the first time in history this shit has happened. first time and it's on camera. what a privilege

Throwback to the Xmas when I spoofed mobile game ads too accurately, and no one clicked on the video.

cinco paus is my favorite game that i’m awful at

queso day 2: begin

oh my fucking god

they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/v... I remeber getting a call at CAA, from a very upset Vince and Jason. “Bobby is trying to take away the team’s royalty. Can you help?” It was such a hard time, and they were so strong for their team. He deserves better than this. It’s so sad.

wrapping up shopping to make 3 days’ worth of queso for the family. bringin that christmas magic

(mike d) Chag Sameach, it's time for (beasties) HANUKKAH (MCA):

Tis the season for indie game rec threads, and I'm no exception. Here's a bunch of games I absolutely love that are in the Steam Sale and are 100% worth picking up:

after literally years, ramen tatsu-ya finally brought back their original tsukemen and i got to eat it. i’m so happy dude

It's sometimes tough to test to see if a change actually fixes the issue in question. In this case, fixing the oscillations in the righting torque was easier if I toggled gravity on/off! The damping is turned on around the 10s mark, showing it cancel the sway. #gamedev #indiegame #solodev #unity3d

i’ve made every game in my career up to this point without genAI and i guarantee i can come up with dogshit ideas and worse implementation on my own just fine i didn’t get into this medium to have a machine suck _for_ me

really important video from pmg to the point where even complimenting it feels in its own way like a damning failure because this is a couple independent games journalists covering one of the most sophisticated systems of extermination in the history of humanity: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ybj1...

Manda somehow made entire mountains move with this project so you should try to make this one if you can ❤️

come watch us talk about high quality smut!

While the Hard Drive Game Awards Presented by Call of Duty Black Ops 7 may now be over, the indie games we showcased will last forever (or until capitalism eats them whole). Here's every game we were honored to show off. Go and wishlist them

calling all my TTRPG pals! my friend and I made a card game to turn character creation for new campaigns into a collaborative experience! Coming Jan 1st to itch and DriveThruRPG ⚔️

Let's GOOOOO!!!

The second team I've connected most with is the ever insane (positive) @strangescaffold.bsky.social, as I've been sucked into their orbit 4 times- with @writnelson.bsky.social being my first two time guest! Thanks to @gamedesigndan.bsky.social and @colin.how too, for making their weird ass games.

The fact that the games industry is so dead-set on disregarding Concept Art as being part of the game it helps make is eternally frustrating to me. If the slop machine extrudes a design for you that you then force an artist to make "real", that still means there's AI generated content in the game.

oh thank fuck

gita write good

the funny thing about all these anti “forced DEI” chuds is they can’t fathom a world where people actually care about concepts like diversity with any sort of earnestness

I am 100% pro Larian doing whatever pervert shit it wants and I can’t wait for another game where you can like, fuck a squid or whatever, but it really does further drive home the two-tier system of enforcement on storefronts. Bg3 contains basically everything small games get banned for

So, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.

making a tiktok for this game was tricky radiatoryang.itch.io/rainbows

Some choices are remembered forever… We are so excited to announce we are working with our friends at @dontnod.bsky.social on a very special collection for LOST RECORDS: BLOOM & RAGE. Launching early 2026…

snapped this pic of femtanyl right before she went out to join danny brown cuz she looked cool as fuck in the light of

Vote vote vote! Vote for Demonschool!

for anyone curious about the level gen stuff i've been doing, here's a crappy mspaint about how it works 1) pick a random direction 2) save every location you _haven't_ been to 3) when there are no directions left, go back to the last location you haven't been to 4) start a new snake and repeat 1

!NEW VID FINALLY HERE! I played 4 different Silent Hill mods for games that *aren't* Silent Hill (and they were actually REALLY good). From Garry's Mod to DOOM II, join me in my quest to see how the mod creators morph them into "Silent Hill". youtu.be/1atCCoIpSms

any godot wizards know why these models are getting affected by light differently? if we swap the texture to the dirt-only one it fixes it, but we've checked the texture and there's no color difference; it's literally just a layer of grass turned on and re-exported.

i'm really glad the game is coming out so soon because the silkposting like this is starting to get nuts

oops i forgor to get a magfest badge

The Avarice Awards holds a mirror to the hollow glamour of The Game Awards, as workers continue to have their livelihoods upended by mass layoffs. We are speaking truth to the powers ruining the game industry with their greed! Stream begins on December 10th at 7pm PT / 10pm ET on twitch.tv/UVW_CWA

We are so grateful to everyone who has tried Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator's demo so far. The response has been amazing. I never knew so many good people could get so angry at babies. It brings a tear to my eye and warmth to the right ventricle of my heart. Please keep shorting babies. TY!
