There's no game I play more regularly and hate then Magic. I just finished a sealed of Reality Fracture and it pains me to say but they might have cooked with this one. Empower Jace is so smooth in limited my losses never felt cheap, I got to surveil away some lands, draw extra cards, it was nice!

It feels like Strange Scaffolding was the studio I thought Devolver Digital was going to be. Like Devolver hired Cactus and I was like "oh these games are gonna be wacky" and then they turned out relatively normal, meanwhile Xalavier is out here like "OUR NEW GAME IS HAUNTED LIBRARY" 🤣

Ok let's say you go out and happen to see an arcade, what games would make you walk in and play a bit? For me it would have to be the new Stern Pinballs, and Namco's Quick and Crash, what about ya'll?

This is an unfinished thought, but a friend just showed me these crack a pack lives on TikTok and I immediately thought what if the cards that got opened was somehow related to a secondary game instead of just straight gambling lol

One of the problems I'm trying to solve is game development seeming to not have an established common base of knowledge, which is why I think you get situations like that because learning those basics doesn't have a common outlet

If you work in education (or just are interested) I've created a folder of some activities we use for the four year high school level game design course I wrote and currently teach. I'd love to hear any feedback you have, always looking to make things better! drive.google.com/drive/folder...

So much science fiction relies on the idea AI will decide humanity sucks and wipes us out, but the more likely scenario is that AI and automation gives a handful of shitty people the economic and military power of entire countries that they then use to take over

I had high hopes for the online version from a few years back, it had all the original characters, but it was annihilated with microtransactions

Kind of surprised no one has made a vegetarian sequel to Super Meat Boy called like Super Plant Girl, main character made from a block of tofu, that'd be money for someone good at making platformer levels

Soooo...this Daggerheart system looks worth looking into, huh lol I like to give stuff some breathing room before jumping right on it, but seems like it's sticking around, guess I'll pick up a copy and read through it

This is why I think I like the Doom soundtrack so much, music's great no real need for vocals

..and while I don't have that fleshed out yet I think ultimately this setting helps create a scifi style experience for players who are used to playing nothing but fantasy settings. I'm going to expand it in the future, adding more people, factions, and a big tech section. I hope you check it out!

Gold Skull Games @goldskullgames.com · 17/09/2026
..so Freelancers are the adventurers, weekend warriors who have day jobs but during their off time sneak off into the restricted underground city ruins (our dungeon) and search for the lost technology of a nearly dead civilization (treasure) scifi's answer to a magic system is technology...

Gold Skull Games @goldskullgames.com · 17/09/2026
So my premise for this was that fantasy has so many built in tropes that it's almost perfect for any ttrpg. The concept of adventurers, treasure, dungeons, and often a magic system sets it up for success, sci fi doesn't really do any of this so I thought about how I could bring these tropes in..

Gold Skull Games @goldskullgames.com · 17/09/2026
So there was a minimalist game jam, no images, words only, basic formatting (which is a cool idea) and I threw the start of a science fiction setting in there called Freelancers of Raia. It's over on goldskullgames.itch.io if you want to skim through it. I'm going to chat a bit about it here:

With 50 days until the midterms, I urge you all to: 1) Help get out the vote. 2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference. 3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism. We are the only ones who can end this nightmare. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

As a result I've been kicking around the idea of making something like XCOM or Zero Company, but Wizards slinging magic

I think its honestly wild that as a genre, tactical RPGs (for me anyway) are infinitely more fun if they involve mainly ranged attacks instead of melee. That small change, along with some type of cover system seems to be what makes them playable
