god this arc of 7th Prince is so incredible The author took a break a few months ago to plan this whole arc and it shows, it feel a lot tighter and well-written, the pacing is impeccable

Game where every level builds up to a climactic bossfight but when you get to the boss arena the boss isn't there but every NPC acts as if it is You do the entire game like this and there's a metanarrative where you the player need to figure out why the game is broken

Still thinking about the epilogue of Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe I think I can now admit to myself that I was pretty disappointed by Wanderstop, in large part because Stanley and Beginner's Guide marked me so deeply It was a really good game, just not at all what I was expecting after those two

Games I've played recently Endacopia : one of the coolest games I've played in a long time. I vibed with it like I've rarely vibed with a game before, and it kept surprising me at every turn with how weird, funny, and sometimes surprisingly earnest it could be.

Half of the work of a game designer is copying ideas and concepts you like from other games and trying to fit them in your game The other half is copying ideas you didn't like from other games and changing them so they work more like you wanted them to

I really and truly think that the Souls-like mechanic of having to get to your corpse to get your money back and if you die you lose everything is one of the most unfun game design ever

I say this as a joke but honestly if, when playing a video game, you can lose and: - not get frustrated or annoyed - think about what happened and examine the elements in play - reconsider your choices regularly then you'll be well on your way to overcoming a lot of difficult gaming challenges

This is very true. It reminds me of the reason why Benett Foddy named his game "Getting over It with Benett Foddy", he talks in a video about making yourself known as a creator when you're a small indie, and not hiding behind a studio name. People follow creators.

Started playing The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood store.steampowered.com/app/1340480/... I've barely started this game, and it's kind of blowing me away. I've been captivated by its atmosphere, dialogue and story just from the hour I've been playing. Really didn't expect to get absorbed in it so quickly.

I am weirdly invested in the Mr Society storyline in Deltarune Idk why this particular NPC has gripped my attention more than any other Like, the others are cool too, I like the recolored Rudinn, I like Top Chef and Mallius But every chapter, first thing I do is check up on Mr Society

Cairn - Review 🧵 I have a lot of mixed feelings about Cairn, and I've struggled to write this review for a while because of it. So let me get to the conclusion first : Cairn is absolutely a game worth playing, and I recommand it to anyone interested by the premise of "a game about climbing".

It's not a competition, obviously - but it's absolutely bananas that GMTK Game Jam 2026 actually received more submissions than this year's Global Game Jam. That makes GMTK the biggest game jam in existence. (Maybe GGJ allowing AI-generated submissions put some devs off... who knows?)

Here's a small #GMTKJam2026 update It's now the start of 3 of the jam. Here's how we spent the early parts of day 1 brainstorming between us. The first thing I always like to do when the theme dorps is a word cloud, where everyone writes single words they think that relate to the theme.

I feel like Kane Parsons really nailed what the Backrooms are, what they should be, and what they represent Saw a tweet talking abt how the "serial killer" horror genre of the 90s & 00s has given way to the Gen Z fears : isolation and simulacrum, and I love that analysis
