I love the *idea* of video games

Unfortunately, earning only 30% of 100,000 bucks is still more than 100% of 1000 bucks

Can have a good time with a 30mins time slot…

Gameplay is measured between action and restraint…
(DMC = Unrestrained)

Progression system allows for multiple ways to play, but is not overly complicated…

Dark Fantasy themes…

Exploration and Atmosphere…

Length: Must be short. Between 4 and 8 hours. Not too short that it feels like a demo for something bigger…

Everything is paraphrased with: If not a FromSoftware game or something by Fumito Ueda….

Finding comfort in knowing there are less and less games I am interested in as time becomes more valuable.

Here are my current requirements:

Hoping to make my feed a little more interesting to me

Best game people to follow on Substack? I find it much better place for learning than Bsky

Indika - that was a trip and perfect length for a video game. Thanks @brandon.insertcredit.com for the recco on a previous episode of Insert Credit

Yeah, it also ruined my day

You’re an inspiration to myself and I’m sure many others.

I stopped posting my work publicly about 3 years ago. I’m fortunate I still make work everyday that makes me happy and pays the bills though. Posting anything online gave me more anxiety than it was worth

2025 is: I’ll be walking my dog and my subconscious will hit me with ‘I hope we’re all still alive tomorrow.’

Perhaps the Gamers are alright

For me, twitter was a constant flow of screenshots. Here, I rarely see any. Who can I follow to see more WIPs and games being built?

Fond memories of playing Owlboy. World and characters are all so memorable. Get it!

I have shared this story, this thread, before - but I think given the state of the world, it's worth telling once again. Maybe it can help, especially if like me, you make art, and you wonder what the use of all of it is right now.

Not had a chip butty in like 25 years and now I desperately want one

The older you get, the less time you have to play games. What you play has to be really worth it. In my case maybe a couple hours a week.

Same

Anyone had experience creating a successful but small IP from gamedev?

Excellent

I use this image daily

Following more devs than I ever did on twitter. However my feed here has next to zero WIP videos. Why could that be?

I’ve already started imagining what brand colour CS3 will be. I’ll be lurking to say “I knew it” a few years from now…
