Runner by @truantpixel.com is 3 years old! It was a blast to create a nostalgic take on 80's anime, including two tracks with featuring the amazing Itoki Hana @1t0lc1.bsky.social. Give it a listen if you've never heard, and give the game a look if you're into VR anime city bike action.

Yes, there is an option to mute Bubsy... But he's got something to say about that too!

Bscotch outdid themselves with this update. With patch 1.2 and 1.3 out the game has become ALL THE THINGS. We had a blast making some new boss bangers and a slew of new SFX.

Nope. One pass now, one price, which will be way higher than expo level. "Start-up" discount pricing is not going to apply to the vast majority of ppl attending. We'll attend, but we might have to buy 1 pass instead of 2, or none at all lol. The rest of the pitch deck is sensational hype nonsense.

Game Developers Conference @officialgdc.bsky.social · 16d

We're changing the game.

Fat Bard @fatbard.com · 19d

Check out the demo, we've done a slew of SFX to spice things up 🔥🔥🔥

Since I was 12, so......28 years! I sat on it and cracked the front of the body a bit when I was wrestling with my younger brother. Still works even if the sound is a bit jank.

To celebrate the release of the "Purrfect Collection", here's me playing Bubsy 4D with the optional (yet surprisingly viable) tank controls!

A lifetime of stretching haha. My left hand (which is fretting the neck) has a pinky that is about 0.75cm longer than the other hand from all the playing I did age 12 onward.

Colleague from Atari sent me a video of his speedrun of the first Bubsy 4D level and um... It's amazing.

This took him HOURS to pull off, uses a speed exploit and (obviously) skips all optional content.

It's that time of year again when I need to call out professors and teachers who keep asking their students to cold email developers to interview them for a class assignment.

Stop assigning this to students.

No really. STOP. Please stop.

I have other suggestions for you- stay with me...

100000%. I get these emails a few times a year and they're always the same meaningless questions. I immediately spin the interview around and give them answers to the kind of questions they should be asking.

It was great to meet you and @sabakudoesart.bsky.social, glad to see you survived all 5 con days haha. I barely survived 3.
