Obviously, this is amazing BUT the thing I love most, is that it's directly poking fun at the desire/fetish to overanimate overlapping action & smears.
Asking someone of James Baxter's calibre to *intentionally* do this (as well as mess up the spacing on a bounce) is funny in the nerdiest way.

I've been working on a game pitch and story dear to me, "ENGINE ANGEL", with the team at Ivy Road!
We're still seeking funding, but in the meantime I wanted everyone to still be able to share the work they've done. I'll be sharing more as well as reposting any of the team's posts so stay tuned!

I keep coming back to these tarot inspired mechs because I had so much fun designing them and thinking about the world they are from.
I think I'm going to try and make a game about them. That way I can have my friends pilot their own make-believe-cool-robot assigned by fate.

Were classical statues painted horribly?

Adam Saltsman and the folks at Finji are coming in clutch here at the end of the year with a collection of PICO-8 minigames. It’s basically 2025’s UFO 50, minus 30-ish games, and it's really good. Hell, at least play "Dino Sort" - it alone lowkey might be GOTY.

For our Playdate game based on Firewatch, we wanted some collectible Forrest Byrnes posters with a creepy and threatening 60s-70s Smokey Bear aura. Scaring kids into not starting fires.
So I made these.
