Every time on Reddit.
Me: *posts to “show your game subreddit” on “show your game day”
Commenter: “ok but why didn’t you make a completely different game than what you wanted?”
Moderator: “why the FUCK did you think it was ok to post about your game on show your game day? Read the sidebar, scumbag”
This is your reminder to play weird little indie games and support the devs
Seeing all these huge successes in Godot makes me so happy.
This might just be the biggest 3D game made with #GodotEngine, releasing tomorrow:

Sorry to be that guy but did the elevators in this game possibly inspire the elevators in Portal?
Kinda wild that “hey please be responsible in your reporting” would merit a block.
Screenshot of the Steam page for Ourlands indicating that the user wishlisted and followed the game.
Missed the 5000 mark but still gotchu!
Right Where it Belongs by Nine Inch Nails stuck on repeat in my head for the last 2 weeks.

I thought about writing Guinea Pig Gunner in C for the plot but my better angels prevailed. 😅
Rosewater seems to have a slight exposure problem.
Great reviews, discounted 25%, and yet sales have been minimal.
If you’ve played it and enjoyed it, please help spread the word!

Wild that I was this close to Trent Reznor. 10/10 concert. I was cheesing the whole time
I’ve gotten multiple compliments about Guinea Pig Gunner’s audio during play tests and that means so much because a lot of blood, sweat, and tears have gone into making the game sound good. 🥲

"Bubblesort x Game Devs of Color Game Showcase" is on a piece of paper by a paper cutter and some cute trinkets and colorful pens.
The Bubblesort x Game Devs of Color showcase was a success!
Thanks to all of the devs who came out and shared their games with the community, and for those who came out to play. 🎮

I wasn't sure what to expect from my first GDC, but overall I feel enthusiastic and energized to get back to work!
Every so often I worry that Guinea Pig Gunner is too easy. Then I see other people play. 🫠 Classic dev dilemma.
The game is learnable/teachable/enjoyable, though. I think I’m on the right track. Grateful to everyone who played today.

I’ll be showing Guinea Pig Gunner at this event! Excited to see folks there!
I saw that there! Is there lore behind the swing set, or just pure whimsy?
I hate to pile on, but…
First time at GDC. Kinda nervous.
I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉
First QBasic, then Allegro; you’re pulling out all my middle school faves 🥹
Chewbacca? You know he be Wooksmaxxing
Rewatched Forest Gump. No amount of incel talking points will make me hate Jenny. 🥲

i'm making a #QBasic game using mode 13h, 320x200 8bpp. i'm using VGA line doubling to make it 320x100 then horizontally doubling each pixel for 160x100
i use a palette with 3 bits red/green and 2 blue, and "subpixel dither" in between colors. here's a thread of images showing what that's like
1/5
I used to be an iOS dev who did dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{}); Now I'm a Godot dev who does await get_tree().process_frame. The more things change the more they stay the same.
Love this. QBasic 1.1 was my first language. 🥲
