I'm not 100 percent sure if I will do this, but it does make me think a lot about how a shared meditative interactive experience would look like. How to design something meant to bring both players into a fused consciousness and metaphysical state.

Also Unity 6 now makes separate post processing on different cameras much easier. Wish this feature was in older versions.

I'm experimenting with the idea of adding the option to make this a shared experience.

I've always wanted to learn Blender so this is a good motivation. Thanks everyone for the continued support. You can wishlist the game here store.steampowered.com/app/3215280/...

Project TORI will be delayed significantly while I learn Blender extensively so I can create original assets. Would love to hire a 3D artists, but there's just not much funding in games to make that happen. Grateful for what I have been given to make a prototype. Next step is learning a new skill.

Soft announcement. My next ::ephemera game will be highway::ephemera where you will traverse a vast network of roads. Will feature original atmospheric soundscape by Greg Nunn (Glacial Anatomy) who provided music for ocean::ephemera

This is one of my favorite shots from my game The Light Of Our Yearning. I delayed it 1 month to make this happen. Basically, after you complete the game, time still continues. Bones start to decay. Nature reclaims the land. There is no end. If you completed it a while ago, try opening it again...

A lot of great suggestions. I have a list of about 100 virtual museum type games if you are looking for more

📢PUBLICATION DAY📙
"Everything To Play For: How Videogames Are Changing The World" out now w/ @versobooks.bsky.social.🌏
www.versobooks.com/products/308...

The 📕 blends cultural theory & materialist critiques with accessible language and personal stories engaging both novices & seasoned connoisseurs.

The main focus is building out a budget for writing about the games and contributors in the zine.

Other people (pizzapranks.com/10-indiepoca...) and I (pizzapranks.com/features/) have done this in the past, but cons have taken the I would use for this and would like it to be a consistent thing.

I'll be at TGS today helping out with Off-Score: A game of songs. It's a surreal music game with carefully crafted interactive music set in magical worlds. The music is soo good.

I'm a bit emotionally invested in it as I've helped him playtest a lot. Big challenge making an intentional near visually incomprehensible eyeburner hyperspeed [STATIC NOISES] shooty game.

Picture of game with the quote "It makes me nauseous, please turn off the motion blur"

My friend gave a presentation at Tokyo Indies about his game Doom Spiral which is inspired by gnarly skeleton memes. I met him at Tokyo Indies over a year ago and we've been good friends since. He'll be at @gaemz.bsky.social meetup Tokyo on the 29th to talk about his magical shader skills.

his films were my first introduction to shoegaze

I'll be at Tokyo Game Show and hosting Tokyo GÆMZ Show on the 29th. Still looking for 3 speakers. So far there will be a talk about cool shaders from the in development game Doom Spiral, and a talk about the creation and development of plunderludics / unityhawk

Found a nice placeholder crown model on sketchfab. Eventually will be replaced with an original 3D model based on a moodboard I'm building

I originally planned on making large open areas, but frustrations with the Unity terrain system made me down scope it for what I think is the better. I now prefer horse sequences to be short linear vignettes, similar to the game Promesa which I found inspiring.

Agree. All my games have almost zero mechanics other than walking and looking around, but the responses have been positive. Feels before fun for me. An evocative world can pull a lot of weight.

YouTube video by Insider Gaming Trailers A Heavy Morning | Trailer Game Devs of Color Expo 2025

Woah, saw this beautifully animated game during the @gdocexpo.com direct called A Heavy Morning. Something I've been thinking about a lot lately is how I start my mornings. What will the tone of the day feel like? That first action you take can ruin or energize a whole day.

Read a good article about this. It really is the aesthetic of facism

Discovered a few more games here which I will add soon. In the future I'll also be making game curations focused on different Indigenous regions around the world (check out the Native Land link in the Dig Deeper websites section for a cool map)

Never Alone and Where the Water Tastes like Wine are two big budget indies that were made with heavy consultation and cultural experts. Assassins Creed is the only AAA example that I found that also fit. Would love to know more (Turok does not count)
