Please wishlist this wonderful game I helped make!

It's crazy to see all these fancasts for a Dungeon Crawler Carl TV show and no one is mentioning Dustin Milligan. Dude is jacked, good looking, and has incredible comedy chops.

Right? Can someone please just rip this adshovel off and sell it to me for $1.99

I really want to try playing Meowdoku, but I absolutely refuse to click any link or download any app based on those ads.

When will the market correct itself and cause all of the businesses selling poopy lettuce to go bankrupt or enforce stricter standards?? It feels like they are just able to ignore accountability... Can someone who is good at markets please explain this to me?

Personally, I celebrate my Irish ancestry every single day - by slathering on massive amounts of SPF 100 sunscreen just step outside for 5 minutes.

It's ok. In the War Between the Land and the Sea we get to see a man kiss a fish lady multiple times.

Pro tip: use your last month of vision coverage to get prescription sunglasses. That way no one can see you cry as you look for a new job.

The most important announcement at the game awards this year : Canonically, Geoff and Ms. Piggy have totally boned. Honestly - big respect. Great bit!

Huge shout out to @lmichet.bsky.social for being a phenomenal collaborator. I am remarkably proud of the story we told. Also, huge shout out to the rest of the team for their constant support and feedback. I hope we all get to do it again sometime.

An adorable Halloween themed train puzzle game??? Damn! This checks a lot of friggin' boxes for me haha. Go play it now!! Draknek games are the best!

Tyler J. Hutchison 🔜 GDC @awfultyler.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

Yes! But it's an adaptation. If memory serves, there are no characters or stories in the book because it is presented as a scientific textbook. It's just filled with facts about gnomes and beautiful cut away illustrations.

Oh, yeah. I hate grippers now. Grippers is so kloggo these days.

If we are all playing as Dr. Frankenstein maybe rather than looking at "trees" to define structure looking at the nervous system or circulatory system would be fun? Veins and capillaries? Maybe end caps? I don't know Regardless, I am looking forward to this and I am sure it will be a ton of fun.

Tyler J. Hutchison 🔜 GDC @awfultyler.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

It's not great for clarity or brevity but it could be fun to lean into the theming? Maybe like Butchered Bits, Hallowed Ends, Mortal Instruments? Vessels? Forms? Animations? Terminal Remain? Is there a grave robbing aspect to this game?

Tyler J. Hutchison 🔜 GDC @awfultyler.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

I'd probably go with: SOCKETS: the attachment point. JOINTS: the limb/elbow card. LIMB: the array of cards attached to a core socket. EXTREMITY: the terminal card of a limb. Another route: name them based on what they do in game. i.e. Combat Cards, Manipulators, Cash Grabbers

The demo is out now!! Go play the game I have been working on for the past few years!!

"Possessor(s) is also a Metroidvania, but it's also not a Metroidvania...it's a platform fighter, channeling Super Smash Bros. combat for a curious mix of juggling, bouncing, and physics interactions." So much love from @gamesradarplus.bsky.social about our SEARCH ACTION game!

"We're not just making Dark Souls over and over again. We have a variety of skill sets and ideas... Our reputation can only go so far if we don't keep maximizing what came before and translating it into something in the future." Thanks for the great preview piece @gamesradarplus.bsky.social !

Also, if things don't work out with your game "Balatro x Fortnite." Please let me know if you will be available to work on my next next project "Balatro's Gate 3" we could really use your help!!

Tyler J. Hutchison 🔜 GDC @awfultyler.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

No worries, every publisher who is serious about making money and making "The Next Balatro" has already booked several meals with me and sent care packages to my hotel. Best of luck with your passion project.

010

Tyler J. Hutchison 🔜 GDC @awfultyler.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

Same! I don't have a pass and will mostly be doing press stuff in hotels nearby. But I'll for sure hang out in the park and be attending social events.

000

Tyler J. Hutchison 🔜 GDC @awfultyler.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

A publisher would have to be extremely foolish to pass up the opportunity to publish both versions of "The Next Balatro."

010

Tyler J. Hutchison 🔜 GDC @awfultyler.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

Whoa whoa! Your game is also called "The Next Balatro?" Wtf?!? I have spent hours laboring/toiling on this brilliant title. How could someone else be making a game with the same name?!??!!

210

Tyler J. Hutchison 🔜 GDC @awfultyler.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

All I'm saying is if a publisher is really serious about making "The Next Balatro" they would make a reservation for our meeting at Benu. Then I would know they are the right publisher for "The Next Balatro."

070

Tyler J. Hutchison 🔜 GDC @awfultyler.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

Very acceptable. A brunch meeting at Mel's Diner would let me know that a publisher is SERIOUS about making "The Next Balatro"

110

Tyler J. Hutchison 🔜 GDC @awfultyler.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

Ok, fine... I am willing to take a meeting at a medium priced brunch location but you must let me order the second most expensive dish on the menu.(I'm not a monster)

Tyler J. Hutchison 🔜 GDC @awfultyler.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

Gonna be at GDC. Looking for publishers for my new game titled "The Next Balatro." Please let me know if you are interested in setting up a meeting at an expensive restaurant.

Uhhh... I'm going to be at GDC if anyone wants to hangout. I'm not actually going to be in the convention - but I will be in a nearby hotel doing press stuff. If you know me, let's hang out!

Yeahhh it was cool to see scrawny Venom be a DJ.

Tyler J. Hutchison 🔜 GDC @awfultyler.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

Yes, like I love to work to Danger. I saw him play in L.A. at some tiny bar/club in like 2014 after one of his EPs came out. It ruled haha. I'm trying to remember who he was playing with... I think it might have been The Toxic Avenger? I don't know, it's been a while.

Tyler J. Hutchison 🔜 GDC @awfultyler.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

Oooh what!! I love Danger! How have we never talked about this??

People who complain about increasing the minimum wage never complain about the unchecked increasing cost of housing/real estate. Seems like they don't actually care about creating a healthy/balanced economy at all.

Real heads know you can drop a couple of coffee flavored Werther's Originals into a gallon of milk and microwave it to make the perfect soup bowl 90's latte.

Does anyone else think it's kinda messed up that when contestants get a negative score before going into final Jeopardy they have to pay Ken Jennings directly? They always make them do it during the commercial break. I personally think they should just let the contestant leave without paying.
