Now that ANTONBLAST has fully wrapped, weโ€™ve decided to release a VM branch of the game. What this means is: YES, you can mod the game! (at the code level!)

All you need to do is install the vm_public branch on Steam.

Indie teams still have management positions... Wildlight was over 100 employees and had multiple offices.

I feel so bad for the devs, both for getting fired so quickly and for what I can only imagine are the psychological ramifications of spending years working on a game in such a fickle genre with so many high profile failures to the point where I have to imagine this outcome must have felt inevitable

remember that you can search "hyper realistic portrait of <fictional character>" and trick age verification that way. Nathan Drake has been very kind and helpful to me.

Nobody in the universe has ever been able to successfully play the flute solo in Crash Nitro Kart's Tiny Temple theme. It's not possible...

This 'problem' is entirely contained within Undertale/Deltarune. Many indies partner with them because they are good to work with and in fact work very well. If it weren't for them, those indies wouldn't be able to make much (if any) money from their musical work at all.

Nobody has ever been or ever will be struck down for using Pizza Tower or Antonblast music.

The wait is over, Punks: THE END is now live on Steam.

And so marks THE END of our major updates for ANTONBLAST.

I'm gonna shout it from the rooftops: FUCK GenAI. Creativity is human.

I am so incredibly tired of this bullshit idea that the hallucinating plagiarism machine does anything other than harm people and generate completely useless garbage. Why should anyone be proud of this?

One of my fav game dev stories ever: For the 10 MINUTE Qwark Opera level in Secret Agent Clank, the devs had forgotten to ask Jim Ward to prep for singing.

When he found out, he said "huh, hold on" & sang the entire thing in nearly A SINGLE TAKE.

They actually had already programmed an enemy they called "skunk" with the same(ish) model and slightly different functionally, which they ended up cutting from the game later in service of these guys.

I still don't know why the name "pill" shows up internally for these guys (as well as the rats). Is it short for something? Is it referring to their pill-like body shape? Will we ever know...?

It is now clear: The "independent" label must be abolished, and we're here to do it.

i have about 146 hours of playtime recorded for antonblast and somehow i've NEVER seen this little detail in the Jewel Ghoul boss fight. if you stay idle next to a Cartoons, Anton will just stare at them angrily while Annie acts all like "get a load of THIS guy".

i love this game so much.
