silly comic about nothing in particular

the reaction to the patrick miller 2XKO article is basically why no devs will ever be honest about their process in public and nor should they be. gamers can’t be fucking normal

To celebrate our 1.0.0 launch, we're running a sale on the Steam version! Pick it up if you want to support the team and unlock some cosmetics :) store.steampowered.com/app/1807330/...

"Thank you, 2XKO" I wrote about my thoughts and feelings about 2XKO's announced end of development. Thank you to the team, thanks to the players, and thanks for giving me a chance to learn how to make fighting games. Interactions on this post limited for my sanity. www.patreon.com/pattheflip/p...

How to win at most all things:

This is a fantastic article. I’ve had so many people tell me AI will somehow magically allow them to make a game. It won’t. You know what will? Self-discipline. If you lack the ability to see something through, that’s not changing with AI. www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

Oakland Clubhouse Casuals back at it this Friday! Casuals for Xrd, 2XKO, and whatever old games you wanna play. @mpaulweeks.com is gonna bring some Scramble Heart City setups! Drop me a DM if you wanna come through.

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉

"Many majors ago, I went to play casuals for an indie game. I reached the single open station, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way."
