Do you prefer games that reward exploration with new abilities like Animal Well...or with new understanding? 👀 Here's why Ballgame chose the latter.

New trailer + demo dropped. The response so far has been incredible. Big favor: play the demo, hit wishlist, leave a review. That's what gets a small studio noticed. Dropping some bonus concept art too.

We announced our debut game: BALLGAME. I'm feeling all sorts of things. I've been wanting to make video games since I was 7 years old so this is a dream come true no matter how it goes. We're going to be at Day of the Devs. Come and play demo and meet the team. youtu.be/l_7zwKg_WhE

Every time a new AI tool drops, someone says something like “musicians are in trouble.” We keep acting like the only thing between us and a masterpiece is access to better tools. It isn’t. Anyone can write but not everyone can write a poem worth reading. So let’s calm the fuck down.

I was 13 when Shadow of the Beast came out. It’s hard to articulate how revolutionary this looked and sounded at the time. I knew I wanted to work in graphics the second I saw it and I think about it to this day. youtu.be/ovwFjgAFhOs?...

The Blank Check podcast just did an excellent series on David Lynch’s work, including two and a half hours just about this episode of Twin Peaks: The Return.

Pro tip: just make a rule that moves any email with the word “unsubscribe” into a folder. If you use your email to read newsletters. Just don’t.

People claiming the future is all about generated media are missing the obvious: people spend hours daily watching other real people dance in front of their phones. We crave human connection, not perfect content.

Played through Neva and it could be my game of the year. As beautiful as it is satisfying. The way they nail color and contrast is inspiring. The trailer doesn’t do the game justice.

Rewatched Death Becomes Her which still looks really good for a movie that’s 32 years old. Zemeckis got to make weird body horror comedy with A-list actors. Wild.
