Ezra Szanton @ezra-szanton.itch.io · 08/10/2026Sometimes steam players get a bad rap for being toxic, but I've found most of the players in the Mr Magpie forums to be really lovely so far! Case in point: a discussion about how "random" the game is (a complicated and somewhat fraught topic) 031 3
Ezra Szanton @ezra-szanton.itch.io · 08/10/2026Another one (Side note, it is actually kinda crazy how similar Mr Magpie is to Voltorb flip. Something I learned about when somebody told me halfway into development!) 000 0
Ezra Szanton @ezra-szanton.itch.io · 07/10/2026Making a game that combines a lot of stuff is funny because it kind of breaks peoples brains to talk about. 1110 11
Ezra Szanton @ezra-szanton.itch.io · 14/07/2026Headed to Develop Brighton! If you see me, please say hi :) I'll likely be wearing my big goofy sunhat whenever I'm outside. 2140 14
Ezra Szanton @ezra-szanton.itch.io · 22/05/2026When students ask "what's the point of these obscure mathematical facts, who would ever use these?" the answer is GAME DEVS! Just today it was useful for me to have an intuitive sense of what formula would create a curve that slowly-ish approached 1 across a logarithmic scale. 1162 16
Ezra Szanton @ezra-szanton.itch.io · 10/04/2026One of the many homer simpson fat back types of game programming things. 151 5

Ezra Szanton @ezra-szanton.itch.io · 29/01/2026boop! KOLYDR: adamatomic.itch.io/kolydr (this game is amazing 091 9
Ezra Szanton @ezra-szanton.itch.io · 12/09/2025Mr Magpie once again on the front page of itch! 1112 11
Ezra Szanton @ezra-szanton.itch.io · 28/07/2025We're the #1 most popular roguelike on itch right now! Thanks everybody! 2295 29
Ezra Szanton @ezra-szanton.itch.io · 08/07/2025Markiplier's video on our game just hit 2 Million views! Classic example of luck + preparation. Preparation to make a great game in a popular genre, luck that Mark saw it on the front page of itch and decided to make a video on it. 4432 43
Ezra Szanton @ezra-szanton.itch.io · 27/05/2025"The Exception that Proves the Rule" seems like it justifies incorrect rules. It should be called "The Exception that *explains* the rule". If a card says "Attacking doesn't cause it to tap" it explains (via exception) that normally attacking *does* cause creatures to tap. 020 2
Ezra Szanton @ezra-szanton.itch.io · 23/05/2025These knockoff web game portals are something else. (They scrape games off of itch and post them with AI generated slop descriptions) 181 8
Ezra Szanton @ezra-szanton.itch.io · 13/05/2025I'm especially curious what @isaacshalev.bsky.social thinks of it! His article about clockwise / counterclockwise randomness was one of my inspirations for the essay 100 1
Ezra Szanton @ezra-szanton.itch.io · 02/05/2025Looking through the feedback for the Be Honest demo today. I don't understand what you don't understand about your result?? your result is "see you in 42 years" makes perfect sense to me?? 010 1
Ezra Szanton @ezra-szanton.itch.io · 25/04/2025I'm a big fan of @deadlyyucca.bsky.social and I followed their tutorial to make this stack of shaders in Unity. I'm excited to play around with it more. I'm using Unity's RenderGraph to blit a bunch of materials in a row. 030 3
Ezra Szanton @ezra-szanton.itch.io · 23/04/2025Mr Magpie is the most popular web game on itch right now! Fun to see, especially since I pushed a big update today (win streaks with Cinco Paus-y upgrades between runs) Ignore the porn games we're sharing the front page, that's just itch for you. 0121 12
Ezra Szanton @ezra-szanton.itch.io · 03/04/2025Love it when someone makes an account for the sole purpose of telling you a bad beats story :D (unironically) 010 1
Ezra Szanton @ezra-szanton.itch.io · 23/03/2025The players are breaking the game (affectionate) 160 6
Ezra Szanton @ezra-szanton.itch.io · 22/03/2025Itch just featured our game on the front page! Look at our little puppet man go. Surely there's nothing wrong with him. 0265 26
Ezra Szanton @ezra-szanton.itch.io · 23/01/2025Working on a horror game that messes with your computer, sometimes you get interesting things stuck in your version control 160 6

Ezra Szanton @ezra-szanton.itch.io · 11/12/2024(12/11/24) A nice relaxing one today! This is a good one to try if you want a high score ;) 200 2
Ezra Szanton @ezra-szanton.itch.io · 10/12/2024(12/10/24) regret splitting some colors but overall think I played OK 110 1
Ezra Szanton @ezra-szanton.itch.io · 08/12/202412/8/24 - 240. Even better! Played well and got lucky I think. 220 2
Ezra Szanton @ezra-szanton.itch.io · 04/12/202412/4/24 - 190. Embarrassing score today honestly. I played it too safe with the shapes at the beginning and then accidentally orphaned two tiles at the end 😭 300 3
Ezra Szanton @ezra-szanton.itch.io · 04/12/2024You people have now played Domino Grove 11,127 times. It only released a couple weeks ago. Calm down. 020 2
