Just wrapped playing through Twilight Princess - never played it fully through the first time on GC (was still mourning the loss of Wind Waker's aesthetic 😭) so was such a treat to play through a new (to me) classic Zelda. The dungeon design is *magnificent*.

All set up at @arcfestivallondon.bsky.social! Come find us at Unit 8, Copeland Park, London this weekend!

Hey indie peeps. I'm going to be doing Kotaku's Indie Penance Day on Friday July 3 this year. If you have an upcoming or recently released game that deserves eyes, please email me at [email protected] with the subject "INDIE PENANCE 2026", and include a store link and YouTube video. Rules follow.

Just finished Super Scram Kitty on Switch! Such a blast from start to finish - a great blend of unique mechanics with a wonderful flow, its got so many clever twists on the core play as you progress. Grab it while it’s hot! www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/...

Almost absurdly reasonable and nuanced take from Doctorow that still boils down to "AI centaurs basically fine, limited; AI reverse centaurs unwanted capitalist orgy of self-destruction" arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026...

Drone photography creating a wonderful illusion! Shooting during early morning or late afternoon with the low sun is necessary to project shadows that are elongated and darkly defined! The black cast of shadows from the giraffe are amazing.

Please point me in the direction of an artist who can absolutely nail the 90's "graphics software" box art style! My Replicube-like sequel "TurtleCAD 3D" is in need of a logo + key art in this style! paid opportunity ofc! #gamedev #illustrator #graphicdesign #90s #computergraphics

Wrote a massive post about Pin-Crawl's gameplay and how the roguey elements come in to play! store.steampowered.com/news/app/351...

The *very* long journey to Kyoto (and BitSummit) begins!

We just made the Midgame Fund agreement public. midgame.fund/terms The money TL;DR is: - Devs pay investors back from the game's revenue after it releases (if ever). - 75% of revenue pre-recoup. - 25% of revenue post-recoup, until 6 times the investment or 5 years after release.

This is looking *awesome*!

Amazing team making something wonderful!

Ah just found out an emulator on SteamDeck I was using has been compromised by a Russian hacker and I have the compromised build installed. Now need to re-image my deck 🌚

I love how in One Piece it’s really confusing how powerful some devil fruit powers are, like a guy that can make a biscuit appear when he claps his hands sounds cool but not THAT threatening. And yet…
