attention WORLD!!!! you have MISSED your chance to be the first person to post a baby steps fanfic to ao3 archiveofourown.org/tags/Baby%20...

Did you know that you can just make weird gurgling noises when @keziaa.bsky.social gives you a big enemy called "Momthership"? #gameaudio

I'll be at TCAF showing off my darling shapes! Come by and say hi!

honestly a thousand poxes upon scarlet hollow for causing me to be annoying at social gatherings. "you should play scarlet hollow" <- phrase that your friends wont like

You can check out Revertices hot 'n' fresh new demo for #SteamNextFest - you get to play as all three characters and be grinded into a paste by unspeakable bosses. SHAPES NOW

happy pride month. i have managed to be a lesbian for another whole year

epic smallbu moment

The legend of Dirty Rectangles continues... Long ago, James, Liam and Kezia travelled from the city of Ottawa to Toronto. After a long, perilous, journey they found what they sook. A thriving game development community calling out for a monthly show & chill. And so the saga continues...

yaaaaay indrani

play my shapes, boy

i dont LIKE MARKETING

section from the scarlet hollow episode 4-5 devlog regarding players sending hate mail over getting locked out of episodes 6 and 7 for using a hacked worldstate (which, while specifically about video games, is definitely relevant to fandom in general)

i cant believe how much joy and fun we had making worm boyfriend, which is presently an extremely janky experience that does not work. BUT YET!!! something very very beautiful :) ON TO THE NEXT!

ToJam done!! Please enjoy Worm Boyfriend snotwurm.itch.io/worm-boyfriend

you gotta tap into my novel-writing method: do 70k words. dont write any climaxes. get stuck. write 30k of some other bullshit. solve the plot for the novel abandoned before this one. rope someone into alpha reading. suddenly regain the ability to work on the project. repeat.

do NOT send 4 angry emails!!!!

i keep playing qud at work and being like when i go home and start ACTUALLY playing qud. and then i look at short form video content because im sick in the head

🪱🪱🪱

the FACT that you can just start a run out of the box with burrowing and walls casually do not apply to you is one of many reasons i have to play this game forever

This game can ALWAYS be yuckier. ( @revertices.bsky.social ) #gameaudio #gamedev

me doing Revertices level art: "this game can always have more corpses"

The sims 3’s popularity has more to do with how it overlapped with the final leg of personal computer adoption and less to do with being a good game. It just so happens you were ten when it came out and your cousin let you play.

emailling pepperidge farms to ask them to make a beet-only edition of the goldfish colors

getting an alert in the biz dev channel only to find this

a hill i would happily die on is that clickable thumbsticks are an unnecessary point of mechanical failure, result in unintended inputs, and are a huge RSI risk and they shouldn't be standard.

i did this room's decor!!!! ehe

Flashback to the time I created Judith Butler as a custom wrestler in WWE 2K24 (complete with a ring announcer call-out). Straight from the WWE Gender Performance Center!

There could come a day when you are tasked with (god forbid) porting or localizing your game. For your sake on this day, do not do things such as bake PC specific language (any language really) into say, the art of your UI

whenever you talk about being in game dev ppl are like "wow i bet its great to play video games all day" and you have to explain "that part actually sucks the worst............ except sometimes"

oh that brief ever brief sexy period of time when it was my job to play qud at work. and now its my job to what??? send emails?

absolutely incredible read--the hits do not stop coming

You should TESTING YOUR GAME WITH A CONTROLLER!!! Please!! For the love of god!!!

Boss asked me where I find new music the other day I was like I don’t. I’m listening to Tommy Makem and the Clancy brothers. And I’m not even exploring their discography

death of the author is intended as a framework for literary analysis that entails disregarding paratext and the intentions of the creator in order to create an "objective" analysis of a text. it's not intended as a way to absolve yourself of guilt for financially contributing to a creator who sucks

i dont want to work i want to play scarlet hollow

it's pretty cool to see an administration made entirely of scheming viziers

After about seven days of trying to assist people in the sims discord with a catastrophic update, I’m sorta horrified by the current state of computer literacy. This is very bad

i dont mean to victim blame here but if you have a smart fridge you are. for lack of a better term: a sucker

Dig up Jack Welch and kill him again

There was a time when this would be considered an incredible failing of management, a deep stain of embarrassment. But now it’s just “business”

everyone in the games industry understands this with no added context

this particular cycle is being carried out at smaller scales by everyone from small FTP games to social media sites - in this economy of nagware and "ask me later" a little respite seems to be all anyone can hope for

Oh my god this is the very definition of the gleeful fun time I just had playing sims [deleting excess swatches in custom clothing]

Iron deficient? Try Revertios today! 500000000g of Iron in every bite!!! Now with Realistic Veins.
