Last call for the new Crashbook post. Some games that caught my eye which I just had to share, even if I didn't play them once. Everything is here: www.electrondance.co... Screenshots shown: A Permanent Echo, Derelict Star, HYPNOS and Stardream.

I bought the lovely manual for The Banished Vault even though I only played it a couple of times for streaming. I don't even have Amberspire and I'm still tempted to buy this manual 😂 Ah my formative years where joy was extracted from reading the game instructions over and over...

Everybody's favourite Electron Dance post is back after a long hiatus - Crashbook! This time it's almost thirty games in the list. Games I haven't played. Read here: www.electrondance.co... Screenshots shown: Relooted, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu, Astro Protocol and Key Fairy.

Two things: 1. This is a truly unhinged premise for a romantic comedy 2. They should have called it The Urge www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRG2...

Dreams on a Pillow by @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social is a game that deserves to exist for a million reasons, but it can only be funded if we all help by pledging and sharing. www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/...

I posted another Crashbook which is renowned for highlighting games I have not played. How many this time? A grand total of 27, which you can find listed here: www.electrondance.co... Screenshots shown: Dap, DEMON DUST, Planet of Lana II, Quite a Ride

If you want to know what I have been messing around with this week, it's Sol Cesto. I like this but also harbour some grumpy thoughts about upgrade gating. It is nice to get 800 coins in the bucket tho

It's been a while, but definitely time for another Crashbook post. 27 games I haven't played all wrapped in a shiny bow. Blog. I mean, shiny blog: www.electrondance.co... Screenshots shown: 1 Billion Spells, Crisol: Theater of Idols, Dreams on a Pillow, I Saw a Flying Saucer

LAUNCH ANNOUNCEMENT It’s 2019. You brought home a strange 1995 CD-ROM game from the thrift store. You vaguely remember some kind of controversy, but never had a chance to play it. Until now. Steam: tinyurl.com/ywj43ptj GOG: tinyurl.com/2s3sv45j Itch: tinyurl.com/3k4bjt8m #indiedev #FakeOS

👍

Honestly I have been a little blown away the past few weeks / months by the huge number of analyses showing that despite *gestures broadly* everything, there is solid, concrete-foundation momentum in the energy transition, and every MASSIVE setbacks just slow down acceleration, rather than reversal

The last episode of season one is now available. What a journey it's been. I don't even know what to say. This is one of the best experiences I've ever had, telling this story with an amazing group of talented people. I can only hope you check it out and see what we created.

Announcement: 💻 We created a Steam Festival of over 150 #FakeOS games 📲 InterfaceX26 is live on Steam! Enjoy discounts, game announcements and a fantastic showcase event with some of your fave streamers! Please check it out, 👍+ 🔁 store.steampowered.com/sale/Interfa... #indiedev #signalboost

Ah, narrative in an indie game, huh

Among other things, I think this trend reduces the strength of the claim by social media platforms that they are not publishers, and therefore not responsible for content.

HYPERBEAT is 30% off right now! for just 10$ and a couple of quarters you too can experience peak rhythm game😌

The Michael sequel will focus on the making on the Moonwalker game BUT BUT BUT the Master System port only.

As kid my way to school was always blocked by checkpoints From that day i know my life gonna be different But i didnt imagine my game will be blocked or my posts would be flagged as a spam just because I'm Palestinian Please consider supporting this gorgeous game about Palestine launchgood.com/1948

My boss is messaging me on teams

Epilogue to this story. I remained unhappy, the writing was clunky having to dodge story elements I'd built up over months and I felt that it would be glaringly obvious to the player. But while out with a friend last night, I was struck by a sudden moment of epiphany. It was profound.

I miss when "procedurally generated art gallery in a procedurally generated swamp with procedurally generated art made by procedurally generated artists" was cool instead of deeply concerning

my echolocation game "Echo Chaser" is out! chase echoes, explore an interconnected and invisible world if you've liked "Animal Well" you may enjoy this game too #pico8 #gamedev #ldjam 🔊: verbante.itch.io/echo 👂: www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=156...

I am thrilled to announce that Dreams on a Pillow has wrapped up pre-production and we are about to start full production. We can’t do it without your support. We are starting our second round of crowdfunding, to support us you can find out more here www.launchgood.com/1948

Realising that Bivium is not far from that awful milestone of a full year in development, which is 26x longer than the original intention. A full year of everything else being shut down and having focus regularly disrupted with gamedev thoughts. I love it, but it's also been destructive.

I see Titanium Court reviews are out today, and honestly if you're already interested enough to pick the game up I'd say.. Do not read them. Many extensively lay out elements that I think are way more enjoyable to discover on their own. The surprise is part of the experience

we all know I have no life, so:

New Blue Prince room just dropped

I'm writing a delicate segment in the game which is a 10 on the motherfucking poignancy scale. It had been "to do" for a loooong time. I saw a paradox I had to deal with but I thought: I'm sure I'll have it licked by the time I get there. Guess what 😂 1/3

Read through Final Cut this week week which is full of long silences, repeating motifs and a general sense of unease running through every page.

Tape 05 on repeat until I finish the game You know I've listened to a lot of music during the making of Bivium but Tape 05 is a perfect match for its themes. Absolute mood.

On my fucking god they're gonna AI this shit aren't they Time to look out to the office window and watch the seagulls having sex

From time to time I need to publicly announce that I hate - with murderous passion - the modern smart TV No matter the model, it offers the kind of premium efficiency you'd expect from a smartphone that is ten years out of date, grinding to a halt whenever you try to open settings

I keep vacillating between she deserved it and no one deserves this you fuck But it doesn't change the fact that she is going to die and there is jack shit I can do about it, I'm just the sole writer and developer of the game

Aside from all the obvious dumb shit in this advert, the idea that whoever is providing the AI services will "never ask for a raise" is for the goddamn birds

And I scrapped the work again because in the cold light of night, I didn't like the new version either. Turns out removing most of the animation was best 😄

I do wonder if companies realise when they change their logo it doesn't just impact marketing but also UI. Eyes keep scanning the space what their app should be, an alien symbol squatting in its place, invisible to my brain.

Spent two hours last night on a CSS animation. Had an idea, realised I was too mortal to attempt it, threw my skull against the brick wall any way, pulled it off to spite God and realised it just didn't look good. Alternative done in 20 minutes - but only because of those two hours of hard labour.

Anthology of the Killer is OUT NOW on PS5 and Nintendo Switch! The groundbreaking and dreamlike, IGF Nuovo-winning horror-comedy series from legendary auteur thecatamites, is finally on console! Play once and remember forever.

I was thinking about sneakily inserting Bivium into the next Crashbook. Regardless of the conflict of interest 😂 I realised as I had already played it, many many times, it breached the Crashbook's one rule: it only includes games I have not played (yet).

"Colonel, the United States is not in the business of interfering in other people's affairs," a line from Stargate SG-1 we heard last night. Produced the biggest laugh of the evening
