A screenshot from Gilt, a point and click adventure game. A wraith among many stone idols. It says “The fabric is unsettled here”.

A screenshot from Gilt, a point and click adventure game. Four people stand facing each other in a strange chapel. Purple elements hang from the ceiling like crystalline chandeliers.

A screenshot from Gilt, a point and click adventure game.A man stands among ruins and giant fungi, looking at a pomegranate. All around him is an orange and purple glow.

There’s a beautiful, strange allure to the colour purple. It feels occult to me, otherworldly. Gilt features the colour in many small ways.

I expect that if you are a videogameplaying person on here, following me, then you probably already own genre-bestriding British stealth ramshackle robot-avoider Sir, You Are Being Hunted. But in case you do not: it's -40% on Steam at the moment.

Giving the tip jar a cursory shake - once again, this is NOT out of survival need. I'm good for rent, bills & food! Every penny goes into picking up more obscure indie stuff for research.

If you like the work I do and want me to do it a bit easier (and have excess money), I always appreciate it!

Unpopular opinion, but a lot of this "doing it right" mentality is how we wind up with games all feeling the exact same.

Difficulty spikes, weird controls, ropey onboarding all of it critical to prevent games feeling like they're ground down and pumped out safe mush.

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only dev with a deep-seated belief in the power of a sittable chair. To add to my thoughts in the video: I think in-game sittable chairs allow devs to be gracious hosts to their players, to help them feel welcome to an experience without an expectation to act.🪑

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

When Frontier First Encounters launched in 1995, it was a DOS-only game in 320x200 resolution. Some 30 years later, we can all enjoy the same brilliant game in much greater detail, thanks to some enterprising and talented coders. Details of FFED3D are at tinyurl.com/FFED3D-AJ

The demo for Alliance Tales: Battles for the Frontier wants to scratch that X-Wing/Wing Commander itch.

TIE Fighter Total Conversion in VR with a VR controller interactable cockpit is phenomenal. God I love this game, it's so cool re-visiting it like this.

Yeah, I can see myself making the switch eventually. I'm not sure if the Steam Frame is going to come with improvements to Linux support or if it's going to require SteamOS (and its proprietry hardware), but hopefully we'll see some progress in the coming years...

(also, however good it looks at launch, they absolutey will nickel and dime people once they're locked into a sub)

There is a version of this where MS has seen the uptick of Linix, seen that Steam Machine could make Windows gaming obselete and thought: "actually let's just make the OS free, let them install what they want with power features behind a subscription." But I just don't think the execs are that smart

That would be a good outcome if it's the case, I'm pessimistic though :P

Me (indie dev in this economy):
“Best I can do is sentient tofu.”

Borked Elite Dangerous servers mean I'm writing up the next batch of experiences with Next Fest VR Titles instead. All from my Wednesday Twitch stream. As with the first batch, I used Steam's VR-tag feature explorer, and a randomiser to pick each game. We found some gooduns! #vr #pcvr 🧵

An astounding project still. Basically two full remakes of TIE Fighter in one. A more straightforward one that just adapts the original missions to the new engine, and a 'reimagined' version that asks what it would look like if the game was completely unbound by DOS-era hardware.

Both are excellent
