Absolutely well deserved. It's truly an incredible game. It makes me feel like a genius and an idiot in the span of three minutes over and over again.

Not the Donkey Kong themed café I expected

- chances are most of them would never be into games in general. They happened to like ONE game
- some of them may explore more stuff growing up
- the industry's obsession for targeting kids is dated. Older demos are more reliable. But feel free to keep chasing "the next Roblox/Fortnite"

Rasmus Jarlov on Twitter writes: "There is nothing to celebrate. Moving from average tariffs of less than 2% on trade between the USA and Europe to 15% under today’s deal will inevitably lead to inflation. Almost everything will become more expensive in both Europe and the USA, and we will all be worse off. The economic illiteracy in the White House is doing serious damage to the West." Stylish Skunk replies: "I have a feeling you have 0 idea what you're talking about. In fact I know you do." Rasmus Jarlov responds: "Of course. I am former minister of trade in Denmark and you are an anonymous Twitter profile. You probably know a lot more than me. For sure."

lol

At some point while making this game we just had to admit Wile E. Coyote is one of our biggest sources of inspiration

I'd go for the colloquial spelling vaffan or vafan. Sounds more natural and has the extra advantage of sounding a bit like vaffanculo. Two birds, one stone.

Cars kill in always new and creative ways.

I suffered. But what a great match

As a Sicilian this kind of stuff is more uncomfortable than I thought. Playing a mafioso and extorting or beating people cause "the family must be paid" to me is as appealing as playing a Gestapo cop looking for socialists or something like that. I can play GTA but this feels a bit disgusting.

Or just freeze it to make it brittle and destroy it with a laser 🤷

Door too heavy? No prob: use glue to attach a rocket and it will open easy

I feel like there's a thing I call "the Balatro fallacy" in games. Marketing gurus would look at Balatro, before success, and say: "impossible to sell, in a dead genre, it doesn't look good in gifs, hard to describe, messy graphics". After success: "of course it got viral! The concept sells itself"

The reunion was chill. People who once tore one another's spines from their bodies just knocking back beers around a campfire. It felt like the time was right at last. "I have to say," Raiden remarked as the night bugs chattered and the embers popped. "That's not how you spell 'combat'"

In the game I am making you can use glue to attach any two objects. Which is great for all sorts of emergent weird solutions, but I am a simple person: I like watching floppy bridges flop.

Honestly one of the most satisfying interactions in my game

I wish my game was friendslop.

I should probably investigate how hard it is make a coop mode.

Not sure it'll be better. But it will be different and we're trying to make it as good as we can :)

I am totally fine defining TNU as the first Mosalike

Clone is a bit harsh :)
But yes, Mosa Lina is absolutely an inspiration. My thought when I played it was "this should be a new genre". And I think TNU is different enough to justify its own existence.

Just so my enemies understand

I've reverse engineered the plums that were in the icebox

I'm going to play nice for now, but they were delicious

The fact that people miss the collectathon ones instead of the good one annoys me to no end.

A "old vs new" comparison. Not bad, uh?

Forgot to say: made with #godot
The 2D lighting system is super nice to work with.

New trailer for the game I - and a small team of awesome people - have been working on. It's a roguelike puzzle game in which you can solve levels in any way you can think of, using random tools. It's a lot of fun.

We are sort of soft relaunching our game after a big visual and gameplay pass so prepare for a bit of spam in the next few days...

(I am so excited)

Everyone involved with this soundtrack is a genius. It's the Smash Bros of Nintendo music, a monumental achievement. Can't wait for it to be released on the music app

#319: Midnight caller Early thoughts on Switch 2 and a surprise start to not-E3.

Wrote a free one. On Switch 2 being weirdly un-Nintendo (but good!), State Of Play being a bit performative (but good!) and all the rest of the week’s big stuff. People seem to like it! You should read it! newsletter.hitpoints.co/319-midnight...

Hype!

there’s a funny paradox to me in creative work which i call “the horse shaped box.” basically: lead wants to give IC a space to work within, with constraints. but the constraints are extremely specific; “you can put anything you brainstorm into this box!” but the box is shaped exactly like a horse
