There’s a new KO-35 amplifier out from Teenage Engineering and it has a wacky feature of USB-C I’ve never seen anywhere else before. The amp works for electric guitars, XLR microphones even with phantom power, it also has a few other inputs and outputs.

I never thought I'd make a word game. I certainly never thought I'd make a sequel to a word game. But here we are! Cross Words is part of @play.date Season Three and out this week, today even: play.date/games/cross-...

Freesound.org still undefeated

I keep coming back to this one, it's got a melancholy vibe all its own. Shame both the animator and musician passed away before it became popular.

Good news, I made it to the church, and there’s a nice woman here. I’m sure she’ll help Harry find his daughter and everyone can go home soon. Continuing Silent Hill~ www.twitch.tv/robotspacer #Twitch

New on Patreon: a short video covering the game dev things I’ve been working on this month! www.patreon.com/robotspacer/... #GameDev

Hey @patreon.com, when I upload custom captions for a video I don't need auto-generated captions full of errors. Your Help Center says that’s possible. It’s wrong. When I turn off “Turn on captions,” it removes the captions button from the video entirely. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

We put the demo for Dig! Dig! Dino! in Steam Next Fest, because... why not! Go dig for some weird dinos! 🦖 store.steampowered.com/app/4642320/... #indiedev

I've had an exciting day of Business: ✅ Released an app update on the App Store ✅ Submitted an emergency bug fix update to the App Store (I didn't even swear that much! Please don't ask my wife if this is true) ✅ Filed paperwork for a new LLC so in 7-10 days I can become a Real Game Developer

I'll be joining Silver again this Saturday to continue Tenebris Somnia!

Co-signed, very much enjoying this game. Might need to re-play the first half myself until we find time to finish it together 🤔

I am very excited to join Silver on Saturday to play Tenebris Somnia! If you haven’t seen this game it’s a pixel art survival horror game with FMV cutscenes? It looks great??

A whole bunch of bangers up in here!

NEW!!! IMPERIAL!!!! TEEN!!!!!

I wanted this animation to make someone feel a little better, even if just for a moment. But looking at it now, I realize that the message means something to me too. I guess I needed that little star as well. ✨ #pixelart #animation #1bit

Macintosh b&w art, random pick from my collection day 07

Season 3 is OUT!!! 🎉🥰✨

As a Retro game streamer on Twitch, I've always wanted to be able to choose the general Retro category and a second game category. Right now it's one or the other, limiting discoverability. If you like this idea as a viewer or fellow streamer, vote for it! twitch.uservoice.com/forums/31021...

PC-98 classic Dead of the Brain, which I have *never* played, is coming to Steam complete with a full translation in English! Wishlist it here: store.steampowered.com/app/5056390/...

I mentioned this game on stream tonight and then I said, “I can’t remember the name. I’m pretty sure Sound Mind is in it?” Sigh. Mike, that’s the whole name! You DO remember it. Anyway, can’t wait for Playdate Season 3 to start this week 🎉

I’m playing Silent Hill! For the original PlayStation! For the first time! www.twitch.tv/robotspacer #Twitch

Can anyone recommend a good "tips for releasing a game on Steam" type of article? This is a long ways off for me but I'm starting to think about things like when is the appropriate time to first put up a page for a game, should I register an LLC before I take certain steps, etc. #GameDev

what do you MEAN the developers of Cookie's Bustle contacted every person who registered their copy by mail 25 years ago and invited them to a secret Cookie's Bustle party with live music and merch???
