YEAAAAAA

will we ever again get a game mechanic as good as cheating moth

DM’d you!

It's SUMMER IN NYC, and that means it’s time for the boshi’s place summer sneak peek!! For your pleasure and planning, take a look at some of what we’ve got coming up in the next few months.

See you soon, boshi sunnies on 😎

Announcing a new show at boshis, Modern Trans Narratives in Games!

opening June 27, with gallery hours on the 28th and 29th

this pride month, join us in celebrating some stellar narrative games about trans stories told across a range of genres and formats

“Industry” is the key word here. The *technology* does not need to steal artists’ work to be developed and refined. AI can exist without theft, but these business models cannot. As with airbnb and rideshare apps, these are hucksters trying to outpace regulation, not build anything lasting.

@jasonnomore.bsky.social food/ games metaphor mentioned

been watching more sports and coming to appreciate getting mad at ump calls and ref decisions

something that stops the action of the game for being seen as rude / unlawful/ unfair, maybe with a penalty on the offender

are there any e-sports where you can foul someone? (in-game character on in-game character, not gamer on gamer)

(watched my second nba game ever this week)

sure thing!

i'm not saying an awesome showcase by @sixoneindie.com is going to be exhibiting some INCREDIBLE games tomorrow at 11:50 AM est...

in pondlife: discone (a videogame), you can jump & surf on anything. there's no hard distinction between wall or ground. there's also no combo meter or trick button, you move your character (her name is icecream) and make it all up.

wow went to the library and they had my favorite book, mom's journal from everyone's favorite unreleased indie game, the wide open sky is running out of catfish #indiegame #catfishgame #gamedev

foliage test 🌱 (everyone passed)

This Boer/Grok fiasco is funny, but it previews how AI chatbots will be used more subtly to manipulate public opinion.

They present decontextualized authority: unsourced, unauthored, always confident.
And we are being trained to trust them as objective or as the Wisdom of Crowds.

Rather abstract photo collage with a drawn face, old photo, bird's wing, photo of a hand, pieces of tangerin cover and the title saying "tropic of dinosaur"

My game Tropic of dinosaur is on #AMaze2025 among other beautiful games made for AMaze gamejam
Check them out, if you're there, i'll be happy to hear your feedback
And good AMaze to everybody!
I'll release Tropic of dinosaur on itch soon too

thinking about grim fandango again, what a banger

I cannot express to you how much teaching this past semester broke me. What was a trickle is now overwhelming

⚽ despelote is OUT NOW on Steam, PlayStation 4 & 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Coming soon to Switch.

A bittersweet and sometimes dreamy semi-autobiographical tale of youth taking place in 2001 Quito, Ecuador.

Hecho con pasión.

It is imperative that the Internet Archive survives.

We've implemented music and it feels like a whole new game. Check it out for yourself! store.steampowered.com/app/3172760/... #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #catfishgame #wideopensky
