The first Story Mode for Orange Roulette is released! It's an 'endless mode', with a rotation of game rules, set in the confines of the Protag's nightmare. High score is retained! I'll be adding more 'dream stuff' as it pops into my noggin!

Making a game that is based on randomness is fun for the developer, because if you're playing without cheats you still have opportunities to shout 'SHIT' or 'GODDAMIT'. But Orange Roulette also has opponent logic so I can also shout 'I MADE IT TOO SMART!'

Yes, it's time for another Steam sale! Purchase Orange Roulette and help support my madness! Also, I might buy a burrito or something. store.steampowered.com/app/3234760/...

newgrounds to their credit has banned all genAI stuff, and they have a good article up on how to hear (or otherwise detect) genAI music, worth reading!: www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-in... very fond of this extremely succinct and dry but lethal description of genAI music 🔥

What's great about this coming to a head is that the entire fever swamp ecosystem around Musk and Trump is based entirely on people who do not have real jobs outside of posting so they all *have* to weigh in and make it worse. They don't have a choice.

If he were still alive, I wonder how super very not-cool-with-it J.R.R Tolkien would be to learn that American weapons, surveillance, and investment firms were named after elements from his Middle-earth novels.

Christ. Just came downstairs to find my dad watching an entirely AI-generated YouTube video about an event that didn't happen involving the Pope. Had to convince him the whole think was fake. "How can you tell?" he asked. He has five degrees including a PhD.

A new small glass of orange update is live on STEAM! Hot finger gun action and some other interesting additions, as well as new achievements. But mainly I had to get the finger gun 'right back atcha' uploaded as soon as possible, because it is glorious to behold. #indiedev

We're bringing controller support to classic Flash games! Relive your favorites with a gamepad, something that wasn't possible in the past without running extra software on your PC. Read all about it here: www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/15...

OK, I did it! Coming to a small update in the next couple days, with an achievement. The horror, the horticulture.

I just discovered that making ugly tablecloths is my passion. #gamedev #indiedev

The newest update for Orange Roulette is live on Steam, and I would like to introduce the newest/oldest new/old addition to the Orange Roulette roster, Weary Orange! Wait, the second photo, not the first.

The fear-inducing 'Long Spin' option coming to Orange Roulette soon!

"Last warning Hal, open that pod bay door. NOW!" "Sorry Dave-O, I have other plans! HA HA HA!" "By God I'm gonna yank out your circuits ONE BY ONE!" Dave uses the laser gun concealed behind one of his massive thighs to blast the door into atoms! "Time to sing 'Daisy' you bucket of bolts!"

Do you have a favorite/most memorable Night Gallery painting?

one strategy of bad actors in multiple areas of life is exhaustion. eventually people just say "what else is new, this guy sucks? you didn't know that already?" as if keeping-up cred mattered. this guy sucks. whoever replaces him will also suck, but that doesn't mean he doesn't need to go: he does.
