How can my children sleep when they're hungry? My poor children fell asleep with tears in their eyes. No one hears us, no one helps me get them some food. I need $300. 😭🙏 chuffed.org/project/emer...

Please don't let the fear of not doing something well stop you from trying it for the first time. Write a messy story. Paint a crappy flower. Whittle the worst wooden bear of all time. The best gift you can give yourself is to have fun and grow.

You gotta be silly, dude. At least a little bit. You gotta have a spring in your step and a smile in your heart or else none of this matters

the CHORUS MACHINE demo is more or less finished. i’ve sent the game to a few friends for playtesting/bugfinding and also to garner their thoughts. my best friend had their younger brother play it, and, he called it “the dark souls of pixel games” <3

This this this this this! If your game has a surprise or twist you want to preserve for the player, it can oftentimes mean you end up with a trailer which isn't representative of the game and/or boring. This consult I did is a great example of burying the lede. www.derek-lieu.com/blog/2023/3/...

On long term projects, it's never about putting in your 100% effort on every piece Or Else You Will Die. It’s about making your 60% effort good enough. Good storytelling is enabled by constraint. Limitations force us to come up with more interesting solutions.

"look at this stupid online Gen z Tiktok meme speech" me: is it aave or genuine babbling them: trust me, it's genuinely stupid *i look *it's bastardized aave.

demonschool credits all 145 people who touched the game over the course of its multi-year dev cycle AND explains what exactly they contributed. the rest of the games industry, which commonly omits people from credits entirely, should be taking notes

Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

to make a video game is to constantly be thinking about what elements you need to put into place to trick people into thinking this emotionally troubled computer program you built is a real video game

Are you tired of being nice?

Alright! Let's actually talk about this waterfall thing. It is an amazing showcase of many things that I adore from late 90s/early 2000s graphics. I am replicating this in Blender through mere observation, so some things might not be fully accurate to the mind-boggling effects of the PS1.

GG remains so freaking good a writer. If you want to read an engaging, original fantasy story about a world where the wrong god won, or if you want to see the most beautiful gentle men you've ever seen get put into a clamp while a nice woman who's never done wrong spins the handle, this is for you

im still formulating my thoughts on chapter 3 but for now know that i fully stopped to take a picture of my laptop screen here because i shrieked

Can't stress enough how much fun I'm having doing procgen narrative on this game and making people root for terrible things to happen to babies and immediately regretting their cheers for a drug relapse or death by crop monster.

man it's a small thing but as a vn sicko this shit fills me with energy. game mechanics used in conjunction with narrative my beloved

i finished reading and im going to be thinking about this forever…….. oughhhhhhghhhh. so much to chew on

to all of my adult followers who have not played soulsov its about why trying to act passive and non-confrontational (in situations where you’re the one hurting) can make life so much worse for you. its about the relationship between religion and power and how it trickles down in our daily lives

i’m still reading but goshhh if you have not read soul of sovereignty you NEEED to get on this. gg’s writing is magical … i laugh i cry i gasp i swoon … and the music is incredible ……. Mmm Good Story

GG did amazing work as usual. I'm so excited for people to play the new chapter, this story continues to enthrall me. I did a lot of the music this time around! It is so fun to help GG and Toby continue to develop the musical side of Soulsov.

soulsov TODAY!!! nobody text.

for a long time my best strategy for working on the CM demo was to just put my head down and focus on the task directly in front of me instead of thinking of How Much Game there was left to make. except now the task directly in front of me is figuring out how to format the credits. which is scary

the only problem with young people today is that they never had to mentally negotiate the difference btwn a video game's box/booklet art and the sprites they would play as on the screen. i understood what Plato was talking about before i ever even heard of him thanks to DRAGON WARRIOR
