There, I've done everything needed for LISA: The Downcast, now it's done to co-creator FrozenSunset to do some final balancings and then it's off to friends for final testing 🙌

#LISADowncast demo update: I've done another play through (even skipping fights and not doing everything it took 4 hours), aside from spme stuff to fix, it's really close to being ready for internal testing, and then release 🙌

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

Phew, back from family talking about guitars and bands and past events too loudly that I've got no point of reference for for like 6 hours, just glad to be home to my 3rd party replacement SteamDock (original is kinda bad) and a light-up cube 🎄

One of my main presents was a cool looking light but now I have it, it says it's AI powered and the Amazon page is all about how cool it is for using AI to work so I guess it's getting returned without being opened, there goes one of the only things I got this year, bloody AI ruining everything 💭

Marty Creambus to all - hope everyone has a nice day without too much stress, wishing you all all the best 🙏💜✨

Officially announcing mine and FrozenSunset's #LISAThePainful #Fangame - LISA: The Downcast!
We're very close to the (quite long) demo being ready and we're aiming for sometime in January so I decided to make the pages public! 🙌

Hey folks, I'm gonna start a new recommendation thread, and because I very recently did a huge thread of 50 indie game recommendations, it might be a little shorter, and I'll be aiming for NO OVERLAPS! Are you ready?

1. Look Outside

I'll be brief. Just play this immediately, trust me.

"but we have to use this technology or our shareholders-"
"but if we don't make games faster then-"
"but if our company doesn't exist then hundreds of jobs will be-"

maybe the companies that will survive will be the ones who actually still make art

because they'll stand out in a sea of slop

Just deactivated my twitter account that I had for 10 years... not used it for almost a year but pulling the trigger For Real feels different, it's crazy how much One Bastard can ruin so much of a place when the system allows them to do anything they want, (and twitter as well of course) 🙏

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead.

I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.
