I'm an #indie #gamedev that makes #horrorgames. If it's not horror, you'll still see my personal touch added to it. You may know me from 'Oh, It's Christmas' (2016) popularized by Markiplier, my super short stint in Streaming/Youtubing, and the in pre-production 'This House Is Not A Home'

Eff me. Not Bioware, too. I can't think of a studio that has had a bigger influence on me than this one. My dream was to be like them. I'll never stop feeling rage and sadness to see studios with tremendous legacies just bought and killed off for parts. This one hurts a lot more than most.

Happy International Lesbian Day to our time travelling tragic sapphic. #oldskies

I found an ad for Fright Train in a 2006 gaming magazine! 😮 Just in time to celebrate over 400 reviews!!

Technically I fall in here, even though I’m Pan. Still living daily with bi erasure.

Announcing: Forbidden Solitaire DLC! It's 2020. Robyn Cierra excavates hidden files in the remnants of a cursed 1995 CD-ROM. A bizarre graveyard of scrapped content lies entombed, deep within the code. You thought your sister was beyond saving. Until now. store.steampowered.com/app/5238350/...

no game dev skill is more important than making up your fuckin mind

If anyone ever walks into a meeting after things have been decided and says -I have this idea, I was watching this TV show last night… You should be able to kill them. Not metaphorically… just tell the cops and they’ll agree. Justifialble.

Dick Slater is back in Massacre At The Mirage 2 with brand new models! Dick is a little older but still hard as a rock. 😏 Check out his new and classic look. I can say this with complete confidence. Dick has never looked this good!😎🤘 #indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX

Another location from the first Massacre At The Mirage, remade for part 2. The Toot Radio station! Or what's left of it. I don't plan to explore the inside as I do with the Mirage, but I wanted to match the exterior as closely as possible for the scenes I have planned. #indiegame #indiegamedev

I'm really loving the Lanterns show. They trust the audience and don't dumb down the plot or stop using any subtext. I love that they wrote genuinely complex characters who feel like people rather than plot devices. I was getting tired of the whole Thanos-like, surface-level-complex villain trend.

when a AAA game has fully animated sex scenes that's just normal but when an indie game does anything even the slightest bit risque that's porn

The Mirage has seen better days. A little peek at what's left of The Mirage in the aftermath of Manny's visit. Completely remade in my grindhouse PSX style. You will visit the Mirage in part 2, but it won't be a main location. More of a nod to part 1 and its story. #indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX

Ohh... interesting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8fi...

Watching a video where someone is claiming a $35 cozy game is a failure because it's concurrent player numbers dropped 6 weeks after launch... We are so fucked in how people perceive games, their value, and expectations. It's not stardew valley numbers!?!! Well then it must be a piece of shit...

I can't even w Tim Curry. I'll be back later w a more fitting bunch of words, maybe. My heart :( I love you, sir, & thank you for being YOU: fearless & lovely & one of the best parts of so many movies I adored You made a huge difference in so many lives & we're SO grateful we got to see you shine

what's remarkable about this essay, in spite of the author's insistence that working with chatgpt is fun and exciting, is how boring both the process and the product sounds to me

If you'd like to see the shot from Stalker in motion then I got you covered 🙌🏻

#pixelart and #gamedev

Weekend done, time to hang it up. Many rough edges, but I'm still having fun. Going to completely rewrite the weapon grab mechanic. It's surprising how enjoyable an NPC with a basic (random attack + walk direction) type brain can be. Oh. I added an 808 kick to the Kill Confirm. #CherubDev #UE5

Hard disagree. It’s not about press coverage but it’s about discussion and algorithms If you launch the same day or week even, any messaging you do even to your own audience is battling the gta6 attention This isn’t about sharing player bases but how modern media works and your ability to spread

This is honestly so freaking cool, man! Thanks for playing both the demo and the full release, Case! Caseoh does so much for the indie horror scene, using his massive reach to highlight great games and talented developers almost every single day! What an absolute legend.

Taking part in the #ArtRepostJuly challenge hosted by @whistberry.bsky.social The theme for Day #30 is #black&white so have an apt one I made about how much I despise "AI" 😈🎨🦇

And thus, I was able to import the geometry of the first Daventry map of King's Quest 8... into THE DOOM ENGINE!!! This makes me happy. (the buildings need to be remade from scratch though)

I was told you couldn't do 3D on the Playdate, so I did it. Then I was told there was no way I could create exterior levels like those in Mirror's Edge, so I proved them wrong again.

Excited to be talking to Pixel Pushers Union 512 @ppu512.bsky.social ! Do check out Tonight We Riot which is really awesome and relevant!

Ahh crap. This is a sad one. Brilliant actor, good bloke. 7news.com.au/entertainmen...

This really hurts. Rest in peace. 😭

I really wish a journalist or writer would look into her husband, Sheryl Sandberg, Fidji Simo, Craig Cincotta, etc. and write the full story. We need the book and the movie. Forget The Social Network or The Wolf of Wall Street. The little I know is unbelievable, surpasses those movies.

Headed to bed, but I leave you with a piece for PC Gamer on End Of Starchild! It's free! Play it! Due to Reasons (good ones, I assure - details as soon as I can give them) this might be the last thing I write for PC Gamer for a long while. I figure this is a pretty good note to sign off with, huh?

Oh lordy… it’s HL2 launch all over again. I can’t remember the last time I inserted a disc into something… www.change.org/p/give-gta-v...

I see some concerns raised about Godot's policy on contributions using AI. TL;DR: Godot isn't vibe-coded. As a whole, the Godot foundation and maintainers are fairly critical of AI usage, and don't make nor accept vibe-coded contributions. Godot doesn't include AI features nor intends to add any.

Happy 30th anniversary to Quake.
