My masters thesis was on pedestrian deaths in car crashes, focusing on sound since at the time there was strong debate that electric cars needed to be audible for blind people like myself. There was absolutely no statistical significance in pedestrian safety- it was 100% on the car driver.
In 2024, 7,100 pedestrians were killed on the road, and in recent years, more than 1,000 cyclists have been hit and killed annually. Safety experts explain how bikers and walkers can stay safe.

So what do you think about level editors in puzzle games? Is that something you want or would use? Is there a game that you enjoyed more because of the level editor or community levels?

Yeah, we are very much in the Kei range with our games 😅
Interesting to see in the article: even though the number of kei games increases rapidly, their total market share stays at about 25% of games sold. No wonder it's getting more and more difficult to sell small games...

I love this analytical take on video game categorization from Antoine Mayerowitz and Julie Belzanne:
hushcrasher.substack.com/p/taxonomy-o...
Instead of trying to vibe-intuit the definition of an "indie" game, the authors analyzed the data from the perspective of game size and credits length

Same here 😅 Especially if you already have a vision in mind for some part of the game it is so tempting to start there to see the vision come to life...
But in prototyping you have to focus on the parts that you are _the_least_ certain about to see whether you can make them work!

When developing our game TRAILS, a lot of time was spent on improvements and polish, but the crucial first step was a prototype that was created in less than a week!

Help itch.io continue to do good - go tell the relevant payment processors that we don't want payment processors imposing some puritanism on games. This has to be a line we hold as a medium - sex, sexuality, and sexual identity always get attacked first: everything else will come next.

It's supposedly about porn and abuse at the moment, but "adult content" will include any form of queerness soon enough!

With update 1.3 of TRAILS you are able to customize the ships' colors to make them stand out best for your individual needs.

Guide your sand ships safely through the desert in these line-drawing puzzles (Trails)
From the developers of Chronescher, a new line-drawing puzzle game about guiding sand ships through a Dune-like sci-fi world. The twist in Trails is that your sand ships all move simultaneously, so you have to find paths that allow them to complete their objectives without colliding into each other.
