Josh | Sumo RPG Dev 🇵🇷
@mybaconsmellinfine.bsky.social
A first-time Puerto Rican developer from Brooklyn, NY, self-taught in game design, art direction, and coding in under a year, creating the first serious sumo narrative RPG, blending authentic Japanese culture with a heartfelt slice-of-life story.

My first game.

It crashes sometimes. The art’s not final. Characters occasionally fall into the void of nothingness. But it runs. It’s real.

My daughter was the first to play it. She laughed at the funny parts.

That alone made everything worth it.

I didn't have $520,000 for a #GameAwards Trailer so I'm posting my cute Timed Hit RPG where you brutally murder all the Zodiac signs here instead for free.

Former Yokozuna Hakuho, whose Hakuho Dayan Sumo & Sports Company's theme is "Uniting the World Through Sumo," always knew the concept would be pointless without the inclusion of women and girls in the sport.

Therefore, with pride and pleasure, the yokozuna announced today (Dec. 1) that the 2026...

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

I really admire Samus Aran, because sometimes I too deal with challenges by curling up into a ball.

If you fell down that first hole in Hollow Knight Silksong that took you back to the beginning, you have to repost this. That’s the rule.

We were going to do another big marketing stunt for THE TOXIC AVENGER UNRATED. Instead, Toxie, whose life was upended by crushing medical bills, has joined forces with Undue Medical Debt to erase at least $5 million in un-payable medical debt for those who need it most.
