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.

I won’t be at GDC this year. I’ll be home playing Marathon in-between baby feedings in a constant state of sleep deprived cybernetic fever dream. Hit me up if you want to squad up!

Winter is that time of year where you work through your gaming backlog. Here are my steps for deciding what to play: 1.) Pick one game to buy on sale. 2.) Pick one game I already own. 3.) Download both. 4.) Launch one of them and get to the title screen. 5.) Play more Hitman World of Assassination.

NYC’s indie game community is a constant source of energy. Through @gumbonyc.bsky.social we’ve worked with devs like @thomasofwilson.bsky.social on Myrtle Grove and Citrus. Gumbo's been integral in keeping us connected to experimental design, narrative experimentation, and new technical approaches.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future. Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

Dug up some old childhood drawings this weekend. When I was 10 years old I wanted to make a mascot platformer where all the characters are the personification of all the holidays, like a #Halloween mage with cargo shorts.

see also: game criticism imo

A tweet from @katie_campione that reads:
Film criticism, when done well, is supposed to make you think deeper about a film and engage with it in more complex ways. It is not really meant to decide for the entire population whether or not they should see something. You all have agency. You get to decide that yourself.

Was riding by Target this morning on the way to work, upset that my Nintendo pre-order hasn’t shipped yet. Saw the line for the Switch 2 and said “F*** it”. They had more than enough for the line and some left over! #Switch2

Citrus, our game for the Zero Day Solarpunk Game Jam was influenced by a number of things. But most of all, the thesis of letting technology reveal nature to us, is key to the #solarpunk genre and inspired by a book I love called Ways of Being by @jamesbridle.bsky.social avleestudio.itch.io/citrus
