What is a "solo developer" in 2026?
The brilliant @apthomson.bsky.social talks about Titanium Court, which began as a COVID side project and, six years later, won the IGF Grand Prize. It hits stores this week, but before you play, you can hear the full behind-the-scenes story -- no game spoilers!
despelote is now BAFTA-WINNING despelote!! we're very thrilled and honored by this news!!
many thanks to @baftagames.bsky.social and extra thanks to panic's good friend @erinyvette.bsky.social for presenting!
The first three slides.
Hope to see folks in Brooklyn on 4/23!
Folks! We're hiring at @puzzmo.com again.
Since launch, I think the majority of my time has been spent on B2B systems inside Puzzmo - and it's time to start handing over some of those responsibilities to someone
We're currently the puzzles infra for a gazillion publishers and more are coming
Showcasing some of the animations I did for Scott Pilgrim EX 's enemies!
Initial sprite designs by @cyansquare.art @tributegames.com !!
Apparently, some joker leaked the Titanium Court release date‼️
Don't be alarmed, we have our top maintenance worker on the case. In the meantime, please avoid the leak and avert your eyes ⚠️

I just released my first ever game on Steam! If a hand-animated love-letter to your favorite NES platformers all packaged up into a modern metroidvania sounds like your thing, it's only $17.99 rn with the launch discount!
The wait is almost over. Ultimate Drummer launches APRIL 22ND on Steam 🥁

It's a whole 2+ hour photography game hidden inside BIG HOPS:

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
A 3D environment featuring a wolf head mounted for display above a fireplace.
Surprise! I didn't bother making a separate asset for just the head. The rest of the wolf's body is actually squished up real good like an accordion and hidden inside the fireplace wall.
Work dumber not harder
I'm home and I've written a bit on my blog about post-GDC feelings:

Good to listen to while I do my daily brogue run.
Someone kindly reposted this today for some reason, so I'm reminding you all to play Consume Me, one of my top three games of last year – not least since it's apparently on sale for a stupidly low price. store.steampowered.com/app/2359120/...
I searched bandcamp for the old µ-ziq album Salsa With Mesquite yesterday after something made me think of it. It's not on there but your track on Symmetrical Dogz came up as the only result and I immediately recognized your username. Happy accident, hope you're doing well!
Only a few days left for Rumored Blades 2!
Enjoying!! Nice to get a visit from a good egg while you're wobbling along.
I've been doing one run of brogue a day for the past week (I am slightly breaking that rule, if I die on depth 1 or 2 I'll sometimes run another) and it's a blast. I am terrible at the game but it makes me scream "oh no!!!" out loud all of the time and I love it
