. @almightyplate Is maybe The Witness a "Nobody loves me game"? Not trying to dispute your classification. But your talk just keeps coming up.

@americanmcgee @freelives YES!!! Haha, you must have known 15th of April is my birthday. We're definitely keen to join and to help. I suspect Landfall could be keen to send a crew as well (as they missed the last Pirate Jam when Covid hit).

Thinking of doing another Pirate Jam in 2025. They require lots of work and coordination. But are very rewarding for those who attend. And I did take a few notes on possible routes and stops during the last sailing season in Thailand. Wonder who would join. @freelives? You can see previous events (we did 4) over on my YouTube channel. #gamedev

@Ninfa_dp I’m interested! Two of my favourite activities!

Who would be interested in hearing more about a gamedev surfing retreat in the south of Spain next year? 😃✨

2/2 And we've done extensive tutorialization for our stick-figure-brawler on how to unzip files, turn off antivirus and tell the difference between a phone and a computer, where this was entirely unecessary for our card game.

1/2 For anyone confused... The audience for card games is indie developers, whereas the audience for stick-figure-brawlers is children... I know this because children don't know how to unzip files and use Bing.

My free card game on itch.io has been receiving donations at 7 times the rate of my free stick-figure-brawler... So that means that indie developers are 7 times more wealthy than children?

@terrivellmann @MrBaelinTweets @gameralphabeta 🧡 I can confirm, this was inspired by @terrivellmann 's life. My only regret is that we failed to adequately capture it.

@MrBaelinTweets @gameralphabeta it's inspired by my life, yes (made by some of my free lives idols tho)

@AdoneKitching @Free_Lives This looks like the perfect Venn diagram of things I want to play! Southern Reach, incremental games. And the visuals remind me a bit of "In Other Waters" which is another thing I love.

@dragglesden @reallyjoel @devolverdigital @Free_Lives We made a dumb little game for Ludum Dare a while back where your whole supply chain was fueled by garbage piles vfqd.itch.io/everything-is-…

@CodeOfTheVoid @reallyjoel @devolverdigital @Free_Lives Freakin’ Meatbags has humans being a resource to be exploited but that may not be what you’re aiming for there

Introducing Terra Nil from developer @Free_Lives, a reverse city builder about ecosystem reconstruction and leaving no trace of humans behind. Coming soon on Steam: devolver.link/34STKlw

@dragglesden @reallyjoel @devolverdigital @Free_Lives Haha. Yeah, I guess that feels like a poetic reversal to me. After all the Factorios and Civilizations where your cities suck up the earths resources like cancer, commodifying human meat feels like a logical next step.

@reallyjoel @devolverdigital @Free_Lives Does that game exist? I mean, almost all building games entail the growth and spread of humans where nature is just a commodity to be exploited or dominated. And I think we're past the point where "more humans but in harmony this time" is a solid idea.

@devolverdigital @Free_Lives also, how about having humans as just.. part of an ecosystem? ah that's right, once we unlock a certain level of knowledge we can't help ourselves

@The_MrX_ @hi_rohun @AlanZucconi @DriftPrism @thejuntgames Gosh. I started in 2009 with trying to make games similar to Ragdoll Masters. I'd suggest first trying to rig a ragdoll, and then pulling it around with forces to make it do something fun. Working with physics is closer to an artform than programming. So you've got to practice.

@hi_rohun @AlanZucconi @CodeOfTheVoid @DriftPrism @thejuntgames Any suggestions for where to start to understand how to make physics based combat systems like this? Or is just a lot of trial and error?

Stick it to the (Stick) Man in this physics brawler prototype callofthevoid.itch.io/stick-it-to-th… Helped @CodeOfTheVoid @DriftPrism @thejuntgames make this #screenshotsaturday #madewithunity #gamedev

@AlanZucconi @hi_rohun @DriftPrism @thejuntgames Part of the goal of the project was to see if this was possible... to make physically-driven animations look (mostly) like a traditional brawler... I think we came close. The implementation is like "Pupper Master", but more reliant on framedata variables (like a brawler).

@hi_rohun @CodeOfTheVoid @DriftPrism @thejuntgames This is honestly amazing! 😍 I'd love to know a bit more about how you achieved such a fluid and reactive character controller! 😳

We made a small game for Ludum Dare 47 where you use garbage to power startups (via turnips and cows and babies etc);

@moreelen The incredible enthusiasm for fighting for the opportunities of the male video game developer (who make up more than 80% of the industry) is baffling. If they spent that energy fighting for diversity we'd have a very different industry :/

@AMazeFest @kickstarter Looking forward to backing it! A MAZE always felt like it was for us artists/developers, now it'll be made possible by us too!

"We are many, so A MAZE. won't just die" implicates that we decided to run our first @kickstarter to bypass the missing budget for more planning security, sustainable structure, commissioned works, theme orientated programme and exhibition and show how relevant we are! #AMaze2020

New turret WIP, for our base building prototype. It kills in a line so requires particular enemy arrangements for efficiency. Definitely going to look more awesome/thunderous once @elyaradine works over it.

@ProstheticAIM That's awesome to hear! We've only been working on it two months, so hopefully it'll keep getting better!

@CodeOfTheVoid So far looking at this i would pay $25 for this, keen

@f4milyFriendly May I suggest not opening Twitter tomorrow.. I'm planning another tweet... Though if you're thinking of unfollowing I can promise that I'll eventually post something in good taste again.

@CodeOfTheVoid I regret opening twitter today
