making #emuurom, a cryptic nonviolent exploration game ("metroidbrainia", i guess) with #tic80, a fantasy console best suited for far smaller games than this.

Cryptic nonviolent exploration like in ANIMAL WELL...
with a scanner like in METROID PRIME...

And yet, this game is like no other.

EMUUROM - Document an ancient paradise before it's lost forever.
very soon!!
You ready for ThinkyCon? 👀

I'll be speaking there on Friday 22:30 UTC, with a talk straight from inside the TIC-80 fantasy console!

I've always heard: "video games hate to be made"

the funny thing is, i CAN'T add achievements. i MIGHT, but it's just not possible with tic-80 :D
for the record: I develop games for people who play games to have fun

I'm givin a lil talk at "ThinkyCon 2025" tommorow at 5 PM EST!

about Trail Mix and Life in Captivity, and how there's no undo/rewind in either of them and how that effects the design and response to each game. Tune in! Doing it live so who knows what could happen! Very Nervous!

so @matteowong.bsky.social & I wrote on data centers: arguably the most important buildings in the world & are, in a way, holding the economy hostage. Byzantine financial instruments, private equity, depreciating tech, hype, $trillion valuations. it’s all there. an ai crash prob starts here.

i refactored the whole save format \o/

it's now easier to read, edit and extend, and i should have done this in 2021.

most importantly it will not break if i add one new entity to the map after release.
fuck it i'm refactoring the whole save format

genuinely heartened by the audience response. more and more the mainstream understanding of AI is "that annoying bullshit we hate"

If you're using Windows 11, Microsoft is now surveilling you in a new way. This may already be turned on on your computer, and you would not be notified; it activates whenever they detect you are in a "game", which in my experience Microsoft often false-positives on

"The game includes a note telling the player that once they unraveled the game's complex plot, they are to write a report and summarize all of the evidence and send it to Cosmi. In turn, the company would respond to the player. "

Playing bad games doesn't ruin your credibility, it actually makes you learn about what you like. You start noticing effort, weird ideas, stuff that polished games smooth over.
Play more broken, weird, and ambitious trash; it’s good for your taste and good for your brain.
