The trailer is not joking, you can torment yourself by playing on a dance pad. This is free, you could be doing this right now.
📣Announcing the BEAT WEAVER DEMO! Sound blast your way through a mini campaign including music by @redvoxband.com, @nellative.bsky.social and more. 👉Play now: store.steampowered.com/app/4592220/... #indiegame #rhythmgame #solodev
I have been alpha testing this for a while, and I can say that this is one of the most satisfying music games I have played in a while, at least in terms of how the moment to moment mechanics work. You can tell the custom engine was worth it when you're able to feel every single note you play.
The Beat Weaver demo has a launch date! #rhythmgame #indiegame #indiedev #solodev
This thread was already crazy from the word go, finding out there's a previously undocumented StepManiaX location hiding in all of the obviously pirated games was just the cherry on top. Now I can sleep knowing six years of personal expression is flanked by the most AI vinyl drape imaginable.
absolutely unhinged vibes at the new soft play place near us join me for a thread
This was my first time seeing Total Nuclear Annihilation in action, and I can already tell I'm going to struggle to get even one reactor down at Southern Fried Gaming Expo. Who cares when it sounds this good.
If you are finding us from @gamesdonequick.com, hello! Shoutouts to the absolute insane showcase of @dcellgames.com's UNBEATABLE by @punchystream.bsky.social, and the amazing speedrun of @scottdanesi.bsky.social's Total Nuclear Annihilation by Ryan McSquid!! Check out their tracks in #StepManiaX!
I have been alpha testing this for a while now, and I can say you absolutely need to try this when it’s available. Every song feels fresh and new, and it’s one of the most fun games to be bad at.
My 3D rhythm game can totally change how you approach each song. The demo drops this summer! Wishlist on Steam to be the first to play! 👉 s.team/a/4265140 #rhythmgame #音楽ゲーム #solodev #indiegame #screenshotsaturday
for some reason @lightningxce.bsky.social wouldn't ship my suggested changes for Tribal Style
Today we celebrate another special #StepManiaX release for our friends in Japan in celebration of SMX being at @evo.gg Japan 2026! 3 new songs are available, featuring new music from Naoki Maeda, PaperKitty, and a highly requested @kyleaward.bsky.social track remastered for SMX! Out now worldwide!
We have an exciting new product for fans of insects with the wrong number of legs @stepmaniax.com

I think this will be streaming on the MagFest channel, there’s a lot of them and it’s not clear which one it is: www.twitch.tv/magfest
I still can't believe @dcellgames.com said yes to me doing things after Fortnite Quaver, go buy their game in FOUR DAYS or you'll make ladybug sad. (also play their songs in @stepmaniax.com if you run across a machine)

Can’t believe @icedragon.io, sponge, and I just pulled off a tournament around the never played DDR X Team Battle mode, only to then pivot into a never played Ultramix 4 Quads grand finals. We’ll have more footage later, but congrats to everyone who participated, and their fantastic posters.
get in the skyline, me and @solidangles.bsky.social are going to Twinstar
#StepManiaX Update #60 is here, bringing more FREE tracks to SMX! Tracks from Monstercat's artists are on full blast, with THIRST & @nuphory.com bringing a hypertrance-phonk hybrid, Foxela & Britt Lari's poppy vibe, KOVEN & @aeonmode.bsky.social 's drum & bass, and a classic from DMI! Out now!

www.jmiandmidid.com We're back! (but underconstruction) but definitely back. New music is on the way :)!
Enjoy this video game concept I have been cooking up for the last few months. Surely there's a market for camera-based dancing focused solely on eurobeat and hyper techno remixes of Touhou Project songs. Also, Happy Birthday @solidangles.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGDM...
This started as a joke, but ended up being an effective way to isolate GPUs from the rest of builds, due to it having insane 20" x 30" 300 DPI resolution and not being very memory or CPU heavy. Takes forever, but easily the most delicious looking Blender benchmark. drive.google.com/file/d/10cST...
@icedragon.io has just released icedragon.io/snek-box/, and I'm here to tell you why you should get it. youtu.be/AIB6u8I4EOw
Man this was a cool one to work on, if only because it's coming from someone who is open about how and why they make the creative decisions they do. I had zero good ideas for how to make this until I discovered its original background as "When The Wolves Sing".
When The Sun Goes Down by Ken Blast is now on @stepmaniax.com! ☀️🐺 The team put a lot of love into the video and chart, so please enjoy my early eurobeat debut in a whole new light on StepManiaX! www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hVL... (Much ❤️ to @jimmytork.nl for pinging me with the news, also!)
