People are saying we're showing up in the #GDC Meet2Match app as people you can chat to or book meetings with... but as somewhat of an authority on the topic, I can confidently say: we are not there. We are, in fact, on the complete other side of the planet.

DEAD PETS (100% / 27 reviews)
A fun minigame-filled slice-of-life about a diner waitress slash punk band bassist dealing with life, bills, parental expectations, dirtbag musos, and her friends growing up and maybe moving on.

SUB-VERGE (73% / 38 reviews)
A tense conversation-driven narrative where you're being lowered into a reclusive undersea society but require the help of divers to reach it. Each has different ideas, and is suspicious of you. And something else is down here...

HENRY MOSSE AND THE WORMHOLE CONSPIRACY (100% / 9 reviews)
A fun point & click about a family who runs a sci-fi delivery service and gets roped into adventure. Superbly voice-acted by Aussies, leading to a nostalgic Saturday morning cartoons feeling.

SPACE SPROUTS (100% / 45 reviews)
A sci-fi puzzler with a time loop mechanic that supports ~15min runs where you explore different parts of a colony ship to unlock memories of your time there. The art is beautiful, and the puzzles embrace chaos solutions.

I can think of SO many, so I'll just pick just a few I've played very recently and super recommend...
(all positive but sub-100 reviews, some by a lot)
We are SUPER keen to hear how people fare with the GDscript version, so do keep us in the loop if you find any rough edges or bits that are hard to figure out. Can't wait to see what you make! ๐
an image is composed in which the capsule art of four games is embedded in a border that matches the green-and-orange branding of this day of the devs event. The games featured are Abigail (depicting a girl in a crafty handmade town), Escape Academy 2 (showing students outside a school), The Wide Open Sky Is Running Out Of Catfish (showing a person resting on the head of a large catfish as the sky above them is full of fish and an angelic-looking serpent), and Unshine Arcade (where it obviously used to say "sunshine" but the S has fallen off and an arcade cabinet behind the lettering looks sinister).
Here's just some of the great Yarn Spinner-powered games that you can check out at Day of the Devs starting RIGHT NOW! ๐
Of course in a game where you play a humanoid cactus, the "houseplants" are little humans in pots ๐๐ต
Paris similarly tried a system in the new editor where you could register markdown files which were associated with different noun-types like "location" or "character" or whatever. A bit higher-level.
We know people reference wikis when writing Yarn (we do too) but the needs are so individual.
We've been cooking for a while on how to better integrate things like that into the editor but the authorship UX keeps tripping us up.
In the prototype "Yarn Facts", Jon made a Notion with screenshots of what scenes/poses/objects looked like, and mousing over the command in-editor showed the image.

I received an email last night from someone on the Yarn Spinner's dev team. If you're not familiar with Yarn Spinner, it's been used as a dialogue/narration engine in some major games - Night in the Woods, Dredge, Little Kitty Big City, etc. They asked for some screenshots, because...

outstanding in your field already, sir
Our team covers the full gamut from "static site generator sicko" (Paris) to "let their domain expire and didn't even notice" (Tim)
It's honestly become a fun tradition to redo my website ever ~2 yrs with new skills + giving myself arbitrary constraints (minimal load times, no javascript, w/e) I never used to link to the old ones, but now it's kinda interesting to see how every style is a response to the last themartianlife.com
Like many studios, we won't be attending any US events this year. When you're a small team who runs on collab/consulting contracts in an annoyingly US-centric industry, this comes at a cost.
If you're making something that could use some systems/tools or just some extra expert devs, hit us up ๐
one time we were invited to talk at this prestigious data conference in London back when AI was interesting. it had a vendor exhibit where a robot would make you drinks + stuff. One booth was playing clips from the PoI intro as an ad; we asked about it + the booth guy insisted it was real + theirs.
A small dog with a white body and black head is wearing a harness and lead and looking out the window as she sits in the back seat of a car. As she is seated, she is about half the height of the car seat including the headrest.
my mother-in-law has a 5.2kg rescue dog (half chihuahua, half Jack Russell) named Tracy Chapman and she is this big
