I worked on this game about frogs who fish, vibe, and fall over. Inspired by Webfishing, REPO, and maybe emotional damage.
It's called Swamp Fellas. Would love to hear your ideas as to what to add!

I can't browse social media anymore. I've gotten less and less tolerant over past two years. I escaped Xhitter cause it was just a cesspool of negativity, but it's become like this everywhere. Most of it is warranted, as a pushback against unethical things. But I'm tired of seeing only negativity :(

Made an update to the untitled game design tool made with tldraw:
1. Select nodes up the stream
2. Select nodes up to branched nodes
3. Color the output arrows mode

I’d rather "bleed for art" than remove doubt from the process. It's the only human thing left that we can do. I want to doubt, commit to decisions I'm unsure about, antfuck things that I want to be better. There's no higher purpose or meaning than to do what you love with your own hands and thought.

Finished last marathon's playtest match and I'm itching for more. GODDAMN this game is good. I think it's probably one of the most accessible Extraction Shooters out there in terms of immersion. Tarkov is great but you literally have to have a second screen dogfooding you all info. Streamlined here.

GAME DEVS. I got tired of mind maps spaghetti, so I built a game design tool that lets me see exactly what I need to see. It lets you scrub dependency depth: see only direct connections, or expand the chain when you need it.
This is for people who design games, let me know what you think 👀

WAIT WHAT people are calling that horse shooter from the video game awards a CONCOROD 2??? FASCINATING.
Basically a level of hype smashed up against what could be the most generic looking shooter ever gives you a negative rep? Damn that's crazy dynamic tbh. I knew it looked off but not this off?!

Played Marathon yesterday, 3 rounds of it... Can't say much cause of NDA but I'M IN LOVE!
Yes, I'd pay $30 for it.
It's polished and get's my itch going for "okay one more round." BUT, the GUI design... GODDAMN MOST SEXY GUI I EVER SEEN.
GRAPHIC DESIGN PORN!!
But some thoughts below:

That divinity trailer was way too graphic / disgusting and tbh wasn't even that good. The Diablo expansion was hitting that "disgusting but cool as shit" and divinity trailer was just disgusting, way too much, and didn't tell an interesting story. Idk just feels like a weird choice to do it that way

Finally playing Hell is Us, and damn I love this game. Reminds me of Dragon Age: Origins in tone and Veilguard in Combat (but more thoughtful I feel like, I enjoy combat in HIU way more) and Inquisition in Environment Art and Death Stranding in Vibe. Superb game. Weird that it is overlooked?! HOW?!

I just realized, if I upgrade to iphone 17, I get the new shitty OS... So I guess I'm staying on 16 for a while now =\ I was this close to getting OnePlus 16, but they had to not include a good camera.

Wonder if Black Ops 7 is so bad because I remember COD having such a bad rep after BO 3-4 going ridiculous ways with Advanced Warfare and Infinite Warfare etc, so they are just repeating the cycle to create hype on a "Return to Form" angle of having a hyper realistic and brutal campaign once again.

Was asked if I heard the phrase “Don’t sell the steak, sell the sizzle.” Got me thinking about what really makes our game tick, what’s the feeling we’re actually selling.
I started listing gameplay features, but none of it landed 1/2

HUH wonder why, is it maybe because they stopped working on the IP and ended the game with no more expansions? Couldn't be that, right? Riiight? lol
