buy my 69 cent game for Steam Scream V! it has poetry AND horror 😌

69 cents for a poetic horror game where someone dances like a hologram? That’s an extremely dangerous impulse purchase.

Digital poetry should be a genre. Short, powerful, unique audiovisual interactive experiences. A major issue to this though is that steam would just let players refund after finishing. Another issue is the culture of gaming being.....yeah. We should all support Nathalie as she tries anyway.

These really are getting farther apart, but new from me: for its 40th anniversary, I wrote about From Beyond, the second half of one of the most fun double-features you can hatch at Halloween and an exemplar of the special effects boom of the 80s.

Nothing can ever replace the interactivity of Flash

Long live Flash It deserves to outlive Adobe

Dozens of people are saying this!

me, invigorated by the state of emulation, yeah Flash gamedev is definitely the future. ⭐️

tools and trending conversations are temporary. what you build yourself, and your own hard earned expertise, is what lasts.

mastodon.gamedev.place/@bitinn/1174... "4. Epic are going to do the same to UE as they did to Epic Game Store." You heard it in Shanghai first, people. Tim Sweeney wants to make UE a ghost town. (the mastodon thread has a link to the full QQ transcript of the interview he gave)

it is unusual for me to ask for help on the internet. but this is very important. i'm going to need you to send me videos of very cool boss explosions so i can make one.

this is a very interesting compilation of thoughts (from lots of different people) about Lara Croft. i find the continued legacy inspiring because, if this came out today, gamers would have a fit about playing her. the cultural success says a lot. this character stays relevant in lots of ways.

Tomorrow, Tomb Raider turns 30. I asked LGBTQIA+ activists, artists, content creators and intellectuals to share with me a memory or a comment about the series and its protagonist Lara Croft. Thank you to everyone who responded, including @alienmelon.bsky.social. www.gay.it/30-anni-tomb...

I think something automation can't replace is the value of time

steam should have tipping. it should have tipping. there should be tipping on steam. on steam, you should be able to tip the developer. the tip money should go straight to the developers who worked on the game and not the publishers or valve. they should make it so that on steam, you can give a tip
