#Warlordocracy Ch.5 is out and the main story is finished. Gonna playtest all summer, then leave early access in Aug. Then Ch.6 will be set 25 years later, but I'm not gonna wait 25 years like David Lynch.

gamedev is when random people are one light beer bender away from deploying something like "controls making a game harder means the controls are bad" at you

wife: how was guarding the two paths today, honey?

guard: [looking away] fine

wife: did something happen?

guard: [tearing up] no

wife: would the other guard tell me something happened?

this pride I feel for having released an overwhelmingly positive game made using Godot is 100% irrational. Godot is so obviously feature packed! shouldn't surprise anyone; yes, releasing a game in Godot is not only 'doable' but an opportunity to create .,~'something good'~,.

Forgot to mention Spirit Ocean. I really enjoyed the demo, but I'm not sure if it's still in development:

I love when engineers get a perverse idea and run with it. This is a recently published concept for a "biohybrid" mechanical dog with bioidentical artificial human skin and muscle tissue. Given recently published work on artificial tissue, this isn't that far-fetched. 🧪

Before I forget, here's my Random Game Saturday entry: Penguin Land! This is a cute puzzle game that's much tougher than the box art would have you think. Between this and Pengo, Sega was very good at putting their name on quality penguin games!
