I don't want to make it all about me. So instead of telling you my game of the year I'm going to tell you YOUR game of the year, which was Donkey Ball. I'd like to say I was surprised, but...

Donkey Ball on Steam
A high-velocity, “Nanaca-like” where getting hit is the whole point. Launch the Donkey, Avoid obstacles, collect items and coins, perform game changing combos, and try to go as far as you can!

I'm so stuffed after all that Christmas food. But I can't resist these little pick me ups as a treat.

I struggle to have a lucid conversation after doing a single press-up, the way the World's Strongest Mans can do it after deadlifting an actual ton is probably the most impressive thing they do!

Pro tip for owners of under floor heating: putting gifts of chocolate under the Christmas Tree is a bad idea... Every year.

Max props to @connieku.bsky.social for still blasting out such quality content this late in the year.
This is THE optimal way to promote festive Steam deals for your game, right?

GAME DEVS. I got tired of mind maps spaghetti, so I built a game design tool that lets me see exactly what I need to see. It lets you scrub dependency depth: see only direct connections, or expand the chain when you need it.

This is for people who design games, let me know what you think 👀

Any lawyers up? I'm at a party and the local dentist has just been around with a tray of delicious chocolate brownies. Is this entrapment?

Lots of people saying, "Jason Momma's Lobo" without considering how much swooning that might cause!

This both looks good and is a good idea. Good.
Welcome to Halcyon Dynamics! In your new role you'll be expected to process digits efficiently and build a small well-motivated team. Don't overthink it; they're definitely just digits. A narrative-driven incremental management sim. store.steampowered.com/app/4218750?...

Scottish friends! I'm looking for a voice actor (roughly 30-40 years old, female) for an unannounced game✨

You definitely don't need to be an established actor, but you must be UK based with your own recording equipment.

This is a paid role, DM for brief! #voiceacting

Me, not really knowing what an Extraction Shooter is: what's with all these games about killing dentists?!

It's odd that this story doesn't mention the fact that the game - at one stage - was being backed/published by Microprose, who did a big splashy reveal at Summer Games Fest with it.

Perfection
I made a tiny game for PicoSteveMo with @dicey.bsky.social !

➡️ It's called King Stephen
➡️ You play as King Stephen (King of England 1135-1154)
➡️ It's a Reigns-like decision-making game
➡️ I did the writing + portraits
➡️ Made for a Stephen King game jam
➡️ It's very silly

I don't have ready access to Yes Madam so I'm watching Madame Web instead which is basically the same thing
Think I'm gonna rewatch Yes Madam tonight, classic Hong Kong action comedy directed by Corey Yuen starring Michelle Yeoh and Cynthia Rothrock

That's already a fabulous package. Jingle Jam really is good if you like games or charity (or BOTH if you're some kind of weirdo)
Because you've been so good, we're letting you open a few of your presents early this year.

Core Keeper, Dungeons of Hinterberg, Tactical Breach Wizards and an exclusive Jingle Jam edition of Train Sim World 6 are your first four games in the 2025 Jingle Jam Games Collection!

ALAN's made a sales blunder again!

Really he promote this during the summer when the temperature is high, not in the winter when the temperature is cold.

But his loss is your gain, as you can get one of the nicest and bestest games ever well-cheap.

Fights in Tight Spaces started out as an Only Fools and Horses game
Heaven's Vault started out as a Doctor Who game
jokes aside as popeye enters public domain a reminder we got mario and donkey kong because nintendo couldn't use popeye and bluto, like star wars happened because lucas was denied making a flash gordon movie

let corpos denying you recycling their stuff drive you to do better new stuff that's yours
