I've been wanting to make a game like this for ages. Maybe as a Neon Struct sequel/spinoff someday.
Dreaming of an immersive sim set in a single super detailed tower block. Loads of flats to snoop around in, vents and elevator shafts to use for navigation, different vibes/challenges on each floor. It's under siege and you're sneaking in to deal with it. Die Hard meets Deus Ex. Someone make that.

I've played a LOT of deckbuilders over the last couple of years, and the demo for Arcane Eats is easily one of my favorites. (I didn't realize until I started it that it was from the same team that made Roundguard, which I also loved.) store.steampowered.com/app/3528960/...
Arcane Eats Demo on Steam
A roguelike deckbuilder with a delicious twist. Think like a master chef, balancing resources as you strategically combo ingredients to subdue hungry hordes. Recruit a legendary kitchen crew, and rise...

I am loving Pluribus, and I cannot stand reading comments about it. It's a Vince Gilligan show, it's a slow burn, people gotta stop being so impatient and stop trying to guess what's happening and just enjoy the ride.

I have so many questions.
I've read two separate threads on two different subreddits today where multiple people openly confess to not realizing Smoke and Stack are played by the same actor in SINNERS, and I'm shook.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Ghost Hunter Simulator is AI Free. Completely. I would go so far as to say GHS is anti-ai.

Recent discussion about the perils of doors in gamedev reminded me of a bug caused by a door in a game you may have heard of called "Half Life 2".
I wrote it up over on Mastodon (I find it's better at long threads):

It's hard to overstate how much I CARED about this screenshot spread (Nintendo Power, May 1996, via Ye Olde Internet Archive).
Also, Nintendo Power sure did love them some typefaces and gradients and stuff huh.

Just now realizing that I've been using Blender for 18 years and the last time I supported them was... 18 years ago (which was really just a purchase of a T-shirt and a book). Yeah, I should probably donate.
(Also yes I'm still on 2.49b for my own legacy engine reasons. Don't care, I wanna help!)

Blender is struggling. it's the best piece of 3d software on the market, and it's free. I'm not going back to autodesk.

Not sure if it's weather or allergies or stress or what but I have been feeling miserable today. Stuffy, runny, sneezy nose, watery eyes, sinus headache.
I want a big bowl of ramen or pho.
