Been meaning to throw my 9 games up! To the surprise of nobody, I'm sure (also Ratchet & Clank is the spiritual 10th spot, with THPS3 not far behind)...

GTA Tightened'reas has a minigame where you play golf with a porta-potty and satchel charges My chat was flaming me for being bad, so I had to hit them with a fully blind shot on the 3rd hole

My favourite part of GTA SA was always skating around listening to Smashing Pumpkins, weird that people don't talk about that mechanic more tbh

This AI trash pile is out now btw. For those unaware, this "developer" wholesale ripped and reskinned Cyreide's game Zera: Myths Awakened and are now profiting off it on Steam. Since the store page is sadly still up, please leave a negative review and help shun this slop back to the nether.

This whole situation is insane, the kind of thing that can destroy a dev's motivation too... How does this continue happening!?

Flit has a level where you help out a group of gravity surfer dudes around their space station... Was there really any other name for it than 'Far Out'? Huge shoutout to @shemp.store for the bodacious voice work on the Vibelonians! (Ignore the placeholder Soichi Terada jam!)

Problem: Despite being iconic, Vikings didn't actually wear horned helmets. Solution: Make the Viking enemies bulls. (I take the historical accuracy of my green bat 3D platformer very seriously)

I woke up one morning with the level name 'Himalaylien Invasion' in my head, it tickled me... That's the only reason this level exists. A scary amount of my game dev work has the same origin, including the new logo! 🦇 (As usual, ignore the Ape Escape placeholder tunes)

All I can say is that I'm really happy I got to release Clive 'N' Wrench in a time where physical games were still "a thing". It was a dream of mine since childhood to hold a game I made in my own hands... Sucks that future devs may never get that opportunity now :(

That was a super productive day of game scripting. Feels great to be back in full on game design/narrative mode. I think that this will be something unique and challenging/fun to play. My only problem is that when I am back in full on creative mode is turning the brain off to relax. 🧠🔥

The first day of dev production on my new game. Adapted from my illustrated industrial folk horror novel “Coal Face - The devil in the smoke.” The art style is in keeping with the book and the era of the setting. Lots of original gameplay surprises to come! The journey begins. More news to come!

A couple years back I put together this #Firefly PS1 game mockup, mostly as an art style test (but also 'cos sometimes I can't help myself). Never had much intention to share it publicly, but with the push for the new animated series it seems like a good time to... You can't stop the signal!

Spacefarer Games, a 1 person "indie game studio" steals Cyeides' Zera: Myths Awaken game, renamed it, recolored the textures and has it listed up on the Nintendo eShop. Spread the word that Spacefarer is a game thief! Support Cyreides, the original creator! cyreides.itch.io/zerama #videogames #psa

Bought a copy of Dreams specifically to play this... Money more than well spent, the best Banjo thing I've played in DECADES! So like... why can a handful of fans make something THIS GOOD that's both faithful and adds some freshness to the formula, and yet we never see anything official? WILD

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum". PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TvW...

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct. That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9nO...

There's something very satisfying about nailing a long glide from a later section of a level, and landing above an earlier part... Ofc that skill must be rewarded! 🦇

Nothing in Flit N Flutter is safe from easter eggs... 1% chance of getting *that* version of the line here. Shoutouts @dylanjayfox.bsky.social for recording this take as a joke... but it's canon now. 🥐

A few neat additions to help Flit feel more grounded as you explore levels! Her wings bend if they collide with walls, she'll also push against a wall if you run into it and will now reorient to match the slop of a standable incline! (Again ignore the AE music I'm jamming to...)

One of my favourite 3D platformer design features is when a level loops round on itself to let you explore from another perspective 🦇
