Here's the GMTK game I made, pretty happy with the sounds and effects, but definitely should've scoped down and done something tighter #indiedev #gamedev ethans-byproducts.itch.io/downville

I think I'm gonna make a game based on those kids breaking into scientology facilities
If you're playing a card game which lets you merge cards together (7 of diamonds + 4 of diamonds = jack of diamonds) what would you expect to happen when you merge an 8 and a queen?
The past 2 decades of game feel theory in indie games has all been in vain attempt to recreate the sensory ecstasy of hitting a piñata

Hey if you like metroidbrainias, I made one earlier this year! It's free on itch, and people seem to like it a lot. I'd love to expand it into something bigger, so if you know/are a publisher looking for a similar project, please reach out! ethans-byproducts.itch.io/sceptorn

Brother let me know when you find a poem by someone *without* autism
FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · 2mo agoRFK Jr: Kids with autism will never hold a job. They'll never play baseball. They'll never write a poem. They'll never go out on a date.
it's interesting how easily identifiable AI/crypto posts are, even with no mention of AI or crypto by name. Always some vaguely positive combination of numbers, acronyms, and tech buzzwords like "hyped for the BTL-5.5 update! Using this with Gribby-0.9 will really streamline my content pipeline"
Is there anything to the idea that metroidvanias and roguelikes - 2 of the biggest genres in indie games - seem to be shifting in radically opposing directions?

Working on some dialogue for my gritty robot crime movie, lemme know what you think of this: "you son of a glitch! Your mother board's as good as fried!"
Thinking LLMs could gain sentience because their output resembles human speech is like thinking a portrait might come to life if it's painted realistically enough
I feel like we need a different feedback outlet for steam players, because 99% of negative reviews I see boil down to "the game was too hard for me, here are eight paragraphs on why that's an objective failing." Maybe keep the thumbs up, thumbs down, and add a third "too hard" option?

Really thorough and insightful review of tomb of the bloodletter!
Psi/Ben@psientologist.bsky.social · 3mo agoI'm not done with it yet but here's my review of @ethangoldreyer.bsky.social 's Tomb of the Bloodletter. A recommendation from me unless you hate learning words. One of the better things I've played this year and comes very close to being right at the top of the pile. backloggd.com/u/Psientolog...

Psientologist's review of Tomb of the Bloodletter | Backloggd
Roguelikes are a genre that has completely dominated modern gaming and is one that can be Marmite for many, you either love them or you hate them. It’s a genre so large that it isn’t just taking over ...

Finally completed a run on Tomb of the Bloodletter. If you like word games and roguelikes it's a great time. Not a perfect game but (was) under a fiver (I think it's maybe £6 now), has lots of replayability and gets your brain working. Having a good vocabulary helps but there's still tricks to it.
