Hi there bluesky, we are Arcane Ermine and this is our first game: Obstacle Overdrive, a cozy off-roading car game! We'll have more to share about it over the coming weeks, but for now, we hope you like this tumbly first impression
First look at the game I've been working on!

Let's talk a little about what Obstacle Overdrive is and isn't, and remind you that it's wishlistable on Steam

Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped).
It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it.
Make sure you have these disabled.

I'm excited to announce this new study, published in The Lancet Planetary Health, which explores public support for degrowth and ecosocialist transformation. The findings are quite surprising.

Unlocking new vehicles isn't just about the cosmetics, each one performs differently, so you'll want to collect them all to explore everything!

I cannot stop laughing. This is so indicative of what's wrong with these AI people and how they view art
He ran into a wall where the "make art" button wasn't satisfying because it wasn't actually making good enough art, and instead of trying new things he just requests a stronger button

Back at GDC earlier this year we had an artbook out for people to look through, so I'll be sharing pages from it here and there since not everyone can be at GDC to see things like this

In our game you don't always want to send it at 100% speed, sometimes it's better to take things slow to make it over obstacles, so here's how the throttle limiter affects your driving

I want to take a break from talking about our game, and instead would love to know what games are out there that you think we would enjoy that have a similar vibe to our game?

We're so thrilled to be able to announce that Cassette Beasts has sold over *1.1 MILLION units*!
We started out as a tiny team hoping we might be lucky enough to sell even a fraction of that - for every share, review, or positive comment, we really can't thank all of you enough. 💜

As a dyslexic it’s very distressing to see people conflate the ability to write a email with intelligence. Plenty of stupid people have perfect diction and we have to read what they say every day on sites like this.

Glad to see Polygon cover the resistance of game developers to generative AI--and to be able to speak briefly to one of the greatest dangers of this entire thing.
Gen AI doubles down on making MORE SPACE for production issues that *already make games worse.*

And now we know why the shutdown is ending.
The Federal Aviation Administration will limit business jets and other private flights to some of the country’s largest airports to ease strains on air-traffic personnel.
FAA Limits Private Aircraft Flights at Major Airports
The restrictions will affect private jet flights at a dozen airports, including Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, Denver, and Chicago’s O’Hare, according to the National Business Aviation Association trade group.
