After a brief 7 years we've found ourselves ready to release our little game: Knuckle Creek. Please enjoy the launch trailer with a tune written by our designer Anthony Flack for the purpose: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxBY...

We accidentally unlocked everything during a couch playtest. So naturally, we turned the mistake into a feature. Meet Party Mode.🐟💥🛸 Read more in our latest Steam news article! 👇 store.steampowered.com/app/4652930/...

It's TIME! TO! GET! HYPE! Today, I get to proudly unveil Steam Hype, the project I've been working on with the help of @hookshot.media for the past two and a half months. A new PC gaming site which aims to demystify PC gaming, cut through the 100+ daily releases and spotlight indies as much as AAA

DPaint

Up to eight players can play Knuckle Creek together. We provide the bombs, chickens and general disorder. Any subsequent arguments remain a private matter. Wishlist today!

This is very good.

I don't think there should be a defibrilator on Snowdon. And that's a hill I'm prepared to die on

I had a job at a shoe shop but was given the boot.

We're sorting out our Gamescom schedule, and we're taking a new pitch! If you're a publisher and want to chat or take a look, hit us up. 👀💗

A good day to remind you all that you can spend £5.50 on a 28mm @countbinface.bsky.social model from Troublemaker Games, £3 of which goes to NHS supporting charities Now who is selling some frog faced fiends and a scale model pier for them to fight over? www.troublemakergames.co.uk/product-page...

I'm reading that idTech is gone?!! Imagine having a world class tech stack, pipeline and multi-studio culture and binning it off. Everyone involved are absolute clown shoes

Remember the internet before Google, before algorithmic feeds, before monolithic social media corralled us onto the same handful of apps? When small, *personal websites* and webrings linking them together reigned supreme? Time to bring it back.

*tap tap* Is this thing on? www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9bz... rookandpossum.com/posts/scanli... I made a thing! I suspect I'll be posting to an empty room like a madman, but for now, I'm going to make a habit to start posting things here when I post videos/blogs/papers.

Me: Okay, there's been a thunderstorm, the heatwave should be over now. (New health bar appears) (The sun is now named 'Sol, Starflame of Regret') (Objectively the greatest piece of classical music ever recorded starts playing).

UE6 changes are interesting. Epic has generally built for their own use case first which is what made it useful and battle-tested (if your goals aligned). But it seems they're chasing the metaverse/platform dream that's only applicable to a small subset of games?

Flipcode. Or maybe the original Lionhead forums.

Steam should have a Previous Fest featuring all the games that are already out, but bungled their marketing campaigns so you've never heard of them.

Genuinely, this concern about AI is one of the reasons why I think having friction in video games is good and why it's increasingly important to have games that simply exist instead of catering to our expectations. Reposting this message from Kojima about "pre-digested" art:

Still buzzing that our games festival is on the front page of Steam this morning! Please support our brilliant game-makers - loads of discounts on there! Big thanks to the lovely people at @valvesoftware.com. store.steampowered.com/news/group/3...

commissions open Rt if you can 🙏🙏🙏

Loved the vibes in this when I was growing up

I'm unfortunately reaching the end of the line. I'm desperately trying to save my career & working really hard to get myself into a better position, I'm still going to lose my home & at 45 that's a big thing to have to deal with if you can help me at all I'd really appreciate it. ko-fi.com/robotwig

Trying to replace game journalists with AI is one of the single most stupid uses of the technology I've seen and that is a hotly contested category. The entire point of written games journalism is the expression of a subjective human perspective: that is the value; that is the purpose.

“We are witnessing the reinvention of play. […] As monetization and Al evolve and influence this future…” Goodnight Xbox x

RE Bluepoint: Having a studio that is expert at remakes, working for a publisher with an insanely deep backlog of beloved classics, was always a recipe for printing money at a steady cadence. Leave them alone and they print money forever, little or no opportunity cost. Come the fuck on

Hey Bluesky. Thank you so much for the support on the Mythmatch release date yesterday! Do you think you could maybe help me get over the line to 10k wishlists? store.steampowered.com/app/1778050/... We've been so close for so long! Please Wishlist and Share!

In case you missed yesterday, Notepad++ auto-update mechanism was hacked and was delivering backdoored versions for a couple months. Tons of devs use this, uninstall completely what you have, search for the sus files mentioned in article and only download from official site

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

Trump's Davos speech was the act of a madman and that is the only sensible manner in which it should have been covered iandunt.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

The Nuclear Throne Update 100 boom could falter without wider adoption, @vlambeer.com warns. store.steampowered.com/app/242680/N...

From a guy who deplatformed tens of millions of his own users so he could pressure Apple and Google to change what he considered an immoral policy. Billionaire headloss in the 2020s will be a rich topic of study one day, not sure there's been a more dramatic, weird or stupid example than this guy

PSA let your boiled potatoes dry out before roasting them to help guarantee super crisp roasties. I read the tip a few weeks ago and haven’t looked back

We're overjoyed to announce that Promise Mascot Agency is nominated for "Excellence in Narrative" at the IGF Awards! 🛻✨💗 www.gamedeveloper.com/production/b...

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

"vague cultural reasons" - yeah no, the owner of the site with a mouth piece to millions spreads disinformation and was attempting to whip up division in my country and calling on people to fight. Fuck that site.
