Controversially: Be careful about vilifying people creating their first games with the help of AI.
Vilify the companies that push it and harm others, but have empathy for those that need it as a crutch. Many wont even try without it! A person never trying gamdev is a greater shame. #NewLD #GameJam
I knew that these secret puzzles were only for a niche group. It's a relief to learn that they are enjoyable.
If you want to try and see how far you can get, play the game here:

Finally, a player solved the late puzzles in Starseed Harmonies! I was afraid they would stay in the dark forever. It's thrilling to know they took the full intended journey.
One of the funniest game I've played, and somehow a shivering horror story too! I definitely recommend it.
The Steam store page for Hypnagogia 1½ is live and the game is now officially known as...

NOUVELLE VIDÉO 🔥
La narration brillante des jeux de Daniel Mullins (Inscryption/Pony Island/The Hex)
Je vous propose une vidéo plus courte et un peu expérimentale sur un sujet qui m'a obsédé ces derniers mois.

Merci d'avance pour vos partages ❤️
I appreciated this article by Michael Taggart, on the temptation to use some of these coding tools and the pitfalls, from the POV of an experienced software engineer.
This is why it's important to fight these issues collectively rather than at the individual level.

I made Moss Moss, a #pico8 game about mossing the world and finding secrets. Hope you enjoy ♥

very much inspired by a GDC talk titled:
"Nobody Reads Anything"
I have been working hard on a "fun"way of revealing text blocks and make reading more active.
What's your solution to getting people to make read text engaging?

Sound Horizons isn't part of Steam's spring sales because it's, well, free. It's still out there though! So if you're looking for a short rhythm game with interactive music, you might want to give it a try.

Don't ask me why I'm playing forgotten PS2 tennis sim Hard Hitter Tennis (2002), but when you create your own custom player, you do so by answering some very bizarre questions.
I didn’t know I had an arch-nemesis until I started playing Pokopia, but I’m certain this game was specifically created to ruin me.
Here's a dive into how the new Pokemon game deploys the fundamentals of interactive storytelling to life-ruining effect.

Unity Learn webpage: 2. Use an AI tool To complete this step, you’ll need to use an AI tool of your choice. We recommend Unity Muse for Unity-specific tasks, but you can also use other AI-powered tools like ChatGPT (by OpenAI), Google Bard, or Anthropic Claude. 1. Use the prompt below in your AI tool: "I have two cameras in my Unity game, I want the game to switch between the two cameras when..."
Hm ok might be done with Unity Learn tutorials
I can guarantee you Muslims are as diverse voting as any other demographic, but in this case the Western European Right wants to exterminate us and the Left wants to only exterminate some of us. I don't really understand how the Racists can be surprised that people vote to not be exterminated.
Autrefois appelées “nuisibles”, les Espèces Susceptibles d’Occasionner des Dégâts (ESOD) peuvent être tuées pour protéger les cultures et les élevages. Des millions d'animaux sont concernés par cette mesure, mais est-elle efficace ?
Eh bien non, selon cette nouvelle étude.

Totally. At stake here is the conflict between games as “content” (retrogressive behaviorist bullshit) and recognizing context. The entire notion of “design” is saddled with so much fucked ideological baggage, be careful out there folks.

This is bad, and part of what makes it so bad is that this is clearly pulling from *genre* understandings of reality, which the statistical linguistic machine seemingly cannot distinguish from other text included in the training data. Truly an ideology machine where every episode of CSI is true.
When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.
And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.
This bit in the From Russia With Love game made me laugh out loud. You've got a fairly grounded, low key fight based on the one in the movie, then the most video game looking fucker of all time slides into frame.
Finally I see someone talk about Rhythm Doctor! This was hands down one of the best games I've played in 2025, and probably my favorite rhythm game of all time now.
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
Hi! Thanks for reaching out. Glad you enjoyed my work. :) You can DM me yes, I guess it would be the most convenient for now.
please rise for the video game main menu anthem
