Facts👇 “Dosa Divas is a careful balancing act. (RPG) shrinks down an epic quest…raw & personal story that isn’t afraid to get silly or tackle larger themes. The most impressive part…it manages to be all of those things without feeling bloated or unwieldy. It takes just as much time as it needs to”

Roleplaying games are often defined by excess. Storylines that span dozens of hours, side quests so big they could be their own game, massive worlds that require complex maps to explore, and casts so ...

Here's a quick peek at the games released on itch.io this week. Only tagged games are counted, so actual numbers may be higher. #Godot games saw strong numbers, trailing Unity. Ren’Py, Construct, and GameMaker had steady releases. #gamedev #indiedev
Bar graph of weekly Itch.io game releases by engine. Unity leads, followed by Godot, Ren’Py, and others.

In gamedev, we joke about how we shouldn't care so much because "we ain't curing cancer" so chill, right? But you know what? These last few weeks reminded me that the Arts, esp accessible Art like videogames is incredibly important because games have a big place in sculpting cultural norms.

Came across this really cool website called Mushroom Color Atlas: A Guide to Dyes and Pigments Made from Fungi mushroomcoloratlas.com (via @boingboing.bsky.social ) #art #colors
Screenshot of the Mushroom Color Atlas webpage displaying a grid of 825 color swatches, ranging from dark purples, reds, and browns to lighter shades of pink, orange, and tan, with a navigation bar at the top showing various mushroom illustrations.

Dropped by the Frank and Son Collectible Show in the City of Industry. It had a similar vibe to DesignerCon but focused solely on collectible vendors. Here are some pics of things that caught my eye. #vinyltoys #convention
A large statue of a smiling cartoon character is displayed in front of a wall filled with various Funko Pop figures. The character has orange hair, a green crown, a blue Hawaiian shirt with white flowers, white shorts, and brown sandals. The character is also wearing a purple and yellow lei around its neck and holding a coconut drink with an umbrella. The statue is roped off with purple velvet ropes.A display case featuring Superplastic designer toys is shown. One figure, labeled "KRANKY," resembles a paint can with a splash of colorful paint on its body and base. Next to it is a syringe-like paint marker with "HYPE COLOR" branding and colorful paint splashes. The packaging in the background is bright green and pink with graffiti-style artwork.A display shelf shows several collectible prototypes, including a white figure with a hat and headphones priced at $850. Other prototypes include a black batman  figurine on the left, a pink figure on the right, and additional figures in the background, each with handwritten price tags such as "Aang Prototype" for $1,800 and "Goku Prototype" for $1,700. Brightly colored notes with the names and prices of the figures are placed behind each one
