If I had a nickel for every time I've been served tomato ice cream as part of a fancy restaurant's tasting menu, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Tomato ice cream does not taste good.

Adding a section at the top of our public developer documentation asking for AI disclosure has been fantastic. It’s self-selecting; the AI agents read our docs and disclosure the uses. Real folks usually aren’t reading our docs ahead of time!

It's not even 2pm and today has been a wild day: - Got threatened with a lawsuit by an AI agent - Got snapped at by support for a bowling website for reporting bugs - Got emailed about an Epstein Island video game (made by AI). With an affiliate program! Might be enough internet for today.

Tasselfoot @tasselfoot.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Devs. I'm BEGGING you. On Steam... submit your game build for review AT LEAST 3 weeks before release. It does not have to be Gold! About once a week I see a game unable to release on its release date because it's still under review.

020

Tasselfoot @tasselfoot.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Most of the game submissions we receive these days are AI. That sucks. If you are a dev with a non-AI web-playable game/demo and want 10,000 people to play it, submit to mygame[at]armorgames[dot]com! Possible licensing up to $250 as well!

Tasselfoot @tasselfoot.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Yeah, you definitely can. We use it for testing purposes pre-release all the time. And there are public tools (SAM/SAR) that do it. And you can do it directly via Console commands.

Thanks to all the devs leaving "chatgpt.site" in the URL for their game submissions. Makes it REALLY easy to auto-reject them.

and also shoutouts to Zup! and Jackbox for keeping consistency across a large number of games.

Tasselfoot @tasselfoot.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

This one is a Steam issue, not the game's... where it reads the space + number as alphabetically before the colon. Talos Principle 1's remake has a similar issue, displaying after Talos Pinciple 2.

Tasselfoot @tasselfoot.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Display order in Steam Library is important! Games in a franchise need to have consistency in naming so they don't look like shit (2 bad examples provided). For GemCraft Legacy Collection, I made sure this was done correctly! Doesn't that look good? What're other examples of this done well/poorly?

Screenshot of Bloons TD 6 and Bloons TD5 from Steam Library. Because of inconsistent naming, 6 appears before 5 in the Library.

Screenshot of Brothers and Brothers Remake in Steam Library, with different formatting, so it is inconsistent and looks bad.

Screenshot of GemCraft games in Steam Library, with consistent formatting so it looks good.

If there is a game you love, tell the devs. This shit just made my month.

Has anyone ever done a speedrun inside another speedrun? I just had the funniest idea: In Big Walk, there are blorbs that require waiting in a locked room for 5 and 30 minutes, respectively. During that period... runners could speedrun Goose Game any% and 100% with plenty of time to spare.

Dev: I made this game using AI. Me: We don’t allow genAI games on Armor. Dev: Is there any explanation? Me: No. We don’t allow genAI games. Dev: Don’t be rude. and… scene.

New problem... sales of the bundle ($80 for 14 games) don't get their revenue broken down and assigned per-game in Itch's backend. So now I have to manually do that. Guess we'll never bundle on Itch again, if we do ever run another sale.

040

Tasselfoot @tasselfoot.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

It showed up in itch's list of discounts right when the sale started, and then was quickly buried. I don't think we (or any of our devs) promoted it externally. But, like, if we discount on Steam... we don't have to then promote it to get sales. I'd expect the platform to have ways of doing that.

120

Tasselfoot @tasselfoot.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

$80 of that came from the person who emailed and asked us to do the Itch sale in the first place. Itch, I love what y'all try to do. But I don't know how to bridge the gap between value/time and supporting.

0300

Tasselfoot @tasselfoot.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

We ran our first publisher sale on @itch.io. This was the first time any of our 14 games on Itch went on sale in the past FIVE YEARS. And we made a grand total of $244. This is why we don't release on Itch anymore, and hadn't put our games on sale there in years.

Hey. Don't do this? Like, if this person had called out a specific game. And made it clear they're a huge fan but couldn't afford the game? Probably would give them the key. I want people playing our games. But, uh. Not this.

Congrats to @househouse.com on the Big Walk launch! Got a chance to play it early, rolled credits over the weekend, and stayed up to 3am last night trying to 100% (and failing, by 1 puzzle stumping us). Really awesome experience that will stick with me!
