A look at the use of color in “A Matter of Murder: Second Stab.” The game is very dark, primarily greys and blacks, with restrained accents of pure color from a limited palette of pure colors and white. These accents draw visual attention and signal interactive elements. #gameart #gamedev #indiedev

The jilted lover and the cricket bat make sense to me. It's the missing shoe that's tripping me up. I think the reason it's missing is because the killer had no choice but to take it with them. It's the key to the whole puzzle! #cozymystery #puzzlegames

September is Library Card Sign-up Month! If you don't have a library card, go get one. Libraries are pretty neat and you can often check out things other than books such as movies, music, games, tools, instruments, and more. Plus they can be a space to do work and study, and have meetups.

Launch day for Station to Station on #NintendoSwitch! We can only do so much to market under all kinds of variables like budget, the economy, other games launching, and people’s mindset. I still stand by this timeless classic that @meredithgran.com has created, and hope people play it when they can.

Every detail of a game communicates narrative, says @gilesarmstrong.bsky.social - so no writing is too small to be important. For more tips and inspiration, turn to www.inklestudios.com/kaleidoscope...

If Republicans hate the CA and VA redistricting, they can thank the person responsible - Donald J. Trump. None of it would’ve been possible without his leadership on this issue.
