Check out this amazing remastered (at 4k!) version of "The Making of Myst" mini-doc! Originally included on the Myst CD-ROM in 1993, this version has been carefully recreated by Ted Sase using footage preserved by the VGHF!

2026 is around the corner and yep : Game industry economics are still bleak for western countries and junior staff.

But a few new actors are trying to shake things up on the financing & distribution side :🧡

This was so fun. Well done with the multiple pass recorder, it add so much. Love the thumb swipe gesture too (though one direction is hard to trigger but thank god I have two hands).

If you need you have 15 min and need a serotonin boost, wait no more!

Make sure to record multiple runs to end up with a pack of crazy winener dogs.

Oh nice! The level looks ace but never played it. We got both excited it with the kiddo so probably will go in the playlist, thx.
And about Nebuta matsuri, the museum is the next best thing. A massive space where you can take all the time you want to watch it up close and it was not too crowded πŸ‘Œ

easy to make and so yummy (if you like spicy) is gochujang butter cabbage.
- cut the cabbage into sixths
- cook then in a pan with a bit of water to soften the cabbage
- mix the butter and gochujang
- once the cabbage is softer, spread the past in all the sides
- add a bit of sesame and honey

ChatGPT chief Nick Turley doesn't want you too attached to AI

My blood froze when I heard about the Mattel / Open Ai partnership today (somehow missed the news). I never felt this uncomfortable about LLMs than after hearing that…
Also blown away that they just glossed over in the Verge interview, β€œnothing to see there move along”.

Random Gamescom very personal thoughts 🧡

1/ Industry still sluggish. Deals trickle in only for cheap & innovative indies. The β€œshorter/cheaper games” trend spreads fast, leaving AA productions stranded in a financing desert. The middle ground is collapsing.

Love those two too, they’re real beauties 😍
You should check the bestiaire from soda island vr shorts (of you have a headset). Similar vibes πŸ₯Ή
Generally Studio Syro stuffs are worth the detour.

Finally watched Mickey 17 this w-e and we’re living in times where sci-fi colonial satire feels like too close to home 😬

The cure for the gloom and doom was Herdling. What a treat! Thank you @okomotive.ch peeps for that little πŸ’Ž
We need more short games like that. Highly recommended

Day 7 of #COVID gave me an even more suitable voice for a sad tired raccoon who’s just barely holding it together.

Here's "Home Is Where The Trash Is", the VR hand-puppet game I made for the Sizzling Shrimp VR Summer Jam 2025:

Working hard on Wild Cosmos, and getting closer to the end.

I want this small world to feel alive and vibrant.

I'm a single person behind this project and if that's the kind of games you like, sharing it and wishlisting helps me greatly.
