At my keyboard, so I can do this justice now: 373 games (195 for Windows, plus tabletop stuff) for a minimum of $8, raising money for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. It's running for just over a week. Spread the word. In this thread, I'll highlight some of the best games

For FRACT OSC's 10th Anniversary we have put together a retrospective playthrough with tons of behind the scenes insights into the process and story of how this landmark indie title got made! Strap in, it's 5 freakin' hours! youtube.com/watch?v=NFeo0q…

This is big. Scientists have identified the cells in the brainstem that sense immune cues from the body and act as "master regulators" of the body’s inflammatory response. "The discovery is akin to a black-swan event. It's a whole layer of biology we haven’t even anticipated”

Good news for no one

We are so hyped, this is our new game ... *drum roll* PVKK: Planetenverteidigungskanonenkommandant The game comes from a love of pressing satisfying buttons and a fascination of old cockpits. Mix that with a bit of escape room and "Papers, Please" and you got PVKK.

Clickolding is a dark incremental narrative game about tally counters, motels, and uncomfortable vulnerability with people you don't wish to fully know. It is the most necessary, distressing game I've ever directed, and you can wishlist it on Steam today. store.steampowered.com/app/3011440/

I made a website. it's called "one million checkboxes dot com". it has one million checkboxes on it. checking a box checks it for everyone. that's it. have fun!

This is such an incredibly high level of hubris and malfeasance. It's also just a naked example of what is at the heart of the acquistions model that we've seen rip this industry (and others) into pieces.

This picture inspired a little video game I'm making.

Fuck this. If you can't negotiate permanent licenses for elements of your game, don't include them in the first place. It's not acceptable to carve out pieces of art and culture years later. It diminishes it for latecomers and tarnishes the work as a preserved object for all.

Dong Nguyen killed a chart-topping game because his guilt became so bad after realizing it had become "an addiction" that he couldn't sleep. Gametech Holdings, LLC has now revived the game back but with *more* dark patterns, loot boxes, and predatory design. This is cool

I'm proud of the work we and the orgs we partnered with did to try and change copyright law. We really gave it our all, I can't see what else we could have done. This fails the needs of citizens in favor of a weak sauce argument from the industry, and it's really disappointing.

SixEye NIB You just have this bizarre antenna in your brain that starts making crazy alarm sounds whenever someone starts talking about this specific thing. It's an indefensible position. It's a you problem. Stop making it everyone else's.

Seeing a lot of unfair assumptions about Skill Up today. He's a really insightful, articulate reviewer who thoughtfully deconstructs game systems while always supporting and advocating for developers. If he didn't like something, it's not out of right-wing culture war grift.
