Yesterday one my snails died and I'm too sad to do anything.

I just watched someone put mustard on a pizza and now I have to rewrite The Will of Arthur Flabbington because I have found a bigger enemy than pineapple

Hey, in 10 days it's turning 2 years old! Time flies! 🕐🪰🪰 store.steampowered.com/app/2174720/...

Failure: Your app and/or store page appears to incorporate the likeness of real people. ...you mean THIS THING?

That's, like, every single one of my characters

I have a friend who once wanted to play all NFL-licensed videogames. The process was maddening.

3.5/7, 12th place out of 24, performance rating 1685. If a psychic told me it would end like this, I'd have laughed. This is the first time I'm happy about my chess 😄

Currentl at my first FIDE rated Rapid Chess tournament and I'm 3.5/6, which is WAY beyond my wildest hopes. Even if I lose the last turn I had one hell of a run.

I saw a clearly scammy AI generated product on FB and I clicked just for laughs, to see what else that site was offering. Now my timeline is BOMBARDED with these things. And you know what? I'll be clicking them all to make them waste ad impression money.

I'm starting to hate Steam. They complain that the store page for my new game is "too similar to The Will of Arthur Flabbington", I explain why an early TWoAF appears in the compilation, they accept it. And then they raise THE SAME COMPLAINT for the build. Did you even read what I wrote?

And now that the jam is over, I can finally release a fixed version. @kinigames.bsky.social your name has finally been corrected 😄 gugames.itch.io/eulogy/devlo...

Also, it's the sixth year in a row that Italy takes a top-2 spot 😂 I won in 2020, got 2nd in 2021, then @lrzbn.bsky.social won in 2022 and got 2nd place in 2023, then a double with @duckmadeofwood.bsky.social as 1st and me as 2nd in 2024, and now another 1st place in 2025 ITALIANS DO IT BETTER

I'm honored for the 1st place but most importantly I'm proud of sharing it with @shdon.com - his games have always been among my favorites in every jam, I'm glad to see him get a well deserved top spot.

I'm not usually affected by the death of someone I don't know personally. But the passing of GM Daniel Naroditsky really hit me hard. He was my favorite chess content creator and he seemed like a genuinely good person. Also, he was so young. I'm devastated. Rest in peace Danya ♟️

Here I am needing help from the AGS gurus once again. IsSpeechVoxAvailable() always returns false, and I have no idea why. I put a couple of files in the Speech folder, built, and I have a speech.vox file along with my executable.

The demo for Uncle Lee's Cookbook is OUT NOW, and has a new trailer! With a song! 🎙️🎶 Explore the town of [redacted], where it's spooky season all year round. Fully voiced, featuring @magandamarie.bsky.social, @nicholascamm.bsky.social, @sallybeaumont.bsky.social. store.steampowered.com/app/3777930

Last 7 days! Can't wait to see the results. My personal favorite? @shdon.com 's "Intern's First Day", followed by moumix's "Double-0-Oops!".

...what? My guess is that Steam just saw I had a bunch of exe files and feared I'm redistributing other people's games. I hope they accept my explanation that goes "wtf are you talking about it's 100% my intellectual property"

It's #TrailerTuesday, so here's a sneak peek at my new project. All my jam games into a single collection, 10 games... and more to come! At least 5 hours of pointy and clicky fun! Adventure Jampilation, soon on Steam 😁 Music by @bertrandguegan.bsky.social (check out his music packs on itch!)

This is what I had to fix so far. One game started with an inventory object that the player shouldn't have. One game just LOST THE PLAYER CHARACTER. Like, all files. One game lost all the music. One game's blocking scripts became non-blocking. On code I haven't touched in years.

"It's going to be a quick thing - I just take the executables and put them as they are, wrap them with a launcher and call it a day" Biggest lie of the century.

On my quest to turn my jam games into a Steam compilation, another enemy appears: the Steam overlay! It just won't show up on Unity games if I launch them from the .exe, which is something I have to do because there's 10 and the main application is a launcher. But at least achievements work now!

On my quest to adding Steam achievements to my jam games I hit another wall. For some reason I lost part of the code for Nebraska Smith. There was no player prefab. I had to remake it and now music won't start. Also this reminded me why I left Adventure Creator after just one game.

Update: it seems like the AGS plugin is not being loaded at runtime, and that's why my achievements don't work. I made a new plugin that crashes the game on purpose and it worked only twice, then it doesn't get loaded anymore and I have no idea why. I'm on AGS 3.6.0

Help re: AGS and Steam On Godot/Unity you pass the app id at init time and you can set achievements from the engine run. They work even if you run the game from the exe, but achievos in my AGS games only work if launched via Steam. I need to be able to set them "from outside". Is there a way?

Since it turns out you can do it, I'm going to publish all my jam games into a compilation on Steam... for free! 10 games (and counting) for the price of zero! However I don't think I want to port my AGS games so it's going to be a Windows only bundle. Sorry, penguins and apples! #indiegamedev

I don't know what's going on with @itch.io but I already had to ban 7 people from my most recent game's comments because they were spamming about an "updated version". This is the first time it happens.

Has anyone released a game on Steam that is actually a compilation of many separate games? I'd love to put my jam games in there, but I can't merge them into a single exe, so I'd have like a launcher as main exe but then it's just 10 separate games. Does anyone know if it can be done? #indiegamedev

Hoy Viernes de Miniaventuras os espero a las 22:30 para probar dos juegos, hechos ambos en la Adventure Jam de 2023. · The queer night of Miro · No rest for the wicked www.twitch.tv/1leafonthegame

lil' Henry and Penny's Big Adventure Pack Now with a RELEASE DATE!!! October 28th. Just in time for some spooky Halloween fun! Mark your calendars! #indiegame #pointandclick #FamilyFun store.steampowered.com/app/4006320/...

Another two-week adventure game jam? I'd say "sign me in", but I'm not a Visionaire user and I don't know if I have the energy to learn it in such a short time right after the last jam. Still, I'm gonna play all entries for sure! itch.io/jam/made-wit...

Since 2022 I've exclusively been using fonts by @somepx.com in my games. They look great and they have all diacritics, which was vital for translation. He currently has a bundle on itch with 40 fonts for 40 dollars. Check it out. itch.io/s/158296/40-...

Eulogy for Nonno is rapidly becoming one of my most downloaded games on itch. I doubt it will ever surpass No Rest for the Wicked because 1) that one won a jam with 300+ participants and 2) it shares the name with a much more popular game so it ended up in a lot of searches, but still it's nice.

So, it turns out I forgot to add the discounts for Steam Autumn Sale. I did now, so if you want to check out my games, they're 35% off. store.steampowered.com/search/?deve...

My daughter and I build a LEGO contraption and she wants to show it to the world.

So, uh, we found out our snails laid more eggs than we thought and we're now at 80+ snails, and there are still at least 50 eggs that haven't hatched yet.

Watching @villainyvs.bsky.social play Arthur Flabbington was fun, but this was definitely the highlight of the evening www.twitch.tv/villainyvs/c... It's reactions like this that motivate me to make more games 😂

See, this is why point and click adventure is the best video game genre

Aren't they the cutest thing ever? 🐌❤️

What a day. Went for NMR, found out I have a broken bone, and our snail eggs hatched

Went for an NMR. The machine is very loud so they give you noise cancelling headphones with music. I just wished they asked you if you have requests.

It's the 4th time I join the $1xx Adventure Game Challenge. I skipped 2022 and 2023 because I was busy with Arthur Flabbington, but in 2022 I was a judge. Here are the four opening screens of my entries from 2020, 2021, 2024 and 2025. It's nice to see how my style evolved. #109AdvChal

I don't know what happened, but my Reddit profile just won't work. I feel like I've been shadowbanned or something, I can't post, I can't change my avatar, my comments get marked as deleted.
