I blasted through the Blackwell games in high school and played the masterpiece that is Unavowed in college, so it's been such an honor to have been able to help test Old Skies!
It's an amazing story, with incredible art by @threeohfour.bsky.social, and a freaking awesome cast!
Go wishlist it!

When I was 5 I beat the first Pajama Sam game. Immediately afterwards I tried to map out the games puzzle tree with a crayon.

Writing "hey, how's it going?" in a DM to a friend and then spending 2 hours debating whether to hit "send".
hard to maintain friendships with game developers because all these motherfuckers have ADHD and forget you exist when you're out of sight (it's me i'm these guys)

We don't know. What we do know is the wiring diagram works. We built it, virtually, in @godotengine.org. We fed it scans of the books we found.
And the books are very, very strange. The "game" that resulted is also strange.
We're hoping people can make sense of it for us.

It turns out being super racist and cynically bringing up 9/11 at every turn wasn’t the best way to win the hearts of New York City voters

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist
the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

dude is /the/ vision for post obama democrats. this is like a direct response. there is no way the dnc will ever have the mandate of progress after this race, especially if he wins

Hey! I was lucky enough to test this a while back and it's REALLY GOOD!!! Go play the demo!!!
What is Nighthawks? It's a vampire game where the vampires have been exposed to the world... but it's also different in tone from most. Vampire games tend to be cold and cynical, but this time, being a light in the darkness can be the real adventure.
