Living History photography thread! At Château de Crèvecœur en Auge daily life circa 1475 is brought back to life. A Norman lordship, a harvest festival, work. More accurately reconstructed than in most films & TV shows... Photos © Barry's Photography www.facebook.com/media/set/?v...

Can't wait to unlock the anime club skin. I should reread anime club in preparation.

1 in 10 people in Gaza has now been massacred by Israel.

Most of this was done with particles. The jets are particles, the lava splash are particles, the lava bobbles bursting are particles, the embers in the air are particles, and others. Hurray for particle shaders in the #godotengine

#Local58 flavor town! 👀

Considering there was no front page covering and 660 games participating, Yesterdreamt did pretty good at Hungry Ghost Festival, strengthening my feeling that the game might now be more appealing for it's (cosmic) horror setting than as an MV. This video was good practice but didn't do anything. 😂

Those with their hands on the books, please do share (pictures etc)! If only these had been at East too 😅👀

Still one more day to go! Check out Yesterdreamt (maybe on the Steam Deck?) or one of the other games in the festival! Get your pre-Halloween scares in now!

A silksong patch is out. This was now a one-attempt since patch. I had tried it... 30 times before? So you might want to go try the thing again. (SPOILERS in alt text)

The owner of 100s of devkits, and undumped prototype game carts from a SEGA office clearance - which the Video Game Preservation Museum had been pursuing - has been raided by UK police and the devkits taken. This ongoing story is wild, includes undercover SEGA agents. (Read more: Time Extension)

Bluesky's moderation is a joke, seemingly pushed by a right-wing mass reporting campaign to suspend their users over nothing, but it doesn't occur to them that those right-wing fascists want this site shut down/gone, and Bluesky is gladly cutting its own legs out from under itself to help them.

No more appropriate way for the UKs genocidal government to respond to a Banksy piece condemning the abuse of the judicial and police system to protect said genocide than by abusing the judicial and policing system to remove the Banksy piece condemning the abuse of the judicial and police system.

If you're like me, this is one secret you want to spoil because it's already ragey enough of a game without needing to kill me instead of doing a save 😅

I wish Silksong had more type 1 fun and less type 2. I feel like the high tension moments are too close together 😅 Also, did there used to be so much mandatory pogoing in there? (Not to mention the pogo has become harder to judge and execute in my experience)

I will accept this as the Seal of Approval for my Linux build.* 🥳 To be honest, it was so cool to download the demo on my Steam Deck from the Steam store itself, and then boot it from there. I don't know if I'll ever get it on a Switch (2,), but I think this feeling comes close.

今晩は日本語のブルースカイー。特別な時のために日本語のビデオをやってしまった。どうもすみません。 それにしても、Hungry Ghost Festival　を楽しんでください: store.steampowered.com/curator/4502...

Preparing for the first Legacy2 game. I read on the Kixkstarter there was a companion voice-over app. Anyone know where to get it?

This is such crazy UI. First putting the bad option on the right and then not letting me correct it until "later". Dog shit

Yesterdreamt has been selected for the #HungryGhostFestival! To celebrate, you can now play the demo for my sanity-as-a-resource horror'troid on #Linux, which means it runs natively on Steam Deck. You can try out the demo here: store.steampowered.com/app/1637180/...

Nice that I got the demo working in test (without having to go to desktop mode), but now I wonder, is this enough of a test to say "Linux works"? #Linux Fellow #Godot -ians, how do you test your Linux builds for Steam?

Update, my workday ends when Silksong buyers stop overloading/crashing Steam. (Ironically, on the dev side I'm also trying to upload new builds for this weekend's FIRST FESTIVAL I'll be part of with Yesterdreamt 😊)

The thought has come up with a lot of other devs. Also a lot of release dates being moved. Since a lot of indies do MV and Silksong is the comparison for all others, to me it makes sense. Curious to see what happens to those who don't.

First thought: oh so all metroidvanias Then realize "oh no, like silksong so only melee based (and with pogo-ing?). THEN realize, well, it's pitch ya vania, so only the (castle)vania part is included. But that's usually included for all MV types. Perhaps it's time to call mine a horror...troid? 😅

im literally shaking. just got back from the store, where a masked man in a big coat grabbed me by the arm. he said: "listen here suit man. you didn't clock nuttin on the boss' sleeves, see? button that yap or you’ll get yourself fitted for cement shoes, capisce?” then he disappeared into the fog.

(picture my wife took in the weekend) it's like I'm doing an outdoor cooking show 😅

YES, RAIN!

After some Googling, seems like 25 is expected. I guess that's up from the 15 of HK, but still.

hey i have a meme for this

(TW: anxiety) Very pumped as a gamer to finally get my hands on Silksong in a few days. Intrusive thought: what will they price this game at that will probably be even bigger than Hollow Knight? If ever an indie team could price an indie game higher, it's them right. I'm hoping it's at least 40,

If you're maining Kris, is Pax West best PAX? Does he do a panel at Unplugged as well, or should I really aim for West to be my next again? (East was fun, but no untitled panels there 😬)

GOAT Lego MOC creator 2bricks is doing a sale on his top selling MOCS and during the sale all proceeds go to the Gaza formula fund. youtu.be/-td9LLa60Iw?... He also made a design specifically for this sale, which Rebrickable removed because it was "too political".

they have streetview cars now in American Truck Simulator??

Did something new (/old) today

I feel like this is what could happen with a lot of indie devs if their first game blows up immensely. Not scale up like crazy, just make a next game and take your time to make it better. Also, better move up my Hungry Ghost deadlines to September 3

That's me, snorting out coffe through my nose. Good morning

New top spot for rarest specialized game controller. ❤️

!

Kind of reminds me of when I used to stream. What I liked best was making videos for "brb, grabbing a drink" moments. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJF1... Realizing this is probably what made me switch to video/YouTube. 😅

This is so cool. But I also wonder what the whiplash is like between the live action cutscenes and the pixelart game that seems colorful and with light shadows.

Wow. This is a true showing of character. People I know who make VR games say most of their sales come from Meta, so taking a stand so I imagine not releasing on there will have a definite financial impact for them. Going to poke my friends-with-VR to show them some love on Steam.

Huh, it took me a while to buy anything on there (account active since August 18, 2004 (When it was just a launcher for Half Life)).

On this day in 1945 a brave Danish Dutch diplomat drove his car into a Japanese concentration camp and saved my grandmothers and thus my life. A thread. It is August 15th 1945, my grandmother and her daughter (2 years old) are prisoners in Japanese concentration camp Lampersari.

I secured a Jovi original of my OC (ok it's the protagonist from my game, but I've spent 4 years with them, might as well call em that) to enrich my socials with. If you're envious, commission slots remain! Jovi drew the expression I wanted perfectly: determined with a hint of fear!

And coming to Europe in a few months if we don't get politicians to change their mind.

AI is moving wealth from the people to the super-wealthy at a record pace

Confirmation that Yesterdreamt is going to be in its first festival come September! So excited!! 😍

Furthest I've been measuring from hometown (in Belgium): N: Joensuu, Finland E: Tokyo (/Narita (airport)), Japan S: Los Angeles (I haven't really been South yet 😅) W: Something on the 101... Forks, WA / Eureka, CA?

I don't know how to properly intro a 5 hour video someone spent 2 years making to debunk every claim made by transphobes and lay bare that most of the "studies" they base claims on are made by a handful of people and riddled with red flags. Sobering and not a pleasant watch, but perhaps useful
