If you've got some money burning a hole in your PRISON WALLET I have GOOD NEWS.

Prison City's physical is going up for preorder on Feb 17th! (Also, buying Prison City is the BEST way to support TASQ's development)

(Also available digitally IF YOU PREFER!)

I just want to go on the record and say my primary goal as a game developer is to never make a highly popular game with a name that has the word eugenics in it

"No ID to use discord, just to access age-restricted servers." Like every server I'm in cause I'm a grown man that doesn't want to interface with children? If your policy was "show us an ID." when I installed 10 years ago I wouldn't have. It's too late. Next time make a pop up to scare kids away.

I would suggest everyone watch Meet Me In St. Louis at least once just so they can discover that little demon Tootie

I got a bunch of old classic films now that I've upgraded my hard drives and it's been nice to watch stuff that doesn't feel like a manic fit full of young adult super characters

try Warlords Battlecry 2 for a real weird experience

It will always feel weird to me that most game assets now are made by doing a sculpt and then retopologized. This is for generating normal maps and getting a better idea of how it's supposed to look in 3d but it just seems like a monumental waste of effort!

I'm going to take the wildly swinging between things are going good and things are going poorly to be normal, average them out and say things are things

Pros: I have the emulator working with modern DAWs, I have Dosbox outputting usable data to windows base midi.
Cons: How do I make it go do the thing I want instead using my virtual midi device?

The world may never know, but if it does it should tell me!

I have a mild interest in getting a sc-55 emulator going with dosbox-x via cakewalk 5.0 just so I can pretend to be a composer from 1992. But Not enough interest to wrestle with the internet to figure out how to fucking do this.

a humanoid with 4 arms, no eyes, and mandibles, made of a fleshy chiton. her lower half appears to be an array of folded up centipede legs. she has 4 thorn-tits on her chest. her head is like a skull embedded into a downward pointing crescent. her colors are dark grey, pale peach, and blood red.

What does that even mean? Also have you played my Quake map yet?

I used to coyly say that spite fuels me, but I don't really think that's the case anymore, I just feel something like instinct now. I think when I need to, but good things just flow out of me. Maybe this is what happens to everyone who spends enough time dedicating them to a skill?

Even if it's a flop and I don't make anything I know that every past thing I've put out has reviewed positively and people still sometimes donate to Eudora and Witchy Workshop and that was some of my earliest stuff.

What finally sent me over the edge was seeing how vigorously I've pursued a better understanding of music and game design, the large quantity of highly positive reviews for my recent project, and of course the instrument I want to play costs a lot of money I just can't realistically get fast.

Everyone I've talked to about this has been supportive of me... I've always been too scared but I know I'm finally ready to make a game that you have to pay for to play. Attaching monetary value to my work is a new concept.

Yeah I was a big fan of them and it certainly helped me figure out what the icons should look like in the RTS I made

Gneiss Name put out a video for Hytale so now I want to buy it and play blind. I bet it's not even that good.

I try to always be working on something, but I always feel like I'm spinning my wheels until the inspiration hits. It reminds me of trauma like you can't escape your obsession without therapy or closure, you just go on repeat without thinking.

Now imagine playing it on the original DOS Resolution and without a strategy guide. Red Alert was a little more tolerable at least.

I can’t think of a better feeling at the computer than when 3d stuff works properly

I wish I had something to talk about or show off... Mass got cancelled due to weather today and I really miss all the old people and weirdos and music and post-service-coffee+snacks. I practiced singing this week and never got to sing.

sounds like a job for rotation matrices with constant orthonormalization?

‘It’s the underground Met Gala of concrete murderzone design’: welcome to the Quake Brutalist Game Jam Quake Brutalist Jam began as a celebration of old-fashioned shooter level design, but its latest version is one step away from being a game in its own right

My first feature of the year explores the phenomenon of Quake Brutalist Jam for @theguardian.com, and how the FPS mapping community is keeping old-school level design alive. www.theguardian.com/games/2026/j...

I think I saw a meteor or something. Big bright orange ball in the sky went past a nearby hill, looked low.
