Hah ha get rekt ol musky and altman! Filling my "cyborg crab art" search results with ai slop only makes me MORE motivated to find the perfect art for my custom magic cards! 🕳️🤖🤛💨😤

Decks with 20 cards: Minimalist. Elegant. Exemplary. 35 cards: Not particularly optimised, but versatile while still being reliable... 50 cards: Hark! The Lord ought strike me down for my avarice! 125 cards: Far too much isn't even *close* to enough.

"Considering it an improvement to the source material should count as a mark against you in the Turing test." 🗑️🤖💨🤺 👏😭

Don't wanna go too galaxy-brain about this, but it's incredible to see the *literal 1st person perspective* of someone who thinks "I can safely endorse violent fascists, because the state specifically protects *me* from violence" suddenly being confronted with the truth.

Reason #99 why it's a GREAT idea to cameo as an NPC in your own game: When they randomly ruin your trailer shot, you have no one to get mad at but yourself 🙃 #indiegame #game #airplane #horrorgame

Every co-working space needs a full set of these flags.

Might not have been the most productive day for us at Liquid Static, but thanks to @enkirkpatrick.bsky.social I now know that if an animal can jump, you can kick it in the nuts! 🦵💥🥜 pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... #indiegame #NightPlane #SeriousProfessionalsAtWork

Code is liability. AI allows us to create tremendous amounts of liability very quickly

I mean yeah I should hope so, that's his job and he should be paid for it!

Can someone make an "extraction metroidvania" for me please? I wanna play Silksong with my Arc Raiders friends. Also if that isn't trendy enough already, I'm comfortable with adding friend-slop elements 💰📈✨🤔

Alright pack it up everyone. This robot's kick and pantomimed pain has made all sci-fi redundant from here on out.

very amused that to some folks this meme is my greatest contribution to game design

Me, reading math stuff on Wikipedia to learn about collision detection: "Woah all these cool sci-fi words like Hyperplane and Disjoint Convex Set are kinda intimidating, the people who come up with this jargon must be super smart..." *I nervously click through more pages of big brain math stuff*

When you replace 'less' with 'fewer', that's one less mistake.

Ever wanted to become a pilot just because they look so cool? Bad news! The best pilots look that way from birth!! 🧑‍✈️ store.steampowered.com/app/3310570/... #indiegame #game #airplane #horrorgame

Today's dumb pun that evolved into an intrusive thought: (Because with all the balloons it's not so heavy, get it?) (Also, stories about intergenerational friendships and critiques of masculinity are great for all ages)

When the ADHD meds hit just wrong and you spend your whole morning making Mr Burns themed magic cards instead of showering: 🤦

Byeeee Sydney 👋 SXSW was soooo fun and we are soooo eepy

SYDNEY!! The #SXSW Games showcase is FREE ENTRY today - come play some awesome games including Night Plane! We’ve got a jump scare tally going 👀 #sxswsydney

From the very first cave paintings humans have ached to see themselves reflected in the mirror of consciousness, to pass the world through a prism of common experience and make meaning from the threads of our shared humanity. Our entire economy now hinges on the idea that people don't

Just finishing up the demo build for NZGDC now! 💪🔥

Ah dang, I thought I had more time! Guess I should finally get around to finishing the first one. 😬

This is true Sci-Fi: •Narrative takes place in a hypothetical future •Scientific concepts (materials science) are elegantly woven in, and supports its themes •Explores ideas regarding human interaction, how it's influenced by technology, and how it's inseperable from social class •Ending is spooky

Full art/design credit goes to @enkirkpatrick.bsky.social Genuinely-held-dogshit-opinion credit all goes to me 😎

Check 'em outtt! 👀 We'll have a bunch of these to give away at Wireframe too! Choose your favourite character (we won't be offended - we know it's Acerola 🐱)

OMG A REPLY FROM CHIITAN! ILY!! 😍🥳 BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER!!!

Look! It's me! In the videogame! (For some reason there's nothing funnier to me than putting yourself as a silly character in your own stories, and I'll probably keep doing it for as long as I think it's funny. (I will never stop thinking it's funny.))

@frakirk.bsky.social offhandedly wondering if he should watch Noah (2014) me, activating like a sleeper agent:

This is literally just Roko's Basilisk for rich dudes 🤦

Scaling from the basics of using the Niagara system in Unreal Engine, tips for creating more dynamic VFX, and useful optimization tools, @pedroklein.bsky.social will give a welcoming introduction for developers new to using Niagara and provide deeper insights for those already familiar with it.

Funny how you just need to break some angles to turn kitchen environment into a spaceship.

"Switch 2" this, "Switch 2" that, why don't the youths "Switch 2" playing the Shape Sender Deluxe demo which is now available on Steam for a limited time only!

Can't wait for the spinoff with a "Not" gate added.

Game's going good btw #indiegames #gamedev

Being a digital artist is exhausting 🤷‍♂️

When I hear people describe themselves as content creators.

*Wearily adds to the "incredible game inspiration" pile* I know I'll lose at least one full weekend trying to make ~stardew valley + animal crossing + goblins~ because of this 🤣

I wrote this post about the illusion that indie is a 'superior development style' about a week ago and waffled on whether or not it was still relevant enough to post. Aftermath putting up a podcast on the same topic today convinced me to finally shove it out the door. auratriolo.com/blog/2025/01...

How your email finds me: #gamedev

Definitely the video I'm most proud of so far 🤣

This is legit an actual spoiler for the game lmao
