At Game Talks Live tonight and I'm strangely emotional seeing my logo on a cupcake 🥹

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

The night shift just got worse. Grease Trap '99 is a short, PS1-inspired horror game set in a Scottish fish and chip shop in 1999. Fully voice-acted in Scottish Gaelic. Coming to Steam on October 21! Wishlist: s.team/a/4509200 #IndieHorror #GreaseTrap99

Kenney Shape is now FREE! (and it'll remain free, forever) ✨ Previously a paid tool, I'm releasing it as a gift to the community. Today's update will be the final one, with no further updates planned. That way I can focus on new software & projects! kenney.itch.io/kenney-shape

It's incredible isn't it, just how greedy people like Tim Sweeney are. They've made unfathomable amounts of money while treating their staff like shit, but they still think "what if we could treat people even worse, just to make some fictionally big number slightly bigger?" Fuck all of them.

I played Escalatrónico 7000 (by TODO.NORMAL) at SAGA Barcelona Game Fest and I Ioved it!

If you're looking for an excuse to make a game (digital) and win a delicious pizza (physical) the next PIZZA JAM 🍕 starts November 6th! itch.io/jam/pizza-ja... So far Ive had pizzas delivered to Brazil, Canada, Sweden, Norway, USA, Italy, Taiwan, Poland, Germany, Argentina

one thing you learn from making a lot of things is that the nitty gritty details, the millions of tiny invisible decisions, ARE the art. The "higher level ideas" are not nearly as important or interesting

Lol, are you kidding me? Microsoft Word/Powerpoint/Excel etc now all refuse to autosave files unless you turn on "All connected experiences" which turns on scanning your files and automatically saving files in the cloud. Apparently its now impossible for MS to autosave a file on your local machine

Just saw this review for SOLAS 128 from a bit ago and I absolutely love how spot on it is 💜 £12.40 to help charity and get 7 cool puzzle games (where at least one of them is provably Turing complete) sounds like a steal to me! 👉 www.humblebundle.com/games/progra...

Aw yisss, new hand drawn hero art on the Steam page! The French Revolution never looked so beautiful... Please share and wishlist! #GameDev #IndieGames #AdventureGame #PointAndClick store.steampowered.com/app/4090610/...

Someone asked me what my favorite Armor Games Studios game is… and I said SOLAS 128 by @amicableanimal.bsky.social (I love all our games though. Like children.) You can get SOLAS + 6 other great games all while helping to support the @eff.org www.humblebundle.com/games/progra...

This shows the madness of our current political environment. Papers and politicians are spending endless political capital othering at risk groups and inventing moral panics. Whereas most people actually want others to be safe, and governments to spend time fixing energy, housing, and fuel costs?

Gotta love this Discord '90% of people won't need to be validated' thing. Total garbage, as expected. My throw away test account that has existed for 6 months, has no profile, and is in no servers? Verified Adult. My account that has existed for 10 years, has a profile, in servers? Unconfirmed 🤷

As Order of the Sinking Star is coming out next month, in advance of review coverage coming in I wanted to add one thing to my last statement about the game: bsky.app/profile/drak... (note: at that time I didn’t have a separate personal account)

With Control: Resonant and Silent Hill: Downfall coming out this month we're really eating well for strange, interesting games with eerie vibes.

Oooh, this looks awesome!

look lads. the newswire burst that Xbox CEO Asha Sharma spends "hours" responding to CS tickets - whether true or not - is low hanging corporate propaganda. throw that shit in the trash. it's an insult to your intelligence.

I was looking forward to the Steam Frame, but after reading the reviews my interest has just evaporated. I'm totally baffled why they put so much effort into meh speakers, and haven't made it easy to use wired headphones? And no new game? It feels like its been sent out to die, which sucks.

‘COYOTE VS. ACME’ has now officially surpassed the $30M amount Warner Bros. originally planned to write the film off for. The film is now projected to earn over $60M domestically.

Daniel is sharing his starter pack of game devs that don't use AI, so I figured rather than just repost it, I would quote post it with my three no AI game dev starter packs. go.bsky.app/6DRdowf go.bsky.app/AS5R4p7 go.bsky.app/7K7JDCJ

💚HISTORIC GREEN WIN! Local housing campaigner Lorenzo Martinico has made history by becoming the first Scottish Green to win a council by-election in Edinburgh. Congratulations to Lorenzo and the Edinburgh Greens.

I've been thinking about this all day and I just hate it all the way down. Extra busywork, ugh. You have to hold a button to make each one, uuuuugh. It is for a tiny buff for a tiny amount of time? UUUUUUUUGH. It's nothingy. Faux-content. It's bland, boring UI elements pretending to be game play.

The Portal mod I worked on is finally released!! Wow! I made the escape sequence, which is pretty significantly altered from the original, but structured around mostly the same gameplay beats. I'll follow up with some screenshots once I'm off work.

I snagged a Pebble Time 2 earlier this week and, of course, I immediately wanted to make my own watchface so... Here's my first attempt! An Art Deco Sundial where the sun/moon moves around the border with the time. Plus step tracking on the middle!

Are we repackaging 'digital native' now, because *that* was already a whole pile of arse to begin with.

As I've seen other do: No free, only $6.66. You've got about two hours, go go go!

I see Google is getting more pressure from shareholders for all the money they're wasting on gAI! An obnoxiously large 'Ask Gemini' button has appeared somewhere you might accidentally click it and it's animated just in case you might miss it. I have all 'Smart Features' turned off too. Aces.

I'm so tired of creatives on YouTube jumping on gAI. It's so disheartening to see them throwing other creative disciplines under the bus for exploitative tech from thieving billionaires. So many musicians going "AI is ruining music so I made this using Claude" The cognitive dissonance is strong.

Confirming: When you buy a DF game now, you support us directly!
