@alanahpearce.bsky.social second ep in a row I've got a gambling ad before PWL. Just want to check that's intentional (understand if so) and to flag in case it isn't.

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

Convinced Figma doesn't understand how enterprise costs work at all. Can't split invoices by cost centre, can't assign seat numbers to cost centres, can't attribute extra AI credits to a cost centre, don't seem to be able to stop 1 person from using the org's entire extra monthly credits.

Hey #stitch looks pretty co... never mind.

From idea to app: Introducing Stitch, a new way to design Uls - MAY 20. 2025

Killed 1 day ago, Stitch was a tool that allowed you to turn simple prompt and image inputs into complex Ul designs and frontend code in minutes. It was almost 3 days old.

If anyone (Nvidia?) needs an honest voice to tell you your AI-generated slop-machine is a terrible idea before embarrassing yourself in a public announcement, I'm available. While my rates are indeed astronomical, you can clearly afford it, so calm down.

The annual #playdate anniversary sale is now on and the SpinShot wishlists have definitely been doing their (much needed) job. Thanks to all who've played it to date, and if not, it's only $4 for a bit. play.date/games/spinsh... (also check out Xorbius, Diora, and Wheelsprung. Fantastic games.)

SpinShot is 33% off for the Playdate anniversary sale. $4

Developing for #Playdate sure is a humbling experience. 3+ years of dev on and off. 130 sales in the first month. 🥲 No regrets, did it for enjoyment and learning. It's calibrated my expectations appropriately I think. (Sale in March, wishlist perhaps? play.date/games/spinsh... )

The next Figma Config conference is going to be *really* interesting. I feel like we'll be able to feel the impending disruption and erosion of their position, due to the erosion of the traditional design process within orgs. I want to see how they try to stay relevant.

My first game, SpinShot is finally releasing exclusively for #playdate on Jan 20th, 2026. It's a block-breaker score-chaser with a spin. Play through 48 story levels across 4 biomes. Master 3 unique abilities and a suite of upgrades, and see how far you can get in the endless Arcade mode.

I don't think I've ever randomly stumbled across such Google reviews drama before, but this is wild. Yikes.

A 1 star review of a park stating not to take your kids here due to a fat italian man who tried to touch their kids.

Two more 5 star reviews saying 'I don't know what people were saying about a fat italian man, this place is great!'

Another 1 star review mentioning the round Italian man making everyone uncomfortable, followed by an update saying that the Italian man is now leaving positive Google reviews to lure children to the playground. Yikes!

I'm really enjoying The Alters for the most part, however the game design around recovering from dead-end states in the game can be quite frustrating.

AI-generated code is buggy, unsafe, and inefficient. Fixing those problems cancels out all the productivity benefits of using AI tools, so devs hate them. But what if there was a methodology where those weren't (your) problems? Turns out there is. I've updated eXtreme Go Horse for the AI era.

The future of AI-driven development isn’t Agile. It’s XGH.

The eXtremeGoHorse method perfectly complements the strengths of AI-powered dev tools. Introducing XGH+AI.

It seems like not enough people are playing Bionic Bay. It rules. A mix between Limbo and Speedrunners. Tight platforming, absolutely gorgeous pixel art, and crazier physics puzzles and abilities. It's cheap and runs perfect on Steam Deck.

The Zen Browser project has been making a surprising amount of progress recently (certainly more than Arc has, ugh). There are still a few core features missing (picture in picture for videos, "little zen", and crucially auto-closing tabs) but it's worth checking out again.

Increasingly feeling like a lot of tech products aren't 'for me' right now. Holding onto a phone (Pixel) and laptop (Yoga) I don't really love, because there's nothing that feels significant enough to warrant an upgrade. Always feels like if I wait for the next version, it might be the right recipe.

Parts of the new Sleep Token song sound like Bo Burnham's "All eyes on me" and you can't convince me otherwise.
