Everything about making video games is harder than you think.

Im envious of people who are good at posting. I don't even have the initial impulse of wanting to post on social media. I do it because i feel like i have to. It's part of the "job" or whatever. But even then coming up with anything to post is like trying to get blood from a stone for me.

Return of the Obra Dinn - Narrated Modeling Mega Timelapse
YouTube video by Lucas Pope Return of the Obra Dinn - Narrated Modeling Mega Timelapse

"Return of the Obra Dinn" is seven years old this week.

For this not-particularly-special anniversary, here's a re-cammed and narrated timelapse of (nearly) all character creation, object modeling, scene posing, and general 3D work for Obra Dinn from 2015 to 2018:

It's time for my first ever Next Fest and I've released a brand new DEMO on steam!

The new demo has more content and includes more features of the main game. Demo can take up to 2-3 hours to 100%.

It's perfect for 15/20 minute playsessions!

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

SUPER SHAPESHOOTER has a public steam demo now. Give it a go if you're bored and give me a wishlist if you like it.

WaniKani, a kanji learning application by Tofugu Learn Japanese kanji the effective way!

I'm a big fan of wanikani.com for kanji learning. Once a year they sell a lifetime subscription option if that's your thing. I've bought it and have no regrets.

I like silksong a lot more than I liked hollow knight but it is one of the most giddily cruel games I have ever played in my life.

Getting caught out by one of those epic troll cruel moments at the wrong time can be such a sour experience.

Giant Squid doing layoffs after SoTS released to glowing reviews is a prime example of how the industry is currently broken.

I've been putting off making a game for the playdate for like 3 years now. Might spin one up as a side project.

It's an old skateboarding thing. When skating you go through a lot of shoes (and shoelaces) and you just end up with a lot of spares. Skaters started wearing them as belts and eventually some skate brands started including a shoelace with their trousers which probably made it more mainstream.

Sup Holmes was so good! I still go back to some episodes all the time when I'm in need of some inspiration. I must've listened to the Jasper Byrne episodes 10+ times.

no idea how i missed this but apparently the UK is now heavily locking down the internet? is this why people are reporting nsfw games missing on itch.io?

It's a good game worth playing though. Great aesthetic, satisfying gameplay and a really fun set of levels to explore and learn in an imsim kind of way.
