I'm over The Game Awards, I think every game dev out there needs to just start doing this for themselves

I make cool games.

reusing McLuhan’s terminology, we could call the type of game medias we work toward “cool”, in opposition to the “hot” mainstream forms we have nowadays; and they keep cranking it up. see Understanding Medias: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshal...
what is a good word that encompasses that type of longing-based game design?

Online age verification isn't like showing ID at a bar. It's more invasive, affects far more transactions, and poses serious privacy, security, and free speech risks that in-person checks never do. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
Why Isn’t Online Age Verification Just Like Showing Your ID In Person?

I'm honestly starting to suspect that people who use AI are falsely accusing those who don't of using AI using sock accounts so that they have less competition. This seems to be a pretty widespread problem.
Please don't do this.
We poured years of our lives into this game and only worked with real human artists on everything: From the writing to the coding, all work was done by human hands. We do not endorse generative AI and will never use it.

The game is officially funded! Thanks to everyone who has supported the project so far! This wouldn't have been possible without your help!

Saw a YouTube of this. It looks pretty cool! Your monsters have their own AIs and personalities, and even bicker with each other.

Had so much issue with lag on a level I designed until I realized I left mode7 turned on. So obvious in hindsight. #gamedev

New devlog up:

“Designing With an Unhinged Brain (And Why I Stopped Fighting It)”

Turns out my best method for #gamedesign isn't to tame the chaos, but to bloom first and prune later.

If your brain works like mine (god help you), you might relate.

When it comes to game design, no two designers think the same way. Some are ordered and methodical. That’s not me. Well—it’s not entirely me. I design through a kind of chaotic control. Not cont...

I am getting dangerously close to my (testing purposes only) demo.

But it still counts as a demo, right? Right?

I think all game devs have that one skill they're better at and the rest you have to work at. For some it's programming. Some it's coding. Me...it's story and writing.

Just discovered per my coauthors that one of my characters in my game is somehow both the guy who would say "Sir this is a Wendy's" if he worked in fast food and the customer who would make someone say "sir this is a Wendy's."
