Hi! I'm 50% of Bit Golem (design, writing, promo, spaghetti code). Some games I am/was involved in: Pool of Madness, Dagon, Darkwood, Butcher. Interests include art, #indiegames, sci-fi, music and beating insomnia. Nice to meet you! #indiedev #gamedev #horror

Girls' Night, 2018, Malcolm T. Liepke.

One of my favorite enemies from "Ecstatica" - the asshole table, now in glorious HD.

Ecstatica is a British game and it really shows. It has an unsettling atmosphere reminiscent of a 70s horror film like The Wicker Man or Don't Look Now, but also a table that comes to life and starts swearing and hitting you.

Check out Ecstatica! A one-of-a-kind survival horror game. And yes, there is a sequel which was also re-released. The 'one of a kind' statement still stands. You should probably only play the first game.

Ecstatica is out on Steam in an enhanced version featuring, among others, high resolution. Best ellipsoid fever dream simulator out there. #retrogaming #dosgaming

I'm sure there are still a lot of people out there that don't know we're working on a weird point and click adventure with deduction mechanics that owes as much to What Remains of Edith Finch as to Return of he Obra Dinn (but probably easier 😅) So, wishlist and make some noise!

Wish everyone was using a CRT to play our game. The smoothness *chef's kiss*

Give our turn-based-yet-seamless horror pool roguelite a good whirl 🌀 before Steam Next Fest ends: store.steampowered.com/app/2887480/... 👈 Deadly pool rituals - a perfect Sunday activity for the whole family! #indiegame #steamnextfest #ホラーゲーム #gamedev

Can't sleep, so here's my vapourwave login screen. Asahi Linux on an M1 Macbook running Hyprland and sysc-greet. #linux #fedora #hyprland #vapourwave

In the Japanese PC-88 port of Ultima 3: Exodus by Pony Canyon, if you try to Talk/Transact (T key) to an enemy monster, they literally say "FUCK YOU!!" in English. Hilarious, and apparently nobody has discovered or posted about this before online in English or Japanese

I completed Diablo vanilla/Belzebub/The Hell many times, so I'm excited for this one. The Tristram theme is tattooed on my brain. #retrogaming #diablo #gaming

In case you've missed it - you can now add links to your bluesky profile. Nice one!

As a Halloween treat, Small Saga is currently 20% off on the Switch and PC.

Thank you so much @futuregamesshow.bsky.social for covering Pool of Madness and adding it to your top list! It was awesome to see your reactions. Here are some shots from today's stream! #steamnextfest #nextfest

Steam Next Fest pick of the day: Pool of Madness. It's Balatro meets pool on a ship from hell complete with a gun, skulls, and dead fish.

POV: join the @futuregamesshow.bsky.social live stream, discover Pool of Madness is in FGS current Top 3 Next Fest demos! Thank you @retr0j.bsky.social & the crew 🔥 #steamnextfest #indiegame

The Amiga version of the Secret of Monkey Island: 32 colors instead of 256 on a VGA display, but certainly better sound given what was available back then on PC.

Ah yes, this absolute ellipsoid gem. I was in love with it when it came out and remember running home from the shop as fast as I could to play it.

Got myself a gift. Gotta love the Gigeresque artwork. #dosgaming #amiga #retrogaming

Concept art for Pool of Madness. No gen AI was used. Sometimes ink gets spilled and you have to start again. A cat may or may not have been involved. #art #artsky #conceptart #gamedev #indiegame

I'm tired of hustling, boss. Play my non-AI game during Next Fest, it's my birthday? #SteamNextFest #NextFest #indiedev #indiegame

This one flips on full nostalgia mode. So does the Bubble Bobble theme, but I then can't get it out of my head for days, so this is the safer option. #amiga #gamemusic #videogamemusic #retrogaming

"I’ve spent a couple of hours getting lost in its arcane ways, and it’s proving to be one of my highlights of Steam’s demo-focused event." "This strange fusion of roguelite elements and table sports is one of the more original settings I’ve seen this week." Thanks, Mike Holmes! 🔥

I fear I’ve cooked

Work on a game for years. Get buried by AI slop. Yikes. Hope the Steam algorithm learns what to weed out by tomorrow. #SteamNextFest #NextFest

Kenney hit the infamous "two billionaires with one post" achievement, remains very rare, also shows once again that money does not equal intelligence, capability, or insight: Kenney is obviously right.

Steam Next Fest is now LIVE and so is the demo for our horror pool roguelite... with guns! Play it here: store.steampowered.com/app/2887480/... 🎱🩸💀 Have fun and thank you for the reviews so far 🖤 #SteamNextFest #NextFest #indiegame

Old #picoCAD model imported into #picoCAD2 - need to remake this one at some point in the near future. #agracing #wip3out #wipout #auricom

Loving this trailer for Pool of Madness by Fat Roll Gang storyboard / editing / motion design by @franckbesancon.bsky.social music by @clementpanchout.bsky.social #gamedev #horror #roguelite #screenshotsaturday

For those who don’t know, I also make game trailers, and I had the pleasure of making this one! Pool, gun, sanity problems, some Void Horrors, what more could you ask for? Give the demo a go! 🎱🐙💀

Buahaha! And I thought that Max Payne was so special 🤣

The Pool of Madness Next Fest DEMO is LIVE on Steam! ...so turn the volume up 🔊, watch the ✨ NEW TRAILER ✨ and get into the horror pool mood! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #steamnextfest

486 DX2 ready-to-go down in the lab! #DosGaming #RetroComputing

MDK doesn’t age for me. I absolutely love the style and feel of this game. Giger-inspired without overdoing it, unlike so many games, and with an identity of its own. #crtgaming #retrogaming #dosgaming #retro #retrogames

mdk-sdl: MDK ported to C# and SDL. Will be checking that out. I remember the original wouldn't run on my Cyrix processor, so I had to buy another one. #retrogaming #dosgaming #gaming

My Amiga Boing Ball and Terry Davis stickers are here 👌 #amiga #templeos

Remember Transarctica by Silmarils? I've never played it, but I've loved the atmosphere and art since I first saw it in a magazine in 1993. #retrogaming #dosgaming #amiga #randomgamesaturday
