Thank you! Still remember playing it with you on a sidewalk in Capital Hill and worrying for the safety of my laptop.

Thank you and for writing a review too!

Dream goal complete.

A big thank you to @peachtoadstoolp.bsky.social for the fantastic soundtrack!

Got to learn a lot from everyone and their experience in 3d games. And had a reminder to always create a build of the game every day of the jam to avoid last minute problems. FMOD was new to us and wasn't a straightforward compile from Unreal.

Bite Your Tail by Napst-a, YerkDiff, Tom Arnold this cool cool 2D game has no surprises and is a simple arcade fun!

Created "Bite Your Tail" with Napsta, @yerkdiff.bsky.social, and McBungle for the GMTK Game Jam! Just a totally, regular game in Unreal although I recommend getting to the fourth level. napst-a.itch.io/bite-your-tail

Yup, between Asakusa and Sky Tree at Le Monde Komagata. (Thanks to a Tokyo Indies tip).

Yeah! Didn't expect that but it was pretty cool to see it repurposed. Four drivers to choose from too in the game itself.

...to the point where I managed to make it crash

Finally played the game that loosely inspired mine

Playdate crank rules!

It's absurd and dystopian that payment processors get to decide what we can and can't see on the internet.

That companies like Visa and Mastercard can use their enormous size to bully companies into taking stuff offline - based on the reactionary politics of a small group.

And they think THEY'RE the good universe?!

I'd be down if it was revisiting old areas with fresh takes. And if it ends up as a top down strategy game where you use psychic powers to control metroids against Sylux's army, I'll still play it.

Impressive too that they added constraints that made sense to avoid cheesing most puzzles. Really intuitive puzzle design early on that I wasn't stuck on for long.

YouTube video by Peach Toadstool "The Autoworks" ~Short Cut~ from Carpoon

Let's revisit The Autoworks from @tomfarnold.bsky.social's Carpoon soundTRACK as a musical Short Cut, now with new footage of the updated stage design!

It's a secret to everybody

I am still figuring out logistics (and Rami has kindly offered to help a lil!), but I’ve been putting together a means for game devs to present GDC-style ‘talks’ on @playwatchlisten.bsky.social. When it’s public, devs will be able to submit a topic for consideration, and will be paid for their time!

Wild to hear Panic had a connection with Keita Takahashi because they manufactured OFFICIAL t-shirts for Katamari Damacy. Fantastic episode.

Waves mode in the Autoworks is done, not much more to go now!
I always loved how the level changed over time in Bird & Bean, and doing my own take with with closed bridges at first helped make the beginning less difficult. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETI8...

YouTube video by Xbox Perfect Dark - Gameplay Reveal - Xbox Games Showcase 2024

This demo. It is actually in-engine. I was one of three level designers that worked on it. It worked best if you played it the way the person playing in the video plays it, but it still worked even if you didn't hit the marks perfectly.

I loved Rare games growing up but that time has passed. In the big picture, it's terrible news for many people losing their job today.
