Le Pixel Hunt - Making Games at the End of the World

Allez hop, dans le coffre.

Réussir à remplacer un truc que tout le monde déteste par un truc que tout le monde déteste encore plus, c'est fort.

Each drawing in our game is hand-crafted 🌻 Each line of code is typed manually 🪷 Each asset of every scene is placed carefully 🌺 Each music and each sound is made thoughtfully 🪻 We love making this game and we hope some of you will love playing it 💌

The shooting that happened in Trappes, France is a racist terrorist act. It is disgusting and barbaric. And of course, all the politicians who spread hate and division have a shared responsibility for it - as well as the media that platform them. Fuck them.

Why make games in a burning world?

Si vous avez aimé la petite minute et quelques secondes de @thepixelhunt.bsky.social que j'ai pu vous faire entendre sur France Inter, n'hésitez pas à l'écouter 32 minutes de plus chez @yamukass.bsky.social, c'est passionnant et ça fait se poser plein de bonnes questions. youtu.be/ne5xdgl6t44?...

I have demo fever. My doctor prescribed the Knuckle Paradise by @flying-oak.com The pixel art is crisp & colorful. The combat feels amazingly crunchy. You play as Jane, a retired muay thai boxer who is forced into an underground fighting tournament on an abandoned amusement park island.

Je suis tellement heureuse et fière de vous présenter cette nouvelle saison 🩵 Merci @thepixelhunt.bsky.social d'ouvrir le bal !

Peut-être plus que tout le reste avec ces gens, ce qui me choque c'est leur absence totale d'imagination. "Futur = voiture volante", c'est le niveau zéro de la projection.

Pourquoi parler de jeux vidéo quand le monde brûle ? Encore pire, pourquoi en créer ? J'ai adoré cet entretien mené avec beaucoup de talent par @yamukass.bsky.social, qui donne dde la rage et de l'espoir. Les jeux ne changeront pas le monde, et c'est tant mieux. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ne5x...

I wish every horror game would end with that sentence: "Seeing the current state the world, we understand your urge to feel like it could be even worse. We're happy to have provided you with a semblance of solace. We hope you now feel brave enough to get the fuckers who put you in that state."

New episode out! Simple catch-up. Loads of games we played over the last few months. #podcast #gamingpodcast #videogames

Grim Fandango. I played it as my father was dying from cancer, and could not believe how seen I felt. This game genuinely kept me going through that time, and I will always revere it for this.

Sleeping on the train is so brave. I admire those who do it. To all the the people whose shoulders I drooled on in the past: sorry. To all the the people who drooled on mine: no problem. It's not you, it's late stage neoliberal capitalism.

Hey, about three months later I am still looking for work. I have done senior level work, I’m comfortable owning zones, writing cutscenes, and environmental narrative. Open to working in other mediums as well.

fun demo, by the folks who made staredenn!
