I wrote this rhythm game tutorial 10 years ago but it still helps people the most out of everything I've done. So I finally set up my own website to store it! fizzd.me/posts/how-to...

Holy shit, thank you fizzd from @adofai.7thbe.at for their killer tutorial; I managed to figure out an accurate metronome in Godot in an afternoon, and I'm an *idiot*. Just did this for a laugh, but very pleased. Music is @richaadeb.com 's cover of @undertale.com 's 'Knock You Down!!' by Toby Fox

Please check out this 25-minute documentary about developing the game and support the campaign if you're moved! Lately this feels to me like the most important game to get made. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXYI...

I really like this article from @ramiismail.com. Something i feel you can luck into if you're starting out and have lower standards or some other constraints, but need to be more aware of when you're more years in and have more freedom ltpf.ramiismail.com/75-20-5/?ref...

The bird talking to me while im tryna jump. Its so funny. Also i cant get enough of how the sounds of the jump and landing and cues all fit together with the music

Rhythm Heaven was the series that originally made me even be a game developer, thank you Osawa and Tsunku and team.. im so glad they all still got it (also whoever Youngseok in Top Gear is, they are hilarious)

Favourite minigame Skateboarding 2, and favourite remix Remix 9. Those double catches and the cue for it aaaahhhh. Also the miss sound for the bug catching make me laugh. Always peak sfx

Rasheed is literally risking his life for this game. Israelis could decide to capture, torture, or murder him at any point for daring to share the truth of the Nakba or Palestinian culture. He truly believes in games and their power to tell these stories. Please help his courage not be in vain.

I’m NOT excited and I’m NOT thrilled. I’m honestly scared to share this, but I’m not a coward. I have to show you what you helped us create. None of this would have been possible without your help, and we can’t finish it without your support www.launchgood.com/1948 youtu.be/D4qh1FAPEUo

If you ever looked at the Rhythm Weightlifter minigame from Rhythm Doctor Act 5 and thought "I wish I could play that on my phone..." ...it's your lucky day! Rhythm Weightlifter is out, for free, on iOS and Google Play! No music. No mercy. Just pure rhythm mastery. apps.apple.com/us/app/rhyth...

Cairn teaches me about the kinds of game design im not experienced with, of long term risks and rewards. In Celeste you collect strawberry for fun as an extra challenge, in Cairn you see a backpack with a honey dipper in a difficult detour, and you want it because

up to that point you have been scrounging for food to fill your ever-depleting hunger meter, and at any point you may be forced to reload an earlier save, so getting this could save your whole run and make life a lot easier. very different feelings for the same idea of 'an optional hard challenge'

This video expresses everything we've been going for wonderfully (and it was a delight to learn about the other two). And every time window dance is brought up I want to shoutout @taronuke.net who did it first in NotITG and inspired us!! Example Exschwasion's chart: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MOA...

An FPS that transcends all limitations. A grounded narrative experience that breaks its own reality. The best rhythm game level of all time. You’ll only see these spectacular moments if you play until the very end — so allow yourself to be spoiled, just this once. youtu.be/P2at_X2SCNU

I'd never have thought its possible to set the window position 60 times a second and have that be performant enough to actually get smooth animations. Exsch's chart also achieves multiwindow illusion by strobing between two positions every frame. Which ofc leads to 'can we do this for real..?'

Of course it's not just 25 years ago. It goes back even longer than that, with the US & UK overthrow of the first democratically elected leader of Iran in 1953. You can play through that story in The Cat and the Coup, which was an IGF finalist in 2011: store.steampowered.com/app/95700/Th...

NEW VIDEO - I love musically driven games, but Rhythm Doctor has proven to be a cut above the rest and somehow pulls off numerous things I’ve never seen in a game before while only using a single button. Let’s talk about it. youtu.be/xgNVflrr8a4?...

It's time... Today is the initial release of the chapter 1 demo for #DioramaBreak! I'm the lead character artist, focusing mainly on the (pixel art) dialogue portraits and CGs, but I also helped with character designs and guided the overall art direction early on massimog.itch.io/dioramabreak

Rolled credits on @tempolab.games's Bits and Bops, lovely game!! Music/gameplay my favs are the fireworks one and Ocean Mixtape 🥰. All the visuals and designs are so good (the ant one is sooo charming!!). And they are masters at understated puns

Israel is banning Doctors without Borders i.e. the group that SGDQ raises money for every year, from entering Palestine. May 2026 be the year everyone sees these clowns for who they are

If Rhythm Doctor wouldn't sell in Asia, overall we would have 62% less sales and 54% less revenue... Maybe there's bias because it's a rhythm game but nonetheless... Localization to Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK) is still very underrated!!
