A/I, a small Italian collective that provides secure online services, is being branded a terrorist organization by the Trump administration. "A technological war the US is waging against anyone who asserts autonomy over digital networks and infrastructure" www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2026/08/29/a...

My game “one tap games” has hit 1.5 million plays 🫨, so I cut together a tiny trailer to celebrate. It’s my minigame collection where each is played with a single tap, and you’re given a daily random 5 game selection from a larger pool You can play here (mobile & web!) s.castle.xyz/5nEd_NuwDzaa

my wish came true! @jack-crawford.bsky.social hosted an avoidance jam and 28 new ones were born unto the earth. super cool to see everyone's spin on the formula itch.io/jam/jacks-av...

📝 brlka.com/posts/2026-0... new blog post! this one's about designing "avoiders", the term i've been using for all my tiny arcadey games about dodging obstacles. imo these are really underrated design exercises, and i'd love to see more people give making them a shot (esp. since they're so easy!)

can you beat my score?

mut / moochi@mut.media

i made an avoider as well! (inspired by @brlka.com of course) i'm really proud of it, i haven't made a game ass game in so long. i really savored the process of trying to keep it tight,while following it to the places it seemed to be taking me. enjoy! mutmedia.itch.io/claudio

i just re-estabilished what i believe is the current WR of 1399, after what i was calling "forbidden techniques" (when i programmed them in) were reported by other people. funny to have made two games in a row where a fundamental mechanic is feeling out 10 seconds.

its crazy how this happened, 3 weeks ago i played jungle jumperz and was like, "wow, i wanna make a game like this, i have an idea..." and then like 2 weeks later a bunch of other folks started making avoiders as well, and its been so cool to see. there even a jam??

Hey I wanted to share out a recently released capstone project from my student Bernadine Mattson! Doo-Daa is a collaged RPG Maker MZ 2003 game where you play as an astronaut cat handing out informational pamphlets marketing the planet Earth to Dadaist aliens. bobby4apples.itch.io/doo-daa

@hatimb00.itch.io and Hanwen Xu remark that the industry doesn’t know what to do with sex. Their game coalescent || tidal rapture presents an aquatic space for exploring queer forms of sex freed from pain and heteronormativity. Inspiration from slug sex and other forms of polymorphous pleasure

mut / moochi reposted

Had a chance to demo Coalescent || Tidal Rapture by @hatimb00.itch.io and @hanwenxumame.bsky.social today. Extremely cool, thoughtful exploration of sex and the unknown with a bold mix of visual styles, thoughtful and impactful writing, and a fixation on the wonder and danger of undersea.

store.steampowered.comcoalescent || tidal rapture on SteamA hypnagogic 3D swimming/entanglement adventure game about harmonizing and want. Dive into a world of merpeople who are transforming and discovering casual relationships through the eyes of a floater ...
