There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.
Being a parent is pretty tough, but it's all worth it for that moment, every once in a while, when you get to take your kid to the city to see a marching band and say, "Will you defeat them? Your demons and all the non-believers, the plans that they have made?"

Comet has some new key art, and I LOVE IT! It was a lot of fun to work with @mekadow.bsky.social to explore Stella's design again and make some new art that represents her and the mood of the game a little more closely. This was spurred on by a push from @spaceindie.bsky.social...
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's excess is as unmistakable as it is endearing. A moving, messy journey that accumulates feeling through its best and, more importantly, its most tedious episodes. I love this game, and I'd love it if you checked this out! medium.com/@abrambuehne...

I was told you couldn't do 3D on the Playdate, so I did it. Then I was told there was no way I could create exterior levels like those in Mirror's Edge, so I proved them wrong again.
This game really is that good no joke. I haven't gone back to 100% the stars but its consistently an awe inspiring game to navigate and solce.
Sahoni, Official Re(a)d Wolf@sahoni.bsky.social · 2w agoI need more game designers I know to play Isles of Sea & Sky so I can nerd out about the mount of fascinating game design it manages to find in a micro and macro level out of something as simple as push block puzzles. store.steampowered.com/app/1233070/...

I’m so in awe of the team’s dedication to this beautiful game. Can’t wait to play it, whenever that will be!

DTF St Louis is sublime? Why didn’t it break through more? It’s NOT what I thought it was. Beautifully crafted. Much artier and weirder than I thought it would be. Highly recommend. Need to know about why the police station is unnecessarily wonderful - like a theatre set for a Kafka adaptation. Love
I have very distinct memories of having to demo Halo 4 for Don Mattrick and realizing that these people just live on different planes of reality I was showing off my mission and when the Mantis showed up with its new cool intro vignette he raised his hand and said to the group -
And here's some cool layering for the 'ball in hand' placement after a scratch.
It has multiple camera modes, look at those crisp ball rotations!
Bill Illiard's Pool 3000! Since Diora's release, I started on this new Billiards game. This game uses a similar 3D engine to Diora, with amazing 3D ball rotation and pool table graphics! #playdate
this was super fun for us to do. also, we also made 50 custom covers for everybody else! thanks for setting the tone of this great positive thing.
I didn't have very much to do with the Playdate Community Awards, that was lead by @paul.straw.social.ap.brid.gy, @bechamel-test.bsky.social & @danielwsimon.com. But it fulls me with joy to see @panic.com make a custom @play.date for @lukesanderson.bsky.social, the GOTY winner for last year.
Luke S@lukesanderson.bsky.social · last mo.Check out this custom Playdate!! Last year, I released Tiny Turnip - it won Game Of The Year and Best Adventure Game in the Community Awards, and the swag's just come in the post. @play.date even bundled a new Playdate with a custom decal! #gamdev #indiedev
