given that there's a contact sensor in the ball, i think the world cup broadcasts are missing an opportunity to implement screen shake

I’m happy to announce the release of a new open source 3D physics engine called Box3D. I’ve been working on this project for a few years now, but it represents over 20 years of experience writing physics engines for games. Read more here: box2d.org/posts/2026/0...

just look at it 🥰

Baby Steps is 50% off! You’ve got no excuse now!

You want people to quit your game in misery and frustration for the *right* reasons

I wrote a manifesto for making games, and (not) selling them, for #manifestojam illomens.itch.io/no-one-is-go...

I love how the presence of random saunas in games, even in buildings that don’t have kitchens or toilets (Alan Wake 2, My Summer Car, INFRA) is the signifier of ‘this game is set in Finland’. I wish there was an Australian equivalent

Oh nice, they made the @despelote.game GDC talk free! Awesome talk - 99% of attendees rated it ‘excellent’ gdcvault.com/play/1035816...

I'm a huge fan of @foddy.net's work, and I'm just so tickled that my first-ever conversation with him was mostly him gushing about how good Super Mario Sunshine (his favorite Mario, and mine) is, why, and how it's informed his work over the years.

868-BACK: oh no this is the most addictive shit ever

so happy to see this, been a long time since the last Michael Brough masterpiece

hey folks - we're doing the Unearthed Treasure Room stream again next week, on June 3rd on each of our youtube channels!! see this thread for more info:

Nice writeup on Baby Steps as walking meditation, by the head writer for the Onion tricycle.org/article/baby...

tomorrow is 10 years of soft body, let it be known. I’ll release the soundtrack for free or something! Also could post some thoughts here and there about the game. zekevirant.bandcamp.com/album/soft-b...

Gabe's Baby Steps GDC level design talk just got set to free - obviously I'm biased but the session feedback scores were also off the charts. Recommended: gdcvault.com/play/1035806...

An all-time great video game moment. I'll be thinking about this for years. It's right up there with surviving Hell in Spelunky, one-shotting O&S in Dark Souls, and beating @danryckert.com's disgusting Mario Maker creations.

it’s weird to me that americans love close finishes in sport but hate draws. A draw is the closest finish possible!

Trapped by sausages! increpare

Titanium Court is out tomorrow. Read our review from @zaaack.bsky.social: "With hypnagogic pop spinning throughout, it’s a good feeling of lurid. A puzzle box you’re getting your fingernails into."

1991 was a year for a big wave of games that finally brought coherent, original audiovisual aesthetics to 16-bit platforms: Another World, Sonic the Hedgehog, Monkey island 2, and Gods. Nobody remembers Gods, partly because the ports are terrible, but it rules.

Given how hard it was to get into GDC sessions this year (indie soapbox, for example, had only roundtable seating and fit less than 100 people out of 25000), it feels cruddy that they no longer give vault access to folks with a conference pass.

Game Of All Time, honestly, and it’s currently 80% off

Happy 10th Birthday to Stephen's Sausage Roll! 🎉

is incredibly good

amazing run. I was authentically astonished! www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQx_...

Someone modded their VTuber character into Baby Steps! There's a nexusmods link in there in case anyone else wants to figure out how to do the same thing with other models <3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jsou...

What if we had to physically walk the entire time we walked in the game? What if it didn’t end until we reached the mountain? And what if our viewers could help or hinder our progress…? Watch as we stream BABY STEPS to completion on Saturday March 14 at Noon PT. This could suck.

absolute banger

Zipper rules

We're starting up a new issue today, beginning with @youmeyou.bsky.social on Baby Steps. bulletpointsmonthly.com/2026/02/04/m...

These devs make games about climbing - I sent them up a mountain in Peak www.jank.cool/three-game-d...

Is there any animator out there who will deny this?

Clair Obscur was great but it wasn't the only incredible game last year https://kotaku.com/baby-steps-awards-gdc-igf-2025-goty-2000660694

Now that I have published this interview with @foddy.net and @gcuzzillo.bsky.social about Baby Steps, maybe I can finally move on with my life and stop thinking about it?? who knows www.theguardian.com/games/2026/j...

post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers, and which also rules

Prepping this week's episode on autobiographical games, and it really is criminal that Despelote hasn't reached more people. Not just because it's important. But because it's ridiculously fun and moving.

hey my fave game from IGF judging is announced at last! AP Thomson is a d(er)anged genius and inspires me to make more of my own, more personal work. everyone even vaguely interested in roguelikes or fae should play: store.steampowered.com/app/2364580/...
