an unplayable game?! on Steam
a game about accessibility settings that's just a *bit* too hard for you to play effectively. 10-15 minutes in length with 30+ minutes of developer commentary!

so... i'm in this?? or specifically, my game is!

"an unplayable game" is my first solo game + it came out last month, so its SO surreal to see it nominated for ANYTHING, especially considering how incredible the other nominees are

thank you to #GAConf for the nomination, this is such a huge honor!

this is a super fun game!!! go play it with your Friday night
Otto's Basketball Game, version 1.0.0, is now done :--) The game is freeware, and you can play it on (or download it from) Itchio.

ottoojala.itch.io/ottos-basket...

It's a simple one-button basketball game with lots of silly details and a good kind of homemade feel to it.

tired of the mentions from a certain deeply disappointing thread. art is beautiful, creating is amazing, and if you don't get it, you should love yourself and make some art that you love!

I'm also going to say that looking at and appreciating art like a child does is an extremely pure experience that MANY people aspire to.
November 28, 2025 at 5:10 PM
some people rly post the most profoundly embarrassing art takes I've ever seen on this site. at some point you've gotta evaluate if you even like art at all, or just enjoy looking at superficially pretty pictures. because luckily there's an awesome tool that can generate INFINITE pretty pics for you

Objective evaluation of art as practiced in formal critique depends entirely on the artist stating their expressed intent and being evaluated on their success in achieving it, Or in lower-level art education, skill in execution of formal techniques as they relate to the assignment.

with how awesome and nice and artistic-minded the #gamedev community is on here, I briefly forgot how mean and shitty people can get on social media. just saying that damn, this community is REALLY something special
November 28, 2025 at 3:27 PM
this is why even if the industry was fine, I probably wouldnt go for (or get!) a design job

i just don't evaluate games like this anymore. i only take away the positives, stuff i liked and stuff I feel like I can learn from

nowadays I rarely walk away from games with gripes at the front of my mind
Like, to the point that "what's a game you love with terrible design? How would you fix it?" is a question I ask in interviews
November 28, 2025 at 3:07 PM
i can't wait for my second game to be done. then I'll have something to put on sale for fun events like black Friday

soon!
November 28, 2025 at 2:53 PM
it appears I will be part of this, with an interview as well!!! I'll post more details when i get them. but very exciting, right???
submitted "an unplayable game" to @piratesoftware.live's Indiecember event. we'll see if anything comes of that!
November 28, 2025 at 5:15 AM
the folks on r/disabledgamers like my game, i think! I posted about the GAConf award this morning, and its at the top of their front page right now. the internet points feel nice!

It's kinda like if you were born intuitively feeling like the A button should be on the right, X should be up, B down, etc. but life hands you an Xbox controller and everyone gets super weird the moment you ask about button remapping.

a lot of Gamers get upset at a game that's 8 hours long instead of 80+ hours of content

but think about it: a team of PEOPLE spent hundreds of hours of their lives just to give YOU an 8 hour experience. isn't that beautiful, that they'd put in all that work to enrich YOUR life with 8 hours of art?

I finished this game and enjoyed it, but sadly lacking in some areas of accessibility for me.

This review mentions the lack of quest markers and map - both things that greatly support my memory and cognition. It also flared up my pain in my hands from a lot of movement and taps/holds…

I'm still working on some last details, but I'm quite sure the basketball game will be done by friday :--)

There's going to be a (very) dark mode, too, in v1.0...
