I let go of the idea that video games need to have "good graphics" (a.k.a. the best possible graphical fidelity that's currently possible) somewhere around the PS2 era, but sometimes I'm reminded that not all people did. Today I read a comment that described Elden Ring's graphics as "shit" 🙃

Hey artists! QRP with your sketch vs final 🖤

I made a general top 10 list a while ago, and all of the games on there happen to be from the 21st century, so I guess these are my Top 10 Games of the 21st Century.

Escape from Mutation Station is the cheapest it's ever been (and the base price is already cheap) during the Steam Summer Sale! If you're into short, weird puzzle games, give it a try! 👇 store.steampowered.com/app/3137530/... #SteamSummerSale #SteamSale #indiegames #gamedev

Halp! Hollowbody is on sale again for the summer sale :) and once again it's getting beat up in 'recent reviews' from folks who r buying it expecting something more than what I could achieve as a solo dev working on their 2nd 3D game :( If you bought the game PLS PLS leave a nice review for me x😄

I will probably make this one day. At least a small version of it. The market gap might be filled by the time I get to it, though 😅

Played through all of Elden Ring (including the DLC) with 2 players using the Seamless Co-op mod. There were small issues here and there, and I had to re-open the world and/or restart the game a couple of times each play session, but overall one of the best mods to ever exists in my opinion.

'Lies of P' has officially sold 3M copies worldwide 🎮 To celebrate — all staff received $7,500 bonus pay, two weeks of paid vacation, and a Nintendo Switch 2

Finally caught up with One Piece.

Reading comments about games you haven't heard of be like Babilicon was the shit back in the day, I hope they bring back Lunar Landz (or Lunar Handz!), they should remaster Hopping Hologram-Man Harry and Car-Boat Carnage, but if they can only do one, it should really be Rhythmicus 4.

Sometimes I want to look at a certain artist's work, but I can't for the life of me remember their name. I guess I should make a list of people/art I like for future reference or something.

I'm a former Nintendo programmer turned indie dev, and I've always loved the multiplayer mode in Pikmin 2. But it had its flaws—like high input complexity and difficulty finding opponents. So I built my own take: Jelly Troops an online action RTS. #SteamNextFest #indiegame #gamedev

Somehow I've never played this. Hoping to rectify that soon.

I know next to nothing about #Onimusha, but this is one of the coolest effects in video games I've seen.

I guess tomorrow is another "watch a bunch of game trailers" day. Those are generally good days.

I just started a new Elden Ring run, they can't do this.

We (you) did it! Thank you! 🙏 #gamedev #indiegames

The honest reason I don't have microtransactions/season pass/ads/100 DLCs/etc in Balatro isn't just about the ethics of those practices but because when I play other games that have those things it makes me want to put my computer in the dishwasher and set it to pots & pans

One of the coolest things about making Escape from Mutation Station was hearing back from the developers of some of my favorite games — and getting their blessing to include references to their games in mine. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

I have no idea why this turned out as blue as it did, but it might be the coolest picture I took at Tokyo Skytree.

Echoes of Wisdom is the Pokémon game I never knew I wanted.

Too many games I want to play. I should make a priority list or something.
