Rent-Only Copyright Culture Makes Us All Worse Off In the Netflix/Spotify/Amazon era, many of us access copyrighted works purely in digital form – and that means we rarely have the chance to buy them. Instead, we are stuck renting them, subject to

Buying a track or ebook that you can’t pass on, share, or transfer isn’t ownership; it’s a rental. We need to restore digital first sale. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Altered end of round screenshot with badly drawn BALATRO and MEWGENICS cat overlaid images

Lets hijack the #balatro / #mewgenics popularity madness and see if that generates any downloads of the word game I'm trying to develop. Decks and cats seem to be all people are interested in right now - good luck to them, well deserved of course!

Just a reminder that Phobos Down is still available at -25% discount on Steam and Itch for about 24 hours!

A reminder: this is an Irishman with valid papers speaking about how he's being held in US concentration camps. If you don't have to go to the US, do not go to the US. "GDC" is not "have to go". One denial at the border is going to mark you for life, and that's the best of the bad outcomes.

More games should have a cowardly baby mode. More games should let me suffer less consequences for dying or mistakes. Should have a "I just want the story" mode. Games should not pride themselves on "look how difficult we are".

I'm bad at video games and I wanna experience the good stories too :c

Maybe number each post and after a while ask if people see contiguous numbers?

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

Single screenshot with a 'tear' down the middle showing the two sizes of play area now possible. On the left is the original style with letter roundels and found words listed below, and on the right is the expanded area with less space underneath so only progress bars for each word length can be displayed.

A word2word update on itch with a feature to expand and collapse the play area, not final yet. It was for mobile small/squashed screens, but works well on desktop too.

If you like word games, give the demo/play-test a go and leave a comment.

If you link to a page that just shows a 'runs on desktop only' message to mobile users, at least still show the game! I have no idea what it's about or if I would have been interested. Marketing 101?

Same, Saturday is a work day too and often don't have time or anything different to show. Join the club.

The reality of marketing your first game as an unknown indie developer.

word2word anagram game showing a bigger play area and resized letter roundels and selection boxes, along with a progress bar for each word length a progress bar for the pvp opponent's progress.

I'm quite pleased with the new view auto resizing to the bigger play area and using progress bars rather than the word list (though still available) and here in multiplayer it shows your opponent's progress against yours.

Demo available

Big progress today as I ported procedural animations to my enemy AI! Starting to feel like a game and not a tech demo

Interesting, but that noise line for me is really distracting to the point I can't watch the screen. It might be a placeholder, but any way to make it more random and\or less prominent?

Too close to the fence if our squirrels are anything to go by. The only thing that stops them is a dome baffle halfway up the pole.

Beautiful visuals, very relaxing! I like a bit of roaming and simple exploration in games.

And guess who is the mindflayer!

You have to be quite old to remember it. I lusted after an Acorn Archimedes after I saw the demos when it launched. Never got one though, stuck to my C64 and Amiga.

Great Zarch (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zarch) vibes there. Awesome!

Late to the #showmewhatyouvegot and #screenshotsaturday again! Working on an accessible anagram game with demo on itch.io. Lots of modes and difficulty settings with bonuses and multiplayer.

How about #NoWayItsMondayAlredy! as I've missed several Saturday's lately.
