Any ideas for solution? #gamedesign In my mining roguelike, falling blocks (left) may trap the player without them dying, which isn't fun. The stone around can be broken by explosives, but in this case no space to escape. I can't make them breakable by hand without trivializing the difficulty.

So this is the state of game development today: Solodev posts about their game on social media, post goes viral, dozens of copycats immediately spawn

It baffles me how in this day and age, nobody has yet managed to make some document writing software that doesn't implode when you try to move an in-text image.

One of these stone blocks are able to fall and one is stationary. (I just paused time) Could you guess which is which? Any suggestions to better visually distinguish the two types?

Wish Godot tweens had auto-complete instead of being string-based, so I could avoid going several months without noticing this bug:

What if a turn based game let you do 60 turns per second?

On the way to GamesCom, walked past someone fully dressed up as a Minecraft villager, said "Hmm!" and got a "Hmm!" in return. 10/10 conversation.

PSA: Common Scam for Steam devs to be contacted by someone who wants to buy your game. It's their entrypoint to using your Steam approved game to further distribute the scam/malware, since Steam only validates a build by humans once, making it possible to later patch in something malicious.

Damn, I didnt realize that un-privating all my old videos at once would spam people's subsription feed. I just had 8 people unsubscribe in the past couple hours due to that, accidentaly purging 1% of my Youtube subscriber count 🥲

I just un-privated dozens of old Dig Dig Boom testing footage and playtest recordings on my Youtube, from 2023-2025. Might as well put them public if anyone is curious to browse. www.youtube.com/@SteinMakesG... Sorry if anyone got notification spam of like 50 "new uploads" 😅

"RPG" is a kinda bad term for a game genre. Any game can be a "role playing game" if you try hard enough. "Let's roleplay as an italian plumber in a kart race"

Interesting observation from running reddit ads for my game for a week's time: The system can compare different assets to see what performs the best. The uncontested greatest click-through-rate, beating other media and images, comes from the use of the headline literally just being the game genre
