It's been a while.

Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs.

If you pick up this september’s copy of Patch magazine (@patchmagazine.bsky.social), you may see a familiar face 👀🐛 so chuffed to have been included

if anyone makes the plant pot pal craft, I’d absolutely love to see it!
A page from the Patch magazine, showing an article detailing making an ‘I Am A Caterpillar’ inspired plant-pot-pal. The picture shows the logo and an introductory paragraph saying: “Like everyone, I have long desired to shrink down and crawl my way through a magical forest. So it’s no surprise that the upcoming adventure I Am A Caterpillar has me wiggling with anticipation. “But what am I to do whilst I await its release?” I cried out to no-one at all. Just then, in my peripheral, my plant pots echoed with an emptiness. It was time to create a caterpillar-shaped accessory.” The rest of the text is partial/cut off by the image

ive got this same thing for UI, because for some reason i get nasty hitches the first time certain (very simple) unity UI shows. but not if i just toggled it on for a frame when the game starts 🤷‍♂️

That's a war crime. How is the fact that this headline is openly describing a war crime not the headline. Israel is doing war crimes.

The Associated Press @apnews.com · Aug 12
Israel is in talks about possibly resettling Palestinians from the Gaza Strip in South Sudan. If implemented, the plans would amount to transferring people from one war-ravaged land at risk of famine to another.

i'd say my biggest cheat here is that the 'visual' body is always playing catch-up a tiny bit to the 'real' physics body, which gives me a bit o time to smooth out the worst physics jitters / apply some quite heavy interpolation

the physical body can def be quite jittery at high speeds on the joint
