In 2019 we built a joke game as part of a Rube Goldberg marketing campaign that would let indies turn the tables on key scammers. It got banned off Steam, exposed a $1.9M bug, confused the wrong scammers AND burned our marketing budget for zero gain.
This is the story of Drawkanoid: Review Breaker.

Black Ops 6: The Battle Pass Experience — Jack Does Everything I documented my experience with the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 battle pass and the effort it takes without paying for level skips.

I always enjoy reading Jack’s reports where he plays through the entirety of a battle pass, but this one for BLOPS6 is really something more than that: an index of our games culture at large. CW for sexual assault discussion. www.jackdoeseverything.com/blog/2025/1/...

Terry's Other Games on Steam Hi, I'm Terry Cavanagh! You might remember me from such videogames as Dicey Dungeons, Super Hexagon, and VVVVVV. Here are a few other things I've made over the years!

Hello! I have something new coming out soon. It's a big collection of some of my favourite little games from the past decade or so. Here's the steam page! store.steampowered.com/app/2824580/...

5 Ways Mini Motorways is Better than Mini Metro - The Gemsbok This comparative game review considers how Dinosaur Polo Club iterated on their pared-down strategy design between game releases.

NEW ARTICLE - Your Mid-week Mission

A quick, quaint article exploring some ways the tiny strategy game Mini Motorways represents a worthwhile iteration on Dinosaur Polo Club's earlier offering (Mini Metro):

#games #indiegames #blog #analysis #review

excerpt reads: "I hear stories about directors who scream at actors, or they trick them somehow to get a performance. And there are some people who try to run the whole business on fear. But I think this is such a joke -- it's pathetic and stupid at the same time. When people are in fear, they don't want to go to work. So many people today have that feeling. Then the fear starts turning into hate, and they begin to hate going to work. Then the hate can turn into anger and people can become angry at their boss and their work. If I ran my set with fear, I would get 1 percent, not 100 percent, of what I get. And there would be no fun in going down the road together. And it *should* be fun. In work and in life, we're all supposed to get along. We're supposed to have so much fun, like puppy dogs with our tails wagging. It's supposed to be great living; it's supposed to be fantastic."

once again thinking about this passage from David Lynch's book Catching the Big Fish

I haven't posted this here yet, but I also made a repack of the game Mortyr, a forgotten Polish FPS from 1999. It's working on modern systems with widescreen patches and CD music included. I just uploaded it on the Internet Archive:
