gotta remind myself that other devs know the score and understand when I say that -

I've been in the industry for 5 years, and tomorrow is the first time a game with a significant amount of my work is gonna be played by the public...

I'm so nervous!! and proud!! please play the Denshattack demo!!

Happy New Year!! 🎉 Last year was so chaotic from me breaking my wrist in three places and having surgery (long story), to changing jobs. Hope this year is full of growth and no drama. 💪🔥

This is a cute idea! I don't paint as much as I wish I could but I try to when I have spare time. Here's my 2

The Game UI Database is FIVE today! They grow up so fast.
A HUGE thank you to everyone for supporting my work, I couldn't have done it without you. BIG things are coming in 2026 - new sites, new features, and one heck of a book from @lostincult.co.uk. Watch this space!
Here's to the next 5 years! <3

This is great! 😍 I've been planning to do a UI redesign for some of the .hack// screens from infection for ages just for a personal project. Much love for the series.

Yes, games really WERE cooler years ago

Pleasantly surprised to learn that this video is actually about cool game UI (among a dozen other topics, it's a chaotic watch)

The most important point here is that the primary reason we're getting less varied and experimental interfaces in games is... the economy

Honestly recommend a Steam Deck if you can't play any games currently because of your wrist. I broke my wrist at the start of this year and I button remapped games to all my left side and with the touch screen it's so easy to use. It kept me sane

If you only want it for a small thing though there are sometimes Makers Spaces in your area where they are community driven spaces where you can learn how to use them or borrow one for a short time.

Hi! I'm not a 3D artist by any stretch, but I have a Bambu Labs printer at home. We use it mostly for smaller things around the home like making some cookie cutters in Blender to print out and handy for any wall clothes hangers etc.

Some UI I've been loving since it came out in recent memory is @duneawakening.bsky.social's survival game. Adore this sandworm threat bar: such a great idea and really does create a sense of fear when you're just about to get eaten!
