QUESTION OF THE DAY: This sounds like a joke question, but it isn’t. If it doesn’t apply to you, fine. But it’s a serious question with different levels of meaning. And I am genuinely curious. When did you first realize you were weird?

Sat in the library at medical school, typing away, fellow student comes over - a guy I've never talked to - guess he was just curious, asks "Hey, what are you doing?" "Writing an idea for a third Alien film" I obviously reply He looks at me oddly for moment, says "Cool", never speaks to me again

Returned from Budapest on a 3 hours delayed flight early Saturday am, got 3 hours sleep before off to hospital to get big toe joint fused. Had an amazing sleep last night, and thankfully pain not too bad. Two weeks off work now, hobbling round house in big blue medical sandal!

This is not about any specific game btw, just seen screens of three different action platformers in the last three days - they look gorgeous, but I do hope no laid-off devs are betting the farm on any of these being their path to stability Yeah, sad thoughts only tonight 😔 no solutions, soz

Tony Cooper - hungryblackbird @tonycooper.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

It just makes me worried for those devs, passionate to make a game that reminds them of the games they grew up with, hoping to recreate that same feeling for a new generation, only to release on a day with 4 other similar games, and another 5 out the next day

100

Tony Cooper - hungryblackbird @tonycooper.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

But I've been around a bit now, I remember the first wave of "clearly inspired" Unity sidescrolling platformers and how many there were, and I feel I'm seeing the same again now just with much higher production values and more personal risk behind them

100

Tony Cooper - hungryblackbird @tonycooper.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Not because they are bad - many look and sound and play incredibly well! But the sheer number of games looking so similar makes it hard to pick any single one out. And ofc money isn't the only measure of "success", and there's certainly not much of that in most forms of art!

100

Tony Cooper - hungryblackbird @tonycooper.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I still see screens and vids of many indie games where they are VERY obviously based on a classic game, and you know what ... that's great! But there are so many of them I worry how many will end up being that devs only game, because they just won't sell.
