For me, the worst part of hearing someone died of natural causes will always be that it's never Mitch McConnell.

My #CorgiJam entry is a short sokoban/sliding puzzle game about a dog marking his territory. It's my first #pico8 game! Playable in browser and on mobile, too.
Thanks for hosting the jam! @adamatomic.bsky.social @finjico.bsky.social

All I can say is that if you are a video game enjoyer, or like to think about game design, or like to consume good writing, you should wishlist this game. Congrats @apthomson.bsky.social on the announcement and nominations!

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

Horses by @santaragione.com is Italian arthouse excellence. Only playable on Itch, GOG and Humble right now.

It's not uncommon to buy games you really love on multiple platforms so I guess it's time for me to buy HORSES on three platforms 😎πŸ₯•
Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

Here's a fun Friday afternoon article from me! About the chilling effect of censorship in games, the ethical obligations of being a poweful entity in the medium, and how we respond when video games' freedom of expression - from so many directions - is under siege.

However you frame it, Valve's ham-fisted ban of an indie darling is another blow for free expression in video games, and this will always be a tragedy
Free expression in video games is in the spotlight, and Valve's banning of Horses might be only one instance of many that put that expression at risk.

Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

Speaking of art that should be celebrated, punchdrunk's production, 'Viola's Room', is an excellent exploration of narrative design, that's been on my mind for weeks. They use a variety of sensory stimuli to tell a concise, refined, and thrilling story! www.punchdrunk.com/work/violas-...

I went to NYC a few weeks ago to go to this, and I don't know how to convey just how incredible it really is - a true embracing and inspiring celebration of art. The greatest tragedy would be a world where we lost funding and support of the arts, where we would never receive gifts like this again.
Review: β€œThe Phantom of the Opera” stage musical closed in 2023 after nearly 14,000 performances over the course of 35 years. But the masked menace had not disappeared for long.

The megamusical has been distilled and reshaped into β€œMasquerade.”
Review | The β€˜Phantom’ reboot is an erotic fever dream. Here’s what to know.
β€˜Masquerade’ takes a β€˜Sleep No More’ approach to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s gothic romance.
