Do I have a coherent strategy when playing Lumines Arise?

Great question. I'm glad you asked...

First Halloween! Their whole class is dressed as ducklings and the teacher is a duck.

Looking forward to trick or treating tonight.

I made an In Memoriam-style video for a friend yesterday as an elaborate joke (they're still alive), and it has me oddly sentimental about them today.

Normalize memorializing your friendships even if you're just trolling someone. #friendship

I have been prototyping a dice-based battle system, but I took some advice from @indiegameclinic.bsky.social's video on practical ideation techniques and Magnified one mechanic into a much simpler (and very different game). I highly recommend their channel.

I think @blessingjr.bsky.social should give the old King of The Hill another shot. Seasons 1 & 2 are rough, but the rest is pure gold.

Not that you asked, but I highly recommend checking out the episodes "Grand Theft Arlen" and "Get Your Freak Off" to see if those are more to your taste.

What are some S-Tier visual novels available on Steam or Itch? I'm trying to get inspired to make a story-based game. I love sci-fi settings, but will try anything compelling. #VisualNovel #VN #GameDev

I still need to be at Hollow Knight. I got lost and just moved on to something new even though I was enjoying it.

Now 2 years later I want to pick it up but feel like I need to restart...

Me: I'm creating a dice-based combat system prototype with perks and special abilities.

Math: That's 18k+ unique builds without factoring in the armor class options...

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really.

Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are.

This is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
Why ‘Silksong’ Took Seven Years to Make
The highly anticipated indie game has been in production for so long that it’s become an internet meme

Wow what a jam, right guys? I got a late start, completely over scoped for a solo, but was able to pull together an entry. Didn't get a wink of sleep last night and ordered a pizza... Am I doing it right?

Oh no what have I done? I'm soloing GMTK and basically not sleeping. My spouse and child are very supportive and I'm having fun, but I'm tired boss. #GameDev #GMTK

Being a hobby game dev is pretty sweet, but with an infant child and no actual deadline progress is slow. #gamedev #hobbies
