We're planning to release Terranova in Japanese 🇯🇵, Brazilian Portuguese 🇧🇷, and Russian 🇷🇺 and need your help!
We need to take time off work to import text and re-build the game and about 240,000 yen (1,664 USD) to cover bills during that time.

It’s time for me to brag about all the very cool people at Let’s Games! Tokyo this year for @globalgamejam.bsky.social 🧵
We had 52 participants and 10 games, with engines ranging from Godot, Unity, to #PICO8 GB Studio, Pulp (PlayDate) and RayLib.
The theme was Masks 🎭

I’ve never been particularly fond of short-form social media (Twitter/Bluesky/Mastodon) no matter now decentralized it is. I like chatting about some kind of topic in a forum board rather than, “whatever’s on my mind.”
So, same. I like connecting via blogs and RSS and comments and DMs.

I wish the movement to return to old web1.0 style sites was bigger. Forums, RSS feeds, web rings. It exists but it isn't big enough, I wonder if the people who even remember how much they had it figured out are just too few
Like it's not even nostalgia, shit was more communal and worked better then

Very much so.
Adding to this that while my generation is making autobiographical games of the 00’s, (like Perfect Tides and Terranova) with the way the world is like it is, we’re all indulging in a little nostalgia as a treat.

The memoir game isn't new, but it is having a moment.
I blogged about the boom of autobiographical games in the early 2010s -- and why the sub-genre is now returning with a vengeance.
