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.

I'd love to see what you come up with!

I lived like this for a couple years, I called it a rolling sleep schedule. It worked pretty well until I needed any structure at all

Fallout and Morrowind for me. Always something new to discover.

This is a great game by some great people with a great ending - highly recommend!

I had this problem too. Honestly unless you're lucky or have testers in comma land I don't know how you even avoid this.

Played some more tonight, and as expected it continues to slap. It was cool seeing that Leon's next section was Grace's last one. It made me wish I had left more for him to kill.

Silver Dubloons @silverdubloons.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

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!

Silver Dubloons @silverdubloons.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

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

Silver Dubloons @silverdubloons.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

Also Portal! Been a while, I'm due for a replay :D

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

This was tough to pare down. Notable missing games: Super Mario World, Fallout: New Vegas, Bastion, Factorio, Diablo 2, Starcraft 2 and Warcraft 3

Wow, I didn't even register the release date when I looked it up, way ahead of it's time.

Silver Dubloons @silverdubloons.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

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 · 24/02/2026

I've never even heard of it! Looks right up my alley, though!

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 did this with Outlaws last year. Didn't regret it a bit!

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!

All of my code looks like this 😭😭😭

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

There is something really special about that scene

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!

Silver Dubloons @silverdubloons.bsky.social · 12/09/2025

I've been watching my buddy play it most of today, it looks super fun! Feels a lot less incremental than the switch from 2 to 3

Absolutely! Unfortunately I also get overwhelmed if I have too many problems to solve, so starting a new project is always a tricky problem itself - finding something that presents just the right amount of new challenges.
