I guess I should encourage y'all to play the puppy truck demo and see for yourself that there is indeed nothing interesting beyond this sign puppytruck.dog

Hey, you! Do you like cartoons cars and/or dogs? What if it was a cartoon car AND dog? GO and check Puppy Truck out, it is adorable!

making games so you can hopefully afford to make more games is literally a different industry from grinding up people so number goes up and it is harmful to pretend otherwise regardless of whether or not we share a platform or a binary format

The first two days of Steam Next Fest are critical to a game's visibility! If you've been thinking of trying it out, booting up the demo today will help Steam surface it so others can discover it! store.steampowered.com/app/4429720/...

Big news for Puppy Truck enjoyers

sorry, code is fucking beautiful. its fucking magical i can type words in the thing and fucking TRIANGLES just appear ? oops i typed it wrong and the triangles did something i didn't EXPECT ?? now weird shit is happening ?? this is the best shit of all time. i was born to fight the computer

ok, yes. i used a little blood magic to make this potion. but in my defense, it's hard NOT to use blood magic these days. all the tomes and orbs are powered by it. blood magic is really a systemic issue. in a way i'm a hero for admitting i use it

Absolute jaw-dropping snide, sniggering rudeness here. Your reminder that the billionaires are very much not on our side.

You Can See Everything was incredible. One of the best films I’ve ever seen.

we are living through a golden age of people with unlimited money and resources trying to convince you that they're just a little guy

"AI will change the world."

Besides having 10+ years of playing together, this new band has existed for less than 3 hours. All these new songs have been run exactly twice and we’re feeling great about it. Gonna go hit our first show this Tuesday night and I’m really excited for it.

Ya'all aren't ready for how dreadfully bad the games on Google Playground are. No no, like... unbelievably bad. You're still not getting it.

In my restless dreams, I see that game.......... Space Corridor..........................

The video advertising Unity's ew AI-driven autocomplete game maker has 'Mari' who has a game idea they "always wanted to make" and that idea is "Space Corridor" and it looks like this, and that's the strongest argument I can think of for keeping game dev out of the pro-AI crowd's hands.

You're referring to Space Corridor? My game idea where you play as a space guy and walk down a corridor? The game that's always been my dream?

out for blood today

My stretch of professional gamedev is probably coming to an end soon, so a final repost can't hurt. If you're looking for (remote) support on a 2D Godot project, I can help out!

oh so it's defund the police now?

I’ll be joining the lineup for the ETERNAL SUFFERING TOUR as it swings through sf in two weeks! I’ll be joined by friends on stage and I’m excited to play with Lana Del Rabies!

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

I unearthed a bunch of demos from my old goth/wave band and put them up on youtube for posterity. It was really fun to revisit these, some of them's got the juice. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e5a...

I have blamed The agents That hacked Your website And which You probably Reasonably thought I controlled Forgive me I am rich And unaccustomed To taking responsibility

it’s forbidden content but i have watched this video of the AI songs a man made for his mistress after murdering his wife being played in court maybe 20 times today. It is one of the most compelling things i have ever seen

"A library card can put a power drill in your hand on Monday and get your kid into a science museum on Saturday, all without spending a dime," writes Oakland Library Commissioner April J. Bell in this Huffington Post article. ➡️ https://bit.ly/4rcTMyc

it is genuinely demoralizing to try to open unity and have it be like "YOUR LLM IS READY" and then you close that popup and slack is like "ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE LLM" and you close that popup and then notion is like "OH YOU PRESSED THE WRONG SHORTCUT WHAT DID YOU WANT TO ASK THE LLM"

I do not believe that these guys are about to summon a world-ending superconsciousness from Nvidia graphics cards. But they either believe they can or want me to believe they believe they can. So I think "fuck them" is the only rational response

The bathroom graffiti at KEXP is pretty on point across the board.

I had a tremendously good time sharing Nectarmancer at @themix.bsky.social last night as part of #paxwest. Long live indie games.

My first piece for @kotaku.com sees me document the rather surreal experience of demoing a game funded by a government that would have me executed for being trans. kotaku.com/the-1001-thr...

Hey game developer, might I tempt you with some BUSINE$$?

the thing about indie games is that if someone designs one single game I love, I’ll get whatever they make for the rest of their lives and pretty much always have a good time. people are so attached to ip but imo you really gotta know the creators.

I put up a quick video showing how Nectarmancer music gets made. Using real instruments is very important towards creating an organic feeling world that's true to the punk/renegade themes of the game. store.steampowered.com/news/app/739...
