Game deazan.

I’m giving a talk later today about the state of narrative games at a lovely new event in Galicia called Atlantic Games conference. @atlanticconf.bsky.social

The pygamer is a nice little piece of hardware. Very open and versatile.

Please stop using X. The system doesn’t need you anymore and you look ugly.

I looked for this option for ages and then...

We had worries for the 18+, but in the end, the fact we focus on cheating more than gambling saved us. For Balatro, it's because it's enough to have the "descriptors" of gambling to be rated 18+. Nothing about actual mechanics. askaboutgames.com/need-to-know...

This by @localthunk.bsky.social on the other site happened to us with Card Shark a few times. This tech bigotry makes me so mad! We allow children to play with the most damaging gambling mechanic but as long as it’s done without saying any naughty words, like gambling, you’re fine.

Am I though?

In honor of 868-HACK being... well... BACK, a lil' thread about an elusive miracle that only a few games manage to achieve... the fabled emergent puzzle.

It’s nice here. Decided to post more. It’s going to be wild concepts, surprises and curious. Let’s start with a rare breed, seen in Paris.

Fearsome boss design.

The level design is spotless.

Fascinating medieval-fantastic architecture in Pierrefonds. A deformed vision of the past by Viollet-Leduc, bloated, extravagant. Very similar to Elden Ring in scale and themes.

Fascinating this Bluesky enlightenment following the self-sabotage of the other flying animal. But is it a renaissance or the end of the line?

An idea…

Found an interesting toadstool. Good attempt at a spherical hex-grid.
