Key art for Augustravaganza 2026. It's a top-down view of a beach, with a wave breaking over the top. Inside the wave, there's some text: "2026 Augustravaganza! Playdate Community Sale. Over 60 games on sale! Runs from August 1st through August 7th, pacific time. On the beach, key arts of various Playdate games are buried in the sand. There's text that reads: "Visit Catalog on your Playdate! Or, head to... play.date/games/tags/on-sale"

Making the decision to move over to Godot from unreal for my internal projects. Am after some good resources and primers to help with the transition from a unity/unreal space! Already familiar with the Node concept from previous tinkering, but any protips or gotchas to watch out for doubly helpful

been having a rough time lately and rewatched Bigtop Burger this morning. it's a nice reminder that a lot of negativity in the world comes from the obedience of normal people, whether out of fear or the promise of rewards. sometimes one person saying "NO!" can make a big difference.

Heres some full game play from our current build. Casual players will have fun, but the game is tuned for players who enjoy a high skill gap. There's real depth and nuance to the game and getting a run like this takes a lot of practice and mastery.

i feel like my thoughts on the matter have been pretty clear from the word go, but just in case: the moment i think automating creativity out of existence is a good idea is the day i've been unceremoniously replaced by an evil lena that has bad opinions. (put another way: i'll never use gen ai)

Assets that I made for the 2024 Roguelike Celebration Steam sale page. 🧑‍🎨 The tallish tile size here I'm very fond of. I choose it because it reminds me of the tall grid often in ASCII roguelikes, but it also had some benefits when it came to actually draw the tiles & sprites.

Rogue inspired sprites/tiles. Pictured: Bat, Yeti, mango, Aquator, Ice monster, Centaur, Nymph, @, KestrelRogue inspired sprites/tiles. Pictured: Hobgoblin, @, Orc, Quagga, Phantom, Medusa, Rattlesnake, TrollRogue inspired sprites/tiles. Pictured: Ur-vile, Wraith, Zombie, Dragon, Vampire, @, EmuRogue inspired sprites/tiles.

This is probably the biggest moment of my life 😭 After 4 years, the Game UI Bible has finally launched for all the world to see. A 400+ page tome of Game UI/UX goodness, celebrating all the weird and wonderful intricacies of this field. I'm SO proud of this book, and for you all to read it!

From a database to a full-fledged bible! ✨🕺 We've collabed with @eddcoates.bsky.social on the Game UI Bible, a 500+ page hardback adventure through the UI/UX of loads of your favourite games 🎮 Let us entice you with a limited signed bookplate by Edd himself and more below 🔗👇

Make it exist first... then leave it exactly as it is because quite frankly other tasks take priority sometimes. It's already good enough and nobody will spot that tiny mistake, and the fact that you created something in the first place is already an achievement

AI is next level gatekeeping. Its proponents don’t just tell you that you’re incapable of doing a thing, they imply that nobody else is gonna be able to do it either, and suggest you pay them to do it for you, badly. Can’t be having with that nonsense. I’d rather learn to do things badly for myself

Took the game down to Develop this week, great feedback from everyone who played: Polished, responsive game play with lovely game feel combined with stellar art and presentation. We just need more help with exposure and getting our wish list numbers up! Re shares appreciated!
