Hey blue sky! If you are curious about "song" games, you should check our demo and consider wishlisting us on Steam! @offscore.bsky.social has seen many years of iteration and development, but I'm happy to say we are almost there and we'll release very soon! store.steampowered.com/app/1355000

@radiatoryang.bsky.social found this game and I'm kinda disappointed it looks so un-sexy also not one of your games store.steampowered.com/app/4351380/...

Thinking about how necessary (and lacking) the work of cultural mediation in videogames and digital literature is, like what @ramadaprieto.bsky.social is doing.

"A day as an engineer in a chip factory" is trending in Taiwan. Fab24hr is a work simulator where you play one of several semiconductor engineer roles in a blocky isometric 3D factory. The game is so realistic that it resonates with fab workers — some have likened it to "a horror game" fab24hr.com

Steam Next Fest still going on ⬇️ I also have a mobile version of the game. It's always been my plan and design focus to release for mobile also, and it runs and looks pretty good on iPad-like devices. If you'd like to help test that, send me a message or join our discord: linktr.ee/offscore

i wrote about how to make a logo without using gen-ai because someone asked me to check a logo they made with gen-ai and i felt like we really don't need to gatekeep this kind of knowledge to the people who're too broke to afford a graphic designer. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Since you're preaching, let me hop in. Games on capitalism require a restricted platform that has controlled distribution, lest the devs wish to starve and die. Making a living off of games is antithesis to game preservation. Which, I cannot stress this enough, sucks ass and we need to fight it

I keep preaching about it, but the HTML5 web browser is the most reliable and stable platform for video games (past and future), and most game developers don't care. Mobile web browsers are the biggest reach you can have with your game by far. Don't ask me how to make a living out of it though 🙊

📣 Applications are now OPEN for the 2027 Experimental Games Showcase at GDC! 📣 You have until October 23rd to send us all the weird, innovative and unique things you are working on. More info and apply here: www.experimentalgamesshowcase.com

Organizing an event after TGS week. I won't be hosting this time as I will be out of the city, but people from the community have agreed to help out. I'll be curating talks, so stay tuned. If you have a topic you would be interested in sharing (5 min) and you'll be in Tokyo, reach out!

The thing about video games is you can make them as art that you're making for art's sake, or you can make them as commercial products that you mean to sell to make money; but what will really cause you grief is setting out to do one while convincing yourself you're doing the other.

The veneration of Jensen Huang in #Taiwan: A #massage chain store prints a giant banner soliciting the Taiwanese-American #Nvidia boss to frequent this establishment, and that employees of the chips giant can receive 15% discount after the chips giant chooses to settle at Beitou Shilin Science Park.
