Psychonauts 2 - Review 🧵 store.steampowered.com/app/607080 I played Psychonauts 1 back in 2017, nearly 10 years ago now. And while not revolutionary in its gameplay, the game definitely left a mark on me, as it did on many others who played it.

My god every image from this game looks so good I can't wait for it to be out

this is what it feels like to make a game

Game camp day 2 Conference by Sebastien Bénard aka deepnight, who made a lot of the Motion Twin browser flash games that I spent years playing when I was young.

Day 1 of Game Camp #GameCamp Managed to arrive in time to catch Sam Barlow's conference on narration

Mina the Hollower - Review 🧵 The best compliment I can give Mina is that playing it reminds me of the hours spend on my Gameboy playing Link's Awakening and Minish Cap as a kid, exploring dungeons and fighting bosses.

Finally finished Mina Took me around 35 hours What an absolutely fantastic game

Listen to this beauty youtu.be/fn0YnaLCU8g?...

Was rereading some old One Piece chapters

The difficulty curve of Mina is overall really good, but I have some minor criticism - The game gives you too many plasma vials. The level design always makes sure you can return to the checkpoint easily, and the plasma mechanic means you frequently die because you couldn't fill up your bar, not-

our indie game: - a slow-burning horror RPG - meet (or date) 10+ charming characters - fast-paced combat - customize your playstyle with crafted items and combat abilities - build a new life on a remote island

Deep beneath the concrete, people are dancing again. How much longer can Teknopolis be controlled ? #indiegame #gamedev #gaming #teaser

A nice moment in Cairn Makes me happy I stuck with the game despite the clunky controls

I really love the difficulty of Mina the Hollower I just finished a really hard and punishing area, but at no point was I so frustrated that it encroached on my enjoyement of the game The game is incredibly fair, and every screen feels like a puzzle where careful positioning is crucial.

Rayman Legends... remake... in 3D... I get that there is hype for this but like Where's the Rayman 2/3 remake? Better yet, where's a new actual 3D collectathon platformer, and not just a 2D side-scroller? Also why remake it in 3D? It lost so much of the snappiness and visual pop the original had!

Very mousey Mina the Hollower! 🐭 #art #fanart

Can't get over people talking about Mina the Hollower being unfair or frustrating Do those people just keep bashing their head over the same obstacles without trying a different approach? When I had trouble with the graveyard area I just farmed a bit, got some max HP, boom it got so much easier

My little cousin (13yo) just started Silksong He's not a fan of the pogo

My review of Mina the Hollower, 10 hours in #MinaTheHollower #Mina #GameReview #Gaming

Now on 10 hours of Mina I still love the combat and exploration, but I'm starting to think that the Soulsian mechanic of "you need to get back to where you died for your money" is getting really outdated. Mina goes to great lengths to make it less frustrating, but it could also just not be there?

Played more of Mina the Hollower It's kinda crazy how much this game feels just like an old-school Zelda I had multiple moments where waves of nostalgia from Link to the Past, Link's Awakening and Minish Cap hit me square in the chest But it also has a fluidity that no Zelda game has had

It's my birthday! As a gift to me maybe check out my stuff, read more books and watch weird movies? Also be kinder to animals and play Look Outside through to the end! (Still so proud of what Frankie and Eric our whole team made!) store.steampowered.com/app/3373660/...

Insane how quickly the game grabs you, the combat is so incredibly fun by minute one It plays exactly like an old Zelda game but with 30 years of game design improvements Lots of hidden secrets to reward exploration & observation, lots of small intricacies to the controls Gorgeous pixel art & music

Mina the Hollower is OUT NOW!🐭🕯️ After 6 years of development, our fright-filled action-adventure is finally in your hands. Whip foes, burrow beneath danger, uncover secrets, and descend into Tenebrous Isle today. Thank you for joining us on this journey. ⚔️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQZM...

Finished Eclipsium store.steampowered.com/app/2419670 A wonderfully intense and beautiful short experience. I loved the aesthetic and art direction of this game, loved the ambiance and sound design, loved the treks through enormous landscapes just as much as the oppressive horror segments.

I started Eclipsium I absolutely adore the art direction of this game

Finished Slay the Princess 🧵 store.steampowered.com/app/1989270 I think the highest compliment I can give a game is that it made me want to go and create one myself. Slay the Princess is a work of art, one that had me gripped like few other games did and made me fall in love with it in record time

By the way, I'm looking for people to participate in this year's #GMTKJam ! I've been doing jams for nearly five years now, as a game programmer and designer, and since 2024 as team lead. You can find some of my previous jams here : romainbachelier.myportfolio.com/work

Reading the catalogue of the "Music in Video Games" expo makes me discover some real bangers youtu.be/VX2_G2RwRy8

I finished Void Stranger this week store.steampowered.com/app/2121980 I definitely recommand it to any fan of sokoban puzzle games and/or knowledge-vanias in the same vein as Animal Well and Blue Prince. I am... a little conflicted on some parts of it? But overall, great experience. 🧵

Went to the Paris Philarmonic's "Music in Video Games" expo yesterday It was really fun! A lot of stuff to touch, watch and listen to

youtu.be/SGkYXvRtWjA Pleasantly surprised by the quality of this week's episode of Iruma It's no sercet that the anime has a really low budget, but the direction and music are really exceptional here The music festival is my favorite arc of Iruma so I'm happy that it got the love it deserves

Rewatching let's plays of The Stanley Parable Honestly one of those games I never get tired of watching I love the Ultra Deluxe content of course, but even the base game has some truly fascinating moments. The countdown ending is very special to me, and I love seeing people react to it.

Btw I'll be going to Game Camp in Lille next month! I hope to meet some cool people and have some fun

It's gonna be interesting to play a new Jonathan Blow game, ten years after The Witness came out. Braid and The Witness were both hugely influencial over the current generation of puzzle games (Animal Well, Void Stranger, Tunic, Outer Wilds, Blue Prince) www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0OB... 1/4

I wanted to talk a little bit more about this level and my philosophy beind it. As a reminder, The Tides of Ys is a game about waiting for the tides in order to navigate your environment. This level is supposed to teach the player some new mechanics, here's how I designed it 🧵: #gamedev #devlog

The Tides of Ys continues to grow day after day. Today, our developper Betshet worked on a level showcasing the bells of Ys, described in legends as "the city of a hundred bell towers". Take a look! Read more about the game here : ombresvives.com #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #devlog

We start the week with a bang with this new level for The Tides of Ys. This time, I'm showcasing the phantom blocks and the bells! Tomorrow, I start working on a big level with all the mechanics combined. Read more here : ombresvives.com #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #MadeWithUnity #devlog

A new devlog is available on our website! ombresvives.com/2026/04/29/d... This week, you can read all about how we use music and sound in The Tides of Ys, from recording to integration. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #devlog

Working on onboarding levels for The Tides of Ys. This should help us with user tests in the future. Read more about The Tides of Ys on our website : ombresvives.com #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #MadeWithUnity
