Hey kid, I'm a computer… stop all the vibecoding

Someone managed to get my game running on a Retroid Pocket 6 😍 (psst ... it's also on sale at 70% off) store.steampowered.com/app/3684910/... #indiegames #retro #pinball #steam #videogames

one thing you learn from making a lot of things is that the nitty gritty details, the millions of tiny invisible decisions, ARE the art. The "higher level ideas" are not nearly as important or interesting

sometimes I fantasize about localizing already-localized things from scratch as if nobody would get mad. Gensokyo? "Phantasmia." Scarlet Devil Mansion? "Crimsonfell." Korindo? "the Smoke and Myrrh"

They call it "Silly Con Valley" for a reason!

the cool thing about geometric algebra is how it unifies concepts, giving you a framework for understanding algebraic structures that seemed unrelated prior in fact, I've done a whole talk about this! www.youtube.com/watch?v=htYh...

sometimes the stuff you take for granted as normal is really fucking weird actually

For those interested, I've created a web build and itch page for my ongoing project Tentatively titled, "Captain Plinky's Dungeon" - a cereal box cd-rom that went maybe a little too hard on the gritty edginess to appeal to the kiddos. tombasche.itch.io/plinks-wip-d... #indiedev #gamedev #itchio

I'm super excited to announce my favorite VR game in the world, SUPERHYPERCUBE, has been ported to the Playstation®VR2, by… ~me, actually~ (with support from the original developers)! It is currently half off if you owned the PS VR1 version. If anyone you know has a PS VR2, please let them know!

I have SUBMITTED FOR REVIEW!

Forever wishing a man counterpart to tomboys caught on (Femboys just aren't the same thing (and are often just women anyway), and like tomboys, some people would feel comfortable with that terminology who don't feel comfortable with "non-binary" and similar things)

Game Theory is that astrolabe. Yudkowsky and company are the priests of the Zahir. They have mistaken a tool potentially useful for observing the world, for the world itself. They've taken a T-shirt printed "RATIONALITY" and pulled it over the most irrational parts of their selves.

Borges once described an astrolabe of such brilliantly ingenious design that any astronomer sent to use it would instead be consumed with obsession over examining the astrolabe's construction, so it was useless for examining the world, and the sultan ordered it thrown into the sea.

My game, Rhythm Doggo, has now been in development for 14* years, and I'm still making lots of progress every day! *dog years

Working on a new tree generation algorithm. The old one was 2D, this new produces 3D volumes. The lighting and shadows are 3D too, using a voxel engine for the game that's been in the works for over a year now.

I have added demo videos to all the iOS card games on patience.c3.cx. If you saw them and wondered what on earth all the different games were like, you can now have a quick look! If you didn't, go look now! #indiedev #indiegame #ios

part of why I don't like AI is bc it's so often the antithesis of caring for the little things, the appreciation of the mundane, of seeing beauty where others haven't yet been able to, and seeking genuine fundamental understanding all in the name of "get product faster" I find it so disheartening

Absolutely spot on www.reddit.com/r/antiai/com...

I’m surely not the first to come to this realisation, but the LLM industrial complex is to tech-life what MAGA is to politics: erode any and all trust in established institutions, people and practices for the benefit of the very few and worst people on the planet in the (poor) guise of freedom.

I’m working on a set of patience/solitaire card games for iOS. Highly polished, good looking, no ads, no AI, no tracking. Hand picked to actually be fun, instead of just including every game out there. A mix of classic, new, and weird. #indiedev #noai TestFlight builds: patience.c3.cx

My silly game is at its lowest price yet - just over a buck. Runs great on Steam Deck (and even Mac!) store.steampowered.com/app/3684910/... #indiegames #pinball #steam #steamdeck

A great read and a reminder on why we do this #indiedev #gamedev illomens.itch.io/no-one-is-go...

@aurahack.ca Some hippie girl at the train platform just had an entire cosmic journey from seeing my Forbidden Traveller bomber jacket.

Happy 10th Birthday to Stephen's Sausage Roll! 🎉

perfectionism is so often seen as a permissive ability to create or drive something towards perfection, but in reality, it's a crippling inability to let go of anything imperfect it's an obsession, it stagnates you, and gets you stuck on things you shouldn't be

"Content" is something to fill an empty vessel: it repositions your view of the world to align with corporations. Art becomes something disposable, fungible, serving a financial interest and nothing more. The word "artist" is right there; I beg you to claim it and leave "content creator" to molder

just kidding, i'll never stop making dog shit ❤️ for the fans

Currently working on making Actually Good solitaire card games for mobile. This means I am working on must-have features such as: cards that wiggle excitedly when they are about to move. #solitaire #indiedev #indiegame
