As you become older, your memories slip away. The reels in your mind fade and darken. It feels like you are moving away from that joy at a terminal velocity. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug to rekindle that encapsulated happiness for just a moment longer. Unfortunately, it's priced out of reach.

Hey everyone! I’ve spent the last two weeks building a mini arcade, and it’s finally done! Meet the Arcade Boy: a fully 3D-printed, small-form arcade cabinet running RetroPie and built for two-button games. I had to source all the parts myself. Here are the 3D files: makerworld.com/en/models/15...

I have been playing around with some swimming controls in my Little Nemo project. You sink slowly and jumping makes you rise, but holding down makes you sink faster. It's based on Super Mario Bros./World and so far, it feels pretty good! #indiegamedev #gbstudio #GameBoy

1. Astro Bot This is platforming perfection. The amount of charm stuffed into this game is enough to melt the most hardened gamer's ice cold heart. A celebration of decades of video games all wrapped into one perfect experience. Joy-inducing brilliance from start to finish.

2. Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth Pulling directly on my heartstrings, the 2nd part of the remake of one of the best RPGs of the late 90s has plenty to offer. I often played Queen's Blood or mini-games longer than the main story, but its main quest is just as engaging. Amazing!

3. Animal Well I have never had so much fun with a 2D platformer. Every aspect of this game was equally cute and dangerous. I loved the art style, characters, and sound design. If you're a fan of platformers or love exploration, this game is perfect for you.

Pearacidic Games 🍐☣🎮 @pearacidicgames.com · 21/12/2024

4. Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown What an amazing combination of Metroidvania and Souls-like! Quick combat and fun and engaging puzzle elements offer a unique take on the genre. The gorgeous 3d graphics in a 2d space work quite well here, and the game also plays like a dream.

5. Mind Over Magnet A perfect balance of puzzle-solving and platforming, Mind Over Magnet was a great surprise this year. While it only took a couple of hours to beat, the cleverness of the puzzles and unique mechanics made it joyful to beat each level.

2024 is almost over! We got In The Dark 2 physically sold in retro Gamestop locations across the US, which is crazy. Though it has been a challenging year, there’s still much to be grateful for. I also want to celebrate the amazing work of others. Here are my Top 5 favorite games this year:🧵

With the advancements in #gbstudio and the Swap Tiles plugin by Fredrik, I can do a full-screen animation with only 6 events on a #gameboy color. This is some amazing stuff we're embarking on here. This scene took me ~1 hour to set up after art. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #pixelart

It's always been my philosophy: a rising tide lifts all boats. #indiegamedev

A girl shouts, another girl crouches and smiles, and a man yells. They are all excited about two lobsters fighting each other. Money is spread across the floor. The title "Game Devs" is labeled above each person and also the two lobsters.
