Goodbye, Video Sync! What an amazing time! Hypnogenesis was played almost 400 times over the course of the weekend and was beaten exactly once! We'll be showing it again at Glitch N Games in Chicago next week!

After you leave the playa it is so important to bring the burn home with you. That’s why for the past few weeks I’ve stopped screaming at pregnant women who don’t move into the subway fast enough. Keeping that sparkle of dust is so grounding in the default world.

I'll be in Minneapolis showing Hypnogenesis at Video Sync this weekend! I've never been to a video art event & I'm hype to see cool things and get asked questions about the video feedback in our game that I won't know the answer to because @allenriley.com isn't there! videosync.xyz/minneapolis2...

The most 38-year-old thing about me is how excited I got just now when my partner asked me "what makes something shoe gaze?" In my defense, the album art for Loveless really does do an amazing job of visually describing the genre.

Dog Walker Bungee Allergy is self-explanatory, but very tricky to play. Managing your own movement while swinging around your dog (without sending them out of bounds, or into yourself or others) isn't immediately intuitive. I didn't do any playtesting before releasing it. #pico8 #pico1k jam

Something nobody told me about my hernia surgery was that the mesh they put in me frequently sets off airport detectors, so about 50% of the time my crotch lights up bright red and they take me aside for a “sensitive area pat down” that requires a manager to be present.

Code poem called Objective Problem Solving. The source code is at the top and a generated output is below it. It looks like a series of pipes surrounding the words "FASCISM LOVES A DECISION MADE BY A MACHINE"

proud to include Dyebreaker in this bundle. seen so many talented peers lose their jobs and what strikes me is how often these people are the BEST at what they do, which draws them onto important new projects that need their skill, which are then vulnerable to cuts or cancellation. it's so backwards

Rocket Dog v0.06 Beta is available now on @itch.io! There's been so much cool stuff added to make the game look and sound like a real thing in the last few months, it was killing me that the beta didn't reflect all of it! A lot of new art and music. Full credits on the page! indomitablerocket.dog

It's a game over screen where the player got a B rank on the level.
