I don’t know how people could say that programming and art are completely different disciplines when both workflows involve going ‘This will never work, I’m a failure’, changing one thing, then thinking you might be the smartest person alive

Got side-tracked by PAX/Games week stuff here and never posted pics of The Drifter Big Box that arrived! It turned out amazing. Here it is on my trophy shelf + a dorky selfie with it. More info here if you want one -> store.reboxy.net/p/the-drifter

Hey squad, keen to get a thread going of story driven video games because... they're great and I want to keep playing and supporting them. I'll start: The Drifter rules and it's the perfect game to play on the Nintendo Switch 2 IMO.

Been quiet about PowerQuest but I'm still making improvements while working on Telwynium. Just added some QOL tweaks for previewing character sprites in the scene and jumping into room/character art source files. Just little things to save some extra clicks here and there :)

25 years since this thing came out. I’m very fond of it, it’s possibly the most personal thing I’ve made and, if I’m allowed to be proud for a day, I’m rather proud of it. All 8 eps up on Channel 4. #TheArmandoIannucciShows #Ch4 #ABigEgg

played through the drifter again yesterday just to feel something (that something was immense love for everything about the drifter, a game 10000x more people should play)

Surely everyone uses: 1. Everything's coming up Milhouse 2. A little from column A... 3. You better run, egg! 4. Let's go to the old mill anyway 5. Monster Island is actually a peninsula

10 years in the making — we poured all our love into those pixels. Theropods is out now! store.steampowered.com/app/1091870/...

Our version of the main theme from Quest for Glory IV reimagines the gothic rock classic as a decidedly more Hetfield-esque speed metal affair. (It may not sound like it at first, but give it time.) youtu.be/0YEWvY6zAMc Download link in reply 👇

cannot stress enough how the elder scrolls games didnt hit for me that hard because so much of what people dug about them was already in this usage-based skills improvement, day night cycle, alternate storylines, to play this game when it came out felt like staring into the future
