It is now 9 years since Sonic Mania came out 😱... another trivia nugget: at one point we had a screen that showed you the animals that were inside the Heavies giving them their personalities! It didn't make the cut (maybe didn't comply with brand guidelines or there wasn't enough time IDK)

Uni passed his final follow-up test, and he has fully recovered from his cystitis! It’s been a long few months, and now we’re just hoping it never comes back. Thank you all so much for your kind words and for caring about Uni! It really meant a lot to us!

Oh. It almost has been one full revolution already? We must prepare a celebration.

Lock-on targeting is getting another polish pass. We’re borrowing a little inspiration from a certain N64 game. #indiegame #gamedev

I saw this clip of an edgy Pokémon romhack where they put the delete save option first and it's the funniest/smartest thing ever for that type of game

I've upped the goal one last time!! Can we get this fund for out of work game developers to $250k in the next four days!?

In response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...

Don't forget. Don't mess it up. Crow Country is pretty great, more people should visit this absolutely not haunted abandoned theme park.

By the way, my X account is no longer mine. I have no interest in getting it back. If you're still on that network and that account is impersonating me, know that it's not me. The real me is here, on Tumblr and on that damn Instagram that I hate.

The chintzy-looking M64 clone console of the N64 by a company named ModRetro has been released, I think, I don't pay attention that closely to shit. But as the great @frankcifaldi.bsky.social posted before, it is our civic duty to push back against this company and shun ANYONE who doesn't.
