mcoorlim is developing Torchlike

The demo for Torchlike is out! You are trapped in an endless dungeon, and will only survive as long as your torch does. How deep can you go before the darkness claims you? * 20 procedurally generated levels * Permadeath * Upgrade potions to boost stats for the run * No monsters or jumpscares

RT if you don't use AI for coding

Humane monster replaces monstrous human.

The only legit way to make games is in your parents' basement on a ZX Spectrum or Commodore 64. Apple II is a marginal case and you should consider upgrading by 2030.

Question to devs & players: I've had a long discussion with an artist about art in games and especially Steam capsules... he hates AI art, but he uses Photoshop’s Generative Fill and thinks it’s perfectly fine because he paid for it. What are your thoughts on this? #ai #games #gamedev

My first 5 TTRPGs in the order I played* them: 1. Red Box Basic DnD 2. 2e ADnD 3. Shadowrun 4. GURPS 5. Warhammer FRPG *does not include all the random books I read but couldn't find anyone to play back in the early 90s, looking at you Palladium and FASA

Opportunities for indy publishing in many fields. When I was a kid if you wanted to sell your own game you had to head to a locally owned computer store with ziplock baggies and convince the owner to let you sell on consignment. Probably on cassette tape.

Wins all around.

If I had a day job I would be making so many weird side projects you guys. Somebody hire me to write or design so I can create extremely niche games I can give away for free.

Be the opposite of this.

A, B, A, C, A, B, B was the code on the Sega Genesis to enable blood in Mortal Kombat.

I've been working on a Godot shader tutorial series for a little while now and I'm happy to finally release the first part today! It covers the absolute basics: vertex and fragment shaders, rasterization, parameters, and shader hints. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJv3...

He's just lucky Emperor Norton died the year before.

Truth in advertising

*teleports behind congress* It's nothing personal, kid.

Never have I identified so deeply with a meme.

The masses cry out for radical sincerity.

And now my narrative analysis of Maniac Mansion is live as well.

Next Fest is starting today. Wanna play a tightly-scoped game about running around procedurally-generated dungeons while your torch slowly dies? Check out the demo for Torchlike. #steamnextfest #indiegames #noAI store.steampowered.com/app/5038760/...

If you’re stuck for horror movies to watch this Halloween, here’s an epic chart. i.ibb.co/fdYDRyLX/Hor...

1) I'm on the board of the Ray Bradbury Center 2) I am co-editing a new anthology (with Carrie Cooper, Assistant Director of the Ray Bradbury Center and public humanities scholar).

Every week I'm like

M. Night Shyamalan's YouTube channel (which is something he has now) came out of nowhere with this great line.

The most suspiciously sexy region of England.

Sega Dreamcast feeling really smug right about now.

Last weekend to judge #IFComp games!

the guy running against hitler put hitler into his government and handed power over to him. so actually people should probably have looked closer at him. that's a good metaphor for biden though, he also handed power peacefully over to a fascist after that fascist had previously attempted a coup.

Hell Yeah Alucard

My playthrough of 1987's Maniac Mansion is now up on my YouTube channel. Look for my narrative analysis of the game next week! #retroGaming

Important for anyone with an Nvidia card btw Getting this out there if it hasn't been already, turn this off! It's automatically switched on after the recent updates.
