Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 29/09/2026for real I am in danger of Valve sucking up all my free time entirely for October between Deadlock and my Steam Frame that arrives tomorrow 001
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 29/09/2026more like Valve never sleeps, holy SHIT this is the largest update to a game I’ve ever seen, thank you yoshi store.steampowered.com/news/app/142...store.steampowered.comDeadlock - City Never Sleeps - Steam NewsThe Cursed Apple is ever changing, and these streets are nothing like you remember. 100
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 24/09/2026just finished Crow Country last night. as someone who usually steers clear of “horror” games due to my spooking easily, I’m really glad I tried it as it is a.) not that spooky and b.) completely floored me with its ending message. 010

Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 15/09/2026Very excited for the Steam Frame, would be awesome to not have to use my Quest 3 for PCVR gaming anymore! 000
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 10/09/2026just got back from like 10 days in Spain and it’s a bummer not being able to just walk or take public transit everywhere, America really is a country where cars are mandatory for any decent standard of living outside of major cities. 000
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 10/09/2026Congratulations on releasing to 1.0!! It looks so good!! 🚀☄️ 110
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 14/08/2026I think the two main issues is that Unity needs to stabilize the rendering engines, and to develop and support teams behind great packages like Cinemachine, as opposed to laying them off or these packages becoming abandoned. Too much is put on asset store developers to solve engine problems imo 110
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 14/08/2026was literally tearing my hair out today trying to make three separate UI blur shaders from the asset store work today and they all broke due to unity shader graph breaking changes on unity 6.4 this unity dev yearns for godot for his job, alas it is not up to me. 110
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 13/08/2026"but the Derivative Machine will save us so much time and resourc-" buddy I don't think a dollar saved here will result in a dollar earned from me. more like 1 dollar on AI = -∞ money from people like me. I'm no mathematician but those finances look shaky to me. 010
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 13/08/2026never stops feeling bad to find out a game studio you've admired has switched gears to going all in on using gen AI for future production... despite their success being built on the backs of games that didn't do that... 120
Reposted by JordanUrsula K. Le Guin Bot @leguinbot.bsky.social · 08/08/2026War as a moral metaphor is limited, limiting, and dangerous. By reducing the choices of action to “a war against” whatever-it-is, you divide the world into Me or Us (good) and Them or It (bad) and reduce the ethical complexity and moral richness of our life to Yes/No, On/Off. 16727

Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 29/05/2026I love these sorts of deep dives into how the sausage is made for games, particularly where game design needs meets the practicality of game development - hoping for more and looking forward to the release of TKISMFAW! 030
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 09/03/2026I can only handle one game that involves shooting at a time I’m afraid, the UI design for Marathon whips ass though, super slick looking. 140
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 09/03/2026Having the ability to do support builds now for the sake of your team’s survivability is also cool, all the “another player gets this thing but not you” cards are super neat. The variety this system creates is super interesting, again I ask How Did They Get It Right The First Time? 020
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 09/03/2026Multiplayer specific cards are also deeply interesting. What do you mean I can make an Osty or Forge for each of my pals? Is the game telling us to do a three-stack Regent team? Signs point to yes (Regent best character btw). 000
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 09/03/2026For real, drawing on the map with your pals and fighting over which elites we hit that match the number of shops we each is awesome. particularly when one of your said pals always takes Greed and therefore needs the next shop to be the next stop. 000
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 09/03/2026How did they make multiplayer mode for Slay The Spire 2 the objective Best Way to play the game? They did it on their first try, how did they do this… this is not a hypothetical, I need factual answers. 300
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 09/03/2026deadlock spooky characters update. pokopia. slay the spire 2. my free time is so cooked right now, it’s over for me. 110
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 09/03/2026sts2 is an example of good software that does useful things (allows me to power trip the ability to throw a big floaty magic sword at monsters). 010
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 19/02/2026I loved every game that Bluepoint Games touched, the Demon’s Souls remake was and still is a visual masterpiece. It is a generational blunder on PlayStation’s part to shut down one of the best studios they ever had. 021
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 18/02/2026Yeah, slowly but surely I’m finding ways to use Godot more and more. My job requires me to use Unity since it’s what everyone else on my team knows, but for every game jam that I have time for I’m using Godot. 010
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 18/02/2026Wild how far one of the mainstays of the game industry has fallen in only a few short years. It is also, unfortunately, the game engine I have 7+ years of experience in… 100
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 17/02/2026my first MOBA is Deadlock and I’m trying to not be actively sucked in. seen what League did to my friends, don’t wanna suffer the same fate. …but it’s so fun to play… 020

Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 21/11/2025I cannot overstate how happy I am to see the @kingdomsofthedump.bsky.social team be recognized for the gem they have crafted, I hope they sell 1 million copies due to help from coverage like this. 010
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 19/11/2025I’m not even a 3D modeler and this is a dead simple choice: throw Blender $5 if you can to help keep the dreams of indie artists financially acheiveable! 010
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 17/11/2025Just got my backer Steam key! It’s crazy to think of how long I’ve waited for this game, I remember waiting for the game’s early art and music concepts to drop on Roach Games’ Instagram way back in 2019 when I still had an account. I’m very excited for Garbage Day tomorrow! 🗑️🪳🫧🎻🧥🐀 073
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 13/11/2025Gabe Cube is real! Also, the Steam Frame existing gives me hope for a future when Meta no longer dominates VR, this space can only improve by having competent competitors appear, which Valve certainly is. 000
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 15/10/2025It's a hectic week for me wrt Steam Next Fest but nothing could keep me from the Goodnight Universe demo. Before Your Eyes was amazing in ways that confound, and the next game from the devs who made it feels very much like a spiritual successor, check it out! store.steampowered.com/app/4012220/...store.steampowered.comGoodnight Universe Demo on SteamThis demo is around 20 minutes long, featuring a handful of scenes from early in the game. As you play as Isaac, you’ll learn what makes you special, how to conceal that special side from your family,... 020
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 11/10/2025started Discworld with The Color of Magic, absolutely hilarious book so far! 000
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 10/10/2025It's pretty ambitious writing to even attempt this sort of story given the five thousand year old legacy of stories you're building upon, love to see it. Can't wait for Hades III being about usurping Chaos, destroying the very universe itself and then recreating it from first principles. 000
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 10/10/2025I expected the same sort of thing of thing in Hades II for Melinoë's story, which would have been fine, but I'm loving the bold move of having no less than the fates of all gods and Titans coming down to the actions of the Melinoë, rather than just trying to escape your dad's house like Zagreus. 100
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 10/10/2025Zagreus's story in Hades was self-contained; it could be read as just another short story myth like that of Narcissus or Ariadne or whatever, where it being unknown to the player makes sense "canonically" as just one of those many stories about Greek figures that got lost to time. 100
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 10/10/2025Started Hades II this week after patiently awaiting its 1.0 launch. As expected, the roguelike gameplay is awesome and a true upgrade over the first game, but I'm loving the writing most of all. 100
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 08/10/2025More specifically, I need to take a risk on more games. This ratings graph kind of reads to me that I don't play games that I'm not 90% sure I'm going to enjoy, which isn't really aligned with my goal to be a Games Enthusiast™ who appreciates all kinds of games. I can't appreciate what I don't play! 000
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 08/10/2025I was updating my Backloggd today and came to the conclusion that I need to play more games, shocking. 100
Jordan @jordansmiths.games · 22/09/2025I had a lot of fun this week working on my game concept Bamboo Dog (竹 の 犬) for the #FallingBlockJam.
