Pretty happy with how my hand-painted wheel of fortune turned out. Just canvas sewn to a hoop + fabric paints.

Here's 90 seconds of REVOLUTION FANTASY, which I've been working on discreetly for the last few years. It's built on the bones of Tenderfoot Tactics, in Godot. This is a sandbox combat that I'm using to design skills and progression. Expect me to post a lot more about RF from here on out!

Anyone know a Seattle tattoo artist that would be good for a PEAK tattoo? The one I was originally planning with decided it was too far outside of her wheelhouse.

REBOUNDER. A new game developed by ThirtyThree, published by Aggro Crab. Rebounder is a hand-crafted precision platformer about a roughneck worker recruited for a hazardous job on a distant planet. Nail the run. Deliver your line. Dropping 2027.

Dude I have had it with ordering furniture off the internet. The devs don't even bother including a height map any more

ALRIGHT! AudCalc drop monday at 9am pacific. I've only got a few, so set an alarm. Plus I added some new features, including swing, so I thought I should record a quick loop with some swing.

If you ever want to feel like you're in a fever dream just look up "gun decanter" on the internet store dot com I think I'm losing my goddamn mind why are there so many

I forgot to add alt text here it is: gun-shaped decanter gun-shaped decanter gun-shaped decanter gun-shaped decanter gun-shaped decanter gun-shaped decanter gun-shaped decanter sword-shaped decanter gun-shaped decanter gun-shaped decanter gun-shaped decanter turtle flipping bird shaped decanter

Excited to finally announce our next project: Embergrim, the dicebuilding tactics rpg!!! The sun has died, and the land has been cast into an unending darkness. #gamedev #indiedev #roguelikedev

Happy birthday to the game that fundamentally changed my life! Every day I think about how cool it is that I get to be at this studio working with such incredibly cool people on so much incredibly cool shit and I do legit get kind of misty-eyed about it most of the time.

one year of PEAK thank you scouts 🥹

A couple people at a studio of ~50 using an LLM as little more than a batch script generator is such a comically insignificant use of this technology. If you're not using duckduckgo with the AI toggle off, you are likely doing more harm than this described usage every time you google something.

I was aLleDgEdLy fired from Unity for being too adversarial about our AI usage years before most people even knew what a ChatGPT was. I'm not uninformed or milquetoast about this stuff, so when I earnestly say "you're being a cop," maybe consider whether your crusade is legitimately justified, idk.

I'm not saying this justifies using the tech, but jfc could the response to things like this be at least nominally proportional to the actual infraction? This is giving me flashbacks to vegan "friends" in college crucifying someone in the group over keeping pet chickens and giving away the eggs.

Are they guilty of violating some ambiguously defined moral compact? Maybe? But are you even asking that question in good faith? Consider that your conceptions of what counts as Breaking The Rules could be slightly different, and maybe you're being a bit hasty to declare them Evil Lying Scumbags.

i am very, very open for work at the moment and very good at mock reviewing/consultancy. my feedback is more dev-centric than most and generally revolves around aspects of game design which are often left out of other mock reviews (frame data, balance, and other fundamentals of feel and design).

Suriel Vazquez@suriel.bsky.social

Hi! My incredibly talented friend and games critic Renata Price (prev. Waypoint/Kotaku/Fanbyte, currently Crit Build) is looking for mock review/consulting work if you know anyone who might be interested! Reach out to ren(at)critbuild(dot)org if interested. Shares appreciated!

Had to sign paperwork with the movers earlier and the guy asked, very earnestly, if we could sign now or if we needed to wait for my mom (Miranda) to show up. I turned 40 last Tuesday.

Can corroborate. When I brought these concerns up in leads meetings, I got totally stonewalled. Ken Troop - the former director of all of Magic - told a room full of senior leadership I was a "troublemaker." Hasbro leadership has never, EVER been interested in good faith discussion.

Val summed up my thoughts perfectly in the 🧵 here. We took part in the employee satisfaction surveys, we told our managers our concerns, we rallied in All-Hands’. They heard our concerns, listened to us beg, and then told us that if we didn’t like it, we could leave. We decided to unionize instead

Ok I'm realizing this very clearly reads like I'm subtweeting the Arena unionization news being all over my socials, lol, but it is actually about Miranda being the hand model for all the Steam Controller promos 😭

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE IN THIS ORGANIZING UNIT!!!

United Wizards of the Coast - CWA@uwotc-official.bsky.social

Sort of nuts how AI advocates all have to admit that high schoolers using LLMs to write every essay is actively making them dumber, but then they turn to look straight into the camera afterwards and be like "good thing when I use AI in my field, the exact same thing doesn't happen" (it does)

ANNOUNCING: PIGCON, the Portland Indie Game Convention A weekend for indie devs of all kinds to learn, share, and connect May 30-31 at Norse Hall, Portland, OR pigcon.pigsquad.com See you this spring 😉🌟

Just dropped off my first box of stuff at the month-by-month rental I'm staying at until my house sells. Incredibly surreal feeling type of place.

Hi I just got back from a 24 hour game jam in Portland where I slept for approximately 3 hours and I am still doing a revenge bedtime procrastination because I just remembered my preview build of <redacted> the <redacted> 2 is on my steam deck ama

Weird to open this app and see a picture of myself on it... anyway go to Slug World if you have to be at GDC this year!

Schera Wyss 💀 SLUG HUMAN@scherawyss.bsky.social

We dont care about the GDC "Festival of Gaming" or its new focus on "B2B investment opportunities". We serve the punks, the indies, the artists, and all the marginalized ppl working in games. Slug World runs outside GDC again this year.

Every time I open this app my whole body just starts vibrating with anxiety. Anyway, this is what my cats have been up to.

I have become completely addicted to telling everyone I know to "get his ass." I cannot and will not stop. Every single person at every possible moment should be trying to get someone's ass.

Idk man if I were doing opsec for a verified child abuser who has definitely committed uncountable sexual assaults, I would probably just wholesale delete any legitimately damning text, then do something exactly like this to keep the news cycle occupied while I'm burying the bodies in the back yard.

Patton Oswalt@pattonoswalt.bsky.social

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

This is the most tragic thing I've ever woken up to. Somebody ordered a whole case of Taco Bell at 2:15 am last night and Uber eats dropped it off on the wrong doorstop. I'm so sorry Joe Z, wherever you are (the Airbnb right next to me, probably)

It's finally out! I'm proud of the work we did, and I had a blast working with the team at Dream Toaster! I hope you all enjoy playing!
