After weeks of teasing, I'm very excited to officially show you all:
Gameplay of Calico Wilder!
I've been working with @waveparadigm.com, @littlenorwegians.bsky.social, and some friends to build the first of Calico's adventures, and I'm super thrilled with how it's coming along!

Pac-Man World Rally has a deceptively high skill ceiling. If you play your cards right, you can speed boost nearly perpetually.
TLDR: Fun boost tech goes wheeeeeeeeeeeee

It's me, I'm that friend.
I've gotten so much mileage out of cheap multiplayer indie games, they often make for really fun times with friends and family.
Here are some of my personal favourites.

Anyone else feel like you have to do some fancy introduction for OCs before you're allowed to do stuff with them?

I think even if we leave out this particular situation, I find it VERY funny how every other company is incapable of realizing the reason Steam has the monopoly on the PC storefront market is because they're the only one who has some idea of how to appeal to the consumer.
Other game marketplaces: "Steam has a monopoly on the market and needs to be dealt with!"
Also other game marketplaces: "Hey how about we be even more anti-consumer and fully lean into AI slop?"
"wHy Is StEaM sTiLl BeAtInG uS?!?!? WHAAAAHHHH!!!!"

i take frenzy damage every time i see someone go "well i just use it for the boring stuff". what are you TALKING about? if it's boring or unimportant, why are you putting it in? NPC dialogue is fertile ground for worldbuilding, creating verisimilitude, conveying important information, and hijinks!!
Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.
Find out it uses OpenAI to write "non-important NPC dialogue".
