The 2-Player Plundercore Photography Prototype 4 Paradise just got a big ol' update! - New Level! - New and revamped camera modes! - Portals between levels! - Probably new bugs! It's a slapdash project full of jank and horrible coding practices but it's been much fun ❤️ jwest.itch.io/2pppp4p

even after years working on this game, sometimes we just open it and run around the mountain together #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

i saw this window the other day and tried finding a smooth path up to it #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev #parkour

here’s how to wall ride in our game, “pondlife: discone (a videogame)”. let us know if you have any questions =) #screenshotsaturday (oops) #indiegame #gamedev

how it started vs. how it's going. (yeah the second half is the game audio). #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

pondlife: discone (a videogame) is a skateboarding game with no skateboard. it's also a golfing game. where you are the ball. #skate #climbing #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

for the last day of #mermay.. 𝓬𝓸𝓪𝓵𝓮𝓼𝓬𝓮𝓷𝓽 || 𝓽𝓲𝓭𝓪𝓵 𝓻𝓪𝓹𝓽𝓾𝓻𝓮 is a hypnagogic 3D swimming/sex adventure game. In a world of merpeople who are transforming and discovering casual relationships, you play as a floater who's just been dumped and refuses to evolve. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame

in "pondlife: discone (a videogame)", you really can (try to) climb anything. we mean it. if you fall, there's another way up that's just as exciting. #discone #walk #climbing #cute #folk #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

Your space for all things game dev, zines, art, and more in Naarm. A place that belongs to everyone, where everyone can belong. Come to Sabby!

Messing around with unity's built in post-processing effects as "camera modes" for the mario photography sim thing

Played this at GDC and it's great. Truly expressive in that you determine your own ways of interacting with the world and its physics system. Impressive sim philosophy applied to a platformer.

I'm happy to announce my game Onto Maizilind Unto Infinity, a political horror game about the Iranian Revolution and the end of the world, will be releasing this August on Steam and Itch. Watch the teaser trailer here -> youtu.be/N6X9nOdme8k?...

in pondlife: discone (a videogame), you can jump & surf on anything. there's no hard distinction between wall or ground. there's also no combo meter or trick button, you move your character (her name is icecream) and make it all up. #discone #jump #climbing #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

🏆 The Digital Moment Award goes to: Some Goodbyes We Made by Safe Flight Games, Joey Schutz @goodbyegames.bsky.social

THIS SUNDAY 2-6 @ Cooper Park!! We @boshis.place are running some outdoor games! I’m helping out this weekend :) Come!!! It’ll be fun!!

real nice coverage of this year's GDC and especially the Boshi's Place event and the Experimental Game Showcase (which i was interviewed for!) from a local independent San Francisco publication

Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who attended, organized, helped, and showed their work at the Boshi’s X Syzygy FREE RANGE INDIE GAMES show! I had a great time organizing it with everyone <3 Stay tuned for an itch.io page with the show’s games!

Glad I was there for this magical moment with you and @mut.media

for those who may have missed it, i'm running a class @boshis.place this summer on games & adaptation (looking mostly at movie tie-in games, and reading adaptation theory from people like jameson, hutcheon, baudrillard, etc) more info below! :)

Join us for the Bundle of Joy release party on April 2nd, 7PM EDT at boshi's place! Come celebrate with developer Essay Games (@essaygames.bsky.social) and play the game! Come hang out, take care of baby, try not to reach a breaking point (in-game), and take a break at the coloring station.

Seeing this event happening at GDC this year felt like finding green shoots in a dessert, or a pilot light still on in an engine. I hope folks are going and giving all the weird computer culture kids some love 🌱

competing for most words, as usual

Pondering the depths and delights of 'plunderludics' in tapecaria

I wanted to address some misconceptions about myself. There's been claims and about teledog like "teledog isn't real", this is false. Truth is I've been in New York partying with Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Come see me hanging with the Boshi folks at the game showcase on today only at Sabby

@follysoft.bsky.social made a cute mod to imagine the character, with involvemnt of young developers full of imagination! jwest.itch.io/imagine-the-...

Im quoted in this article explaining Plundercore and Plunderludics. It does a good job connecting it with the broader idea of games vs metagames, and to the current political moment. give it a read!!

what's a good android game

From @bigflan.bsky.social's yuri lowell prints a gun to plundercore and plunderludics. I wrote an introduction to videoludic détournement for The Bunker magazine, with comments from @johnleeerg.bsky.social and the plunderludics working group (Mut, Gurn Group, @jwhop.bsky.social) [article in EN]

One of these jumps has aged much better than the others, but they all have their charms 🙂

Some of my very favorite videogame work of the last few years (and Tapestry is even an IGF finalist this year!) I was thrilled to see some of their exhibitions in person at @boshis.place last year. Don't miss this v fun conversation: bsky.app/profile/eggp...

*taps mic* Coercive gender mandates are absolutely immoral and a violation of fundamental rights. The government should never be in the business of dictating how each individual relates to and aligns with structures and systems of gender. That's entirely up to you and always will be.
