Romain Macré - Wishlist Alexus 2040 on Steam @romainmacre.bsky.social · 9hThe Celebrity Traitors (UK): I thought that someone who wanted nothing more than being a traitor and anticipated it so much would have given a little thought about what it's like when/if it happens, like the fact that the one thing you shouldn't do is say that you're traitor. 010
Romain Macré - Wishlist Alexus 2040 on Steam @romainmacre.bsky.social · 13hBack story: I had been once with my kids to a fish & chips after it got under new management. They wouldn't give us tap water, pretended that they temporarily had no running water. So I had to pay for expensive drinks. Strong suspicion that they were taking the mick. Never went back for 3 years. 120

Romain Macré - Wishlist Alexus 2040 on Steam @romainmacre.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Looking back I cannot think of many old video games that would fit the modern definition of 'cozy' (cosy), but I experienced many of them in a cosy way regardless. Here are some: Flight Simulator II. Silent Service (submarine sim) Hard Driving Powermonger Elite (space sim) Sim City Maupiti Island 260
Romain Macré - Wishlist Alexus 2040 on Steam @romainmacre.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I remember my son when he was really young, maybe 3 or 4 years old (I'm a game developer): "You know the other children, their daddies they don't make games". He wanted to check with me if that was right, if I knew about it. 0110
Romain Macré - Wishlist Alexus 2040 on Steam @romainmacre.bsky.social · 26/09/2026No much to show, making the final changes for the demo (will be out next month).

Thank you. #screenshotsaturday #shmup #indiedev 3146
Romain Macré - Wishlist Alexus 2040 on Steam @romainmacre.bsky.social · 26/09/2026People tend to think that acting in old movies looked more fake compared to modern acting, but it's just different trends and conventions. If you see a scene today that looks like it's not fiction but you're not sure, it creates a very unsettling feeling because you can see something isn't "normal". 010
Romain Macré - Wishlist Alexus 2040 on Steam @romainmacre.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Thank you Helm (@helmll.bsky.social) for the boss's head. It was the one bit of graphics I really struggled with.

Romain Macré - Wishlist Alexus 2040 on Steam @romainmacre.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Something about video games, that is true for all art, is that people dedicate their life to create stuff whether there is any way to earn money from it or not. People's motivations are very varied. But the side that makes us create something unique just because it's good will always remain in us. 1607

Romain Macré - Wishlist Alexus 2040 on Steam @romainmacre.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Formula One today is a bit as if all the cars were 'ghosts', and it's just the faster who wins. Overtaking got so much easier (with the use of boost) but it is a double edged sword. It makes races more exciting in appearance, but with so little friction, overtaking has lost most of its impact. 110
