RIP to the legend @burgerbecky.bsky.social <3 Please donate to her funeral costs: www.gofundme.com/f/help-rebec...

Rebecca was one of the founders of Interplay and programmed & designed for some of the most influential games of my youth, notably Bard's Tale I & III and Wasteland. She will be missed.

It's crazy that this talk of "middle ground" is about cutting corners and take people out of the creative process instead of how the use of ML could have enhanced the game. which ARC has that middle ground in its ML trained procedural animation!!

finished another new and epic puzzler game finally! this one's a cool little battleship clone where you gotta suss out spaces on the board with dice patterns. check it out :) www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/... #newgrounds #gamedev #indiegame #gamemaker

finally got my big post out on rhythm game critique thanks to @lunaendlesswitch.bsky.social's request! in this, I cover four main ways that I analyze rhythm games, with guiding questions for each that you can use in your own reviews, plus plenty of examples. link below!

#MagentaHorizon #indieDev #ActionGame #ScreenshotSaturday I heard people didn't put this boss on the top tier because it was quite boring. Anyway, here's a sneak peek of the going-to-be-updated hardest difficulty variant. Hope you like bullet hell.

Zeiram! Inspired by the Iria series. Always loved the design from Keita Amemiya :) #digitalart

Consider that, whoever did this, is more passionate about this maligned game that died in a few weeks that you are for your favourite games that you played for years.

we wanted to make samus’s experience as a capable woman more realistic, so we gave her an annoying man who thinks that he’s funny and constantly telling her what to do

I do wonder why valve is trying to sell the steam machine as a 4k/60fps capable device, even with FSR doing some heavy lifting that feels like overselling considering the specs fluctuate between being better and worse than a PS5. A lot of contemporary titles simply won't run like that.

The successor to GZDoom is out now, after GZDoom's lead developer decided to start 'vibe coding' with AI. For those worried, this should perform EXACTLY the same as GZDoom. Probably better, and with improving compatibility as there's more people actively working on it and listening to the community

With remasters doing ugly smooth filtering where pixels become eldritch horrors I dunno why companies don't resort to spending some time doing an ok CRT filter instead It doesn't need to go hard on trying to make an accurate CRT experience, even just a simple scanline filter can be transformative.

This animation stutter/skip that happens in map load triggers (?) in Soul Reaver remastered is driving me insane I checked the PS1 version through duckstation to see if I was just misremembering but no, this doesn't seem to be OG behaviour.

Revisited American McGee's Alice this halloween and fell in love with its visual, audio & narrative again but also found new appreciation for how the team applied their 90s FPS lineage into an early attempt at a 3d action platformer despite the jank that came with it. backloggd.com/u/Isaka/revi...

It's Yoshiyuki Tomino's birthday! Share your favorite image of him

It's recently come to my attention that someone made a fake UZDoom website. DO NOT CLICK IT! The only official website for UZDoom is ZDoom dot org and the ONLY official place to get future UZDoom downloads would be the official UZDoom Github page! Stay safe out there y'all [Boosts appreciated]

i just posted my first scripted essay in six years

A way better discussion than I was expecting from what is an overdone topic at this point, especially the part where self-curation is more important then ever But what exactly are we comparing when we mention that a trillion games get released on steam every year? www.youtube.com/watch?v=ult4...

keep getting distracted by this final world series game but I eked out two quick playthroughs of clock tower over the last couple of days! disorienting, inscrutable, unwilling to give answers, it's a surprising early horror title and still resonates. link below!

New video on the channel! I do a deep dive to explain why the 7th generation of gaming is actually the most futuristic console generation. Enjoy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVrX...

Utterly surreal thing to wake up to!!!

Yesterday my friends and I got in a terrible life-threatening car accident. While we walked away with no bodily injuries, my car is totaled. As a Behavioral Technician that travels between counties for work, reliable transportation is needed. Any donations or shares are appreciated ❤️

I wonder how much they will be able to achieve with the new artstyle compared to the impressive 2d art of the original game but gameplay wise it is hard to think of a dev as fitting to make a sequel to Darkwood as ice pick lodge.

in light of the ridiculous refusal by microsoft to denounce the use of imagery from halo in ICE recruitment advertising, I'm uploading this slidedeck from my OOP/software systems class from last fall that gives a primer on Linux, its history, main distributions, and how to navigate the command line

youtu.be/9Ee-omDsNi0 Now that the project is no longer in the hidden state, I'm happy to announce that this is a project where I worked as a 2D animator for the enemies and NPCs. You like Shin Megami Tensai? Probably it's up to your ally.

If you need a short replacement for Ninja Gaiden 4 for the MS boycott reason (which is completely justified btw), my game is right here: store.steampowered.com/app/2109060/...

Of the unfinished paintings I have this Shin Getter is probably the one I'm proudest of even in this state

big gothic castle in quake from last year. didn't make it for any other reason than I was using it to make new textures and enjoying myself.

It's crazy Gzdoom became so prevalent it is now being used in commercial projects yet Zahl still acts like this Such an important part of Doom modding history yet the creator doesn't know how to be humble.

TF2 GOT A DUSK MAP?!

Citadel and storm

you heard about dark woke now get ready for

It's crazy to think this is the most well respected gameplay mechanic in the industry and it first showed up on freaking movies.

didn't know if I'd ever return to this game but I've come away with a new appreciation for it as a jaw-dropping technical feat in the early days of ps2 and a fascinating combat system pre-DMC. link below!

REALLY feeling this one today.

store.steampowered.com/app/2109060/... The game is going through the Autumn sales season. Not 30%, but 40% price cut. That's even cheaper than, uhhhhh, a bag of two-days-worth groceries. Anyway you should get this one for the poor dev who has to face the winter night alone in a foreign place. 🥺

The most accurate recreation of DS9 I've seen.

Microsoft will no longer allow Israel to use its cloud services to enable its mass surveillance of occupied Palestinians – "the first known case of a US technology company withdrawing services provided to the Israeli military since the beginning of its war on Gaza"

We need to go back to games being cruel.
