🧩🧩🧩 Happy #screenshotsaturday, less then one week until the big TRIFOIL DemoV2 launch for @thinkygames.com ThinkyDirect and @puzzleshowcase.bsky.social Cerebral Puzzle Showcase. The new VFX are described as hypnotic. So here's a 15s Hypnotoad. Enjoy! Wishlist links in reply 🧩🧩🧩 #puzzlegame
Today's dailyakari.com puzzle was created by... *checks notes*... meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. It's approachable and a good intro to this very satisfying site made by @singfisher.com & @juliahenderson.bsky.social .
I've had a BLAST playtesting the upcoming puzzle game "Would You Love Me If I Was a Snake?" by Andrea Boroni. Unique mechanics, inventive design throughout, with @grzegorz-bednorz.bsky.social (whose work I admire) on sound design. Recommend a wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/4284670/...
Would You Love Me If I Was a Snake? on Steam
A puzzle game where you play as a snake. Push objects, block lasers, teleport, and bite your tail off to escape dreamy puzzle rooms.

New cozy, relaxing puzzle game release day. V. excited to be streaming (8pm UK) The Artisan of Glimmith from Lunarch Studios, who made the much adored (by me) Islands of Insight, so I can't wait. twitch.tv/therealdyer #PuzzleGame #LogicPuzzle #IndieGame
My favourite daily puzzle game (by a fair margin) is dailyakari.com by @singfisher.com, which inspired me to make an approachable set of 5 puzzles on my website: therealdyer.github.io/puzzle/index... The final puzzle holds an 8bit secret... #gamedev #puzzlegame

I made a silly tool that helps remind you you're not as young as you think - What movie characters are you the same age as? therealdyer.itch.io/what-movie-c... #webdev #moviesky #filmsky #movies #indiedev #itchio
New tool just dropped - How old ARE you? (helpfully realised via the silver screen)
This has been sitting on my computer for ages. So I put together a shoddy UI and uploaded it here, to help you feel a little bit terrible every time you use this. Happy New Year...

Hey, I'd love to be commissioned to work as a video games composer :) If you have a sort-of-serious project going on and would like some tunes, contact me. Been working as a composer for the theatre and film for the past 15 years, also got the main Slovenian award for theatre music in 2021.
@elirainsberry.com I discovered A Monster's Expedition soundtrack in May and the rest of my year became gentler and calmer because of it.
