The year is 2026. Websites now display one of three ads: 1. You should start gambling! 2. You should stop gambling! 3. You should look at this close-up of a festering toe!

There was a time when I would post game dev stuff to my YouTube. These days I just post stupid mashups that kept me up until 3 AM on a like... half-decade schedule. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZR1...

Perforvius the Wise, realizing that I was recording the whole time he was making jokes about elf ears:

I wasn't super interested in The Adventures of Elliot in the first place, but every time I see a comment about how stupid his name sounds in the title, my distaste for it grows. This is Elliot Moose all over again.

If you're following me for Tumble Rush, you probably like colourful pixel art games that would feel at home on a Game Boy Advance. If so, you absolutely owe it to yourself to play Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo! This game blew me away. store.steampowered.com/app/2870350/...

tfw you accidentally leave your ad campaign live with no money in the account, and a year later, you've built up just enough ad revenue that it automatically spends itself (It's fine, it wasn't a huge amount of money -- I'm just happy to see more people playing Tumble Rush 😅)

I haven't been watching the numbers much, but apparently back in March, there was a sudden spike in people playing Tumble Rush in Indonesia. Wonder what happened! Neat to see people are still discovering it.

Some good insight into the game publishing landscape this year: indiegamepublishing.com The average terms don't look nearly as dire as I was expecting, to be honest! And hey, if a publisher offers you worse, here's some data to back you up.

Hi Brazilian folks! (I assume that's why I'm suddenly getting followers?) I should really try to post here more often.

If I never had to pick a time and date for an event again, I would be very happy. Knowing that, I started a game company and am now ramping up a team for a future project where I will have more meetings than I've ever had in my life. Why am I like this

Reminder that Unity recently blew $110 million after their model started serving faulty data to customers, and in a separate incident, took in bad data from a major customer that rendered part of their dataset unusable. But hey, trust them, *this* data model is totally accurate!

Unity on how they determine their new install-based pricing: "We leverage our own proprietary data model, so you can appreciate that we won't go into a lot of detail, but we believe it gives an accurate determination of the number of times the runtime is distributed for a given project."

I guess I should post something here! I'm working on Tumble Rush, a mashup of a marble maze and an endless runner that you control by actually tilting your phone. Here's the trailer, feat. music by the excellent @cosmicgem.bsky.social!
