Almost all writing advice is bullshit — if it doesn’t help you, ignore it. If a piece of advice lights your fire, lean in. There are no rules.

Anyone asserting that writing must be a certain way is an amateur.

Went out on bad tires in the rain, and having established that yeah these tires are bad in the rain, did not immediately come back in. Aquaplaned at 80mph into a wall.
A very dead Caterham Seven race car, viewed from the front. The body was white, with a cyan rollcage and accents. The entire front of the car is now a mangled mess - the front wheels are barely attached, and point in random directions. The radiator sticks through what is left of the nose cone. However, all the safety equipment worked great, and I walked away without even a bruise.

I thought UE had the worst concept for coordinate systems but I see it’s far saner than most. Only Unity and UE are sane

For the first time ever, The Axis Unseen is 50% off on Steam! 🔥

It's a perfect game for Halloween, you hunt monsters from folklore and it has a heavy metal soundtrack🎃🤘

I'm working on my next game which is more of a 1980s horror game and buying this helps me do that!

A hover fly is a bee mimic. Here is one on a Gloriosa Daisy that has a few petals missing, showing the green fringed leaves underneath.

Beat Killer Frequency this week. Super cool game. You play as a radio DJ who is helping people out as a serial killer rampages around town. Very clever design and just the right length.

What are some other good horror games you've played recently?
