Nice write-up from @abhisundu.bsky.social about their newest project! abhimonk.itch.io/static-blade... It's wonderful to see abhi's iterations on adventure games. In a couple years I bet they're going to make a smash hit. Fans will wonder about this "overnight success" that really took 10+ years.

I've been chasing this dragon for 10 years (post-jam technical devlog)

Back in 2015, I took my first computer science class. Our second assignment was to make a simple text-based game in Java. I realized: I can make games with this! I remembered using gamemaker with drag...

when dudes succeed wildly, people say "wow he's amazing, I could never do that" when non-dudes succeed wildly, people say "wow that must be easy, I guess I could do that" and it makes me feel a lot of things I do not want to feel

Quick thread because we launched 868-BACK yesterday and it's not everyday you get to launch the sequel to the game that inspired Overland and is made by one of the game designers you (and your husband) admire most on planet earth. So it's ok to say that 868-BACK is a bit of a 'bucket list' project.

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

When students ask "what's the point of these obscure mathematical facts, who would ever use these?" the answer is GAME DEVS! Just today it was useful for me to have an intuitive sense of what formula would create a curve that slowly-ish approached 1 across a logarithmic scale.

square root of x divided by 50 plus the square root of x results in a curve which approaches 1 slowly and starts rising faster to reach .5 around 5000.
