Gonna design my next game strictly based on a name I thought of with no context. Ask me about more wise gamedev stategies

Doing the gastronomical calculus on which airport food is gonna give me the least heinous farts on this transatlantic flight (Garlic Bowl vs Fried Stuff)

For folks that have underdesk treadmills .... can you actually *code* while walking?

Hell yeah brother, godspeed

Bring back the game splash screen that yells the name of the game at you

It’s been 24 years since my last GDC. I recollect attending an AI roundtable which was just that, a big table with like 15 devs talking about game AI. Now there’s a room of hundreds of people attending a talk on one very specific subtopic in game AI. Wild.

Cool cool Alaska cancelling my flight to GDC an hour before boarding.

Spit take: 50% of solo indie hits are the-game-they-made-during-a-break-from-the-other-game ?

Ballionaire(s)

Ayyy Ballionaire nominated for a Digy: "Most Replayable"! Thank you!!! digyawards.com/award-catego...

My first sighting of a game on Steam self-describing by comparing itself to Ballionaire 😭, and it's not even a plinko game. Honestly that feels amazing.

Boring stuff, but it works so I'm happy to share it. Want to know more and stay updated on Nice To Yeet You? 👉 discord.gg/qrhxd5BcBd ...and maybe, wishlist the game! store.steampowered.com/app/3108230?... #nicetoyeetyou #multiplayer #indiedev #gamedev #brawler

We are incredibly excited to finally announce Knights in Tight Spaces is OUT! We’d like to thank everyone who has taken the time to try the demo, leave your feedback and spread the word of our beloved (spiritual sequel) game that is Knights in Tight Spaces store.steampowered.com/app/2315400/...

TIL Starflight was written in Forth. Huh.

Warner Bros' closure of Monolith Productions is dreadfuly sad. This is an under-appreciated studio that has made banger after banger, and pushed the industry forward. Here's a quick video on Why Monolith Mattered youtu.be/qywq_1GVIGI

Well, along with my good news, comes this bad news. Monolith was my start in the game industry, and a formative time for me, both personally and professionally, full of good times, great people, hard work, and outstanding results. For any company to have survived this long is absolutely wild. RIP 💔

Been Very Offline lately, but feel like it's worth a post about Ballionaire selling 200k units in the first ~10 weeks since launch! Thank you to everyone who has played the game. I'm still blown away by the response.🧡 store.steampowered.com/news/app/266...

You can now play a demo of "Wheel World" on steam! store.steampowered.com/app/3483160/... #SteamNextFest

Been trying to buy an OP-1 on craigslist and the experience has been interesting to say the least. This has happened multiple times now: First, the person makes the listing for Seattle. The price is "really good" but still plausible.

Wow, I'm honored for Ballionaire to be included in this last, thank you!!!

A "good" hacking game has been a long-standing white whale for me. NET.CRAWL is the first game I've played in a really long time that actually solidly interweaves theme + mechanics to make something that feels like hacking. It's not Netrunner, but it feels like this framework has a lot of potential!

Ballionaire has mod support now in its experimental branch. If you're interested in building custom content for Ballionaire, head over to the discord (discord.gg/kC7YuBDyfj) and join the #modding-chat channel! (Ballionaire mod github repo has docs/examples: github.com/Ballionaire/...)
