Started Control Resonant yesterday. Only played for 2 or so hours, but I'm looking forward to playing more. It is as gorgeous as ever, and the world is still intriguing. The only thing I didn't really like so far was the first boss fight. Not my cup of tea either visually or mechanically.

Saw Backrooms. Really liked the beginning and the end (the investigation/research parts).

I assumed it would do well because of LoL and TFT. Shows what I know. Personally I barely finished the tutorial, but that's me with every fighting game except Tekken so far.

I'm probably going to watch it way later, and even then just skip on the timeline a few times, think "okay, it's GTA" and be done.

3ish hours into Crow Country. Love the graphics, love the vibes. Creepy but kind of cozy at the same time. Good stuff.

I understand most non-Japanese speakers aren't familiar with the Japanese word "meccha" (=extremely, very, really, super, so), but I still find it funny how people talk about Meccha Chameleon like it's some kind of a giant robot reptile.

There was a glorious time, before streaming, when DVDs were an excellent gift. £10 to give someone something you've seen and enjoyed, or a £35 box set of a show. Then as soon as everyone had a Netflix account the odds were they already had access to it and suddenly no one got movies as gifts anymore

Beat Mina the Hollower by @yachtclubgames.bsky.social. Definitely one of the best games I've played recently. Brought me back to when I first played Link's Awakening. A lot of Shovel Knight in there, too. Also liked the fact that I could cover my lack of combat ability with a good trinket build.

I see Mina the Hollower has one of my least favorite game mechanics ever created: wind that slows you, and either stops or changes directions periodically.

Celeste is a pixel art game that uses high resolution portraits and UI for the dialogue. I'm trying to find examples of the opposite (a high resolution 2D game, or a 3D game, with pixel art portraits and/or other UI elements). Any ideas? #gamedev #indiedev

I feel like animating for games usually involves making the animations like at least 50% faster than the first pass, just to make the "push button -> something happens" connection feel better (even though as an animation it might look slightly worse because of the lack of anticipation etc).

The main gameplay loop of Outer Wilds wasn't really my thing, so I never played more than a couple of hours of the game, but after watching a few playthroughs of it, I can certainly respect it. One of those games that makes me think about it a lot even though I didn't really enjoy playing myself.

I know it's really not a good idea, but sometimes I wish there was a way to reply to Steam reviews. When a review says "I wish I could do X" or "I just wish the game had Y", and you actually can do X, and the game does have Y, I'm always like

Just a thought (which I may want to make into a reality sometime way into the future): I wonder if there would be interest in a podcast/YouTube series featuring interviews/conversations with Japanese indie devs, subtitled in English? #gamedev #indiedev

What are some of your favorite games with a flat-shaded/flat color aesthetic? Can be old or new. Looking for games with art styles similar to games like Donut County or Frog Detective in terms of colors and textures (or lack thereof). #indiedev #indiegames #lowpoly

One of the greatest things about game development is coming up with a thing for a game, then realizing you have already made a very similar thing in a previous project, and being able to use that with just a couple of changes.
