Let me just say that Valve really knows their audience by picking these two as poster children for the Steam Machine:

sometimes I wish keyboards produced a lot of heat, so I could lay down my head on one when I'm tired and feel warm

The search ended in Pluto’s guts,
Where they followed and met him,
the final mood.
No more aging. No more desire.
Only the forbidden fruit’s eternal flame.

We may be a bit late to do this, considering the game came out some 5 or so months ago - but Rebuilding Triunfo has an actual trailer now.

Why now? Aside from "we didn't think of it before", it's because its director, @valcher.bsky.social, is in a pickle right now. More on that in the replies.

Just finished Metal Garden by @aleksandraht.bsky.social and it's a lovely little game. Some of it's vistas have given me maybe my favorite megastructure visuals in any game that I've played? It's like Halo, but a little more human, and a little more somber. Which is very much my jam.

obsessed.

like, the vibe is immaculate. I love how conservative the actual assets and geometry are yet sooo immersive. This is like the golden standard. I only wish there was more lore, because I love that kind of thing, but you barely need it. scifi brutalist platforming Shadow of the Colossus

No. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive.

Genuinely one of my all time favorites. A gorgeous meditation on memory, migration and the spaces that shape our imaginations and our lives. Happy birthday Promesa! 🥳
Today Promesa is 5 years old!

Don't have much to say, other than I'm proud of my little boy, and I have the itch to do some more of these.

Sulay Rally Raid, our new 1-to-2 player journaling game is OUT NOW - and it's pay-what-you-want, OST included.

We've also made a trailer for it, which might be a bit much -but hey, now you get to hear @mac.buried.gay deliver a silky-smooth mission briefing.

still looking for level design work; i'm available starting October!

i can work in unreal, unity, and probably whatever in-house engine you'll throw at me. i've worked on DLC for Sniper Elite 5, various community modding projects, and custom maps for TF2 and Half-Life 2.
