Thanks! Really happy with how she came together. Not long now!

Heh thanks! Great video.

(I was involved in 2XKO then, too!)

An absolute honor-and-hoot to guest on one of my favoritest sources of game design wisdom there is

Yeah go for it!

Yeah I saw some strong players there!

Burned my brain out playing 2XKO today - a special kind of melt I've only really had from long sets of tag fighters. Oh shit it works. 🙏

If you're in Alpha Lab 2, we're trying to cram a bunch of folks into Ranked Lobbies right about for now testing. Come play!

Aww thanks Joi!

Okay I want to but today would be a very busy day 😅

Man, games hit different when you get to play them with people who aren't making them. I had SO much fun playing ranked duos in 2XKO today. Can't wait til we get the rest of the world in there.

Only Five People Have Seen This New Impossible Color Researchers discover a new color outside the range of human color vision, but you have to laser your retinas to see it

Five people—three researchers and two test subjects—have just seen a color no human has ever seen before.

My game design aesthetic is "Surprisingly Discrete"

Whoa. Hi Alpha Lab.

Use the magnifying glass to learn which kind of five separate things, I suppose

When I joined Spry Fox 12 years ago, I worked on Road Not Taken, a roguelike narrative puzzle adventure, a game I loved. Blue Prince is also a roguelike narrative puzzle adventure, somehow managing to have absolutely nothing in common with Road Not Taken. 👏

Blue Prince is the intersection of like five separate that I've wanted to make, god I love it

You're welcome

😢

Okay is it about pointing at stuff

Okay okay - is this in some way about reduction of abstraction

Nom nom Mardu

She's incredibly deep, but we absolutely built her for a low skill-floor as well. There's plenty of easy stuff to get in and have fun with before even hitting the lab. The people love Jinx - let 'em play!

Did you learn it from a scroll

So sad that I'll be missing the Systems Design Meetup (and GDC altogether) today. I'm sick and I'm staying home! Thanks so much @lizardengland.bsky.social for sailing the ship. Miss everyone!!

You could show me any ten seconds of Severance at any time of my life in any fictional universe where I've never heard of Severance and I'd instantly know it's my favorite show in every universe

Hellloooooo if you are going to GDC and are a systems designer (or aspiring to be one), I'd like to recommend registering for this. Free, only about a block from the Moscone, and usually a really good mix of people (if I don't say so myself).

GDC Systems Design Meetup 2025 · Luma Ten years in, the GDC systems design meetup remains a rarity, and I'm so glad we get to keep doing it. A place to immerse yourself in wonderful designers with…

Do you design game systems, even a little as a treat? Will you also be at GDC this year? Gosh do I have the event for you. Our tenth annual GDC Systems Design meetup. Wednesday, March 19th at noon. Register, chat, enjoy! lu.ma/ileesdw6

P.S. shout out to all the long-developed games out there; an angel has gotten its wings today.

Just WILD. 17 congratulations to @unormal.bsky.social, @jfg.land, the whole @cavesofqud.com team, @kitfoxgames.com, and the human race (distributed evenly).

I've been holding out on diving in for many years of friendship with these folks. I'm so excited that my time has come.

Mash that buy button

Behind the times, but one of the greats of is BACK. 868-HACK is easily one of my favorite Roguelites, _certainly_ my favorite Broughlike. What a purified essence of game
