ah damn, RIP Margaret Hamilton. she took safety-critical software engineering seriously, and got people to the moon and back. news.mit.edu/2026/margare...

Actually did have stuff ready to post today but I forgot and now I’m on a train so next week maybe ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (My laptop weighs like 10 pounds so I don’t really bring it places lol)

Minor miracle: I did some game dev! For now just working out a simple system for passing time when I do chores. Took longer than I'd like to get the sun spinning right (defs still got some godot growing pains), but I like how it's all looking so far #IndieDev #GameDev #ScreenshotSaturday

I love when a project is in early stages. A lot of times I’ll try to squirrel away an early scene somewhere to come back to when the projects done, but 9/10 times so much has changed that it’s basically just a broken pink blob.

Can’t lie I only got into Magic because of the Fallout set. I enjoy the in-universe stuff more nowadays but the Mr House card is still one of my favorites.

Hey Solo Game Developers, What is the ONE thing that you keep procrastinating on? I absolutely hate playtesting. I hate it so much. Especially since so much of my games are narratives, so I have to play through the same scenario over and over to make sure everything works.

Making the game (Less jokingly, probably UI. Massive respect for UI designers but it’s always such a finicky process and I’m never really satisfied with it)

I guess they gotta save GOTY for last so if E33 didn’t win anything else it’d make that obvious. But idk I feel like winning 7 other awards before that might also be a subtle hint lol

Jakoby @jarkonian.bsky.social · 12/12/2025

I still maintain that awards should have tiers that you are excluded from if you win higher awards. Win GOTY? Well then of course you’re also the best role playing game and indie game and debut indie game and so on, but let’s maybe highlight some other people’s work too.

A Superman game centered on saving people sounds *amazing* to me tbh (Would be super hard for it to not feel like one big escort quest though haha)

I still think of that one cancelled Unity game mod… thing that synced people’s play sessions so that your friend appeared as a little floating bot in your game.

Sorry to hear that! I’m planning to make a patch for the Unity security issues soon, I’ll take another look at the bazooka scene while I’m at it. Thank you for trying the game out though, you’ve basically beaten it twice now :) Really means a lot!

This is so beautifully well put and kind of essential to understand the nuanced dance between player, game and designer. Thank you for putting your thoughts into writing on this game :D

Section from Kayin's piece that says, "Silksong will not let you get away with a one-sided conversation. This isn't sadism, but instead a desire for mechanical and narrative intimacy. This isn't a selfish request. A player metaphorically Monologuing to a game will never as rich of fulfilling as a two-way dialog. And the game actively rewards you for engaging with it. New areas, fun items, satisfying strategies, new lore and NPC interactions .... it's trying to be a good partner!"

Taking them off again at the end gave off a very “this particular bit caused a lot of bugs” energy to me 😆
