interview with the developers of cult classic PS1 game Kula World, 1998 Kula World was made by four dudes and didn't sell many copies but it's lived rent free in people's brains for decades

In 2025, I somehow managed to play over 150 video games. In this video, I’ve narrowed that down to my 10 favourite new releases and first-time plays, and answered some viewer questions! I also had a bit too much fun with the Premiere Beta... 📼 youtu.be/NZ556cVULAI

Perfect Tides: Station to Station, the adventure game my team and I've been crafting for the past 4 years, is OUT NOW!! And look, I even got you a weekend so you can play it. store.steampowered.com/app/2088810/...

me: I've been making this thing for almost ten years, there's just a few things left to do, I should keep it simple also me: if I tweak the AI a bit, I can make the enemies play football

I recently was gifted a CD ROM drive, so I’m christening it with this game

in riding good vibes where they come, i got reminded of when i got paid by NYmag (not to be confused with NYT) to write about christian sonic the hedgehog fandom back in 2020 and so i'm resharing it cuz i still like it nymag.com/intelligence...

This country makes me sick. There is a rot here that allows people to ignore and write off cruelty. The government is not just apathetic to violence, they relish it because they believe it makes them look strong, and this has been enabled by moral weakness among politicians and the media

Welcome to the 2026 Chariot Rider Media Thread, where I will be posting all of the stuff I read, watch, play, or otherwise experience

But of an odd year creatively for me. I didn’t get as much writing done as I’d have liked, but I made 12 games. Hopefully in the new year I’ll do more writing AND gamedev

Out of nowhere, a game called Enemy jumped out of the bushes and beat the hell out of me, please listen to the story of me beating it right back, in a weirdly downbeat quest to save a mystical video game land Reposts appreciated, enemy spotted youtu.be/X7EJAhQLn9o

I developed 12 games this year, so I made a short little showreel that shows everything off. Check it out, and if any of the games look interesting, give them a shot! I’d really appreciate it. youtu.be/gUL8d93BJXA?...

Every time a Zelda game comes out, there is an unavoidable conversation that pops up about its timeline. Not only do I find these debates boring, I think they ultimately pull us away from what this series excels at. Embrace the "Legend" of Zelda. It's better that way. nebula.tv/videos/kingk...

I adore Metal Garden. It’s one of my favorite games of the year, and now seems like a great time to check it out

The pacing of combat in BDD3 is really interesting, because Quake maps usually have me throwing myself into enemies and getting ripped apart unless I’m extremely careful. With the same mechanics, BDD3 feels very unique, and it’s a lot of fun to not have each level be a 15 minute slug fest like Quake

Finally released Dronelord Hyperviber my #7DFPS #IndieGame last night after 12 days work. Fast paced first person hoverboard bullet heaven action controlled only with mouse movement and left/right click. If the video is convincing it's available now on @itch.io hyphinett.itch.io/dronelord-hy...

So far, Angeline Era is shaping up to be one of my favorite games of the year. I’ve been thinking about it nonstop since I started it

Made a list of some of Christmassy/wintry gems on @itch.io that I enjoyed playing! syls.blog/small-christ...

great game by @farawaytimes.bsky.social download here www.glorioustrainwrecks.com/node/12513 www.youtube.com/watch?v=7V5p...

Angeline Era is a love letter to one of my favorite games: "WALKING", for the console "OUTSIDE"! AE's world mirrors the real world: Confounding, Mystifying... AE's also a Site of Reversible Destiny-like.Visiting in the rain was huge for the action design: melodicambient.substack.com/p/exploring-...

Sure, I’ll do this. This thread will have an eclectic mix of strange games from all sorts of backgrounds, and if that sounds interesting to you, keep scrolling

Took some time to unpack a few thoughts on Expedition 33. Watching what I thought was a "pretty good" game get transformed into A Cultural Object has been disheartening. So I have some thoughts on glitz, glamour, and respectability... transgamerthoughts.com/post/8027631...

I released a small game today! Antibody One blendogames.itch.io/antibody-one - you are a cell inside the human body - $1 - about 10-20 minutes long

More coverage of our 10,000 Game Assets Pack, this time on Dexerto. We really do appreciate all the support everyone is giving this - basically it makes the last year of working on it full time worthwhile & spurs us on to create more assets!! www.dexerto.com/gaming/indie... #gamedev #indiedev

I really like the health couch. The couch is a symbol of reprice, of restoring one’s strength, and pairing it with the ludic health replenishment symbol is pretty neat

I have had an existing patreon for the videos I make, but after a year where most of my creative output has been in the form of video games, I wonder if it might be time for me to think about how I handle patreon
