Just when you thought there couldn't possibly be any more balatro inspired rogue-lites... I went ahead and made another one with dice scoring mechanics.

A crazy dice-building, yahtzee-scoring, rogue-lite where you'll need both luck and strategy to win.

I hate the term "mid" because it adds an extra negative connotation to the term "average" and signals a cultural shift to an era where creating average art/work is not good enough anymore and therefore propagating a cycle of perfection paralysis that would-be artists find themselves in. Just create.

work in progress for my #14drl entry. adjacent tile bitmasks have been super helpful in finding valid tile+door placements, how have i never used them before??

#14drl is approaching. i'm not going to have time for a large project, so instead i will create a simple and traditional RL with a major focus on adding more re-usable features and "juice" to my engine. major inspiration from the incredible vid by @vulgat.bsky.social

any tips or suggestions for auto-tagging 10s of thousands of sound samples? I'm interested in tools that will perform instrument tagging (kick, snare, hat, etc.) and mood/genre. I run #bitwig #daw on #ubuntu if that matters.

whooa nearly 10k jam submissions for #gmtk2025 this year. my friend RETROWILL made a fun precision platformer called 'oplo', and I helped out with music 🎶 i've been learning so much about #bitwig and DAWs in general. #gmtk #indiedev

home ownership is basically just one long sisyphean struggle against mother nature as she tries to consume your yard and house.

when you play #guncho for the first time with volume and realize he's not actually weeping and mourning for all those poor souls he slaughtered each level, but really just whistling for his horse.

thinking about SiSSYFiGHT 2000. it was an early internet turn-based multi-player game played on the browser that involved social strategy. i've never played another game that was quite like it, and i would love to see some sort of spiritual successor.
