Two years ago, I misconfigured this drone card to always go to the Trash instead of Discard. No one noticed until our new mode (in beta in our Discord now!) got players to use it more.
Posts by Trinket Tom | Battle Suit Aces OUT NOW
Our community is amazing. The first night of them testing the new mode has been so fun and helpful. ๐
Join them!
For the first time in a *while*, I've got availability to take on a new client or two this spring. If you're interested in learning more about collaborating/working together please reach out via email! :)
I'm super excited for this since it'll be the closest we've ever been to public development or early access kind of work.
The Trinket Community discord server will beta testing a new Battle Suit Aces mode starting this week. Join us if you're ready for a new challenge (or just new cool friends)! ๐ค๐ซ

A video game lawyer helps us understand what makes Outersloth's indie dev funding arm, and the contracts it shared at GDC last week, so revolutionary for the industry. New from @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social
Nooooooooooo
This is a great contract and Outersloth is such a beacon of hope for the industry. Please send your finest game demos to them.
(and if you need encouragement, I'd be thrilled to talk to you about our experience)
Amberspire, our dice driven science fantasy city builder, will release MAY 6!
Roll dice, grow a city, forge alliances, interact with an ecology, and read a history of the future.
PC, Mac, Steam Deck - May 6!

Hey y'all, reminder that I'll be at GDC giving two (2) talks!
Monday at 11:50, I'll be talking about how we can make board games better for the planet.
Friday at 12:30 (new time!) I'll be at the Experimental Games Showcase talking about how the escape room in my apartment made my friends cry.
come to my GDC 2026 talk with @fortebass.bsky.social!

I don't think they record these talks, unfortunately. But it'll probably overlap with my podcast appearances (some coming soon). That said, we're due for a chat! I'll email you when I'm back in action next week.
Stay a while and listen (and chat)! I'm currently cruising back to Chicago for this.
Mads is great!

They ask for Steam keys and then sell them :(
I know we all know it, but the Internet is so disappointing now. I've been getting dozens of these scam emails a day and it's just so sad to see. And clearly the platforms all decided to just...not care. Instagram and Twitch have the same stolen content+bot engagement problem.
I miss the days when streamer scams were easy to detect: they would just use the a tricky email address, like swapping in an "l" for an "I". But nowww, I have to skim recent and old videos to see that a) the audio is talking about a different game and b) the comments are all bots.
before signing with @outersloth.com, i tell devs to reach out to teams we've worked with so they get a sense of what it's actually like to be with us!!
whoever u sign with, check with others! most are more than happy to chat (and don't just talk to the most successful games under the label either.)
I'm experiencing this too. I feel like it's using more memory, but haven't done any comparisons. I've disabled the AI stuff I could find but no luck so far. I'll try re-installing it soon.
And last is... me! Hi, I'm looking for work. I was the animation lead for Wanderstop. I rigged every character, set the animation style, hired and set schedules, and did a huge amount of animation and anim code, FX work, and more. Enjoy my new demo reel and then email me at jobs@auratriolo.com!
Awhile ago I wanted to tell a car in front of me their blinker was on so I made Shout Screen. It's completely free, no ads. Check it out, I had a lot of fun taking a little break to make it last month. shoutscreen.app
This was such a fun stream! @tom.trinketstudios.com talked to @piratesoftware.live about ALL the voice acting and making a gigantic anime-inspired deckbuilder.

After reading that James Cameron may have gotten the inspiration for The Terminator plot from a '60s sci-fi movie (Cyborg 2087), I drew this B movie inspired Terminator poster
This was a great chat!

This is what we needed for a proper Metacritic score!
