Mechanic [sliding out from under Optimus Prime]: I think I see what the issue is. This truck is also a big guy somehow

People are always saying things like "Neutral Milk Hotel implies the existence of Lawful and Chaotic Milk Hotel" but to be honest I don't think that's actually true

I just think it’s badass whenever I see a game be comfortable telling me no, or to wait, or to be patient, or that I can’t have everything. I feel like too many companies are afraid of doing more than jingling the keys for a babied audience, but I think consequences and boundaries are cool actually

Has anyone ever made a spiritual successor to Arcanum? I feel like I haven't seen anything else that specifically played with that dynamic of tech and magic being opposing forces in a world where the balance of power is rapidly shifting from the latter to the former

X-Com Apocalypse, doing all the crazy stuff they wanted to do but got cut during development. Would it be good? I have no idea, but it would at least be very interesting.
If someone came to you and said you could remake any game, no limit on budget, what game would it be and how would you remake it

Mine is Pigskin Footbrawl and I assure you it would make a billion dollars

Came up with a really good post in a dream, it's now been several hours since I woke up and I just remembered the dream but not the post. Not entirely clear on how mentally healthy it is to be dreaming about posting.

If I remember the post I guess I'll let you know

If there's anything I hope young creatives take from David Lynch, it's to reject the modern IP-driven impulse to explicitly explain and cleanly categorize the logic behind every single event and decision inside and outside of a story at least some of the time.

If there's one piece of advice I can give to game developers, it is to never wink at the player. If your game is being ridiculous, just let it be ridiculous. If you are making a reference, let the player get the reference or not, on their own.

When you call out the joke, it ceases to be funny.
FIVE: Do it like they ask. Write it the most seriously you possibly can and DO NOT FLINCH. Your players will get the joke, trust them. Write the most Shakespearean drama you have within your soul and pour that poetry all over the donut volcano and dare anyone to question you!

DO IT!!!

I'm making a side scrolling survival horror. Think something like ABUSE meets Aliens: Infestation.
Steam Store page and Patreon stuff some time in the new year!

Posting some older sprites I had up on cohost but well, that's not a thing anymore, is it?

Having finally gotten around to creating a Bluesky profile, I shall now make the customary single post before disappearing forever, as is tradition
