Tanat (making Building Relationships) Boozayaangool

HEY 👇

so secretly we've been working with a cabal of indie devs making the type of strange & distinctive games that we love to play on noclip_2.

tomorrow we're announcing a SHOWCASE on noclip_2 as part of an upcoming Steam Festival about these games.

it's gonna be fun.
we hope you tune in.

me hopping and skipping my way home to play the pokemon animal crossing dragon quest builder game

i told her it’s like yuri but with men

met my friend’s partner today (who is japanese) and she didn’t know what yaoi was…….

i remember people were sharing numbers in the how to market a game discord server but i was too pissed immediately after next fest to look at anyone else's number lmao

i worked on the latency mitigation tech on stadia,,, and now all the public documentation is gone, all that’s left is the post on r/stadia saying how responsive thumper felt 🙃 lmao

it’s not exactly a house cat but there is going to be a cat tree hiding somewhere haha

(sorry for freaky audio in the video)

owen

yeah i’m imagining the plot holes as like the open cardboard box that feels out-of-place

but with a cat sitting in it…. it’ll all make sense….. right

do you think i can fix all my plot holes if i add a cat to the game

worming from home is gonna be at Day of the Devs in San Francisco!!! seriously so stoked about this, i've been seeing amazing games going through Day of the Devs for years now and it's just so surreal to be a part of it :') if you're at GDC, come say hi!

one day i will write about the experience of coming up with a pole dance burlesque number as a guy with theater kid energy (who never did 'theatre') and how that p much sums up the making of building relationships

the writing in this essay really transported me back to the game -- the flow, the depiction, it's like I'm back on that journey again

Phoenix Springs is such a visually distinct game, this piece really evoked the imagery, it's such a good read (esp as someone who played the game and was v confused)

i've never gotten a job from networking but i've picked up so much from so many peers, especially when i was first trying to go indie

but yeah, thank you for writing the article!! hope u enjoy GDC !!!!

the junior bit is so true bc anyone who spent the time & care to actually converse with me before building relationships was in day of the devs automatically passes the "i think you're cool" filter lol

Surf Club on Steam Surf Club is an adventure game about a young woman named Holly, who returns to her home town in the hope of rekindling an old relationship.

anyways if you're curious about the dev from this story, she's the one behind the upcoming Surf Club

store.steampowered.com/app/1685740/...
(go wishlist!!)

she didn't have some kind of secret answer, but her reflection on her craft really helped me with my journey

i thought for the longest time that my questions were "stupid", but it takes trial-and-error to allow yourself to be curious

back when i was in tech and doing games part-time, i hadn't considered a world where i could write for a game

i ended up chatting with a dev about how she approached her narrative game as someone without a traditional writing background and her answer really helped unlock something in my brain

hi! i'm the Community Manager for Black Tabby Games and Sunset Visitor. you might assume from my job title that i'm quite comfortable with socializing... but i struggle with it pretty often!

if you do too, here's a handy article for navigating GDC (Great Difficulties with Communicating) 💖

i'm locking in (so i can finally finish my company tax paperwork 😭)

Titanium Court is a play, a match three and strategy game, a dream and a nightmare, and deeply compelling I don't know what's happening and I like it.

We’ve struggled to explain Titanium Court…

Oisin from @rockpapershotgun.bsky.social called it “a game you can only describe as odd, or alluring, or maybe they’re one and the same!”

Perfectly put👌 If you're partial to things odd and/or alluring, check out the demo below 👇

r a t

she's giving gothic architecture

i swear the universe keeps breaking the intro

i updated to unity 6 and it uh, broke the game in a very surprising way

lemon with toothpick for legs and cloves for eyes with a coin in the mouth

i think she was on my mind when i made the rat

now i can't unsee the bicycle-seat-shape of it all 😭

there's a reason why all the characters in my games are buildings.....
