Has anyone considered an upright-bass-themed social deduction game?

You could call it A Mingus Among Us

It's like katamari damacy, but long and with people doing shots

Think about it.

I know I'm a day late but I finally had a few minutes actually get an enemy moving around in my horror game test project. Is this spooky?

Fun fact: World War 1 started when Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated. This is where the phrase “dropping a dookie” originates.

I was on a podcast! :O Was a lot of fun chatting with @nemo10.bsky.social about Silksong, League of Legends, and philosophical approaches to game design. Check it out! youtu.be/DtHTlp5Fvjs

I’m a Certified Yapping Enjoyer so if anybody reading has a podcast, I’d be happy to be on yours too!

New podcast episode! This week, I talk with @lowbo.io (Benjamin Lindsay), a former Riot game designer who worked on League of Legends and on Riot's illustrious and secretive R&D projects. We talked about Silksong, League of Legends, and what "good game design" even means! makegamesdrinkcoffee.com
