We're launching a website.

Jank is an independent PC games website funded by readers.

jank.cool

If you like funny, thoughtful games journalism and can't stand adverts, deals posts, affiliate links, and other nonsense - Jank is for you.

This is what you all meant when you said you wanted a cute mouse game, right? 🐭 #MinaTheHollower

Hooded Horse's Tim Bender, about abusive publisher contracts:
Many games "had a fine launch, but it wasn't good enough to overcome some giant recoup term where the publisher was taking all their money back first."
Also: "AI is cancerous."
I like this guy.

Some of my early visual development of the lighthouse from Keeper.

In a world of AI slop shortcuts in gaming, I am reminded that for The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa, the developer's 60 year old father learned pixelart in MSPaint to help make the game

If it matters enough to you, you can always learn too, even at 60

Nice news article about EARTH MUST DIE's imminent release (only 10 days now!) and how a strong VA cast can give a game a bump these days. (Although of course the writer is interested in it regardless thanks to Size Five's pedigree, because he is a very smart person!)

Four exhibits being enjoyed at @retrocollective.co.uk today

The intro from "Another World" still manages to impress decades later, which is why I feel like it's nearly impossible to describe emotions one felt upon encountering it 35 years ago for the first time.

"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

Gracias Cade por compartir #TheSupper y #TheSuperNewBlood con tu comunidad❤️

so after being bedridden for 16months due to a hernia, I've finally got my surgery!
now I'm bedridden for recovery, fun!

I'm still about 1300$ away from paying all my storage bills, so if you've got a couple dollars, it'd help me get through this last stretch. Thanks so much!
