I'm building a mad-libs style deduction game for my Secret Santa Jam game and I've actually built out a decent system for managing the level scenes and puzzle data for once. Here's to hoping the rest comes together by the deadline🤞

Today is the start of Secret Santa Jam! I can't share what kind of game I'm developing because it might spoil it for my Secret Santa but I've already got a concept I think they're going to like 👀

New: The market for Counter-Strike skins fell $1.75 billion overnight -- that's 25%.
Investors dumped money into the digital item market amid concerns about the S&P 500 and crypto. Then, last night, Valve pushed a market-breaking update to the game

Hey wanna see some cool experimental clicker / idle / incremental games?
Last month for the final project in my 'economics for game designers' class at @nyugamecenter.bsky.social, students made some *incredible* incremental games, so I wanted to do a thread showing off their work!

some interesting historical context re: stories of "chatGPT-induced psychosis" is that when the radio and telephone were invented, there were similar reactions — some people believed they could tune their radio to the frequencies of heaven or received instructions from the dead via the telephone

🫤 Nice yet unmemorable music
👎 Everything is super linear
👎 Controls (even non-motion controls are bleh)
👎👎 Boring overworld traversal
