In May '25, a beloved Australian games website was sold off. It went dark then, a month later, rose from the dead but stuffed full of gambling links and AI authors.
It wasn't the first time, or the last time, this exact thing had happened. And it's still happening.
My months-long investigation π

Last week when adobe said they were gonna discontinue animate I got really angry and started building my own animation program. Iβm calling it FrameBoy.
I want it to be a free animation program for everyone forever.

In anticipation of Key Fairy's release (on the 19th of February) I have caught a cold.
To support me in this difficult time, consider wishlisting Key Fairy on Steam, and telling all your weird little friends to do the same.
Every wishlist is one step closer to health, or something, I don't know

We've been working on Parasensor since February 2023, when we submitted our application to the first Originate Games. And I first started spinning Ghoulish things up in 2021.
It only now feels like things are getting properly started...please pray for us....

I love the way your original looks!! I was just bored and felt like coding :P
I think your original aesthetic is perfect, it has a ghostly look about it that accompanies the sound really well

I used a live screen recording of your maze to play around with GLSL in Shadertoy :)
I reconstructed a 'viewspace position' and 'viewspace normal' using your maze as a fake depth texture.
Video compression is going to destroy this video.

Former Critical Reflex Employee Alleges Harassment And Unfair Labor Practices
Ex-employee Evelina Zemljic accuses Critical Reflex of sexual harassment, unpaid labor, and poor working conditions in a revealing YouTube exposΓ©.
With Critical Reflex being such a major player in the indie space, these accusations of covered up sexual harassment and unfair labour practices are all deeply disappointing and distressing. I hope this all gets tackled quickly and decisively.

Anybody have any idea how Cloverpit calculates the goal scores for each level?
The values are very specific, so I'm wondering if they were manually chosen based on playtests or did they use an algorithm

Dealing with my quarterly mental illness episode, totally disrupts my life but the world doesn't slow down to wait. I've barely left the house in the past 2 weeks, sleeping 10+hrs a day, and struggling to make myself eat. It'll pass but I wish I could turn on an "out of commission" sign for a while.

The silhouette is dithered so that won't be contributing to alpha overdraw, but it still is stacking more meshes on top of each other.
Camera isn't meant to get this close to Luigi so this doesn't matter anyway, no need to optimise this edge case
