MAGFest was very special this year..... Starting with... getting to show North Shore (@ravinestudios.ca) to a whole lot of people.

You know this person cares about their drill by the effort gradient.

It's like peanut butter and jelly

Toronto! Go fucking vote! (I love you)

Advanced rendering technique: hidden shadow only twin. sounds like some naruto shit

This is a top tier website. I thought we had lost the technology to make websites like this.

Maybe I should start writing again.

making games so you can hopefully afford to make more games is literally a different industry from grinding up people so number goes up and it is harmful to pretend otherwise regardless of whether or not we share a platform or a binary format

That edgy kid you knew in high school who now works as a PM but still wears a black trench coat

Happy three year anniversary, kids. I hope the other side of the cabin door is everything you ever could have hoped it would be.

Get yourself a PM (or an opp leader) that understands the systemic issues that are destroying games.

good morning

Indies: 1) Friends who listened, sometimes the whole local community 2) Family who puts up with your work. They maybe watched your kids while you traveled. 3) You maybe even thanked your kids. 4) Mentors 5) Your pets 6) Your local coffee shops and takeout places who now know you by name.

Future? No Thanks! is not 100% AI-free. I wrote a full disclosure here plus a couple of notes about gen-AI and coding: www.molleindustria.org/blog/future-...

We have something really cool to show soon and it would be nice to make a platform that champions racist material defunct for us!

We're Visai Games! 👋 We made Venba, an award winning narrative cooking game. As outsiders to the industry, we found our following in twitter but logging into it now means coming face to face with a lot of South Asian racism. If you like Venba, Follow us here so we don't have to login to twitter!

And now it's live! Poly Fighter is officially available in Early Access on Steam. store.steampowered.com/app/3977340/... Shares are very appreciated! And if you jump in today and enjoy it, leaving a Steam review would help us tremendously! Thank you so much! ♥♥♥

Hello #PortfolioDay just a bump of an older art post.

Poly Fighter launches into Early Access tomorrow! A year and a half ago this was just an idea. Now we're about to put it into players' hands, and honestly, the support we've received leading up to launch has been overwhelming. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYkb... store.steampowered.com/app/3977340/...

I cannot remain ambivalent about my puter chat

My support for bluesky/atproto is pretty much explicitly a "political" project. It is bad for a small number of (mostly right-wing) people to literally own all the sources of media. Open-source algorithms + the ability to move your account without negative network effects opposes this.

Yo I know this place! It's the quickest path from @dirty-rectangles.com to @ravinestudios.ca Take some time before the weather gets bad to bike along the West Toronto Railpath! It's realy nice and newly renovated. (There have been 0 murders on the railpath!) www.toronto.ca/services-pay...

Getting my students doing some tabletop #gamedesign and teaching them about probability got me referencing @deathbybadger.bsky.social's "Trapped in a Cabin with Lord Byron" ...so I just had to make a #spreadsheet model of it... 🎲✂️📊🤓

The roads are quiet. For now. Tune into the @cozyafterdarkshow.bsky.social at 2PM ET.

Was fun to go to the @atproto.to meetup today. I didn't get to show people this aspirational malware!

We grant corporations personhood, a kind of legal animism; if we do the same for machines, certainly we should also do so for members of the commons like rivers and mountains. Give each stream and hill a name and a representative board and set of accounts.

I'm not kidding

@computechnosoft.com Told me to get rid of the Birdnament. They're bird-ornaments Birdnaments

Thrilled to make my CBC Arts debut by featuring three fabulous games made right here at home! Thank you @playhilltop.bsky.social, @akiiwansurvival.bsky.social, @redshiftpanda.bsky.social, I can't wait to play 🎮

Hey, there's this game I helped make is 50% off!. Check it out! It's a fun exploration on what it's like to train a neural network. (This AI game has no generative AI in it)

Haven't been here enough because life has been crazy for the past year, but my game is 60% in the Steam sale and it would mean a lot if you took a look at it. Last player review I got said: "I didn't expect this game to be as good as it is". store.steampowered.com/app/3129110/...

Death's Door is $1.99 on Steam buff.ly/z5QJycx

Shout out to Manic Coffee on College St.

It was a pleasure to attend! Also, we got so much Ottawa architecture references for the game!

Literally my calendar but it also has emo night on Fridays.

I'm going to tell my kids this was bisexual lighting

I do wonder how much of it is the obsession over vaguely defining an output and dopamine-farming when it at first glance (but not second) looks plausible doing hard work sucks, it’s too bad that that’s how you do good work

"Why do you need cis people to be the ones to stand up for you?"

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

Another thing to remember on this bisexual day is that The Grungler is canonically bi. I do enjoy how it's become a term for "token cis guy who hangs out with a bunch of trans weirdos" but the original post was also about straight women being weird about bi men.
