In response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...

We've been hard at work to create more gay fox girl gaming for you by developing You Have Died (And Been Reincarnated As A Fox Girl), a game about being isekaid into a dungeon town (as a fox girl) where everyone else is also a girl And yes, of course you can date some of the girls in town

So the choice to go full Muricaboo nonsense with her dialogue in an English translation just makes sense, really. Especially when we are talking about a highly comedic title, the translated script really needs to be funny in itself or it's not really faithful to the experience of the original script

Just a reminder that End Of Starchild is COMPLETELY FREE, on my GOTY shortlist, and the last thing I wrote for PC Gamer as a freelancer. Play it. But probably play Time Tripper (a Doom mod, not standalone) first. msx.horse/tt/ msx.horse/eos/

I've played countless Doom engine games, so believe me when I say this one that combines the FPS with JRPG combat might be the coolest one in 30 years

Free Doom total conversion End of Starchild is part bullet hell, part surprise RPG, all enigma.

PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.
