possible to purchase or download the software that opens thousands of beastieball's most valuable, labored project files. 😅 i was going to make a joke but all i can think is "why"? a generation of artists grew up with flash... what a profound waste...

a very important addition to the moveset: the scooch

I thought the money from me alone would've been plenty to keep Native Instruments around 3 more years at least. My Fantasy: Fabfilter buys them & then makes their own DAW that's a licensed skin of REAPER but it's Fabfilter beautiful & it has Izotope RX built into every audio region. & world peace.

the Cave Story mockup that almost came out officially. I worked with the Cave Story publisher Nicalis for a few months developing a pixel art but higher resolution version of the game. Pixel approved! Here's also some upscaled sprites, showing options #pixelart

canadians while voting for libertarians and higher police budgets: damn look at what’s happening in the usa glad that ain’t us

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

game design is about super-positioning and becauses learning how to make a level that is secretly seven different levels at once, overlaid on itself, so people w different approaches can find their own way through learning how to make a level that gives people a "because"...i went this way BECAUSE

Big news: Canada changed their citizenship rules and now if you've ever had a direct ancestor who was a citizen, you are now automatically a citizen too! www.canada.ca/en/immigrati... I've been sharing this around, and I know a few people who've discovered they're now Canadian citizens!

This is tomorrow!! A huge honour to have my music performed by the @wpgsymphony.bsky.social, alongside a bunch of other great pieces
