my favorite thing that happened in the last month has been the supermarket’s archaic coffee machine finally breaking down and getting replaced with the new sleek wonderful machine that fills the cup properly to the top.

me and my friends were overjoyed the whole week. nature is healing.

The download link should still be on my itch page! :)

I’m so excited to play this, the vibes are deliciously dark

Feeling particularly inspired by the idea of going to a reference location to study the architecture and environment. Taking the time and effort to replicate little nuances in brick and tile, foliage.

I really really want to make a map for CS2…

I loved the little touch of the arcades linking to your plingpling games, was a really funny 15 minutes on a really cute game experience!! such an immersive thing too, to get sidetracked by an arcade while exploring such a festival…

That one was my first proper game, so it was before I’d started that habit. The earliest project files for it were called Neue Gothica, since the first stylistic inspiration was gothic churches, and KLOSTERTRIEKA as a name came in when a short story/noise album I was working on merged with the game.

…shit. A sort of cesspool of eternal garbage, maggoted and festering. Before I landed on the online theming of the game, and before I found the meaning in its more hopeful moments, the game really was my venting about how hateful the world has felt in recent years. Hence, Garden of Flies. :)

Thank you for sharing your experience with it!!! I have a habit where before I know the final name of the game, I name it “garden of [blank]”, after something that symbolizes the game. With garden of flies, I felt disillusioned with the world at the time and envisioned flies as circling around…

A GIFT TO THE WORLD. PERFECTION IN EDIBLE FORM

A page from a notebook of mine. A screenshot of my game printed on paper is attached to the page with tape. Underneath it, the extremely erroneous statement “week-long project” is forever etched into a history I will never live down

Was flipping through my design bible/diary where I document my learnings on making art and witnessing this wonderful page - this was supposed to be a week-long practice project (i ended up spending 7 months on this game)

Lisa-Ann Gershwin's Jellyfish: A Natural History, opened to a page about Moon Jellyfish. My hand is pointing at an image of said jellyfish.

A screenshot of my game, showing a bloom of Moon Jellyfish. A pixelated, low-poly PSX style is characteristic here.

it found faces

big fan of linkedin accounts that post with zero linkedin etiquette, no “dear network” or nothing

fun fact: I started making Leap Year on February 29th, 2024
another fun fact: I've just realized I don't know when to celebrate

this was such a nice read! my face lit up when i saw the thunder effects in my playthrough, so cool

My mind replaying my inconsequential mishap for the rest of the day

2026 is a slow start for me, but it feels more like firing up a large engine that will then steamroll on with no stopping.

Lots of bad things happening in the world that make me itch to create art, so that I can begin to stomach it.

I’d say I have quite good patience until I have to deal with people who don’t have any. I really have to try not to tilt otherwise

100%, picked it up during covid and had a fun time bashing my head at it for a while, slowly piecing together some things while accidentally stumbling into the story, then chatting with the discord while they give me little hints. the community kind of becomes a part of the game itself

WHAAAT THIS LOOKS SO COOL. THE LITTLE SPLATTER FROM THE COLLATERAL SHOTS…

I like the spiderweb way… I usually mind map top to bottom but i love this

experiencing some kind of horseshoe event where it takes longer for spotify to open and load on my phone than it takes to switch my cd player on and put a cd in

was pondering this for a while but i’ve been playing pathologic 2 recently and that game pulls off ludonarrative cohesion so well that this never ends up being an issue

the screenshake and hit-stop is sooo good

the trickle down economics are strong with this one

sorry i accidentally tossed the wii remote at it my bad

❌ locked in ball ✔️ locked in, balling

it's painful how relatable the unreal part of this is, no idea what the starfleet thing is but uh. i imagine it sure beats looking at the little spinning thingy while unreal is building
