6) Arranger 🛝 A beautiful tile-sliding game with clever and varied use of its core mechanic, with a really accessible story to boot. This was pretty short (unlike the one I'll be playing next...) but enjoyable nonetheless, although I felt one or two elements were introduced, then used too briefly.

I only had time for two games because I scored this on the second. Had a ball 1 score of ~500k too. Not bad given that I haven't played this game for 30 years and the all time high score is ~1.5m!

Hey gamers! I'm thinking of creating a women-led luxury gaming magazine or book. I have a quick 4 question survey to gauge interest in it. Please fill it out even if it's a "not for me" it would be hugely helpful. Also please share so I can get more data! forms.gle/ZD9Gen7C4foe...

You can't teach by analogy alone, in the same way you can't learn another language using just a thesaurus.

Would you believe our game is built from basically just 1 texture?

Take a look at the full baking process as you follow Alva through the first dungeon floors, fighting a boss, farming, automating, baking, and crafting in Acornia: Mirror Worlds. #IGNFanFest

Some of the changes Valve are enacting ate good. (The calendar) or good for players who wanna 'eat more of what they already ate'. But showcases, events will be algorithming. Meaning players dipping outside their taste is gonna be a rarity. Which sadly is also a lot of what ails society.

Order of the Sinking Star is OUT NOW on Steam, Switch 2, PS5! I'm proud of the puzzle design and refinement work I've contributed over the past 3 years! So many talented and hardworking people have worked on this game for so long. And it's surreal it's finally out!! I think it's a special game. <3

I did it. It feels surreal. Feels like just yesterday I was drawing my own versions of Kirby powers, or Mega Man bosses, never imagining that I would actually put a game on a Nintendo console some day... www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro... #gamedev #indiegame #nintendoswitch #indiegames

As Order of the Sinking Star is coming out next month, in advance of review coverage coming in I wanted to add one thing to my last statement about the game: bsky.app/profile/drak... (note: at that time I didn’t have a separate personal account)

So, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.

The councillor who chairs Piddington Parish Council, near Bicester, says that yesterday’s stunt referendum – in which the village voted to leave the UK in protest against an asylum centre – was “an example of democracy in operation”. Tim McNally himself gained his role without a contested election.

Mario Kart 8 now has an eight-player mode, so by the law of extrapolation, Mario Kart World will one day have a mode letting you play everyone else in the world simultaneously.

Nintendo has conjured up an eight-player splitscreen mode for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, available now in a free update on Switch 2. https://bit.ly/4617OJu

Every time somebody suggests taxing the super rich, newspapers and TV pundits claim it’ll just drive rich people away. On the rare occasion those taxes are applied (like removing non dom status), the research generally shows the number of people leaving for tax reasons are negligible.

I could tell this was by the Tinykin people very soon into the trailer - has all the same charm and brilliant animation. Very excited about this!! 🎉
