Bat Bots is finally live on Steam! Go play it! It's fun, simple arcade goodness! It's couch co-op! Best of all, it's free! store.steampowered.com/app/3099010/...

Font designers, I'm on my knees begging you to please include an ñ in your font maps. Hell, in celebration of my Brazilian friends' victory this weekend, thrown in a ç as well. Your latam game dev friends will love you for this

There will come a time when people refer to Dark Souls as retro and I fear that day is not far away.

Taken by a strange mood (figured how to fix a bug). Heading to the forge (my PC) to manifest a creation whispered by the gods (create 16 new bugs)

I can't help but feel that this can be thwarted by having functions inside the game that check for integrity - and that you can then do a Disco-Elysium-style callout to players who do this by calling them cowards and losers for doing it

God, Blood and Thunder kicks so much ass as a song.

Knowing where so many creative tools (Rive, Adobe, etc) have ended up with their AI adoption, I dread to think what the Game UI Database could have become in the hands of someone with no respect for the creative process. The GUIDB is proudly anti-AI and will always champion humans, no matter what!

Just hopping on to share the newest additions to the familiy.

Hell yeah, procgen

BREAKING NEWS: Mother awash with melancholy and nostalgia as images of her giggling little baby clash with reality of now-grown-ass man getting angry over coffee brewing minutiae

YOOOOO LOS MIRLOS AT TINY DESK. GO WATCH IT! www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCh4...

The card mini game is called Triple Triad (three threes) despite the fact cards battle in all 4 cardinal directions and you get to play up to 5 cards per game. I get the board is a 3x3 grid and it's fun as hell. It just always irked me because it doesn't refer to the cards, it refers to the board.

I like this idea. Like crew but for walls. Garrison X - something cool happens. The mechanic can represent any number of things: soldiers at a fort, scholars at a library, cooks at a kitchen and so on. Some special garrisonable walls could save your creatures from a board wipe effect. It's neat.

You've met me at a very blue mana point in my life

What with all the new Metroid news, I figure it's a good time as any to share the coolest Super Metroid remix out there. Kudos to Dominic Ninmark for creating this hype af track youtu.be/dkDR5OckDfA?...

Babe wake up, they're doing a new Peruvian internet cafes in the post-widely-available-internet era.

I feel this deeply. I made a behavior-programming-discipline specific starter kit here in Bsky cause I really feel this discipline is extremely important. But I can't call it "AI development" anymore because folks understand something different when I say that. And that fucking sucks - they took it.

NEW ARTICLE NEW ARTICLE NEW ARTICLE! Emotions are the basic and most important part of human function, as essential as protein. So why is it that so many game designers don't design for emotion? featuring Dark Cloud and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth! docseuss.medium.com/its-not-enou...

Designing good UI/UX requires a great deal of empathy as it demands you step out of your perspective as a designer and look at things from the perspective of the user. Balance, highlight and access are all aspects to focus on. Thus, designing a good charcuterie board is UI/UX. In this Ted talk I...

This is a sick game. It's innovative, true to its inspirations and fun as hell. Do yourself a favor and play the hell out of this game.

I'm not being very productive, which could be due to sleep or thyroid. But what I can do is dick around on social media. So let's share again the starter packs I made of game devs who refuse to use gen AI in any capacity. Here you go: go.bsky.app/6DRdowf go.bsky.app/AS5R4p7 go.bsky.app/7K7JDCJ

I hate genAI with a passion but I actually think watermarking AI content is a responsible feature. Being undetectable should not be a selling point, at all. www.businessinsider.com/claude-users...

I posit that looksmaxxing is the new incarnation of the spirit behind unironically asking people "do you even lift?"

Minimum requirements to qualify for political astuteness: Noticing there is a problem then offering a solution. Mamdani truly is a devious schemer.

It's easy to forget, but there was once a time before people heard the opening riff of Raining Blood. Times used to be truly dark

A few times over the course of my life, I've developed skills to be competent at something out of spite. It mostly happens when someone says "this is one of those things that only a few people can understand, so don't bother" Fuck you, I'll bother - watch me. Hearing about AI elicits the same.

Absolute dogshit job in paint - as a good meme should be

really excited to see my friends’ game, Bait and Tackle, ran at SGDQ on Thursday!

Absolutely losing it at "free-to-play"

It goes it goes it goes it goes it goes it goes it goes CREATINEEEEEEEE

I like how the goose ominously appears in this slide transition without mention. I find it to be like a prog song, where a riff is building in the background, ready to become the main melody after a few bars.

Dammit why is XKCD so constantly good

This fucking sucks. The UI Database is an incredible resource and Edd's work is nothing short of heroic

Microsoft Teams, amidst its many hell-like features, has a notification it pushes whenever it's checking for new messages. This causes the phone to vibrate and is indistuingishable from actual messages until you open the phone and see Teams was informing you there is nothing to inform. I hate it.

They fuckin got me. Absolutely fiendish, I tell you.

Bro, how do you cool data centers in space? It's a vacuum - there is no convection or conduction; only radiation. I don't give a shit about the robots or construction costs - how do you - physically - dissipate the enormous heat created by vast arrays of GPUs processing dumbass queries?

Broke: I have a producer that sets deliverables deadlines for our game so we keep work progressing apace. Woke: My niece really, really wants to play my games and if I make her wait I am a bad person and a poop-head.
