Going for a cursorx10 inspired looping game.
Recording system is functional!

Heyo! Anybody have some cool projects that need just a little bit of an extra guidance and financial bump to get it over the line, this year? 🏄

Started watching anime in German and Spanish.

Easier to understand while playing in the background and I'm picking up a thing or two.

It is decided.

I've rebooted an old mobile project that keeps resurfacing in convos. Haven't tried mobile in years, different market than PC but heck, why not give it a go.

The Balatro Timeline — LocalThunk It’s been approximately 3 years since I began work on Balatro - and in that time I have personally documented almost nothing about the journey. This is something that has bothered me since the game la...

I've had parts of this written down for a while - but I thought it was about time to document the detailed version of what happened during Balatro development

Forgot to share that we saw Wukong during Chinese New Year last weekend and he did a solid Pluck of Many.

Real pro performance.

Announcement trailer was spot on!

Immediately thought that of 'that solitaire guy' on my bluesky and lookie here, it's your game!

All at the same time?

I'm been holding off getting mine removed for the past decade. It it could be done in one sitting so I could recover over the weekend I might.

😯

The public demands more DevQuest!

Well same, but exercise just added new pains that needed pushing through.

That's what's I've been calling it.

Switch 2 doesn't have the same ring. Maybe go for 'the NS2'

The opportunity to close with my colleagues, see friends, business relations and review the impact of our work has been snatched before it started.

God I'm pissed... and all I can do is eat this outlandish expensive iceland burrito.

Lady got sick after boarding the flight on JFK which resulted in a 2h delay in iceland (wtf..)

So missed the layover to the Netherlands and with it the closing event of Dutch Game Garden as I've got to fly through Finland now.

I'm so pissed I'm going to miss this.

Heading to JFK airport for my layover to iceland before heading back to the Netherlands. As soon as I land, 20 hours from now, I'm heading to Dutch Game Garden' goodbye event.

I'll be le tired 😴

Iceland and NYC have been amazing tho. Looking forward to heading back already.

Just the one Anthony Hopkins Freud movie.

Besides that, Balaton until customs!

Purchased Balatro on Android for my NYC flight. Let's see what's so darn good about it!

I dont get people who are on social media during holidays.

The struggle is real.

Who decided on the name Secret Santa when Nondisclosure Claus was right there for the taking....

Ah dang, Lego Horizon is a dud.

Different than HP or Star Wars.

Anyone wanna trade?

We gamedevs all have dozens of game projects shelved.

But do you also have that fanboy nephew that keeps bringing up abandoned prototypes saying you HAVE to finish it?

That's hard to say no to.

"Sorry bud, the commercially viable market for a game like this is too small"

Playing Spiderman 2, i remembered I really really really resent sneak missions.

I'm curious who this caters to as I believe it disrupts the general immersion of pretty much any game (if it's not part of its original correct core like metal gear).

Fuck sake.

I updated MSI center after plugging in a new CPU.

Now I find out that it installed Norton because it got triggered by my very own resumé in PDF 🤷‍♂️

Lol, I'm an idiot.

Purchased Wulong instead of Wukong..

Alrighty, time to pick up the PS5 with Wukong and Spiderman 2.

Other recommendations?

My first Big Brotaru and it's a fun setup. Devs take the stage for 5 minutes to play and talk about their game. Not so much pitching, just sharing.

Vibe is very cozy. Some technical hiccups but nothing the crowd can't laugh about.

Dang
