The GAARL! DEMO is out out now on Steam! (and a new web build on @itch.io). Give it a try + Wishlist! store.steampowered.com/app/4944990/...

there's a sense in which digital objects are real, and we're seeing them imperfectly. this is important to me and it's part of why i don't like using things like VHS filters or faking glitchiness. because they're not part of the process. there are already real glitches. there's already a viewglass.

It's honestly nice to hear that most of the AI bubble really is people play-acting to keep their jobs: hermit-tech.com/blog/ai-mani... Doctorow has a big essay on this, but I prefer the source (this isn't an outsider, they're a high profile tech consultant actively mixing it up in the biz)

i will be here selling my games in print for the first time ever!! i am so excited! come see all the cool wares 🤩

i have always been so happy to help ppl learn this stuff, its so magical making things for yourself and seeing ppls eyes light up when they make a thing happen on screen is so fucking cool. yeah holy shit u made a thing, that rules

I seriously cannot recommend this game enough. Along with Baby Steps, it has completely restored my faith in videogames: it turns out that they don't have to suck! They can be incredibly fun, incredibly interesting, and incredibly different, all simultaneously! Demand more from your entertainment.

I played a pre-release version of this and loved it. precision-platforming, momentum!, good movement puzzles, good vibes. can't wait to get back in to see the final version! and to try to beat some of those crazy hard optional challenges...

Also here is a cool screenshot

I have a demo! GAARL is a single screen arcade-y platformer roguelike about climbing chains. My name ended up in the acronym (Gabe's Action Arcade RogueLike) but Pancelor also put a lot of work into this. It is playable in the browser, check it out! matthewlacker.itch.io/gaarl-demo

Horsey Game is released at long last! Behold my magnum flopus! store.steampowered.com/app/3602570/...

oh, is it KOLYDR-posting time?

sometimes we just wanna climb up things to see if we can do it, maybe to get a nice view, or to learn a new hiding spot. it's frustrating if every nook has "rewards" in discone, most paths are uncharted, and you will climb and parkour them with your friends #gamedev #indiegame #screenshotsaturday

Today's games: 💽 ArchaeOS by Florence Smith Nicholls and @mtrc.bsky.social 🔟 Make Ten Deluxe by @pancelor.bsky.social 🔫 Abyss Vaulter by @sinclairstrange.bsky.social Please check out these awesome #IndieGames!! www.youtube.com/live/dP-g9Bg...

The original Make Ten is extremely good - like one of the best casual puzzle concepts I’ve seen in a decade. It’s as satisfying as Bejewelled. Excited to pick this expanded version up!

i really like "the end of gameplay" (releasing today), with a few caveats. i think if you approach it cynically, you won't like it. also, if you are hoping it will clarify what "kill gameplay" means, you will probably just become more confused. that said, i found it very beautiful and cute

It is time! Cattle Crisis has been just released on Itch. Thank you for sticking with me for such a long time. Enjoy! 🕹️ https://krystman.itch.io/cattle-crisis #pico8 #shmup #stg #arcade #indiedev

although there is a sense in which May 11 could be said to be… May 10 Deluxe

New game: Make Ten Deluxe! Select numbers that add to ten, easy. Then try dozens of wild variants -- 35+ modes These are the most surprising, challenging, or otherwise delightful modes that I've made over the past year. Enjoy! $10 / free demo (-20% sale!) pancelor.itch.io/make-ten-del... #pico8
