My latest dungeon in Quest Master, Sneak Level 9000, is done! All I need to do now is verify that it can be solved, so that the community can try it. As per usual, play-testing found a few bugs, which I've since fixed, including one that made it impossible to continue if you took a certain path. ⚠️
Just looking at the forecast hourly temperatures coming up is giving me the chills 🥶 -23 degrees Celsius for the overnight low?!

Am I just overlooking something completely obvious to Code Vein players? Why is the game called that?

I can't remember if I shared this yet... I had follow-up X-rays yesterday on my left elbow, which came back good. I'm finally back to normal, though full healing will take about a year, until which I might feel occasional twinges of pain still.

One thing I have always wondered about is what Nintendo considers the boundaries of the F-Zero universe to be... and them being out of ideas for new games is a side effect of the boundaries being too tightly constrained. 🤔

i’m too tired and depressed
feeling like an ugly schoolgirl
knowing you’ll never feel this way
you’re happy with pretty people
and cute clowns
i will just close the door
turn out the light and lie in the dark
shut out the world and pretty women
listen to the hum of the ac

I can't help but wonder if the surge of black squirrels I saw in the summer has abruptly reversed with the harsh winter...

I'm a one-person, zero budget independent game maker that also makes the game engine powering the games. In the process of polishing and modernizing my entire collection of 32 games, at which point I will publish them on Itch. All open source software, not intended to ever make money.
“This is gonna be very different” — ex‑Blizzard dev Chris Sigaty on Sunderfolk and Dreamhaven: no Blizzcon megaphone, 10,000+ games a year and TikTok distractions made launches brutal — yet April 2025 showed new studios can still break through.

Of course, on the day before my doctor's appointment to confirm I'm healed, my elbow decides to flare up and hurt. Really? What is it with my bad luck lately?

I got 2 snow squall warnings within 30 minutes of each other - and of course the 2nd one happened while I was driving and couldn't safely check. Yeesh, this winter has been the harshest I can remember since I started following the weather at 3 years old 🤯

Despite not playing the game, I still listen to the soundtrack of Valkyrie Profile today. It's got some great music in there 🎶

My very first indie game, Maze Runner, got the glow-up treatment today. I started with modernizing the asset manager and organizing the code into multiple packages instead of just one. The logo really could use a visual refresh though.

My daughter usually plays Barbies with @caroocaroline.bsky.social but she was out of commission so she went to her dad and this man, controlling Ken, says "I'm going to my job at the handsome factory." I would have played with her but no. She would rather have Ken going to the handsome factory
