Due to recent events... I'll be adding some prompt injection stuff to my codebase for the full launch of the game! Would anyone be interested in making some silly graphics like this or come up with silly text that I should include in the final binaries? #gamedev

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.

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!

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.

You can actually find out within 5 seconds of getting one, so we'll give you a hint right away: 1. Did you try pressing jump a third time mid-air? 2. Are you aware of how Penguin Colony stores jump inputs? Put two and two together and you're going to see some shit.

Magellanic is going to completely break the speedruns, but saying why or how before the game is out would be unsportsmanlike.
