It's a treat to have this new version of Scram Kitty on Switch. Some small changes to the core design really does make this feel different from the Wii U version! Returning to this was more nostalgic than I expected and makes me miss the days of 3DS/Wii U indies. My video: youtu.be/OyJBmfGEsoQ?...

Here's a short introduction to Super Scram Kitty gameplay! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksa-...

I'm not sure I've ever felt smaller or less significant or more foolish. And I am too old to deserve an ounce of sympathy for it. I'm just... a sad, defeated man.

I've uploaded the release build to Itch.io for release later this week! Shortly thereafter, steam will get an updated demo with a bunch of new items. Steam will get the full game after the October Steam Next Fest (but you'll be able to play it on browser, even from mobile, on Itch this week).

10 Downing Street has become as iconic a film set as the Marriot Marquis lobby in Atlanta

Only one week left!

I'm at the finish line! Let's bring this game in for a landing and ship this weekend!

It's kind of amazing how a bar of hand soap from the grocery store lasts like a month, tops. But if I shell out for the fancy expensive soaps from a boutique, it'll last like 8-10 months. Anyways I turn forty in 7 weeks.

Recently avoided shelling out an extra grand to fix my car's AC. Using shopping math, I can now afford a new trailer for my game. It is a silly, frivolous, useless expense, but I get to tell the next guy outright to not use any fucking AI this time.

It's been horrifying to watch Game Development, a process that usually takes man-decades of work from highly talented teams, become devalued to the level of someone's AO3 novella.

mood tho

Watching this trailer for the movie about the whale eating the guy, and just remembering the 80 hour SSI training course with 15 spreadsheets for how you'll die if you swim slightly too fast in the wrong direction. The ocean is a horror movie by default, vorewhales don't add anything.

sure! why the fuck not post it again! if you like vampire: the masquerade and you like attempts at humour you should watch the video I made! youtu.be/DHCT1-W9fJ0?...

The game is different every time I play? No thanks. How will I revisit the glory of my past conquests if the World's rng has moved on without me?

Today's dopamine comes from seeing that my triceps are bigger than Wolverine's in the new game.

more like pride year every year

Once more for the weekend!

bisexual color palette is 🔥

It's weird how little I see people talk about how PS2 cutscene direction/choreography is really obviously pulling from theater, where instead of using big exaggerated movements for a far off audience it's cause of lower fidelity and less ability to make the models emote with their faces

Brb, I'm triangulating the position I lost my phone by wandering around aimlessly and listening for static on my headphones.

This is for like 87% of everything happening now

Mass Effect 1 fans be like 'this is why it's the best one'.

When politicians say they can't hold corporations accountable, remember: they can. They just choose not to.

Players would rather die and complain that the game is too hard than remember there were options in their inventory and spend two clicks to use them. I used modern UI paradigms to lower the usability barrier and suddenly the difficulty suddenly drops drastically.

"For an RPG, your choices really don't end up meaning a whole lot and-" Hi I want you to stop playing or talking about videogames forever.

Considering the changes happening at Google, making regular search results into a conversation with an AI bot, it was very easy for me to change my default search engine on my phone. Settings > Safari > Default Search Engine > there’s a nice simple dropdown menu. I picked DuckDuckGo.

(1/5) What game studios don’t consider about embracing AI is that alienating creatives kills their game’s fan-culture. The only fans that’ll remain are mindless consumers, and while consumers LOVE an active fan-culture, they cannot create or sustain one because they only consume.

Sometimes art is so breathtaking and poignant it defies all expectation

From what I can gather, CRPGs are for people who've always wanted all game rules, from movement to ability execution, to targeting and anything else, arbitrated by cats with severe ADHD.

There's "survival instincts", then there's "survival fuckit"

How I try to get your attention to show you my newest hyperfixation.

Bloodlines 2 was severely underrated for its storytelling It'd be a competent mystery in any medium, while also being precisely rooted in VTM tropes. I hate to say "it takes a second playthrough", but you can really see the efficient breadcrumbing of information and how intentional the pacing is

As a programmer, I can't think of a single time I've said "thank god we programmed to an interface". "Great, now we have to start casting every Interface reference to the only concrete subclass that will ever be made, as some abstract appeal to cohesion." I've said that plenty of times.

The 80s basically defined indie games, the 90s basically defined single-player games, the 00s basically defined art games and the 10s basically defined games as streaming content. I'll probably only know if the 20s are defining anything in hindsight.

I want to charge about what the average latte costs for my game. This is also the games 2009 price. Games have value. I'll be eviscerated online for being so greedy, and at best I'm going to make a few hundred bucks no matter what I charge. So I'm thinking of just giving my profits to charity.

This year's lesson: Knowing your worth is important so you don't overpay Yeah, the $15 cut from the jaded karen-topped Supercuts stylist is about the value of my aesthetic. Yeah, my game has the assets and prestige to pay $30 to someone on Fiverr for a trailer

'We've been a little bit too romantic about the idea that we should have employees and give people long-term job security' is an extraordinary thing for a video games CEO to say on record: aftermath.site/video-game-job...
