I uploaded a video of myself playing crusty old modded Minecraft to the internet for whatever reason. That's the kind of thing people usually shill on their socials, right?

An interesting thing about Silksong is the way that it combines elements of the classic Metroid and Castlevania games. Could this be the start of a new genre?

How does ROLLBACK NETCODE work, why is it so difficult to program, and why is it the gold standard for fighting games? A whirlwind tour of different solutions #pixelart #gamedev #AnimationVERSUS

The setup: you have a video game with couch co-op and want to add online multiplayer. Easy, right...?

I've found myself engaged with all that "plane on a conveyor belt" stuff after that last Mark Rober video and anyone arguing that the conveyor belt "always matches the speed of the wheels" don't understand that if a physics question has a constraint which is impossible the question is just invalid.

After a good while's work off and on getting this all together, I've got my website looking better than it ever has thanks to some new tools and a fresh focus on making something that works first. Many thanks to the "mother$!$!ing website" genre for the help.

A theme I've been hearing recently, talking to people who worked on games that took 6+ years to make, is that they always made calls thinking they had much less time. Then the game kept slipping, but they were still stuck with those old calls. So six years of development is never *really* six years

I've informed Blanche that she's been described as both pleasant and patient, and she's honored. Now she's even more excited to teach everyone some card games.

Thanks for visiting Carte Blanche, @thegamellama.bsky.social!
Another game out on Tuesday! What a time to be alive, at the same moment as Playdate Unofficial. Carte Blanche is about a raven that teaches you card games, and it is PLEASANT. I get a little remember-y when I talk about it. www.playdateunofficial.com/the-games/carte-blanche

It’s almost time! Carte Blanche will be arriving on a @play.date near you very soon.

Get ready for card games, a friendly bird, and a shiny marble she found on a playground and is excited to share with you. (It’s not really that shiny, but let her have this.) #indieDev
