Codey-folk... let's build some cool shit today. You have my permission to spin up the Tron: Legacy soundtrack for the billionth time.

THE GRID.

We need to promote our indie games magazine, but have no marketing budget…

Perhaps this photo of community manager Nick reading Debug #3 in a tree will work?

Today marks one year for many people on the fediverse after Twitter fell apart. I’m glad you’re here, and I hope this place os valuable to you.

The thing that keeps surprising me, but probably should not surprise me, about the aesthetics of rural Ontario or rural Quebec is how they are completely indistinguishable from the aesthetics I am used to from Oklahoma

I am writing my own fscking personal wiki for this game.

I'm at that point. Send help. Or not, I haven't activated coop yet.

cursed fact: Adobe Podcast's "Enhance AI", a tool for noise removal and voice boosting, firmly believes that any audio you give it *must* have human speech.

- Free exploration. Soft gates rather than hard. Player knowledge gates rather than collectibles.
- No explicit tutorials. Games should be mysterious! Let me figure it out. (Help me figure it out.)
- New items with their own rules, i.e. not the hookshot again. Hookshot again is not mysterious.
- Minimal text/exposition.

I've already played A Short Hike. It's great! Tunic is probably the next closest match I've played. It's also great! What else is out there?

PSA: Probably everyone knows this already, but I keep forgetting that Windows 10/11 has a clipboard history.

So if you get annoyed at once again pressing CTRL+C and "losing" your clipboard, just press Win + V to cycle through the history.

As part of my playing around with #gamedev I wanted to experiment with pixel art. I'm a programmer and not an artist, but I used to paint models and studied a bit of how old games were made to look good so I gave it a shot to make a bucket. So here's my first #pixelart ever: A bucket.

Thanks to @maique for the recommendation about Herschel waist packs/bum bags/fanny packs. I picked this up today for when I don't want to carry a massive backpack around.

Proton fucking rocks.

A few years back people would laugh in your face for using Linux to play games. Now I'm playing Starfield & Baldur's Gate 3 on Kubuntu without a care in the world, now just remembering I started making a cup of tea a few hours ago because I got sucked in..

So, those miniature squashes that have appeared at my local supermarket… Are they edible or decorative? 🎃🤔

Double punch to confirm my work VPN 2FA is nice.
