"The sad, the weird, the awkward parts of sex and physical intimacy" - that's what the team wanted "coalescent || tidal rapture" to explore, instead of another game selling you a tidy romance fantasy. @sharpiepls.com is digging in with great questions!🌊 #gamedev #GDoCExpo2026

Reading an article about AI agents and just struck by how much this technology is made by, made for, used by, is foundationally based on the assumptions of "manager brain" or "owners". You never do things, you have others do things for you, which now counts as yours. Delusional way to see the world.

i have an inconsequential bone to pick with public signage in France, something about the use of the first person makes it sound very condescending to me, like they're talking to a child. "je monte et je descends avec" yeah i better hope so lol? just "n'oubliez pas vos sacs" would've been fine

Pps. Wait I forgot one last amaze thing! I didn't get to as many talks and workshops as I would have liked, but I nabbed a place at let's make a game manual for a game that doesn't exist, led by @hatimb00.itch.io It was a wonderfully creative and playful experience, and the finished manual! gorgeous
A photo of the finished pages of the manual pinned to a board A photo of some of the finished pages including one in the bottom left that wasn't there in the previous photo. (it's a bad crop because I accidentally took a pic of someone's hands in the full image) A close up of one of the pages I worked on, the "world" page. We collaged a lot of maps and interesting images for the background. A close up of the other page I worked on. I wrote the character descriptions on the right!

@coalescent-tr.bsky.social was featured last week on rock paper shotgun 🤯 www.rockpapershotgun.com/tie-yourself...

Tie yourself up in wriggling loveknots in this graceful and silly merpeople sex game
coalescent || tidal rapture is a game of heartbreak, undersea evolution and sex positivity that looks like a lucid dream about mating eels.

@hatimb00.itch.io and Hanwen Xu remark that the industry doesn’t know what to do with sex. Their game coalescent || tidal rapture presents an aquatic space for exploring queer forms of sex freed from pain and heteronormativity. Inspiration from slug sex and other forms of polymorphous pleasure
