Here's one of my favourite bugs from earlier in Beat Bots' development. I call this one "The Particle Accelerator"

Still the absolute funniest "trailer remix" ever made -- as well as one of the very first of its kind, debuting in 2005 Every shot is perfectly chosen God I could watch this all day

Just learned that Happy Wheels is on Steam and got hit with a wave of nostalgia 😍 That was the go-to game to secretly play in IT lessons. Good times

Got an Instagram ad where a British guy says "I'm 26 years old and have never tried pizza before". I'm doubtful to say the least 🧐 Reminds of when there was a trend of reaction channels claiming to have never heard Bohemian Rhapsody before

How did we implement the ambiences for Big Walk? @nicholaszhangaudio.bsky.social manually drew poly lines for all the different biomes and rivers, and built tools to detect shorelines and scatter positions. Most of it is done before the game even runs, and then we just blend between stored values!

This is why @emaudible.bsky.social recorded the ambiences using a quad setup! (We went with the standard and then got rid of one of the channels in the edit). She built this contraption using antennas so that it would be portable and easy to hike around with! #BigWalk #gamedev #gameaudio #indiegame

I really REALLY need game devs, and especially those who are in higher up positions, indie or otherwise, to clue into the fact that crunching away for weeks or months of a time is neither normal nor something you should wear as a badge of honour.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: in a diner, a waitress looks over her shoulder to watch a TV mounted on the wall. A news reporter is one screen, surrounded with text that reads FOUR DEAD and DEVELOPING STORY. The reporter says, “please be advised— the murderer is still at large.” Panel 2: the reporter continues, “here’s their photo.” He gestures with his pen towards a photo next to him. The photo is a guinea pig wearing a multicolored propeller hat. Panel 3: the waitress watches the TV pensively. Behind her at the diner counter is a guinea pig in a propeller hat, seated before a plate with an entire head of lettuce. This may be the murderer in question but at this stage I’d only be speculating.

I am completely not joking: Any space that's messy enough can sound great to record in. You need to commit to the right level of terrifyingly chaotic piles, though, but if you do, it's reflection-diffusion heaven. (See also: My horrifying shed) #fieldrecording #sounddesign

When a menu has a neat little tween. Or a character has a funny little animation. Somebody out there spent days making that little detail perfect. And when you’re playing a game you’re blasted with like 50 of these little things per minute. Games are so rich with human life! It’s awesome!!!

When you play Big Walk you're exploring a real place. To capture that in the ambiences @househouse.com invited me on our own big walk through Wilson's Promontory National Park in Australia. Being there with the team was such a special experience, and a highlight in all my time at @ashellinthepit.com
