Saw the live action Look Back. A very faithful adaptation, beautiful in many ways, and as melancholic as ever.

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.

Just noticed that the end part wasn't even part of the original theatrical release, and was released as part of the Backrooms YouTube series afterwards. Good stuff though, glad it was there.

I don't know about reliable fallback plan, but if I couldn't make games I would still either write, draw, 3D model, or animate in some capacity for sure.

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

First time seeing this game, and it looks gorgeous.

With "because of LoL and TFT", I mean there were most likely plenty of people willing to give it a shot at least, and the game itself is solid as far as I know.

Jay Marksman / ヤンネ @jaymarksman.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

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.

Jay Marksman / ヤンネ @jaymarksman.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

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.

Jay Marksman / ヤンネ @jaymarksman.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Such a cool model! The customization sounds fun, too (though I personally quite like the original yellow).

Jay Marksman / ヤンネ @jaymarksman.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Even if I owned a PS5, it would probably be off for over a week anyway.

Jay Marksman / ヤンネ @jaymarksman.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

I totally get why, since the giant robot word is spelled "mecha" in English (only a one letter difference), but in Japanese the words both look and sound different (めっちゃ vs メカ、meccha vs meka).

000

Jay Marksman / ヤンネ @jaymarksman.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

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.

Finally got around to watching Edgerunners. It was pretty good.

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

Buy my game super cheap during the Steam Summer Sale, so I can buy...uh, not much, really, since it's so cheap. Anyway, I hear it's an ok game. #steamsummersale store.steampowered.com/app/3137530/...

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.

Jay Marksman / ヤンネ @jaymarksman.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

I appreciate it! Apparently a lot of people have been getting these. I guess these people have leveled up from asking for free keys to asking for the whole game😅

Jay Marksman / ヤンネ @jaymarksman.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

Also, selling the rights for $100 isn't worth it for pretty much any game, no matter the scope

020

Jay Marksman / ヤンネ @jaymarksman.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

The game wasn't a huge hit, but I can guarantee you it has made more than $100

I can forgive it though, as it is quite excellent otherwise (15 hours in).

Jay Marksman / ヤンネ @jaymarksman.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

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.

Not going to say anything about the graphics yet, but the old red logo is where it's at.

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

Oh right, the Pokemon games have done this for quite a while! That's interesting about the higher resolution sprites. Didn't know about that. Thanks!

A Short Hike is certainly a good one! Thanks!

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).

Jay Marksman / ヤンネ @jaymarksman.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

(mostly because I suck at what comes next and I have needed to go through this room too many times)

Also, the more I watch videos about indie games, the more I want to make indie games. それに、インディーゲームについての動画を観れば観るほど、インディーゲームを作りたくなります。

Jay Marksman / ヤンネ @jaymarksman.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

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.
