All hands on deck! Ross explains how the EU Kids Act could end #StopKillingGames by collapsing the EU gaming market! youtu.be/mQRcK9nYg9g "The best thing you can do is spread the word...The people who write this crap do not like it when the public at large knows what they're trying to do to you"

This could legitimately end Stop Killing Games.

Everyone, thank you for letting me take it slow on #phobolis for a month. Just wanted to show what we're playing with adding next :D

Yessir, a Director's Edit version of the zine will be available at PAX AUS 2026 (9 to 11/10)! Plus, both this version and the original will be available on our itch on release. This itch, if you're wondering: datasparrow.itch.io The page is not live yet, but it will be soon.

While we're at it, might as well announce it properly! PENGUIN COLONY: THE FIELD NOTES is a 40-page companion zine to @origamedigital.bsky.social's Penguin Colony, set nine years before the events of the game and featuring actually handwritten notes for Maximum Immersion. OUT 16/10 or SOONER!

Alrighty, took us a second to get to it, but here's a couple of pics from the Reggio Nerd 2026 booth. It was a pretty simple setup, with plenty of room for improvements for next time. And yes, attendees who visited our booth were the first to see the zine we made for @origamedigital.bsky.social!

Alright, the second-to-last thing we're announcing this month is our first convention in the old continent: on September 27th, we'll be sitting under the tastefully brutalist roof of Reggio Nerd 2026, in scenic Reggio Emilia, Italy. [Image edit by MINIMIS]

Thank you for a warm reception from yesterday. I'm filled with energy to develop a game that gives you happiness🙏During the development, I'll work hard for the most difficult area such as rollback machine, before the full release. For now, a network that I wrote proudly by myself is available freely

Brute Fort is a microgame that comes with a cassette soundtrack, a micro-TTRPG, stark illustrations, and a constant sense of sacrifice and tradeoffs. My review: spacebiff.com/2026/09/21/b...

Fort, Thine Name Is Brute

For its size, I would classify Brute Fort as maximalist. Which perhaps sounds contradictory, given it’s a microgame that runs on only 18 cards and comes in a plastic cassette case. But each o…

Sometimes in the middle of a crowdfunding campaign you take the carefully crafted ads your co-creator made and crop them so that they look like an old school anime eye-catch screen.

For some styles, G'MIC should simply be your first port of call. If your whole project is meant to have a 90s VHS look, then you'll be putting the VHS filter on every image. Similarly for filters like ghost, Dorure Gilding, CRT phosphors, stained glass, oldschool 8bits, wiremap, and old photograph.

Ghost filter creates a supernatural black and white look.

Dorure gilding filter creates a burnished metal look.

Wiremap filter (works best with simpler images with central individual subjects).

Old photograph filter. Sepia tone, grain, and noise.

Very enthusiastic folks, as expected of a community as indefatigable as SAGE's! And if you haven't grabbed yourself some demos yet, get to it [ sagexpo.org ]!

The most infamous aftermarket kit for the Gupp I is probably GravFree's Hobby Gupp ("HobGoblin" for short) which traces it's DNA to old Earth ATVs used for traversing rural grounds.
