We're talked a little about Your Party Blows Ass, but what is it? YPBA is a game about literally fighting your anxieties by beating the shit out of your inner demons Half party-explorer with quirky characters to talk to, half hack-and-slash where you fight to survive a normal adult conversation.

I've been on something of a Neopets kick this month, which is both great timing while my fingers heal and terrible timing because despite healing I went and painted my beautiful Hissi boy.

Savage.
"Devolver and its board are seeking shareholder approval to delist, believing becoming a private company is in the best interests of Devolver, its employees, its partners, and its Shareholders as a whole," a spokesperson for the company told GamesIndustry.biz.

"We’ve made an announcement about this.

"The purpose is simple and positive. Being private will allow the Devolver Digital team, especially the finance, legal, and executive team, to singularly focus on the long-term health of the company and less on satisfying the requirements of the public market, which have nothing to do with being a successful game publisher."

It was a lot of fun hosting this and we got a tonne of positive feedback! There are so many furries that are scraping at the wall trying to get their art out there, and we need to do what we can to support, collaborate, and educate! Always feel free to reach out if you want to chat about game dev

There's something so beautiful, sad and cathartic about filling a little tube sock creature with a whole stack of trauma and watch them try to sort through it.

It was only one layer short of equalling the number of circles of hell. Someone could run a deeper analysis and they might be able to draw the equivalence between each layer and the appropriate sin that Sam Reich punishing the contestants for.

Games are also in that field! There are a LOT of games that feature furry and anthro characters, but very few that are actually made by, or explicitly FOR, furries. We've got our own little game studio and hopefully our first title can help resolve that! @walkysquawky.com

This is the project I've been pouring myself into for the past year(ish) We've got a great team and we've got some sick concepts and systems that are slowly coming together to make a game that we're proud of! Though it still needs a lot of work >v<

On the left is the player character; An anthropomorphic Black Dingo character wields and irridescent glowing sword. They're facing away from the camera, towards a large and imposing looking scarecrow creature.

The title is in the centre of the screen, between the two figures.

I’m not seeing people talk about the closure of Divine Playhouse. An arts hub for queer community, shutdown days after opening because of religious extremists once again attacking queer spaces and people. In trying to preserve a church you’ve quickened the process of turning it into apartments??

Duckie passed away today. I’m not sure how, we found him when we went to get everyone moved to new place. He just turned 8. Everything is a little duller without him, I miss him so so much. Cherry misses him too I think. Going to get him and Cookie to the vets just to be safe. Sorry Duck-butt 🍉

cool paper arguing LLMs can be implemented as a shitload of goats in Age of Empires II... thus it'd be silly to assume / project human-like consciousness onto it

It certainly feels like it. It is slowly getting changes, so there are eyes on it, but a totally reworked animation player I feel is like a Godot 5 kind of thing haha. Godot is definitely trending in a great direction and the contributors are doing invaluable work!
020
Tallow @tallow.bsky.social · 02/03/2026
That being said, if any Godot contributors are reading this: Look over the blender import pipeline. The animation player can break easily during refactor. Documentation surrounding creating custom Engine tools are lackluster or just missing. exported Packedscenes in GraphEdit have fake duplicates.

Tallow @tallow.bsky.social · 02/03/2026
Every new release has me excited for new features, and every time a major version/RC of Godot is released I'll see the changelogs and say "wait, it didn't have that feature yet?" Use the engine that is right for your game, but I can highly recommend Godot as a solid engine for a lot of projects.
110
Tallow @tallow.bsky.social · 02/03/2026
This is not to say I dislike Godot, I love it. We don't have to worry about the rug being swept from under us, it's super fast for iteration, it's node structure is robust, powerful, and extensible. Loving something means knowing it's limitations, and I hope to see Godot grow as our team continues!
110
Tallow @tallow.bsky.social · 02/03/2026
It was only recently in 4.5 that Godot fixed a problem that could cause git to mangle the game files (This was the UUID fix), and that fix had it's own swathe of issues that were only resolved in 4.6. And that's just one issue. I'd also LOVE to see official @fmodstudio.bsky.social support.
110
Tallow @tallow.bsky.social · 02/03/2026
I am a dev currently working in Godot on a game we are taking to full production. It's a brilliant engine, but you can definitely tell it's young software. It's on a fantastic path to become a truly excellent engine, and it is VERY capable, but it's not the solution for every problem unity has.

Tallow @tallow.bsky.social · 26/02/2026
I think one of the key failings where we're not investing in or caring for people is the dire lack of mentoring and knowledge share initiatives. Passing on "the knowledge" is an indescribable value of human connection, culture, and growth that is slowly being lost. Share knowledge with peers!
