i am going to ruin all of my relationships by forcing everyone to play the Skin Deep demo. it's generational. somehow better than my favourite game ever (quadrilateral cowboy).

It's been weird recently. I've stopped checking social media. It annoys me at this point, I cannot stand it. It feels like a bug has been removed from my system.

Coding has always been a huge barrier for me, but I'm finally forcing myself to learn. I made this silly little anti-game for #pico-8: www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=146... Thanks @ptoing.bsky.social for the help!

And a new texture pack is up. A high fantasy set inspired by Heretic and Hexen and going for a more retro feel (I hope). strideh.itch.io/delven

I think the 20s will be remembered as the decade that every single game, no matter how unfitting, had a dash or dodge button.

Honestly if you're the kind of person to self-doubt about if you're able to make video games / code / do art / map / whatever, you just need to look at the majority of people who make games. You're not dumber than Jonathan Blow.

Honestly it's rare you get a designer like Hugo Martin in the AAA space. Bold, defined design choices which aren't just 'lets make the previous thing again but slightly improved'. Eternal was a huge leap for better and worse from 2016, and I think TDA will be the same.

diversity in media is a social moral good etc but it's even simpler: diversity is interesting. like even the "medieval europe was only white" lad simulator couldn't resist a queer black character... the same stories always about the same people = boring www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-gamergat...

Modern flashy 'everything is a mask' and 'everything smoothly transitions/scrolls' web design sucks. Whenever I see a website trying to emulate late 90s/early2k web design it makes me so fuckin' happy.

Still feeling down, so I'll remind myself of couple of my Quake oldies, why not. The first thing I ever contributed to a Quake Jam: Mutagensis, and the terribly named Abbeytoir, that manifested after playing too much Bloodborne. Lots I'd like to go back and fix, but I'm learning to appreciate 'em.

got frustrated with how hard it was to find old level design talks, so I started a "recommended talks" page on the level design book book.leveldesignbook.com/appendix/res... (still many talks missing, but it's a start)

Here's a small making of of my latest Quake map "Freezing Furnace". Build time was about two weeks and the map had to use the mod Arcane Dimensions and feature the jump boots item. 🧵 #leveldesign

Unfortunately, with TikTok soon to be banned I actually have to become productive. So, I've gotten elevators to work. These will function as the transitions between most of the levels (excluding some special occasions) so I guess this is actually a pretty big milestone?

A while back, I made a remake of a couple of Quake Champions maps for this one, Lockbox and Vale of Pnath, along with a bunch of original areas to tie them both together naturally. 🟦 Vale of Pnath 🟥 Lockbox 🟩 OG

ngl Metroidvania games were better when they were all 5hrs long. Stepping away from a modern MV for 2 days must be what it feels like to have Alzheimer's because I don't know who you fucking people are, where is my WIFE?!

Here we go, something I've been drafting for a long, long time: how the US-centric approach to video games and their history / culture basically gaslights us who come from other realities: felipepepe.medium.com/the-gentrifi... AKA, why LAN Houses, PokéTibia & Bomba Patch rule.

Game Idea #41: Game with a banging OST + dynamic difficulty, vocals only come in when the dynamic rank is at max.

Rabbit and Steel is quite interesting for how it adapts the key broad gameplay elements that make MMO group content appealing, but trims almost all of the fat. No healers or tanks, no need for dispels or resistances, simple rotations. A lesser designer would have made a much less laser-focused game.
