Playing through FF7 Rebirth, and I refuse to believe Bugenhagen has been standing on a floating ball of materia this whole time. This man is a weeble and he does not fall down.
I’m thrilled to have been able to contribute something silly to a group whose work I’ve been following and enjoying in its many forms for over a decade, even though the circumstances cast a dire shadow over the future of the industry 🙃
We're all into 007 First Light on Remap Radio this week. Plus, Patrick's 20+ hours into Mina the Hollower, we get apocalyptic (yet hopeful?) about the future of owning computers, debut a jingle for our "due to ongoing market conditions" segment, and more! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...
Here's my take on a jingle for the new "Due to Ongoing Market Conditions" segment on @remapradio.bsky.social. Here's hoping @patrickklepek.bsky.social @robzacny.bsky.social @cado.bsky.social and @gameonysus.bsky.social won't need to employ it too often. www.smilingquarter.com/ongoing-mark...

The best part about this is that I drew it without knowing what the champion title would be
12 hours later, there is no question this will be the most personally meaningful video game victory I achieve this year. Shout outs to @hthrflwrs.bsky.social for releasing such a captivating (and maddening) game. (You should play Unfair Flips. It's really cool.)
My main takeaway from SGF this weekend is that there are specific niches the games industry has yet to fill

y'all ever see a take so bad you are forced to immediately go to sleep?
The wife still always seems to find ways to surprise me with good gift ideas. It plays decently well, too!
Post a game with a 10/10 OST I can think of so many, but if I have to pick just 1, my gut tells me it has to be The Messenger Honorable mentions: - Tunic - Ori and the Blind Forest - Shovel Knight - VVVVVV - Final Fantasy IX - Chrono Cross
Game with 10/10 OST Don't expect I'll be the only person to post this, but... (Many others to choose from, but this one has stuck with me for a while!)
Finally deactivated all my accounts on that bird site formally known as Twitter. Feels good.
Even if it's just a short silly thing, it's always satisfying to realize a creative idea that's been rolling around in your head
🎉 New release - Cranky Counter (Don't Play This Game!) 🎉 We just released a new game for the Playdate, but seriously, you must have something more important you should be doing instead. If you insist, you can download it here: smilingquarter.itch.io/cranky-counter
In spite of a hectic end to the year I still managed to find some time and motivation to put the finishing touches on one of my game dev projects over the holiday break. Hopefully I’ll be able to announce something soon?

I recently changed to a new team/role at work and had a bunch of stuff transferred over to me. Today I got an email that said: “Andrew, this email is to inform that you have been designated as the new owner of the following items. If you have any questions, please contact the owner (Andrew)”
I made one of those fancy custom domain handles. Woo?
Today’s emergency alert test was a *great* day to be a mobile developer with a ton of devices on their desk let me tell you…
Congrats to the mosquito that bit my hand for the free covid/flu protection
Yikes, CAPTCHAs are getting pretty intense these days…
Either I invented a new language and alphabet for my latest game project, or I just messed up the layout of my custom pixel font file…
Going to try my hand at writing some dialogue for a silly game project I’m working on. We’ll see how this goes…
My best guess is Jazz Jackrabbit, but runners up are Commander Keen 4 or One Must Fall 2097.
Repost a picture of the first game you remember playing. ... yup XD
