Did you know: if you buy the Montgomery Bonbon books as a Christmas present, it's like a double present because I, Alasdair Beckett-King, also get some money? Wow, what a magical time of year!

My favourite weird thing we do to make stuff look right is we streeeeetch all our characters and make them taller to counteract the camera angle - that way they can stand up 90° to the ground plane and look correct on our orphographic camera without having to be tilted. essnetally squews em

The recent commotion around Tylenol and autism reminded me how many neurotypicals are so uninformed about neurodivergence they think neurodivergent conditions (autism, ADHD, OCD etc) are some sort of plague that you can catch if you’re not careful enough.

For the last year I've had the privilege of working with the Kennesaw State University (@kennesawstate.bsky.social) Game Studio, and now our first student-developed game is finally ready for release on Steam. Presenting Chiba, probably the cutest Sokoban-style game on the market!

My go-to April Fool's office prank makes me feel so ancient but here it is for any of you living in last century
1. Put a paperclip on the photocopy machine glass
2. Make lots of copies
3. Copies now have 1 paperclip printed on them
4. Feed those puppies back in to the fresh paper slot
5. Run

Another absolute banger response from MaRo. Worth reading in full, but here’s a taste:
“You’re used to being over-represented, so being a little less over-represented feels like something has been taken from you. But really it hasn’t.”

I was not the first person to do it, but I reverse engineered the Pokémon Gen 1 trading protocol some time ago
I reminisce about this project often, so I thought I'd make a thread about how it works!

In case you missed this yesterday - this project is incredibly important and dear to me. The developer, @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social, is potentially in danger for insisting on making this game, but he refuses to back down because backing down would mean not telling this story.
I want to make a personal appeal for the beautiful new game of Palestinian gamedev @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social. As nobody will fund a game about the 1948 Nakba, Rasheed is crowdfunding via launchgood.com/1948. I've been doing production advice on the game pro bono, and it deserves to exist.
