Update with several other layered effects, so we've now got jogging, aiming, dashing, freefall, arms, headlook, dynamics, etc.

It's not "one big idea" but several details, so I'll try and break them down in a thread piece-by-piece.

According to Wikipedia, today is the 20th anniversary of The 1UP Show. I choose to believe this is true.

I miss this work. More, I miss my old coworkers. Still the best and most fun job I ever had.

I’ll let Jane and Eric’s killer tune race through my mind today.

Starfriends: The 5-Star Game About What Everyone Else Thinks A party game where you get into your friends' heads. Kinda like a blend of Wavelength and Letterboxd that fits into a deck of cards.

Looking for a party game that combines social deduction with the pleasant absurdity of rating animals, films, and the weather on a scale of β˜… to β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…? And it's just a simple deck of cards? AND it's live on Kickstarter now?!?! Guess what, STARFRIENDS has launched! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bra...

testing better games for better people

Friends, I find myself with EIGHT game versions that needs an update. I would be very thankful if you can give these a quick whirl and let me know if anything seems out of place.

Both Android and iOS.

Same character trope! I also just watched way of the water and there are only three kind of women in it:
+ sad
+ angry
+ magic

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

Is there a Term for that thing in AAA games where you squeeze through a tiny crack to mask a loading screen?

In LA, community organizing has played a major role in slowing ICE down. Here are the strategies I saw while I was there.

Note: This is a shorter cut of a longer video that’s available on my other socials. All of which can be found here: linktr.ee/kevinfoster

Baby Steps on Steam Play as Nate, an unemployed failson with nothing going for him, until one day he discovers a power he never knew he had… putting one foot in front of the other.

doubtless you have already heard, but Bennett Foddy, Gabe Cuzzillo, and Maxi Boch's new game is out today and it's really good. store.steampowered.com/app/1281040/...

Why does it... not fully abduct the sign? It just obliterates it and moves on.

But seriously, independent media not beholden to mega conglomerates is absolutely vital, so please do what you can to support it. If that means backing our book, then wonderful. If it means something else for you, that's awesome too.
