Hmm, if steam thinks so, it must be true

I really love Jeff's mellow and positive tone. If you think that arguing with each other endlessly about vidyja games kinda sucks, actually, check out Jeff's stuff, and just enjoy someone enjoying the thing.
I learned about this thing called "hyping a video" that can help push a video through to more people in some manner? If any of y'all want to do that for me I'd love that. If you don't that's cool too
Made a new thumbnail and a new title. I deleted the video and re-uploaded it to start from scratch. I feel like the YT algorithm kind of just stopped pushing it out to people and I felt like maybe rebooting it would help lol

I will volunteer hefty hours for this.
We gotta do a nationwide inquest into antisocial behavior. Leaving your dog's poop on the street. Not returning shopping carts. The What's Wrong With You initiative
people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

Obvious take: cogwork dancers is this game’s mantis lords fight. I can’t think of any other fight in any game where I actually just want it to keep going and never end. I just want this to somehow be a regular activity in my life now, lol. youtu.be/tdsLtVUV_70?...

There is one thing about #silksong that actually feels very generous - are the enemy hitboxes (the colliders you hit to damage them) a little extra-big and the hurt boxes (the colliders that damage you) a little small? (1/2)

They turned scope creep into art, lol. The sheer number of (beautiful, satisfying) ways you can open a NOT locked door in this game is bonkers. The vibe masters, truly. We’ll be studying this for years 😅

This game somehow went under my radar but I suddenly took noticed when I saw they have an OST by the AMAZING Tumult Kollektiv. ..And THEN I learn the Switch port was cancelled. Roller coaster of feelings! Hopefully Switch 2???

I somehow forgot to be stoked about this possibility, but that means now I get to be super stoked at the surprise. LFG!!

The moles are perhaps not the brightest of the animal folk, but they love what they do, you know? And that counts for something. #screenshotSaturday #GameDev #indiedevs #metroidvania #pixelArt

Ah, what a silly man I am. I gave myself the father's day "gift" of ONE DAY to prototype a "fun side project distraction" for those days when I know I need a break or change of pace, and OF COURSE this thing absolutely cooks right outta the gate and is demanding my full attention. STAHP!

Look, I'm trying to use this save point. It's weird with you just hovering like that - I need some space, okay? Alright, that was hurtful, I'm sorry.

Recreated the first simple puzzle room I ever made for BtK. I still like it... and I still love shrubs! Gives deadly exploration a little of that good ol' holiday cheer.

Hey #PitchYaGame. I wanted another game where boss fights require pogo, double jump, + other airborne abilities like Hollow Knight. AND aerial-chaining platform abilities, but used for fun rather than punishment, like Ori. With the vibe/story/exploration of an 80's fantasy novel. Demo coming soon!

Total galaxybrain 3am dev sesh rn. No one will see this post. But I'm wrapping up my bugs+polishing punchlist I've been chipping away at for 2 months, which means I hope to announce a public demo release date soon. And if you do happen to see this: hey, I think you're great. Keep up the good work.

Prince of Persia the Lost Crown is one of the best video games I have ever played. I'm late to the party 'cause I just wasn't hyped, and don't love 2.5D. But come on. The player ability progression is so original, and all the weird stuff ACTUALLY GETS USED and rules. Level design out of this world.

My dream feature for @aseprite.org would be a single-click toggle between animation timeline and spritesheet. So that the sheet is more of a “view” than a separately exported file. I feel like it would change so much about my sprite workflow!
