Killing mechanics bleeds agency.
Killing objectives bleeds authoritarianism.
Killing interaction bleeds stimuli.

Yessssss!!

The End of Gameplay on Steam droqen's desperate attempt to explain, or explore, or understand the true meaning of "kill gameplay."

Alright, here it is! An announcem,ent! My new video game, "The End of Gameplay", is coming out on the next full moon (not Pink, Flower).

I really like this one. I think it's got something special going on. Anyway, wishlist it! Thanks!

love, droqen

Choices…. So Many Choices….

the code editor is painful :) I loved Prince of Prussia. The controls feel great!

Hey Adam! Do you use any external tools (editor, image editing, etc.) or just the pico8 tools?

Because of this I have countless handwritten journals. The act of putting things that matter to paper (an the pleasure of a nice pen and good quality paper) helps fixating it, even if I don’t ever read it again. Doesn’t happen with digital.

More #GDCfeet magic

👣👣👣Friendly reminder! 👣👣👣 #GDCfeet is happening tomorrow! 👣👣👣

👏👏👏

#GDCFeet is a radically inclusive experiment in game design and community started by @rich-lem.bsky.social All are welcome to join! ❤ No liability assumed or implied by Richard nor the current organizers.

#GDCFeet The walk is 6 miles, and it usually takes us about 5 hours to do it, so not strenuous! Be advised the paths are uneven and slippery, but not the worst part (Lands End Labyrinth) is optional.

#GDCFeet Along the way we'll stop off at the Cliff House, Sutro Baths, and we might also find out if the Lands End Labyrinth still exists.

#GDCFeet The plan is to walk from Ocean Beach to China Beach along the coastal trails.

#GDCFeet there are no shops along the way, so bring your own water, and light snacks, and get caffeinated beforehand if that's your thing.

#GDCFeet Other things to bring: granola bars or fruits, layered clothing, gloves, hats. Rain is not in the forecasts but it might get windy and cold by the sea.

#GDCFeet IMPORTANT Things to bring: good shoes, water bottle, sun block (you can burn even when it's overcast!), $6 for the train ride.

#GDCFeet Don't be late! We'll be off by 11:20AM, riding the N Muni out to Judah/La Playa/Ocean Beach Station, where u could also meet us at 11:50 AM.

If you, like myself, end GDC feeling somewhat wistful or melancholy, this is the event for you. Come walk, reflect, and reconnect with yourself!

The UGC content surfacing algorithm used by thatgamencompany's Sky is:
- liked X by friends -> surface to non friends
- reported N times by any -> dont surface to non friends
- Holdwick #gdc25

One of the examples mentioned is Soren Johnson’s Old Wold - Mol/Politopoulos #GDC25

avoiding the historical accuracy trap when making games (it will sell your game, feel right to players, not be controversial) is achieved by taking a knowledge driven approach where you examine the facts of the past, offer a proper insight and play with it Mol/Politopoulos #GDC25

This is #gdcrun!
