GOD BLESS @DemonsTilt !!!

@STGshmups Excellent interview of the dev by @flarb here youtube.com/watch?v=s8EzHz…

@tetrisgm @STGshmups The playlist is here: youtube.com/playlist?list=… This has all the long forms.

@flarb @STGshmups Epic tyvm I couldn’t find it

Finally done with ABUSE (1996). Took me ~9 hours through 2 weeks or so of playing. I'll repeat what I said prior: this is one of the coolest and most fun games I've played in a long while, especially with this new 60 fps sourceport (which makes some parts ridiculous). Loved it.

@tetrisgm @STGshmups Sure it does, the long form is right here: youtu.be/JVKk86wiaAA?si… All of the long forms are arranged in the podcast playlist.

@flarb @STGshmups They are excellent! Two requests: - Please consider not releasing the shorter versions (that’s what shorts / clips are for!) - The above is the only interview that doesn’t have a longform video (1hr long or such)!

@tetrisgm @STGshmups lol, I didn't think anyone was watching these interviews! But occasionally I do stumble on someone who mentions them.

R.I.P. to one of the iLLest Engineers of all time... Mr. BOB POWER. Thank you for your various pointers in recording from D'angelo to ATCQ'S Low End Theory, Erykah Badu's Baduizm and so on! 🫡🙏🏾🕊️

Ancient Corp. began with development on Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Master System. After that, from the iconic Mega Drive era all the way to the Dreamcast, I was fortunate to remain involved with Sega hardware development. None of this would have been possible without the consoles designed by Mr. Hideki Sato. I am deeply grateful for everything he created. Sending my thoughts to his family and loved ones. Thank you for everything.

Finally tracked down the Verizon commercial circa 2002 that featured my Lord of the Rings mobile game. youtu.be/iHFDPlWR68E?si… probably the first licensed mobile game in the West.

Season 1 is complete. My last developer interview of the year is up: youtu.be/jqHfy-_FAN0?si…

Yes! @XENOTILT is nominated! See you in January!

世界中で、そしてもちろん日本でも大人気。 FPSの元祖『DOOM』のゲームデザイナー、ジョン・ロメロ氏にお会いしました。 かつて Team Fortress Classic にどハマりしていた身としては、最大級のリスペクトです。記念に写真も撮らせていただきました😊 @salonvideojuego

@TimSweeneyEpic This is strange because Snapchat and Facebook have been delivering mini apps in their apps (some written by themselves) for almost 10 years now. (Lenses, Instant Games)

Apple says that if you make an app with mini-apps, other people can make mini-apps for your apps, but you can't make mini-apps for your app:

This new Apple 15% rate for apps with “mini-games” is a program and devs can apply to. It’s written to give a special rate to mini games dependent on what programming language(!!!) they are written in:

@minhsmind Everyone overestimates what will happen in the next 3 months and wildly underestimate what will happen in the next 3 years.

@XENOTILT @wiznwar Thanks for the constant updates and patches. Love to see it. And that Gameboy filter is insane. I would never have guessed it would be that readable. Easily in my top 10 games released for PS this year

Finally got the platinum on @XENOTILT ! This is the best damn video pinball experience you can have. Full stop. No one designs a table like @wiznwar

Unity have just released Unity Studio (previously Unity Lite) and I'm not gonna lie here... This may be the coolest thing @unity.com have created in years... and it's not targeting #gamedev... yet. Hopefully that changes! gamefromscratch.com/unity-launch-u… #unity3d #indiedev #NoCode

Time for another #Switch #Giveaway, this time for the rollercoaster ride of video pinball goodness that is @XENOTILT from @wiznwar and @flarb! To enter: - Follow! - Retweet! Bonus chance: What are your favorite #IndieGames that are packed with crazy action?!?! Drawing 11/11!
