Still can't believe this made it to prime time. On a Nintendo platform no less 😂

The Ruins of Calaworm now has a RELEASE DATE! Hell yeah! 🥳 I'm currently writing the very last track for it. Swirling samples of sounds, origins long forgotten, NES synths, fretless bass, harpsichord, non-vib strings, crisp piano...

Release Date Announcement

Today is a special day ... On July 24, in the year of Covid, a humble unknown German Radiology Technologist decided to take one last shot at his Programming Skills, and make a game. After 5 or 6 faile...

When us Millennials hit management positions, the world is going to see some serious shit: -Born using computers, probably know VLOOKUP and how to edit a registry -Anti establishment, pro human rights and kindness -Sense of humor that will land everyone in HR -95% distrust mainstream news media

I don't consider #ruinsOfCalaworm super-difficult (compared to traditional RLs) - at times, tho, it can feel pretty oppressive and lonely (music by @composertom.bsky.social emphasizes that). Down in the vaults the light radius is smaller, and a few Survival elements (e.g. Equip Strain) do the rest.

#ruinsOfCalaworm final demo build will hit @itch.io servers later tonight. Overall, the game is a wrap! Yay! Here's the accompanying devLog entry where I am commemorating my achievement (I probably should do these more often - writing devLogs, not celebrating myself, that is🤔). #roguelike #indieGame

The Ruins have finally been conquered: Demo Incoming

Yes, you read that right. And not just done , but DONE, DONE, DONE , as Rumi, Zoe and Mira would probably put it. Mechanics, content, story, menus, progression data, highscores, features, polish ... i...

Ruins of Calaworm demo is ONLINE! Check out this charming roguelike with whimsical lovecraftian puzzles and action. I wrote the #gamemusic, combining retro game synthesizers, real viola players, and inspiration from 20th century French and Soviet surrealist composers, as well as Renaissance music

#ruinsOfCalaworm Demo is online on @itch.io! This might be the most polished friday build ever, in the history of videogames, #famousLastWords. Yeah, right. 7 mins after upload I spotted the first bug, but so far it's just a minor menu thingy.😅 Have fun and spread the word!👻❤️🎲 #roguelike #indieGame

Difficulty Settings are a WRAP! These are the final legs of my #gameDev journey. 🥹 Work on #ruinsOfCalaworm will be done in a couple of days, a week or two at most. Next in line for coding: • Logic and visual representation of unlocking diff_page • Displaying intro story #roguelike #gameDev

keeping Arash Hackimi in my heart tonight they’re an Iranian game designer who managed to send an email through the Iranian firewall, and it’s a profoundly moving and human read insertcredit.com/feature/a-ga...

A Game Developer Without Internet

Iran has been without internet for 9 days. Arash sent a letter as a developer without the internet, in the few moments when the great firewall faltered.

Some of these maps are just beautiful.

Massive respect to the people of Iran. Huge protests over the past 2 weeks. Government buildings burned, entire cities under protester control, police joining forces with protesters. Total internet and phone blackout for the past 24 hours. Follow my threads if you want more info @tom_jensen_composer

Robert Abele ~ Stick of Gold, 2025

Watching early Villeneuve movies - they're very intense and interesting. Incendies - re-living a middle eastern civil war ~1970s Enemy - quietly unsettling verging on very strange. Jake Gyllenhaal is awesome Prisoner - just started, Jake Gyllenhaal again, and Paul Dano PERFRECTLY cast...

For about 10 years, when our kids were young, I would do a quick sketch of our house on Christmas Eve after everything would quiet down. This is from 2016...gouache over acrylic, I think. Merry and Happy! #art #landscape #pleinair #sketch #happyholidays

Fantastic opening theme writing. Very nice economy of material (making something from only a few notes, or a single idea). Enjoying this series recently... www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJlO...
