Friday Recommendation: Burning Daylight
A critique of a dystopian society ruled by consumption, dominance and alienation. A world driven by superficial pleasure and control through sex, tech & entertainment (sound familiar?). Inside, Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell vibes. Free. Short. Hidden gem.
The industry loves nothing, devours everything, and will never care for anything but its own growth.
If we want a better games industry, it has to be about people. It has to be caring for people, building up people, supporting people, protecting people, empowering people, connecting people.
When coders review designer script code.

Ostras, lo jugué hace ya un tiempo y lo recuerdo bastante perturbador.
Maravilla eres tú
Acabo de caer en la imagen que publiqué el 1 de enero y ahora sospecho que mi Bsky funciona como un Death Note cutre.
Friday Recommendation: Bleeding Roots
A short, free game about loss, grief, and obsession, reflected through gardening. The visuals evoke the classic Alone in the Dark. No action or jumpscares, just narrative, subtle atmosphere, and thoughtful details in a small, eerie, lovingly crafted experience.

Guapísimo. Me dio muy fuerte por ese juego desde la primera partida. La única pena es que lo exprimí demasiado rápido.
Está mal que lo diga yo, pero bastante buen gusto. Se quedan fuera del top 5 por tiempo joyas como Sayonara Wild Hearts, Telling Lies o Gorogoa.
Me he dado cuenta de que juzgo la ropa al guardarla para ver si le corresponde una percha buena o una regulera.
Seriously now: Naughty Dog, new IP, sci-fi, inspired by Cowboy Bebop, and focused on single-player, is a mix that should have hyped me up more than it did. That said, I'll take seven, thank you.
Any news about the remake of Intergalactic?
Marie's Room
Friday Recommendation: Marie's Room
Step into a room that takes you 20 years back in time (not literally). A little treat for fans of the so-called Walking Simulators, especially those who were left wanting more after the brilliant Gone Home. Free, short, and perfect for a rainy, lazy afternoon.

Last month, I wrote an article about boss design. I’m pretty proud of this so I’m going to share it here 👉👈 gamedesignskills.com/game-design/...
Estoy redescubriendo el Kindle. Media horita de lectura en la cama antes de acabar el día es justo lo que necesitaba para bajar las pulsaciones, liberar algo de estrés y coger sueño.
Además he vuelto fuerte con un clasicazo que aún no había leído: Los Pilares de la Tierra. Me está gustando mucho.
The Good Time Garden
Friday Recommendation: The Good Time Garden
Did you love the art and weirdness of Thank Goodness You're Here! but it wasn't disturbing enough? Craving a surreal, dreamlike experience but can't afford LSD? Give The Good Time Garden a try! Disclaimer: the game is free, but the therapy is not.
Para empezar a crear videojuegos no hace falta saber programar. Aquí va un hilo con varias herramientas gratuitas no tan conocidas (muchas de ellas open source) para ponerte a desarrollarlos si te pica el gusanillo de participar en una game jam 👇
I just bumped into this awesome google sheet filled with game design resources, covering many interesting topics. Posting it here so anyone can check it out! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
