Great precision platformer with an interconnected world. Gameplay is very simple (only one button outside of D-pad), the game relatively short, but the level-design and game-design are perfect. It's challenging but fair and never frustrating. A true hidden gem!
9/10!

I hope everyone has good year end holidays. As we go into a shaky period with the arts in flux and a lot of people are suffering, please never forget the power of your mind, and the joy of engaging in meaningful process. Every day you have the most powerful machine in existence inside your own head.

What's the fancy game design term for the thing where one or more characters yap in your ear over comms constantly for the entire game? For some games it works well? But for others it feels like a really flimsy bandaid over a problem or actively ruins an otherwise interesting environment for me =[

I know I posted this cleaned image before but I just re-cleaned it from my own scans. More editing than it looks. Anyway, worth it, because it's incredibly epic. #Zelda Link to the Past, Junichiro Saito, Shogaku Ichinensei Magazine, Sept. 1992

I've been working on a game pitch and story dear to me, "ENGINE ANGEL", with the team at Ivy Road!
We're still seeking funding, but in the meantime I wanted everyone to still be able to share the work they've done. I'll be sharing more as well as reposting any of the team's posts so stay tuned!

From tonight's stream: cliffs, rocks, bouders, stairs and some more!
Tomorrow night, 9:30PM CEST I will be spriting Mega Froslass, then probably start making some more houses, then begin working on a beach for this GBC World Starting Town!

I'm not sure what to call it but: My time writing gameplay code has been much more efficiently spent since I changed my mindset from "let's make that a helper function and call it in 50 places" to "let's do this operation in ONE place as part of a flat pipeline"

I keep toying with the idea of streaming Wizwag game dev, but I'm not sure how best to handle it: I work best when I'm not juggling my attention, and I also don't want to spoil everything about the game. Maybe I can bucket some tasks that aren't spoiler-y and require less focus...

My humble birthday girl requests: play Angeline Era, tell a friend, blog about it, or write a review!!
In addition to art, did you know I was story lead? Angeline Era embodies so much of what I've chased over the past few years, from wildflowers to parties to Apocrypha to ancestry.

every mandate for internet surveillance and censorship will work exactly like this
Bluesky now requires age-verification in Mississippi, even though X does not.
So Mississippians can still access X anonymously, but htey have to submit paperwork to read Bluesky. Guess which site doesn't think they'll get prosecuted in Mississippi.
Asymmetrical enforcement threats are censorship.

Bluesky Is Back for Mississippi Adults, But Social Giants Still Lack Required Age Checks
Months after Bluesky blocked access to Mississippi, Bluesky is available in the state once again with age verification for adults.

I featured the demo for Angeline Era in a video about 1.5 years ago (it had the 1 fish, 2 fish... 32 fish boss), but the full game just released and I'm really enjoying it so far. Rare that I play a game as delightfully playful and tightly designed as this.
