I usually check out as many games as possible in Next Fest, but the tidal wave of AI trash has beaten me Non-AI indie devs please post your games below and I'll check em out instead Also @steampowered.com PLEASE add an option to filter out AI games in searches. It's killing discoverability #gaming

"Why aren't TAGAP games on Steam" is a question I get asked quite a lot. The main one is that for a free offline game, the only point in being there would be 'discoverability'. The situation was bad half a decade ago, but now? Yeah...

This post is unavailable.

One of the most interesting things about TAGAP X from a creative standpoint is that since it focuses on factions completely different from past games, I have to come up with completely different designs for enemies. Here's one of the service robots being vectorised.

Every few years I start to think if I should move TAGAP website under a CMS. Then stuff like this latest PHP fiasco happens, making me happy that I've stuck to hand-coded HTML/CSS instead. 🤷

🐧🥂 Weekly #Penguin 1000 Yes. This week marks 1000 penguins featured from my collection. To celebrate, a big one. Literally. This is a penguin version of a 'silent server', custom made by Tauno 'Tane' Kuusi. With a guest appearance from an old familiar face.

"The Well of Souls plunges into the ancient aqueduct". I'm currently playtesting again through Catacomb Abyss, in preparation for a big update of the source port. Enjoying the scenery.

I mean. They are just so cute. 13th trip to the ice starts in two weeks and I simply cannot wait to see these amazing creatures again. 🧪🦑🌎🦉 (Photo taken under 2025 NZ AMLR permit)

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Richard “Levelord” Gray. From his legendary work on Duke Nukem 3D to the countless players and developers he inspired, Richard leaves behind a lasting legacy. Rest in peace, Levelord.

🐧 Weekly #Penguin 999 It's starting to get seasonally cold, so how about some penguin hand warmers? These ones are from Delta Sport and change colour when in use. If you've ever seen image-changing coffee cups, it's the same effect. BTW, next week's penguin is a big one - in more ways than one.

Off-topic; PC thing I didn't miss one bit - trying to get games to work at all. Case in point, F.E.A.R.2. The only way I can get it to work is by running it in a window (and no, it doesn't support borderless). Too bad the team to fix it no longer exists and the publisher is now run by Kotick.

32 years ago today, we held the launch party for DOOM II at the Limelight in NYC, a former church. Happy birthday to DOOM II, but also, happy birthday to the Super Shotgun, the be-all and end-all of many a monster.

With me jumping off of PlayStation for obvious reasons, this year's 'spooky game marathon' has focused on PC classics I've been missing for a decade. Painkiller, Necrovision, and F.E.A.R. The last one hasn't aged a day, still brilliant as ever.

Off-topic; Unity's second seppuku is here, this time going full slop. The only interesting thing about this is to find out if they survive to do this the third time. Another day, another reminder why not tying my passion projects to someone else's engine was the right choice.

🐧 Weekly #Penguin 998 On the theme of items I haven't featured for odd reasons; Inflatable beach ball promoting Valiojäätelö Pingviini ice cream. And why I haven't featured it? I don't have an pump to fill it up. However, I decided that huffing n' puffing it to form likely won't kill me. It didn't

Here's a change to get some of my fave games from the past years; both Apsulov and Gori were among my GOTY selections at the time. Only reason I'm not taking part is because I actually already own these... two of them more than once 😅

"Belatedly asking partners for their views on the discontinuation of physical media suggests that Sony is finally realising how consequential that decision actually is" Almost like strong-arming your partners is indeed short-sighted. Gbiz:

Good morning, Europe! Following the reveal of the potentially devastating EU Kids Act, we'd like to remind you that a 1st step to combat the excessive attack on privacy and freedom is signing the political instrument of an ECI: citizens-initiative.... #StopKillingTheInternet

We just can't catch a break, can we? The EU Kids Act is nightmare fuel, if you look beneath the honorable surface claim of "protecting kids online". The breakdown: www.youtube.com/watc... #StopKillingGames #StopKillingTheInternet

I realised I'm getting close to Weekly Penguin No. 1000. It's nuts, so much so that I didn't expect this when I designed the website file architecture in 2007, using file names with "000" format. Time to rethink that one. I have a special penguin mind for that entry.

🐧🥚 Weekly #Penguin 997 Here's a unique collectible I truly treasure. This is a Penguin Pysanky. To over-simplify, think traditional Ukrainian version of Easter Eggs. The egg was custom made by late Mr. Nick Zdinak, a Pysanky artist and a long-time pen friend of my late Mom.

KEEP THE PRESSURE ON SONY! In a recent Kotaku interview NIS CEO Saruhashi says that Sony "is hearing a lot of feedback from players" and that things might not be as set in stone as parts of the industry want you to believe regarding the future of physical media.

Wow, the extras of Alien Breed 35th Anniversary are great, including in-house dev footage from three cancelled Alien Breed titles (one I hadn't even heard of, a strategy game set in the universe).

TAGAP@penguindt.bsky.social

Whoa, double-whammy of retro shooter goodness, remasters of both the (almost) entire Alien Breed series and SiN dropped today. I guess that's the 'playlist' booked for a several weeks forward.

Rockstar can spend millions on real world marketing and create a 400 $ merch box full of clutter, but releasing the actual product in a proper state is too much to ask. You have no idea how much this industry is laughing behind your backs while you still fill their pockets.
