Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 20/09/2026New RE-movie was pretty great but way more of a comedy than I expected. Which was fine and worked great for the most part but some of the supporting cast leaned a bit too much into the sillyness IMO. All the Umbrella people being bumbling idiots especially 020
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 17/09/2026The new Fire Emblem sure has a lot of convoluted story stuff and extra nonsense at the start. I just wanna move tiny cute units on a grid 030
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 13/09/2026"Our AI is so powerful and dangerous we have to slow down to make sure it doesn't kill us all" sure is a better narrative than "our tech is pretty useless, not really getting any better and we're running out of money" 0145
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 08/09/2026So yeah, OOT environment look nice, Hyrule Castle Town especially. Charactes are hit and miss for me, love all the minor NPCs but not sold on the more important ones, child Link especially. props for letting young Zelda look a bit weird and distinct though 220
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 15/05/2026Looking through some old stuff. Can someone please make a game that looks like this so I don't have to? I'm too comfortable being retired. There were still a lot of issues and stuff I hadn't solved or figured out (including what the game was supposed to be), but I still love aspects of this artstyle 3101
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 14/05/2026I'm finding it hard to buy into most sci-fi scenarios these days. It's just too hard to imagine we're ever getting any new transformative tech again that isn't just a big completely useless investment scam 131
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Obviously the ceasefire isn't real, Trump bluffed too hard, got called and had to do something to walk back his doomsday threat. But even just implying that the US is considering Irans 10-point plan is very funny 140
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 08/04/2026To be fair, he never said which civilization would end tonight 070
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 17/03/2026Super Punch Patrol looks really sharp on the Switch 2 screen at 1080p after the system update. The game doesn't actually use any anti-aliasing, but covers up nearly every hard edge with my squiggly line rendererer 161
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 17/03/2026Oh this is nice. I wanted it from day one but figured it would be too un-Nintendo. Super Punch Patrol and Onion Assault look soo clean in native 1080p on that screen 071
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 17/03/2026In an alternate reality there could probably have been a case where a more machine-learning based rendering was valid, with a pipeline that let developers set up their assets with precise control. But in this reality, every techbro needs to be locked up and all AI tech eradicated so we can move on 0104
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 01/03/2026I'm loving RE9 and the game is beautiful, but the nuked city sections are giving me PS360 flashbacks, when that was the setting for every game 020
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 05/02/2026That Orbitals trailer is gorgeous. A bit curious what method they're using for the cell shading, if it's similar to the line rendering I'm doing in Onion Assault and PunchPatrol 060
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 04/02/2026It's a real travisty that DK didn't win all the game awards and grammys etc for the Zebra Bananza theme 030
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 23/01/2026What the heck, who bought my games last month? Had the best non-discount sales in years 051
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 22/01/2026I still have idea what jobs AI is supposed to do that aren't already highly automated with less stupid solutions. 250
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 22/01/2026Unfortunately I only have a bachelors degree, and only sort of a CEO, but if I can still make him sad by saying there is zero practical usecase for current gen AI except for making everything worse, I want to do my part 0174
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 14/01/2026I don't understand how any judge could look at this case for more than five minutes and not immediately force Rockstar to pay billions in damages youtu.be/dnuipPQDd_w?...youtu.beRockstar vs. Union: We Went to Court and Saw the EvidenceYouTube video by People Make Games 011
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 10/01/2026youtu.be/jXwsxkSEuyw?... I'll admit a lot of things in Punch Patrol are pretty sloppy. I made it in a few months during covid while dealing with depression and burnout, and it's not really a genre I'm that great at or passionate about. But damn I still love the overall look of the gameyoutu.beSuper Punch Patrol release trailerYouTube video by Bertil Hörberg 181
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 28/11/2025When we see them laying down the Yellow Brick Road in Wicked 2, that is some shitty road construction, it will be completely unusable after the first heavy rainfall 040
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 17/11/2025As much as I don't care about the Goeff Awards, I'm still happy to see Silent Hill f nominated for narrative, and perhaps more surprising and significant, japanese Hinako for performance. I'm assuming that's a first for non-english language actors 060
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 05/09/2025I'm kinda tired of so many indie metroidvanias being so sleepy. I'm bored with 'atmospheric', give me some funky grooves while I'm exploring 081
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 25/07/2025Was able to get back my Steam account now. And it doesn't look like the hackers were able do much damage before it got locked, except change the publisher listing on the GC1 store page 000
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 25/07/2025So my Steam account has been hacked, which includes the publishing account. Trying to get in touch with Valve support to get it back but in the meantime I'd recommend staying away from my games on there. Not that anyone's buying them regardless 142
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 05/06/2025Is there seriously no Sound Options in Mario Kart World? the music is so low and engines so noisy 111
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 05/06/2025Can confirm Mechstermination Force runs on Switch 2, and my other games as well 3172
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 19/04/2025Black Mirror Hotel Reverie was a pretty dumb episode, but now I kinda want a lesbian remake of Casablanca 110
Reposted by Bertil HörbergBlackthorn @miasmaofvibes.bsky.social · 04/04/2025if the Switch 2 price is somehow actually the thing that kickstarts a working-class uprising, will history books call it the Nintendo Revolution or the Nintendo Wii? 821661
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 04/04/2025Higher AAA prices means a bigger pricing range for indies and AA devs, so I aint mad. Also we're already paying those prices on PS5 here in Sweden 020
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 03/04/2025I had assumed $80 was already standard. Most big PS5 releases are close to 900SEK here. Surprised to learn those are just $70/70€ elsewhere. Guess we'll have to wait and see what Nintendos policy on swedish currency will be for Switch 2 games 220
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 02/04/2025Gotta wonder what's going on with the sony-fromsoftware relationship 061
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 02/04/2025Otherwise though... yeah that presentation could have used some Gunman Clive 3 😜 1111
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 02/04/2025Unfortunately there will be no Gunman Clive 3 in the Nintendo Direct 250
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 01/04/2025I spent the whole time watching Adolescence looking for hidden cuts, figuring there had to be some real complex green screen stuff and motion tracking going on, never even entertaining the possibility that they actually filmed the complete episodes as oners 🤯 110
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 12/03/2025All my games are currently dirt cheap on the Switch eShop www.nintendo.com/us/search/#c... 02010
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 21/02/2025They seriously did the Akira slide on a f*cking horse 1111
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 21/02/2025Aside from the general insanity I can't get over the audacity of offering a country of 40 million people and a land mass bigger than the US the same status of like Wyoming. A serious offer should be like 5-10 states (while still insane and evil) 130
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 07/11/2024This was obviously always gonna be the case, but a small part of me was hoping for a full reset and an empty eshop to rerelease my games in 2101
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 25/11/2023Just spent hours trying to figure out why the 2D collision code I've used for 2 shipped games suddenly had the player randomly falling through platforms, before realizing I'd accidentally made the platform move slightly along the Z axis and it was in fact working as intended 060
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 18/10/2023Not sure if it feels like a 12 year graphical leap or not , or what that would even look like while still maintaning its style and a level of detail that's still reasonable for a solo project 021
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 18/10/2023This is in no way an announcement of GC3, or that I'm seriously committing to working on it, much less ever finishing it, but I played around a bit this weekend with applying some of my more recent rendering tech to its style 161
Bertil Hörberg @bertilhorberg.bsky.social · 21/09/2023Testing testing, let's see if people stick with this one or there's a shiny new twitter-like next month #indiegames 150
