www.bfxr.net BFXR major update. I need to spend a *lot* more time with the presets of the instruments, but I was so immediately sold by the Mixfxr tool (that just overlaps two existing synths) that I had to put it live RIGHT AWAY. Try it out!

Seeing if I can make Six Match into Slop Match. Some bugs, but mostly works. Yes players can move out of sync, the board has regional-locking like Zookeeper. If it's not animating you can move into it.

I want each player to be able to "wake up" the other if they brick themselves. Might be fun to add dots to a player who keeps dying so you'll need multiple matches to wake them later.

Earlier versions of the game did acknowledge the creators of the original games at the start of each section, and I consider it unacceptable that this was removed at Jon’s direction. Stephen Totilo noticed this change and wrote a nuanced article here: www.gamefile.news/p/a-complica...

gamefile.newsA complicated gameWho gets credit for Order of the Sinking Star? Where should the names appear for the creators of its source material? And would you notice if a great game designer sat next to you?

Unlike Shiren 6, this one gives you early access to a dozen alternate dungeons, minesweeper challenges, and many puzzles that some would call tutorials but are actually a twist on sokoban. bsky.app/profile/allc...

Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate (down to $3.99), the final overhauled version of the last classic Shiren game before the recent revival—it presents as more complex than Shiren 6 but I think 6's biggest magic trick was "simplifying" via just dropping all the tutorials

If you’re ever worried about the quality of art for your game, this is a screenshot of one of the five most influential video games of the last 15 years.

I wind down making a game about an AI, where I wrote my own dialogue system that reads from a spreadsheet, and then I open Bluesky. I would have prefered this discourse to have happened sooner.

Adding this game to the ever growing "can't play online with my family" list. (No we can't meet up, they have toddlers.) I get that for IRL groups this is awesome, but I am so Ben Affleck meme when I read shit like this. bsky.app/profile/itsq...

This rule? In the RPG Zephyr? Owns

Peaked too soon with my dig-at-Clair-Obscur boss fights. No follow up worthy. Then I remembered I also don't like the combat in Undertale as well.

I’m happy to announce the release of a new open source 3D physics engine called Box3D. I’ve been working on this project for a few years now, but it represents over 20 years of experience writing physics engines for games. Read more here: box2d.org/posts/2026/0...

Easy Delivery Co. is part Colin McRae Rally, part egg and spoon race, all Death Stranding-like. Quite promising so far. Wobbly deliveries and dodgy roads backed up by some survival mechanics. Like I'm describing that Kojima game but the points of tension are very different.

The legendary thatgamecompany is releasing a "game-within-a-game" exploring the life of Vincent van Gogh, his brother and sister-in-law, and some of his most influential paintings. No need to play any other part of Sky, just the tutorial. AND I'm PR, so hit me up for interviews, features, etc

868-Back players, a question: What does the "End" button do? I've tried clicking it a dozen times but nothing happens. I assumed you it would let you abandon a run but no, it just vanishes and sends you back to the same run when you click Run.

No one will give me feedback on my silly adventure game about a vacuum cleaner, so I added open world frog riding to it. I hope you're all happy now.
