this week had some ups and downs, but I now have a 3d model of my dog, and I'm really proud of it this is for a tribute game for my childhood dog mia, who passed away earlier this year. i miss her a lot, but the game is coming along well and it's helping me process the grief <3

so I entered my game "an unplayable game?!" into the serious play awards this year (unfortunately didn't win anything, I'm still an award-losing game developer) and they sent me feedback from the judges! shoutout to this person who very clearly did not figure out how to beat the game #gamedev
Judge's Comments: well, the intend of the game does make it very challenging. you quickly learn what it is like to play an inaccessible game. hard to make progress. but that is the point. what would make this better is some sort of help after several attempts explaining the problem, offering a solution, and allowing for progress. while intended to show frustrations of inaccessible games, there should be away to move forward more easily after the point is made.

this week, i spent nearly 30 HOURS building the playable area for my next game (a tribute game for my childhood dog, who passed away earlier this year) and that feels like a HUGE amount of time, but i'm okay with that, bc i really wanted to get it right. and i havent even added props yet! #gamedev

a thumbs up steam review for space warlord baby trading simulator, posted on March 30 at 9:15pm

review text:
yeah it's awesome and well designed and super fun despite (or maybe because of???) all the randomness, and the scenarios are great and make you play in different and interesting ways

but this is also SUCH an incredible game to play on the couch with all your friends, passing the controller around and cheering each other on!! great concept great execution and I love how the menus and transitions kind of feel like a DS game :)

STEAM CLOWN AWARD BAITING IS DEAD
A screenshot of a steam news post from discord, detailing a new set of steam awards and changes to the existing awards system.

 **New: Awards no longer transfer points**When we originally created Steam Community Awards, the idea was for them to not only look cool but to also grant a small number of Steam Points to the recipient, meaning they could be used as a tip of sorts for people who create and share amazing content with the Steam Community. However, we found that this encouraged and rewarded a narrow set of attention-grabbing content and didn't allow the focus to be as much on a broader pool of thoughtful, well-considered creative content. 
Because of this, we're refocusing the system: The Second Edition of Steam Community Awards won't transfer points. Instead, the goals of the system will be solely about conveying the appreciation of the viewer to the content creator, and as a signal to others that someone appreciated the piece of content.

they don't tell you this but this old stranger things Lego set is ACTUALLY a low key build-together set there's a separate instruction book for the normal AND the upside down house so you can build them with a special friend simultaneously it's also just a banger set all around

in addition to all this stuff, I've recently added: - an alternate font to help with visual readability, and... - a specific sound toggle for sound sensitivity! I'm really committed to improving playability, so if you had any concerns regarding readability or sound, i hope this helps you out!
a description of An Unplayable Game on the GAConf 2025 awards page. bullet points are:
- a game about accessibility settings that’s just a *bit* too hard for you to play effectively. 
- 10-15 minutes in length with 30+ minutes of developer commentary (with transcript).
- Extremely good example & description of mobility accessibility in platforming games.
- Fully cursor-only play.
- Created by a solo, disabled developer.

screenshot for the blocked. I try to not engage with negativity too much but it's just... not very nice to say that ANY aspect of dev is unimportant you can make games without perfectly engineered code! but let's not piss on programmers just to have a hot take
a bsky post from "davemakes" @mixolumia.com. it says "elitist programmers are an albatross around the neck of indies and I never want to hear another dev feel ashamed that their good game doesn't have 10x engineer code. good code is a specialization. it ranks so far below game design, narrative, music, art, marketing, community management."
