We made a new game. It’s called Q-UP. It’s a coin flipping eSport. There’s a free demo! store.steampowered.com/app/3730790/...
Q-UP on Steam
Sick of long queues, unfair matchups, and arbitrary reflex tests? Try Q-UP, the coin flipping eSport. It's one part clicker, one part multiplayer strategy game, one part demented capitalism simulator,...

In my indie game “Beyond Sunset” the blue security programs are a reference to the Atari arcade game “I Robot”. The purple security programs are a reference to the strategy game 868-HACK.

the thing with Chesterton’s fence is it’s never invoked ingenuously: it’s always someone trying to get us to play “let’s pretend we don’t know why this fence is here” because they know it would reflect poorly on them to outright admit that they like the fence

This is why building a portfolio of mobile apps feels like building a sandcastle right next to the shore.
Oh it’s that time of the year again.
If your fav mobile games are gone from stores this might be why. Its exhausting.

trying to find a post from an old car-driving/weightlifting forum - they were asking for help transitioning from curls at the traffic lights to benchpresses on the highway. most of the answers were suggesting more gradual steps but there was one really interesting one.

from an ecological perspective, homo sapiens can be regarded as more-or-less a kind of large bird. it builds nests, makes music..

what is a game?

when you really get down to it: it's a thing to do while you listen to music.
