Is it a good sign when you play your game's demo over and over again because you love it so much and you wish there were more content than there is? >_>

might need to crowdfund my living expenses for a couple months while I'm going through the whole pitching-and-rejection process.
But I also feel weird doing that because there are others who are worse off than me

Part of me wishes Hadrosaurus Software were a big famous company so a tech company would offer me to feature me in one of their commercials for their AI products, so I could reply with a three-word email: "No, fuck you."

The Criterion Collection but for obscure, low-budget indie films from the miniDV era

I promise, I really do love Doom.
I've just run into a streak of really frustrating levels lately

If I have to ask "where the fuck is the armor", then I hate your map

On YouTube just now I saw an upload of a song done in the "DOOM soundfont" and I'm like
waitaminute. We talking OPL? SC-55? Literally any other soundfont because Doom's music is just MIDI? Or maybe we're not talking PC. Did you use the SNES sounds? What is this "DOOM soundfont"?? I HAVE QUESTIONS

I'm not one to tell people who to be friends with, but after John Carmack's latest post on X, John Romero *really* needs to drop in with a "Hope you're doing well"
(EDIT/CW: it involves deadnaming and misgendering Rebecca Heineman under the guise of eulogizing her. What a fucking clown)

The sound effect in The Legend of Zelda when you kill an enemy, it sounds like a cross between bowling pins and taking a bite of the most satisfying kettle chip you've ever eaten.
I love it

2025-10-12 19:39:45 GMT

Watching "Them!" for the first time.
I really hate this FBI guy lol

Shoutout to the day a few years ago when I realized that the solution to the love-triangle problem in my JRPG's story was "make them a throuple"

"I don't think the story in Final Fantasy VII is great [...] It makes leaps that kind of leaving you scratching your head in a bad way, but it gets away with it. Like, I think it deserves to be criticized, but Final Fantasy VII is a game about moments. It is a game where you remember specific things -- like, it's more than the sum of its parts. [...]"

Ben, with one of my favorite things I've ever heard said about my favorite RPG. This has stuck with me ever since the first time I watched this, probably eight or nine years ago.

Thank you! I wish I had the confidence in it that you do 😅 I'm feeling like I'd be lucky if I sold, like... a thousand copies

I think why I'm so pissed off is because if I had known I was going to be unproductive today, I could have just called an audible and taken a day off. Instead, distractions at every turn, and now it's almost 11 p.m. and I haven't done jack shit for work *or* leisure
Total fucking waste of a day

I think maybe I have been building up participation in next fest in my mind as super important, as a sort of make or break kind of thing? When, yeah, it's going to help, but it's not like my game will die if I don't. I can probably get as good or better results if I spend money and energy on PR and marketing. Only issue with that is, both money and energy are in short supply for me right now

Acronia def gonna have a lot less graphics than Enigma Heart 😶

HoverBat is a really cool guy.

I don't plan to turn the temples to stone after you've cleared them, but I think I will, I dunno... put a flag on them or something

2025-07-24 15:48:25 GMT

I need to draft an official statement from @npub19yj…z90k laying out our stand on the payment processor situation, what we plan to do about it, and putting out a call to other indie devs to start offering their games for direct sale via shareware. This issue deserves more than just a post from my personal account.

My game isn't porn. But it is about a lesbian hero in an interracial relationship who's leading a rebellion against an oppressive regime and a king who literally claims that he's "making Lufain great again."
It's queer, it's political, and it gives the middle finger to the establishment (in its own way)
Once they're done going after porn, you can bet games like that are next.

This November (right around the time I'm planning to release Enigma Heart, as it happens) will be exactly 20 years since I took this screenshot.
This was me experimenting with a smooth-scrolling tile engine for an RPG, in FreeBASIC.
There's a direct through line connecting this initial test to what EH is now. In fact, if you include 2011 -- when I migrated all my code from FreeBASIC to C++ -- then there's very likely still code from this initial test in EH's engine.
Wild!

One more animation to draw, and the dogcow quest chain is done.
