Apart from the narrative excellence, inviting complexity and wonderful oddity of Caves of Qud, I really enjoyed how a trailer from ten years ago youtu.be/Qqz0p_kiDIQ kept the idea, tone and appeal the same. Kudos to everyone involved (game, trailer and everything) @cavesofqud.com & @kitfoxgames.com

@owengoss.com and Matt made this gem of a daily puzzler. It tickles my brain and is a fun challenge, a lil chessy and a lil wordle-y.

Why on earth are auto-collapsing FAQ accordions a thing? I can't CTRL+F through them, the site content jumps for an absolutely useless animation and you're "saving screen space"? Bad on desktop, horrific on mobile.

If you're in Dubrovnik as well, I love talking gamedesign, marketing and The Games You Make. Both in the sense of our very own game, as well as the game you are working on and why you're working on it.

I am beginning to understand game dev like this in simiöar ways. Embracing serendipity in design is delightful, but feels awkward at first and is hard to plan, but definitely worth it.
so the mental model I use is that we don't just 'make' a game, we 'discover it', and that the best way to make something that is novel is to really pay attention as it's being developed and change course when you discover something you didn't know, and user testing is an ideal way to do that

I noticed during Steam Next microtrailers were absolutely essential, the tinder-like queue really boiled down the trailer best practices to a few seconds.
In other news, @microtrailers.bsky.social has made a comeback as well!

With all these AI Bots crawling about, I am proposing a new Captcha: the Motion Captcha. Or as we call it, the "prove it, move it". It needs full access to camera and depth sensor and will prompt you various dances and verify your likeness to a living human.

Making silly little games with others is a favorite activity of mine. #globalgamejam was a triumph once more, I encourage everyone to go to an out of town jam! Meet new people and make games! Kudos to the GameDev Regensburg Team and sponsors.
