And that's a wrap on #GMTK2025! Another year, another #GMTKGameJam! #GMTK2026 For this year, we made an extraction roguelike game about picking up resources before something comes for you. You can give it a try on the browser here: tiny-capybara.itch.io/the-pickup-p...

Cada un año o dos me agarra el bobazo y termino escribiendo demasiado sobre un juego en particular. Esta vez le tocó a #ClairObscur #Expedition33, y con el agregado de que terminé escribiendo más que en mi propia tesina de grado. Lo pueden leer abajo:

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 – Originalnicodr

La crisis ontológica de la pintura, la metarreferencia propia como última frontera, y cómo el juego es elevado y limitado por su propio medio.

The third part of my 10 years of code smell series is out! On it, I discuss how you may need a thick skin to interact on some websites, how useful software might not be the best-written, and mention some software engineering books that helped me out. originalnicodr.github.io/blog/10-year...

10 years of code smell - Part III: The Missing Review – Originalnicodr

The ugly part of the internet, the impact of usefulness, and this part is left as an exercise for the reader.

The second part of my 10 years code smell series is up! In it, I take a deep dive into the project's code and try to explain why it sucks, how it could have gone better, and how the good way of doing things may seem obvious in retrospect. originalnicodr.github.io/blog/10-year...

10 years of code smell - Part II: Self archeology – Originalnicodr

The common sense of the good practices, and the horror of gazing into your old code so long that it gazes back.

originalnicodr.github.io

I found the source code of a project that I worked on in my last year of HS. I thought it could be fun to take a look at it after having gone through a whole master's degree and with some years of experience under my belt, so I wrote about it!

10 years of code smell - Part I: Falling for CS – Originalnicodr

The advantages (and disadvantages) of computer science education and work, the magic of creating something out of nothing, and how I learned to stop worrying and love the code.

I have had this idea in me for a couple of years now, so while I was waiting for feedback on other projects, I took it out of my system by implementing a dumb prototype. Was thinking of it as a speedrunning game. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #GodotEngine

Terminé #AKnightOfTheSevenKingdoms y como buen gordo #ASOIAF que soy escribí sobre esta. "La importancia de las canciones en ASOIAF, el leitmotiv del set design como poesía en pantalla, y un Laughing Storm con mucho laughing y poco storm." originalnicodr.github.io/el-corgi-pre...

I've released my Resident Evil Requiem camera tools! Camera control, hud toggle, pause/gamespeed, path tracing toggle, hotsampling, better AO, more! patreon.com/Otis_Inf

Today starts the latest Steam Next Fest! And we figured it was a good time to create a Discord server for my Cinematic Unity Explorer! To offer support and help you shoot the hottest demos of the event. See you there! discord.gg/FqTpKutNah

Termine #Hades2 y... no me encantó tanto como al resto. Y como siempre escribí una reseña hablando sobre los logros mecánicos del juego, donde creo que se tambalea, y como me perdió con su narrativa. originalnicodr.github.io/el-corgi-pre...

Hades 2 – Originalnicodr

Las cartas como diseño e inspiración, expansión mecánica horizontal pero no vertical, y el arte de aprender a soltar.

Nairdah's work on this has been awesome. If you have been overwhelmed in the past by my blog post on the topic because it requires some technical knowledge to edit code here and there, give his project a try!

Hey there, fellow virtual photographers! 👋 I just published a template that lets you create your own personal website and VP portfolio, and get it live on the web. 😎 If you're interested, give this blog post a read and, please, hit me up if you run into any issues tinyurl.com/vp-web 📸

Some days I hate modern software engineering Today is one of those days

Some shots that I took from the Tears of Metal demo back at the last Steam Next Fest. The cartoony art direction is fantastic, and makes for a great contrast when trying to depict the horrors of war. #VirtualPhotography #FramedSC

Habiendo terminado su última actualización, escribí mi review de #MHWilds "Los juegos como sistemas de incentivos, la falta de humanidad en los sistemas sin fricción, y la (histórica) rebeldía antisistémica de los juegos difíciles."

Your power bill has tripled and you can't afford new PC parts just to create this.

Speaking of The Knightling... We couldn't afford to spend our entire dev budget on a trailer at THAT award show, but you can see it on Steam! And I'm so chuffed that even though this game is CRIMINALLY overlooked, 100% of our recent reviews were positive! 🛡️ store.steampowered.com/app/1471650/...

Cinematic Unity Explorer 1.4.0 is out! It comes with controller support, improved input blocking, a target camera drop-down, a custom component disabling system, and a plethora of QoL upgrades and fixes. Give it a try! github.com/originalnico... #Modding #Unity

For the Shadow of the Colossus story, we interviewed 14 people including project leads Fumito Ueda and Kenji Kaido, hired Gravity Rush concept artist Takeshi Oga to illustrate the cover, and put together a 10,000-word story with help from @milkman.bsky.social @shmuplations.bsky.social and others.

Last night we got together with some friends and had a Mario Party night. And I used the opportunity to try out this modded ROM that includes the minigames from the second game (and the first one, if you want to) inside the third one. Had a great time! github.com/Rainchus/Mp3... #mod #modding

I should start sharing more cool projects/mods/stuff I come across online. Today, I found this team of Brazilian developers working not only on a Shadow of the Colossus PC port with updated HD textures, but also restoring cut content from the very ground up. Amazing stuff!
