Cops & Robbers #slycooper #thebadguys #zootopia #robinhood
Diane Foxington, Judy Hopps, Carmelita Fox, and Maid Marian all enter a room. Judy and Carmelita are leading the group, looking out for a wanted suspect. On the platform above them, Robin Hood, Nick Wilde, Sly Cooper, and Mr. Wolf are backed up against the wall, hiding from them. Diane and Marian look up at Wolf and Robin respectively with a knowing smirk. Sly snatches Nick's badge off of him, holding him against the wall with his cane.

To shake the stuck feeling and connect with both my games & here more, I'mma borrow a thread I've seen a few times:

🎮 GAMES COMPLETED IN 2026 🏆🧵

I tend to "save" games for recording or an occasion, and they just need playing, dammit! If you've played these too, lemme know your thoughts, yis? 🙂

The sense of wonder that this title screen still holds for me. 💜 Gateway to my first fully polygonal three-dimensional environments, all waiting to be explored.

Some vile discourse has surfaced again—even overhead some at work today—so I'mma repeat this:

🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQIA+ rights are human rights.
🏳️‍⚧️ Trans men are men, trans women are women.
🗨️ The mere mention of someone being LGBTQIA+, in fiction or life, is not an "agenda" or "shoving it in your face".

Kthxbye.

I am begging games writers in 2026 to stop talking about point and click like it's a dead/dormant genre currently being resurrected by whatever thing you've just noticed

🌄 This #Ps2sday morning, we've been craving the Stealth action gaming franshise Sly Cooper, specifically 'Sly 2: Band of Thieves' which is our favourite entry in the series.

We feel the games hold up and are definitely worth playing today,

Do you agree with us?

Picked up #DynastyWarriorsOrigins as an Xmas treat.
Been a DW fan for over 20 years, & tbh, one playable lead & only going up to Chibi didn't thrill me. DW's DNA is huge rosters & epic timelines. But this is AWESOME!! 😍
Story progression, weapons, battles, the lot.
DW9 crashed so Origins could fly ❤️

here’s the full spew
Daniel Vávra This Al hysteria is the same as when people were smashing steam engines in the 19th century. @LarAtLarian said they were doing something that absolutely everyone else is doing and got an insanely crazy shitstorm. I've even seen someone accuse us of using Al in KCD2. I don't know anything about it, except that I used Topaz Labs to upscale some of the Al elements from KCD1 and some of the old low res textures. I'm no fan of Al generated art, but anyway, it's time to face reality. Al is here to stay with us. As frightening as it may be, that's the way it is. Personally, it scares me the most in the music because you can't even recognise Al there anymore. On the other hand, you know what I hate most about making games? The fact that it takes 7 years and 300 people and tens of millions of dollars to make. And the fact that Tom had to spend 500 hours in the studio recording completely generic heckling and generic bars. If Al can help me make an epic game in a year with a smaller team like in the old days, I'm all for it. That game will still have an art director, writers, programmers, graphic designers, but they won't have to do the tiresome and boring tasks, they'll have to focus on the essentials. I have ideas for lots of games, but I'm fifty years old and so far it's taken me seven years on average to make one game. If Al helps me realize those ideas faster, I'm all for it.

We are so beyond honoured that Rift was recognized for its music for the @indiegameawards.gg

Thank you to all our incredible composers.

Rift of the NecroDancer doesn’t just feature music – it IS the music. ❤️

I feel like every scene I draw for Gilt is a real struggle and I am never satisfied, but then I put the character sprites over my WIPs and seeing them hanging out in that world makes me happy.
A colourful alien world features a cracked moon in a cloudy sky, which leads down to a valley where an old bearded man, a pilgrim with a pack and bedroll on his back and a small, stout lizard fellow are hanging out together near large glowing fungi, a raggedy tent, and a small cooking pot over a fire.
