Finished The Clockwork Girl by @annamazz.bsky.social and really liked it. Beautifully-written, fantastic characters, a historical mystery - just wonderful! #booksky

The Daily Spell, my narrative daily puzzle game, is still going strong with puzzles drawn from The Importance of Being Earnest. This is a sad week though, since I just sent the last of the weekly bonus puzzles that take place in my original fantasy world of Yliad. www.the-daily-spell.com

A purchase from Steam at 4 in the morning got my card locked, was flagged by my bank as “unusual activity”. It’s like they don’t know me at all…

I don’t know, I feel like that’s pretty smooth #nyt #strands
Interface for NYT game - Strands. 
Today’s theme - Smooth moves.
The attempted answer “PLOP” is greyed out, implying it is not the right answer

I remember playing Tyranny with RTWP. It wasn’t terrible but the constant pausing breaks the immersion a bit. At least with turn-based, you’re never out of the action, you’re just fighting very polite people who wait for your next move 😂 I like how Minsc calls it out in BG3, lol! 🎮 #baldursgate

Woah, amazing but insane! Reminds me what a baby I am in my cryptic crossword journey. Would never have got “SERENOS” 🤯 www.theguardian.com/crosswords/c...

Very cool. I wonder how far back it goes, because Madame Defarge and other women in The Tale of Two Cities are depicted as doing exactly this during the French Revolution

Loving the setting and art for Season 3! Will Thinky wear a scarf? Or will the sparks flying between Thinky and Rival be enough to keep them warm? 🤭

Season 3 of Thinky Dailies has begun, taking our hero on an adventure to the Solver's mountain outpost! ✍️ Handcrafted puzzles every day 🧩 A journey through many kinds of puzzle 🗓️ Catch up on seasons 1 and 2 any time thinkygames.com/dail...
A promotional image for the start of season 3 of Thinky Dailies. At the top of the image is a yellow banner with the Thinky Dailies Season 3 logo and the text "Starts Now!".

Below the banner is the cartoony key art, illustrating the main setting for the season - it features a red steam train bounding along railway tracks towards a snowy town in the mountains. On the train, we can see some Thinky Dailies characters: the hero, Mouse, and the hero's mentor. In the town, a train station and bookshop are visible. Up in the mountains, a derelict building can be seen amongst the snowy pine trees, and nearby there is a cave with a pair of glowing eyes visible in the darkness.

At the bottom of the image there is the URL thinkygames.com/dailies

Finally wrote a devlog for The Archives of Trevosa! I want to talk a lot more about our inspirations and design, but decided to do that next time, but then couldn't resist talking about them a bit. 😁 Plus, some hints about Trevosa's future! 🔮 jamwitch.itch.io/trevosa/devl... #gamedev #indiedev

Updates, inspirations, and what's next for The Archives of Trevosa
For Ludum Dare 59, we created a narrative deduction game about translating an unknown language in order to fill in a multigenerational family tree. It’s been awesome to see the response to the game...

Just caught up with the Thinky Direct now, very cool! Think the most exciting one for me was The Granny Detective Society from @team-empreintes.bsky.social I love cosy games / stories where old people solve mysteries, I suppose it gives me ideas for what to do when I get old 😆

Just finished No One Would Do What The Lamberts Have Done by @sophiehannah.bsky.social Didn’t read the blurb beforehand, so was pleasantly surprised by how strongly dog-focused this was! What a wild, twisty and utterly bonkers ride; I told my dog the plot and he approved 😁 #booksky
