I'm a few days late but it's been a year since Scrongly released! It feels like so long ago. I remember the day I set it to go live on Steam I thought I'd want to stare at the screen refreshing for hours. Instead I went for a bike ride and got rid of some of the anxiety. Still swimming.

Just played a couple of hours of Resident Evil Requiem and I'm loving it! I'm thrilled it runs well on my 2070. The action scene with Leon in the hospital had me laughing, great stuff.

I'm working on a game where you play as a hacker finding exploits in an online casino on a Windows-95-esque desktop! Here's the first few minutes of the game: youtu.be/eLZiV3yJ9vw

Played through Universal Paperclips again today. I adore it, especially the ending. The existential feeling evoked by Riversong towards the end was beautifully haunting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qy6N...

I had a productive day! I am loving working in Godot!

I'm really enjoying learning Godot! Waited way too long to do it!

Been playing Slay the Spire 2 every spare minute I get and loving it. It's so beautiful. So satisfying to get a crazy build going. Encounter design is phenomenal, and every run feels different. The player characters all so unique. They jammed so much in here, and it all works. I need to learn Godot

I've been loving Project Silverfish. The progression feels phenomenal. I love how everything is a struggle in the beginning, and there are so many solutions to the myriad of interesting problems the game throws at me. Fantastic world building, so alien. 10 / 10!

Silver Dubloons @silverdubloons.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

Replayed through Final Fantasy X over the last couple months. I love the story, and the way it's told. Every character feels so unique. Perfect pacing. 10/10.

I want my next game to have a higher fidelity UI. To that end, I've been learning blender and substance painter. I'm proud of how this turned out!

I switched to Visual Studio two weeks ago after using Notepad++ for most of my life. The AI is kinda cool for writing boilerplate code, and saves me some time with writing debug statements. So far, so good!

Played through Squirrel Stapler today! Very haunting, the events near the ending had me very on edge. Great experience!

Played an hour of Look Outside tonight, fantastic vibes. Combat's great, the premise is cool, I love all the pixel art, it's very stressful in a good way. Definitely going to play more!

Tonight I submitted the store page and build of Scrongly for review on Steam! I'm nervous and excited! Having a game on Steam has been a goal of mine for over a decade.

Silver Dubloons @silverdubloons.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

I hit a big milestone in my my latest project, a completely rewritten from the ground up version of Scrongly! Got it set up on Steam and had a friend play it last night!

Been playing Abyssus in the evenings the last few days. Lots to love about it, the guns all feel good, the roguelike elements allow for crazy combos, it's very fast paced. Good stuff.

Hot dog, I beat Prison Escape Simulator: Dig Out in one session. Super half baked and imbalanced. The game crashed during the final sequence for me and I lost a bunch of progress, but was so far ahead I got it back very fast. Fun for what it is.

Silver Dubloons @silverdubloons.bsky.social · 09/07/2025

Played a bit of Project Silverfish and really enjoying it! It's got that easy to learn but tough to master combat system, the looting and item management feel good, and the world is intriguing and fun to explore. Great stuff, definitely going to play more!

000

Silver Dubloons @silverdubloons.bsky.social · 05/07/2025

Played through a bit of Gears: Tactics tonight and really enjoyed it! Mechanics are solid, executions are brutal, and the progression seems broken - I hope they challenge me more when I play it next. Great time.

Just built a sick-ass Wizard Tower in Tower Wizard. I love this new generation of high quality incremental games

Was craving a shooty game so played through Far Cry 4 over the last couple weeks. Love the gunplay, taking over the fortresses is a highlight. Can't stand any of the characters, and you can't skip the cutscenes, so alt-tabbed and watched Twitch while they were running. Thanks Limmy.

Silver Dubloons @silverdubloons.bsky.social · 09/06/2025

Just Beat the Skeleton King in @ballxpit.bsky.social and holy moly. That game feels so good. Everything feels overpowered. Super satisfying. Great music, and I love the art style. I adore the castle in the intro, it looks gorgeous.

Silver Dubloons @silverdubloons.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

Just finished up Is this Game Trying to Kill Me? and loved it! Lots of clever puzzles. I never got stuck for long but also felt very smart for figuring things out. Puzzle games that get that balance right really hit for me.

Silver Dubloons @silverdubloons.bsky.social · 17/05/2025

Played through the playtest of Gemezl's Nox Fatalis tonight and really enjoyed it! I respect their fast development and the way they build on each of their previous games with new mechanics and tech.

Silver Dubloons @silverdubloons.bsky.social · 14/05/2025

Just played through the Age of Ulstryx campaign in Wildermyth, and I loved it! Great mechanics, writing, and progression. Got surprisingly attached to several characters in my party. It was a little easy. Love the artwork and music!

A screenshot of my 5 person party in Wildermyth, just before the final battle of the first campaign. I had 2 warriors, 2 mystics and a hunter. My hunter turned into a wolf and one of my fighter's arms turned into fire!

Just finished up a playthrough of Little Big Adventure 2, one of my all time favorite games, another 10 / 10 for me. It's the most charming game I've ever played. I love the visuals, the animations are so delightful. It's so colorful and the voice acting is superb.

Silver Dubloons @silverdubloons.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

Today my game Scrongly was featured on @arlucgames.bsky.social stream and it was a really fun experience. Great community, very positive atmosphere. Thanks for the opportunity!

The Oblivion remaster is so wild to me. How did it come about, and why? It feels like it must have been such a huge project, so many assets, plus the core game feels different so a lot of stuff on the backend was probably remade. Will people be playing this over the original in a couple years? Mods?

Silver Dubloons @silverdubloons.bsky.social · 13/04/2025

Just rolled credits on Blue Prince, and wow! I could not put it down. Beautiful game, loved the style and music. The mechanics are second to none. One of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. A new game to add to my short list of 10 out of 10's.

A screenshot of the stats page for day 23 of Blue Prince, the day I finished the game. It boasts 21 excavated dig spots, 4 shop rooms, 41 total rooms, 87 steps taken, and 13 items found.

Played Death Stranding for a few hours, and really wanted to like it. The world is super intriguing but I just don't vibe with the mechanics at all, sadly

Silver Dubloons @silverdubloons.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

Played through A Little to the Left DLC, Seeing Stars tonight. I feel so good playing this game, and I love those cats so much!
