I've been asked if my indie games use AI🤮

No.

I spend more time polishing and tweaking than creating it in the first place so the idea of getting slop just seems awful🔪🤖

Support real games and wishlist Gone Feral or buy The Axis Unseen + Deedlee Doo! Carkour!

One of my favourite accounts

It posts Tolkien's Lord of the Rings at the date and time they occurred, using Oxford England local time

Tolkien fans should be following, it's such a joy to get snippets in your timeline
After the hobbits wake and enjoy the breakfast that the Elves left for them, Frodo decides to leave the road—they might be followed. And, ‘Short cuts make delays, but inns make longer ones.’

The hobbits head east. Looking back, Sam spots a Rider on the hill where they slept.

Normal Golf Game, the most unconventional take on hitting a golf ball since Wii Sports, is a beautifully weird triumph and a GOTY candidate. It was a pleasure talking to its designer about making such a chaotic experiment https://remapradio.com/articles/the-most-normal-golf-game-ever-made/

Best, most evocative thing we can do for the sale tied to NEW HARDWARE is... random extruded shapes?

First new VR hardware from Valve in 7 years.

An RPG sale is what's on the Front Page.

And we get... shapes.

Folks ask me a lot whether TikTok/Instagram/Shorts make trailers less relevant. The answer is kind of yes, but trailers are still super duper important!

In this video I explain the differences between the formats and how they fit into your marketing tool belt.
