Okay. Ai can go bankrupt then. This is not our problem, this sounds like a rich tech billionaire problem.

I'm gonna do a developer commentary over me playing Lorn's Lure. Do you have any specific questions you'd like to see answered?

Studios not being allowed to survive making bad video games and learn from them is also a reason bad video games keep happening

ENTROPY is our child of love, and it's getting so much of our passion and ideas poured into it that I REALLY hope you will give our demo a chance, so it could possibly speak to you and your tastes -- both in gameplay and storytelling! steamcommunity.com/app/3940340/...

SÖooo I'm playing Öoo. Some of these bits, you're like no, you don't mean I have to --(drinks heavily)-- shurley theresh been shome mishtake. But it's yes, you do. And you do it. And you continue to descend into the twisty depths. (of course I'm only writing this post because I got stuck again)

Dave's Word Game is so sick guys like @joelotter.com , @okw.bsky.social , and Dave (offline and twice as cool for it) have put an insane amount of effort and skill towards making it such a delight and I'm so proud of them the Steam demo awaits you

I have discovered autocomplete is not entirely helpful when it comes to typing N+∞×2

my friends, I bring unexpected news from Canadaland

Grump: An increasing number of people seem to equate a mobile device with the freedom to watch television anywhere It's bad enough when ppl have a video call with volume on full pelt, but omg people running though tiktoks or football highlights on the train or a coffee shop BUY SOME MFing EARPODS

Yesterday, I released a new edition of LOK! A whole new expansion, some new secrets, everything with an additional layer of polish. You can read about the changes here: letibus.itch.io/lok/devlog/1...

Last call for Crashbook, so don't delay! 22 games I haven't played! If you don't read it soon I might have played some! The list: www.electrondance.co... Screenshots shown: WALL STREET RAIDER, INKBLOOD, she danced in the wind like a holographic dream before the world died, THE DARKEST FILES

"Oh, I was rewriting bits where characters die because the text was inconsistent with the worldbuilding. When I was done they were more... uh... horrific." "And this is what you do on your lunchtime? For fun?"

As I'm spending 95% of my spare time on The Game, about all I'm good for writing is a new Crashbook! Here are 22 games that caught my wandering eye... www.electrondance.co... Screenshots shown: MOTORSLICE, THE TALOS PRINICIPLE III, AUTOMATON HEART, ÉCLAIRCIES.

Here is another list of 22 games that looked interesting to me and the mystery question is whether I will play any of them! Go take a look: www.electrondance.co... Screenshots shown: BACKTRACE, DITTORI, LUNA ABYSS, SNAP & GRAB.

Season 3 of THINKY DAILIES has started! It's a set of great puzzles by cool thinky designers, themed around the adventures of a puzzle-loving friend! I do the writing, but look at @leyreley.bsky.social's art! The BABY!!!!! <3 thinkygames.com/dailies/puzz...

Every now and then I think about the unfinished video projects I have on my hard drive and I scream. And when I mean every now and then, obv I mean in the shower

Time to wheel out another Crashbook, fellow kids. 21 games I've made the personal commitment not to play so I can put them in an article about games I haven't played. All here: www.electrondance.co... Screenshots shown: ALGOLEMETH, DUNGEONS OF FREEPORT, ELMIN, PHONOPOLIS.

Simon Jenkins is the type of writer that AI would send straight to the wall. He produces confident-sounding rubbish all the time

GAME DEVELOPMENT UPDATE Time taken implementing a custom effect using SVG and CSS filters: 4 hours Time taken removing SVG because of a Firefox rendering bug I couldn't work around: 1 hour (More seriously, into dev endgame now, no more VFX stuff to do, just review and editing.)

What do you call it when you've had it up to here with people calling things ****maxxing? Maxxmaxxing? Anyway, I'm fucking theremaxxing

I went outside ready-baked and came back to the office oven-cooked

868-BACK is out TOMORROW at 1PM EST! 👾 Here's what Finji Co-founder & Director @adamatomic.bsky.social has to say about the matter. (spoiler: he's really into it)

I have been thinking of writing about my frustrations with Sol Cesto and Titanium Court what a preposterous notion

what's that? the sun is out? then it's time to play some videogames

My task list at the office was previously called Tasks . today I renamed it Tekeli-li

morning along the riverbank

Police are following up on all leads

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

Me and Blue Prince

Learned people cast great shadows #StephensSausageRoll

we live in a urinocracy, the billionaires shower you with gold every day, lap it up, it's trickle-down economics, baby

This argument doesn't hold water (As I typed this I could literally hear the sound of the social media blocks arriving en masse)

Marcos once again punching outside of the box here

The writing life.

Dude, I send them in there like scouts

Me doing 'how many of these 100 novels have you read' things in the papers

It's annoying that I can't talk about my game on here because of "spoilers" because I could really cultivate being a tedious bore on social media "Ha! But did I tell you about my great misadventure trying to coax vw and vh into the same CSS position declaration--" "Ok, time for bed, grandpa"

868-back is really on another level you go so quickly from being a (relatively) normal person to being like oh damn i can get at least 17 legacy without even porting if i loop blit that block of sprites and pull those viruses and cryptogs into a debug stack

I point a lot of students to this excellent series of essays by @electrondance.com. In addition to having lots of great design observations on a wide spectrum of definitions of 'puzzle game', it's an absolute treasure trove of references to investigate as well! www.electrondance.com/the-ouroboro...

Well, shit, you wait an aeon for a sequel then get two. Talos III. store.steampowered.c... 1/2

I suspect this is more a function of the game industry burning its creators as artistic fuel as fast as possible, there just isn't as many older hands making games because of burnout Counterpoint: Indies from 2010 are more likely to still be going now than indies from 2020?
