an absurd and destructive move from valve towards one of the most exciting studios out there
Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

The great paradox of Bluesky is that the presence of Jesse Sıngal on here is a true negative, but also the best way to improve your experience here is to subscribe to the "Jesse Signal Followers Blocklist" bsky.app/profile/did:... , and if bluesky banned him that would no longer be a useful signal

What frightens me is when they say "X could be replaced by AI" they don't mean "AI could do the work of X" they mean "we could replace the work of X with incorrect, randomly generated filler, and no one would stop us". What would the side effects be? They don't care, they already cashed the check.

there's an old game made in the games factory (klik 'n' play variant) called "pretend you're platforming", where you have to use 8-way movement controls to simulate platforming, and the klipart judge will yell at you and make you restart if you do stuff like jump too high, too far, double jump, etc.

Enough people said they wanted to see the final slide deck, so I took the time to put it on my non-teacher github so I could share it. I didn't end up getting in trouble. I ended up being encouraged by a colleague to share it with my dept chair, and he liked it

Oh neat. Ruffle's developed enough to run some of my old Multimedia Fusion 2 Flash games without issue.

Hackworth's Last Kick is a short Ludum Dare jam game from 2009 (!) about playing games while the walls close in.
