Tzschk, but spooky

Do I have any sound design followers? What are the three tips that will make me immediately good at sound design? I’m using an old pair of Apple earbuds and I live under a busy flight path, so I’m already set up for success.

The undead infect the office TOMORROW! 🧟😱 CORPORATE ROT for the Game Boy Color hits Kickstarter with a playable demo October 26th: www.kickstarter.com/projects/met... #gameboy #gbstudio #kickstarter

Another little neighborhood walk for y'all. Getting down to the final stretch and, clearly, I'm prioritizing my time well. #screenshotsaturday #proceduralgeneration

We made a book! RURAL INDEXING: A COLLECTION OF AMERICAN BUILDINGS, SIGNS, AND SYMBOLS arrives from Rizzoli in March 2027. Our favorite themes and subjects from the thousands of places we've visited since 2010—450+ photos, many never published before. Preorder: linktr.ee/ruralindexingproject

Pretty sure this is the fastest tree I've ever modeled and textured.

Graveyards and sedans, sedans and graveyards.

There are an awful lot of ____tobers. Are we at all worried about dilution?

I think we should be calling them “walkie talkies”

As walking sim dev, the term never felt right for what I make, but I’m at a loss for an alternative. Stroll sim? Meander-athon? Space-out-vania?

So me & @gothpink.bsky.social have been wanting to put out feelers for environment artists (2D/3D) for #southwoods, but we're not sure how to go about it. So uh this is me going about it. We don't have much in the way of budget, we're also looking for publishers. Hit us up in DMs if interested

Show of hands, are we feeling eerie or cozy?

im glad i got into david lynch when i did because it hammered home to me that a story doesn't have to make real world sense at all as long as it has a degree of internal consistency and, importantly, emotional resonance. Nothing in twin peaks s3 makes "sense" but god damn does it feel true

Halfway through October. Feelin' the crunch.

Late start from being out of town, but I'm playing around with some things... We'll see. #screenshotsaturday

Popped into my head today, so maybe I’ll get ahead of it this time. Anyone have any ideas?

Something about video games, that is true for all art, is that people dedicate their life to create stuff whether there is any way to earn money from it or not. People's motivations are very varied. But the side that makes us create something unique just because it's good will always remain in us.

look at me pretending to be a programmer caring about "virtual" "template" "functions" i just want to make video'd games

Every once in a a while, a game idea pops into my head that would require networking and I think, “surely, the stove won’t be hot this time.”

In the Valley of the Underground Mountain, within the compartment nation of Lyptch... 🛤️🏛️🎨The Zium Railway🎨🏛️🛤️ an open world gallery, a new exhibition, now available! Free admission. Be welcomed and enjoy. thezium.art/theziumrailway

Nintendo seems to want very strongly for people to feel nostalgic for a game they seem deeply ashamed of.

Little #gameboy golf prototype for #screenshotsaturday. Can't quite tell if it has the juice, but it was fun to make.

Getting constantly jumped by bandits in RDR2 when I just wanted to have a nice ride about was a direct contributor to me making walking sims. It’s a bummer that the games with the most care and detail put into their worlds are all Stress Playgrounds™.

ICYMI I just released WOLF last week. A 3D First Person Shooter for the Game Boy Color! RT to spread the word please. @itch.io -> thalamusdigital.itch.io/wolf-game-bo... #gameBoy #indieDev #retroGaming

Wondering how you get that job where McDonald’s pays you to make a Grimace game for the Game Boy twenty years after the console was discontinued.

Re: my previous post about CRT effects… see all that beautiful chroma smearing?

For those of you who use these plugins and post in the GBS discord with questions… y’all gotta ping me so I actually see them instead of finding them accidentally four months later, haha.

My latest game came out yesterday. WOLF is a shooter for Game Boy Color. RT to help spread the word please. thalamusdigital.itch.io/wolf-game-bo... ⁠ #indieDev #retrogames #GameBoy

Game design isn’t about being able to identify problems. Everyone who plays games can identify problems. Game design is about diagnosing player experience, having intent, and executing. I think to a lot of folks outside dev, game criticism (an art in itself) is seen as interchangeable with design.

I have to make videogame

it feels impossible and unreal but I lost the closest and longest relationship I have ever had with another human on this earth. My children lost their mother who was the biggest part of their world. Everyone one loved Gita and we will miss her dearly. gofund.me/dd54f2acf

advice for programmers: for most procedural generation you don't actually need "good" number generators! use whatever you like. it doesn't have to be cryptographically secure, it's the x, y position of a cactus.

More games need to made with this exact scope. I don’t mean “1998 low poly vibes”, but “dinosaur with a gun and a jetpack running around collecting eggs with a jump that sounds like a cliché cartoon pogo stick, also, I think they’re a time traveler.” Make your motto, “tenuous at best.”

manifesto jam is such a triumph
