It’s really weird to me how obsessively people are making and watching pirate software hate content. I don’t know much about him but surely it’s not healthy to watch hours and hours of hate videos about why he’s a fraud or w/e

This was my first thought as well, a classic duck game

I'm certainly not the only one making this argument, but I've been saying for a while that *distribution* is the core issue+challenge for videogame makers - aesthetically, conceptually, logistically, and more than ever, politically, in a very urgent and material way.

If you’ve never played it, it’s worth picking up.

Also if you never played it, don’t take any other advice besides what I said here. People will ruin your experience with it by insisting there is only one correct way to play it. Just dive in!

Puzzle platformers need to make a comeback, man. Indie devs just need to stop trying to give them stories or realistic physics or graphics that aren’t insanely cute. Just give me a list of levels and a charming protagonist and I’ll play

Randomly booted up Sutte Hakkun on switch virtual console and fell a bit in love. What a charming little puzzle platformer

Huge agree

I donno though, I definitely have complicated feelings about this myself. It’s tough to draw the line between “this game feels good to play!” And “this game is manipulating my brain in an unhealthy way.” I’ll look forward to your next blog post on the topic, I suppose :)

I mean things absolutely can be different, i think you might be looking too narrowly. For every Balatro inspired thing that comes out, there’s always gonna be something “not like that” as well, you just might have to look harder to find them.

I’m kind of with you, but if you were playing flash games in the late 2000s, you’d know that these kinds of games have always existed, they’ve just taken on a new form. Has anything really changed?

Happy 4th of Whatever

PC only for the time being

please change to anything but spotify. like there’s a bigger shift that it’d be nice if people did with actually owning music again but the lowest effort thing you can do today right now is just change to literally any other streaming service. playlist converters exist.

I still think this is a strong contender for the funniest video ever uploaded. Absolutely unbeatable comedic rhythm

Implementation isn’t perfect, but it should work!

Become the moon is out! It’s a deckbuilding autobattler and is very good. I can’t pitch it any better than that worry store.steampowered.com/app/2862890/...

I've shipped game updates to literally 100s of millions of players but I never actually shipped a "game" until today, at least not one that counts for mobygames credit. Funny to think about...

Become the Moon launches at 5pm UK time (in ~7 hours) store.steampowered.com/app/2862890/...

Are you aware of gmedit? It’s also lightweight and fast and was made for gamemaker coding. It’s really nice, I’ve been using it for 3 years now

Oh god, that sounds unpleasant. Is there a reason why you’re using that one? There are other external code editors which actually support gamemaker code!

What editor(s) are you using?

I want to post about weird video games and all this fucking fascism keeps happening

Become the Moon is in this with a newly updated demo! If you enjoy it, please leave a review and wishlist the game! store.steampowered.com/app/2871020/...

I don't mind roguelikes as a genre, but I don't think it's the absolute answer for games "needing" to be replayable.

People play Final Fantasy V every year for charity because of its replayability. Yet the game is a singular, carefully-crafted experience.

I don't think roguelikes are the only way.
