it's a close race between Titanium Court and Cairn for me. Big Walk and Marathon would probably have chance, but I need to play more of them

sunset visitor 斜陽過客 | Prove You're Human - Wishlist Now!@sunsetvisitor.studio · 4d ago1000xRESIST is OUT NOW on Nintendo Switch 2. After all the compromises made on Switch 1, this feels like a full circle moment. PC quality, high resolutions, and haptics have come to the portable experience.

didn't get to see the ending of big walk because the game had a memory leak when it was my turn to go through the turnstile :(

Gonna be blunt, the reason I complain about AI so much is because it's made so much extra work for me, as I'm inundated with AI slopware games that I have to sort through and filter out, if this garbage tech ceased to exist tomorrow, it would be an immediate ease of that workload.

Falling asleep and hoping I wake up in the alternate reality where Sufjan Stevens did write an album for each of the 50 states. At the very least, one for New York.
This rules: @adriansandoval.net has been building a wiki about local Philadelphia game dev history. AND, recognizing that he is a single point of failure, he's seeking local government funding to support the site and partner with local groups for its stewardship
Made a game with some friends for GMTK Jam this year. It's a game about organizing people in a photo before the shutter timer goes off, and I think it's pretty fun :) jeremykdev.itch.io/get-my-good-...

one of the things about working in a creative field is that you sometimes end up watching stuff that you might not personally love but which is doing something interesting / important / useful to your project over and over and over again
has anyone made a solo journaling or mapmaking ttrpg that uses bespoke drawing or procgen software? something like Moss or Become a Great Artist. seems like there's some cool stuff to be explored there

genuinely one of the most inspirational games for my personal process and approach to making a narrative game. is Pelican Post can live up to a fraction of what this game achieves, I’d be so happy

I ended up writing a SRT caption parser for gamemaker for a little thing i was working on. i thought about releasing it as an extension, but also realized that my understanding of delta time is shaky at best lol
Virtue and a Sledgehammer False Awakening (Demo Soundtrack EP) is out now on @bandcamp.com! a short collection of some of the tracks featured on the demo, featuring tracks that might end up different on the final release as the game is still a work in progress, AND the tracks from both trailers! ♥️
On the physical games discourse: it left an indelible mark on my soul when 10-year-old me saw that the player character in the Animal Crossing Wild World manual was named Drew.
