Sometimes I have to gush about a game I'm helping with and this time it's Blackout Jack, a fusion of blackjack and Balatro where the objective is to kill the dealer before he kills you. Playtests are happening now! If you are a journalist or content creator, reach out to me; I have keys!
The amount of sadness I had when I saw this revealed. :(

Teach kids how to make Quake maps. Assign them the task to recreate their bedrooms, let them take photo ref and convert that ref to textures in the correct palette, etc. This isn't some weird vocational tech-STEM fantasy move; I just want kids to know that gamedev is tough even with mature tools.
I highly recommend taking big social media breaks. I'm talking for months on end.

Boothing tips for non-Japanese speaking #indiedevs exhibiting at Bitsummit this year 👈
Angus Coolan@angus.coolan.games · 4mo agoMy biggest tip if you're boothing is always invite people to sit down and play("dozo" and a hand wave at your game is good if they don't speak english), the bitsummit audience can be pretty hesitant to actively ask or try to sit down but they really do want to!

Putting Hades on my Stream Deck has been disastrous for my productivity.
21,000+ games were released on steam last year. that's just steam if you're a reporter, how many games are you pitched on any given day? im curious if this industry growth is reflected in your in-box or if a lot of devs dont market their games to press
The fact we're getting a new physical Metal Slug NeoGeo cart and maybe a new Metal Slug game just makes me so damn happy man.
