Julia Minamata of The Crimson Diamond fame, discusses text parsers in games on the ever excellent Game Narrative Kaleidoscope Podcast: open.spotify.com/episode/5Ia0...

The last few events gave me a huge motivation boost. First test of a #framebyframe NPC animation sequence! Still not happy with the first/last transition, but I think the rest can stay. WIP: position, name & text not final. Scene zoomed in. #solodev #pointandclick #adventure

My game Pictopix is currently 30% off on Steam! 🧩 Feel free to share the news 🙂 #Pictopix #PuzzleGame #Nonogram #Picross #ピクロス #IndieGame

I know many of you woke up this morning hoping, "I wish I could have a terminal emulator as comprehensive as Ghostty, but with a settings panel and powered by Swift without compromising on the speed?" I got you fam: github.com/migueldeicaz...

Morgan Hetherington of 3D Retro Tributes FB group sent a box of 3D prints he modeled for me to sign for an MS charity drive. Really fun to hold physical reproductions of games I’ve worked on! Next, ship them to him in Ireland! #gamedev #retrogame #ZakMcKracken #RescueOnFractalus #ThimbleweedPark

Got my copy of The Drifter! 📭 😀 It comes in a beautiful box, the same size as the ones for Lucasfilm Games titles. I hope I'll find time to play it this weekend 🤞 #TheDrifter #Powerhoof #AdventureGame #PointAndClick #BigBoxGames @dave.powerhoof.com

Got my updated COVID and flu shots today because I prefer not dying and also fuck RFK jr and this whole willfully ignorant and malicious administration.

The Gospel of Awni teaches that you can give someone $15,299 in Claude credits and they can vibe code recipe apps for a month, or give them a 512 GB M5 Ultra and they can maintain their own Linux distro for life.

It's official! We're going to do a Thimbleweed Park 2 podcast. As soon as everyone's people talk to each other. In the meantime, the archived podcast series from #ThimbleweedPark 1 is now live again. You should be able to find it on your favorite podcast site (Apple, Amazon, Spotify).

Been working on this for a while, getting to add a proper notification overlay to knulli so users can get visual feedback of volume, brightness, battery/charging, notifications, etc. while playing. Soon in an alpha version knulli.org github.com/knulli-cfw #knulli #linux #retrogaming #emulation

We’ve also got some excellent contributions to the current Frontend to make it feel much faster 🤙😎🤙

What I’ve wanted since first starting #Zaparoo Frontend. Customisable hub page, move or hide items however you want. A tile can do anything ZapScript does. Link a game, a core, a folder, a random game from PSX and N64 combined that’s in French. Or don’t. You can keep it simple and change nothing too

This was an unexpected (and delightful) surprise! www.slashfilm.com/2232943/proj...

Apropos to an earlier post, today I'm thinking of the writer who assured a friend I'd never sell a novel, the day before I announced I had sold Old Man's War. I hope they're well. Also, here's my Astra Award for Best Science Fiction Book, which arrived to the house literally a few moments ago.

Ooh, my pixel art in a Switch 2 game? 🤩

Hoy a esta hora hace quince años pude ver en persona el lanzamiento del Atlantis en la última misión de los transbordadores espaciales de la NASA. Aún se me pone la piel de gallina al recordarlo. También pude hacer una foto histórica e irrepetible que fue la más vista de Flickr. ¡Qué tiempos!

What better way to celebrate the 4th of July than by getting a bunch of my novels, with a big chunk of your purchase price going to World Central Kitchen, my selected charity for this bundle. Pay what you like (the more you pay, the more you get), and help feed people in need all over the world.

It's good to see friends doing well.
