Woohoo, go Doc Florence, go!!! ❤️👑

"Crooks" season 2 on Netflix is so so so much fun. We inhaled it in record time. Partly in Vienna, partly in Bangkok, petty crooks and a mysterious coin - you don't need to have seen (or in my case, remember) Season 1, just dive in and roll with it!

That looks fantastic!! I will for sure get it in October - thanks for sharing 🙌

It's an honor to host this week's official #TurnBasedThursday!

📢 Calling all #IndieDev and #GameDev folks to show off their turn-based games below!

Love #turnbased games? ♥ / 🔁 great games in the replies and @ who should be in this thread!

I am LOCKED IN to the Oaken Tower demo update in advance of it hitting Early Access at the end of the month! It's absolutely my favourite game at the moment, and made by a solo Danish dev here

Wow!! I sometimes see 3 on my rounds of the lakes here, but that's 3 across ~1 hour - I've never seen so many in the same place at the same time! You have been blessed by the heron congregation ✨

Let go (there is no right way), let them (you can’t control what they think of you), and let it happen: one step after the other.

Loving it! Loving it all! The spreadsheets, the feedback, the sticky little problems the team are waiting for you to write the way out of. I remind myself: "what are you here on this earth to do?" I mutter. "This." And get right back into it. I remember my death. It's coming! "So what are you going to do about it?" Comes the inner whisper. I mutter "This!" and get right back into it. If I worry about what other people think, I try to raise my gaze all the way out past the heat death of the universe. This! Mmm, I love it.

Ultimately, you have to put your ego aside and try to enjoy the ride. This advice from Charlene Putney (in The Game Narrative Kaleidoscope by @inkle.co) feels worthy of printing out and sticking on the wall.

This Sunday 19 April is Good Decision Day! This is a fake festival I made up some years ago: a day when you must make only good decisions. I find it a weirdly refreshing thing to try for one spring day. Perhaps you would too? Some friends of mine also observe it, some others find it very upsetting

I get really excited when I see your name on the leaderboard! Thanks so much for your support 💖

This game is an absolute blast, and I often find myself doing the Daily Challenge Run, which I typically don't do for any of the games I play!

Ahhh, thanks so much John!! Really glad you had fun with it 🙌

I got around to playing this last week. It's fun! There are plenty of interesting choices and I like the feedback loop of defeated enemies becoming friends. Figuring out when to push forward and how to time the use of friends as wildcards to fix your hand was key for me. Demo recommended!

New demo patch allows you to bask in your former glory. How good is that?

The thing about actually making your video game real is that your projected imagination of what it will be is gradually substituted with concrete reality, and that reality is mostly going to be pretty bad until the game is almost finished. This is pretty heavy psychologically.

Haha what a double-take I just did! I was reading your thread, liking & nodding along & got to this bit & thought "Wait, this is familiar... oh, I wrote it!" 😀 hear hear, brother - we must enjoy the path for what else is there. PS: Innkeep looks wonderful, been looking forward to it for a while now!

Get well soon bud!! I recommend mainlining 4 seasons of Goliath in your fevered state ❤️

Life is so short. So short. So short.
Do your best. It's all we can do.

Read the next post!!

She simply stood naked in her room and had her friend wrap an entire roll of cling film around her torso!

It looked, frankly, amazing.

I never had the nerve to do it myself. But every now and then I think about Cling Film Girl & I hope she’s doing similarly top notch things out there in her 40s 🪩

… through the haze of cigarette smoke (yes, THAT long ago!). I was mesmerised!

I tracked her down, determined to know where this incredible creation was from, what material it was made of.

And she told me!

Many many years ago I used to go to a kind of rock/metal place in Dublin & one night there was this girl there dancing on the tiny dance floor.

She was wearing this sort of shimmering ethereal strapless top & it glinted and winked under the disco ball…

Hi everybody! My course, The Tools (Not Rules) of Story Structure, is back and bigger than ever!

Yes, it's about structure, but more than anything it's about what your story really means and how it goes about meaning it! For more info, check out the Irish Writers Centre and their list of courses!

The highest quality video of the moon was just released…
so beautiful

Birds of Play Made with Tally, the simplest way to create forms.

Did you already submit your bird-themed game to our aptly named Steam festival Birds of Play? We need 20-50 wild games to submit the festival and then hopefully are able to go through with it and officially host it on Steam.

Thinking of you Sahil, stay safe out there ❤️

It was incredibly good - highly recommend especially the rice recipe!!

Have you tried the demo for ”How Many Dudes?”? It’s very fun!
