My strategy game, MORSE released this week!

MORSE teaches you Morse Code through timing, tactics and telegraphy. Learn a secret language, build your own telegraph and jump head first down the rabbit hole of ham radio. 🔥⚓️⚫️➖

Working on portal inspired Light bridges. Classic, but the space folding mechanic makes them interesting.

Some other angles. The lighting has been in all sorts of different states so it's kind of between looks atm. Been bouncing around colours trying to echo the look of 70s pulp sci-fi and films like Outland. But I feel I ended up drifting too far away from brutalism.

You wanted to play a video game and just got transformed into a dog! Rhythm Doggo is a classic platform adventure where you play as a dog and make music on the way. Can you go back to your human form?

Another solve. If you've noticed from Outpour's trailer, the gargoyle can pull blocks from afar. I've been reworking how pulling behaves, and its appearance.

This album changed my life when I first heard it. Incredible stuff. Rest in peace.

Today I learned about Gerhard Munthe, who, in the early 20th century, designed some extremely Atari-looking tapestries with titles like "Blood Tower"

Someone made a video that shouts out my 2017 TF2 map mvm_steep. Neat!

Palette-swapped an already artpassed level and I don't hate how it looks? Definitely needs some tweaking. Makes me want to go back and add more harsh contrast like this to older levels.

I am genuinely pissed off. My friend @entropy-tempus.bsky.social has received and absolutely ridiculous amount of hate for her map Demolition. And now the chud brigade has gotten her kicked off YouTube. I've already had a low opinion of the general TF2 community, but this is a new low.

This is a really good game. Surprising amount of depth packed into about 90 mins of gameplay.

It wasn’t always this way, felt like we made some decent progress here until many developers started getting too much abuse online to want to bother putting themselves out there at all.
journalists can only do so much to convince readers that games are made by people, at some point companies need to let their talent talk about the industry they’re in, to communicate as if they are not in a vacuum where the only game that exists is the one in front of them
