I don't think my Shockwave/Flash plugin is installed correctly, Mario...

I'm not going to give him the satisfaction.

you ever feel like Betelgeuse exists and is just waiting for you to say his name 3 times?

I would risk it with the spinning top

you can do it!! 🎉

after 90% of the work is done, it's time for the remaining 90%!

huh!? whose tread tracks are these?

handshakes when you meet someone during lunch

similarly to the game, we can only collect the yellow ones and all other types are intangible, which is why we rarely see them in stores.

don't even get me started on temporal anti-aliasing! leaves ghost trails behind everything every time. I always turn it off

I hated this design change when I was a kid lol. where my golf ball headed freaks at

this looks like Demon Turf. don't know if you've heard of it.

that transition is so smooth!

some scars never heal

nice to see patent engineers are also forced to draw hands sometimes like the rest of us

sounds like the game is too easy but has spikes of high difficulty that one player is having a harder time avoiding. what I would do is get rid of both playtesters, replace them with my own guy that always agrees with me.

yeah, once you've got a bunch of interlocking mechanics it gets a lot trickier. that's why I mostly make games about jumping and punching.

I'm a huge proponent of finding the fun of a game very early on, and keeping it at the center of the project always. losing sight of that can cause an identity crisis, which can lead to scope creep, etc. if your game was fun early on, you can always strip it back to that point, which is a lot safer!

I feel that. someone will tell me their game takes players through waves of self-discovery with novel mechanics based on some emotional experience they had abroad and I'll reply with "my game is about this fun jump"

ladders are cursed man

hot take

beebz can finally prove flat earth theory!! what a dream come true

if you made something you know is niche, the paradigm flips. thousands of people can say they hate it, but when one person tells me it scratched an itch for them I think to myself "see? huge success" and cry myself to sleep

menu flow is a nightmare. first place I worked at had a small room painted wall to wall with whiteboard paint and I filled the whole room with a menu flow diagram. after my presentation they wheeled me away in a straight jacket.
