I released sobosuba yesterday on steam :) store.steampowered.com/app/1946560/... It's basically ultra squishy suika game. Primarily fun but with some depth and careful design such that score-chasing requires strategy, tricks and skill.

I made CRANIAL CHILLMAXX, an inventory tetris game about filling your head with good thoughts. 3 minutes of playtime or however long you feel like. Play in desktop browser here: j4nw.itch.io/cranial-chillmaxx

I made a game called "Carrot Kingdom!" where you stretch a rabbit's ears to grab carrots! 🥕🐰 It’s a browser game you can finish in about 20–30 minutes. Check it out and give it a try! www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=156... #pico8 #gamedev

#fabtcg broader picture of PEN and SAGE and expectations aside, I gotta say this Dori SAGE precon reveal hit me for ciritical emotional damage who put this together and went "yeah, good enough" and why has it been happening to Warrior for 6 years now

Summed up my competitive #fabtcg results over the past few months and pretty stoked to discover I'm objectively Consistently Decent at the game, only ever playing my pet deck that most people consider C tier-ish (all Dawnblade all day baby)

Had a good ole time at #fabtcg Calling Valencia. It feels really rewarding to roam around an event and see people using my life counter app at the casual level tables. I think for next time I travel to something big I'm gonna make some stickers to give away.

God I love #fabtcg so fuckin much, it is simply the best game I've ever played period and will regularly shill for it. If you want to check out the best physical TCG in existence, they just formalized a super budget friendly format. Find a playgroup at fabtcg.com/locator and hit up your locals.

Finally a good excuse to show this project off for #fabcw #fabtcg. Laser cut plywood drawers for each set, C/R sorted alphabetically, sleeved majestics stored separately in the front. The first drawer with a gem symbol holds equipment pieces in minisnaps. All ready for Super Slam!

had my first ever collaborative music jam alongside my good bud @themorfeus.net on our grooveboxes, an ethereal experience tbqh. so glad to be discovering at thirty something that getting hard filtered by skill intensive acoustic instruments isn't all there is to live music as a hobby. shocking lmao

Like seemingly a lot of people in games, I haven't been able to stop playing and thinking about Blue Prince over these past few days. Incredible game that expects a lot out of you to unveil its layers upon layers of puzzles. Respects your intelligence, and borderline disrespects your time.

I played over 20 Steam Next Fest demos of mostly tactics/cardgame/roguelike adjacent stuff and my #1 standout was Bramble Royale by @slothwerks.bsky.social, simple but unique and immediately interesting system + a very well executed Adventure Time-esque vibe. Glowing recommendation s.team/a/2372950
