Wow, straight to the name calling. No need to get hostile, but to answer your question - one doesn't have to be a genius to figure out the road map especially when the president has already tipped their hat as how they operated in the past. Signal went from a text message to a social app.

#Warlordocracy Ch.5 is out and the main story is finished. Gonna playtest all summer, then leave early access in Aug. Then Ch.6 will be set 25 years later, but I'm not gonna wait 25 years like David Lynch.

gamedev is when random people are one light beer bender away from deploying something like "controls making a game harder means the controls are bad" at you

This is incredible

Specific Expression #53: Jazz Guy getting really into sick Jaco riff. The jazz guy's eyes are cocked in a pseudo-dreamworks expression. His pupils slightly far apart like Ryan Gosling. He has a small smile, top teeth exposed, bottom lip protruding.

*clips into the wall and makes angsty groaning noises for 20 minutes while my HP falls to half*

heh… you FOOLS… you haven’t even witnessed a fraction of my power… behold…. MY TRUE FORM!!!

*falls out of the level midway through my elaborate transformation sequence and dies instantly*

Ashes Ashes 2025 (WIP) - Narrative Falling Simulator in Godot YouTube video by Muscarian Softworks

picked up my old jam game again, a falling simulator using Godot. made some changes to some of the artwork and music, and adding a narrative mode

wife: how was guarding the two paths today, honey?

guard: [looking away] fine

wife: did something happen?

guard: [tearing up] no

wife: would the other guard tell me something happened?

You can find some silly little games on itch .io if you don't see any you like in your steam library

Screenshot of the Godot Engine Editor with the project of Rift Riff opened.

this pride I feel for having released an overwhelmingly positive game made using Godot is 100% irrational. Godot is so obviously feature packed! shouldn't surprise anyone; yes, releasing a game in Godot is not only 'doable' but an opportunity to create .,~'something good'~,.

Forgot to mention Spirit Ocean. I really enjoyed the demo, but I'm not sure if it's still in development:

Diagrams of a "biohybrid" dog robot with living human skin and muscles.

I love when engineers get a perverse idea and run with it. This is a recently published concept for a "biohybrid" mechanical dog with bioidentical artificial human skin and muscle tissue. Given recently published work on artificial tissue, this isn't that far-fetched. 🧪

PSA

A copy of Penguin Land for the Master System, which features a penguin on a rock doing a pose next to a cracked egg

Before I forget, here's my Random Game Saturday entry: Penguin Land! This is a cute puzzle game that's much tougher than the box art would have you think. Between this and Pengo, Sega was very good at putting their name on quality penguin games!
