I didn’t mean to get sucked into another story about two idiots who love each other more than anything in the world but manage to ruin everything for themselves and everyone around them

for those who have seen this talk of mine before, i modified it a bit to be less for an audience of designers, so I took out some parts about how to design for this and instead explored some bigger picture ideas about games as a whole and got further into the existential stuff towards the end

Congrats to the winner of the Digital Moment Award 🌴🦩:  Hanwen Xu & Hatim Benhsain with coalescent || tidal rapture 🏆 This game goes beyond normative depictions of intimacy and doesn't shy away from being meaningfully sensuous, mysterious, complex, and primal.  #amaze 2026

anyone else feel an overwhelming sense of anxiety when you think about how much amazing art is on the internet because you won't possibly get to ever see all of it and it's also too much to preserve and remember, even if you save them, because there's too many to look back at, or is that just me

I also want to announce an anticipated quality of life fix, the phrasing of the question is now "what do you wish for?" instead of "would you like to make a wish?" if you typed "yes" as your wish before, this fix is for you 🙇 you can re-download from itch to get the new version

hope u had a good GDC if you went and a good not GDC if you didnt go, perhaps now it's a good time to check out my latest little game if you haven't do u know that you can visit a garden where we have angels on staff 24/7 to listen to your wishes? it's true, visit here flan.itch.io/angel-garden 🌷

might be cheesy to say but GDC has me in my feelings, a week of being around new and old friends from every era of my life, all of them wildly talented, my mentors and my students, and my influences, seeing bold new work that inspires me to do more yeah

day 3 of the angel game being out, and i wasn't ready for the amount of wishes coming in now that are people wishing for other players' wishes to come true...

I started working on this in late january/eary febrary last year, around the time of year that i start yearning for spring time. I had always planned to release it right in the end of winter the following year, so glad I was able to make it!
