In video game simulations, what do we call the opposite of abstraction in processes? Where instead of "crafting two things together" with a button press you must enact processes of grinding, attaching, etc? Or what Bennett does with limbs+muscles, instead of just "push forward to move" abstraction?

Any new Thief thing is a win in my book — no matter if it’s THIVRF.

free advice for game developers: try to make the next smash hit video game, such as grand theft auto. if you do, you'll be making more than just a video game – you'll be making millions of dollars

EMUUROM's demo is featured in the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase @puzzleshowcase.bsky.social from May 29 to June 5 - thank you once again @draknek.bsky.social & friends!! #indiegame #gamedev

I'm working on a bigger Dreamcast game It's called black screen It'll be done in 3 or 4 months maybe, but I'm putting out development snapshots starting now: captkuso.itch.io/black-screen #dreamcast #homebrew #gamedev #spacegame #raylib

dragon lady next to me at the second life rave was too close and her wings kept clipping through my player model. I didn't mind but she apologied each and every time it happened. chat was filled with hundreds of variations of "oop sowwie >_<!! xoxo" and "uaah! not again! orz" by the end of the night

EMUUROM is featured in Thinky Direct next week, so I wrote a new devlog about it! borbware.itch.io/emuurom/devl...

Thank you!! Happy that this is finally out and maybe it inspires fresh ways to think and talk about game feel! You can check it out here: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/... #gamedesign #gamesresearch #research #gamefeel #juice

Sauna by @zhamul.bsky.social Can’t wait to get back to my modded console so i can burn this onto a disk and play ♨️ zhamul.itch.io/sauna

in spite of the decades-long clamoring for the need to look at video games as a serious and consequential art form, we still largely don't do that. instead they're still largely approached as excellent machines for a certain kind of playful addiction. the "play" is more important than anything else

Here i am, making a new game again (tho i shouldn't) 🌨️ 🐕

#gamedev tip. When I worked on Alan Wake's levels I fixed about 20% of the level bugs reported by QA by placing a rock over the bug ☝️

I've been working on this new video work for quite some time. Here is a short sample of my upcoming work "You Saw Nothing".

i think just like how much videogame music has influenced music in general the past 2 decades+ it's hard to understate the influence of games on other media and definitely is something that is underreported for many different reasons

We are releasing a new game today! 🔋

The fake news game we are making made its way into South-Korean TV! 😮

Thief 2 is 25 today. It's one of my favourite games ever. But more importantly, it was one of Terry Pratchett's favourite games ever. www.theguardian.com/games/2021/d...

Happy 25th anniversary to Thief 2: The Metal Age!

An immersive sim is a game where you can flush the toilets.

Very nice idea to have a game jam at the National Archives of Finland using old maps in their archives as the theme. More collaborations like this please! The games could be a start for some new project with the museum as well.
