I somehow did not make this 2,000 words on how bullshit it is that Super Mario Bros. 40 doesn't exist

I can confirm that starting a sale on the sale day as Next Fest was a bad idea.

Anyway, our games are on sale including this fab bundle:

Almost done updating my Graveyard Kit, I've remade every single 3D model in this #gameassets pack. It'll release (probably!) near the end of the week, free for everyone and can be used for any purpose.

Thank you for all your support all these years! ✨

I love love LOVE this game! Please do me a favour and support this dev. This is the ultimate puzzle game that even allows you to upload your own puzzles ( once a dlc pack has been bought.)
Incredible controls, fun customisations, there are plenty of fun puzzles to try before you upload your own.

Yea I feel like overwhelmingly positive is near impossible with a free game. We will get like 20+ positive reviews in a row and then a random troll joke negative one and it ruins all our progress.

I've always felt the way we display percent should be with larger numbers. You always have to use numbers like 99.99999% to show actual rare things.

It's hard to explain if a disease kills "only" 2% of people then every plane ride a few of the passengers would be dead from it which is a lot.

A longshot because we would need a LOT of subscribers to pay for her care but it can't hurt to ask.

(plus we'd make an awesome game for all)

I can't be the only one that spends every waking moment worried about when the big beautiful bill cuts medicare/medicaid.

When this happens my mom is going to die.

We have no way to pay for her medicine and doctor visits. She is just going to die and there is nothing we can do.

If an AI was only trained on art you are familiar with you would instantly recognize what it took for where.

This is the trick it pulls, like expecting you to have memorized every image from an image search...if you haven't seen it before it must be "new".

The question should never be "Can AI replace artists?"

It should always be "Can stealing art from artists replace paying artists?"

AI does NOT "generate" art. AI steals art and displays the stolen work. It fools you because the database is so large you don't always recognize the stolen art.

Man, BiSH is one of my best music finds in awhile. Their album CARROTS and STiCKS is great!

Love how purposefully they record the quick deep breaths before a chorus.

If you like this, I recommend checking out the full album (and their other stuff)

Here comes an upcoming behind-the-scenes book: Battlestar Galactica: The Untold Story of the Revolutionary Drama

The plan is for this book to come out in 2028, the 50th anniversary of OG BSG and the 25th anniversary of the reboot.

Day one for me. πŸ––

Coming up with a name for a new game has got to be one of the most frustrating parts of game design.
I can come up with plenty of names, but all the good ones are already trademarked.

Yes. The annoying part for me is having to come up with a name before we have most of our game. We need to get exposure right away but a better name will probably come to us late in development.

Wait, my brother and I JUST got done watching this. Then this was the first thing on my feed. WTF!

Love the part at the end where the bad guy is like "Oh no not going to get me" and then shoots himself.

Also the Dead Heat song they found for the end credits.

DEAD HEAT!

It's like a movie people would make up to mock 80s movies. Is it any good? No. Is it entertaining? Treat Williams plays a cop called Roger Mortis who whilst investigating a series of crimes by seemingly unkillable crooks, gets zombified himself, and this happens...
