I'm sorry for anyone who worked on *that* new game, but there is no way I'm going anywhere near it. I'm not going to support a game led by someone who believes that lots of amazingly talented people in the games and thinky space shouldn't exist.

Why would I? I can support cooler people directly.

I'm givin a lil talk at "ThinkyCon 2025" tommorow at 5 PM EST!

about Trail Mix and Life in Captivity, and how there's no undo/rewind in either of them and how that effects the design and response to each game. Tune in! Doing it live so who knows what could happen! Very Nervous!

Announcing my new game, Wolftown, a 4-16 player local multiplayer game. It's delightful, especially if you have a surplus of friends.

A screenshot from Only Sliding. The left half of the screen shows a discrete puzzle with large 'l' style tetris pieces (and one single green block), only the long legs are 5-tiles long instead of 3. There are four of them and it looks like you are supposed to move them onto yellow and black hazard-striped spaces! On the right is a monochrome area where the blue player is sitting that looks little like a complicated maze.

Another screenshot from Only Sliding - this time it is quite reminisent of the sandy levels of Lemmings. There are beige pillars and six different plus pieces, three of which are free to move and three of which aren't. There are three exits from the screen (plus one that you can't get to), one near the player in the top right, one to the top left the player can get to, and one bottom right which seems to require the plus pieces to access.

We'll also have Only Sliding by PortPonky (@portponky.bsky.social) โ€“ a logic puzzle game with only one mechanic (sliding).

Solve puzzles in discrete areas to unlock pieces that can slide about the world you're moving through. Very clever, definitely tricky, and liable to give your brain a workout!

I've been making a jackbox-style werewolf game and it's coming along pretty well. I'm running playtests on saturday evenings in my discord server (top secret, accessed from my website) so come along if this is your sort of thing.

I've been keeping track of all the puzzle books that came in the recent puzzle book indie wave. I love what's happening in the scene. I'll probably post the following list every few months or so with updated titles, but this is what we've got so far (alphabetically) (links in replies):

I made Scritch, a simple, fully customizable media player designed for music artists ๐ŸŽต
Originally made in response to Epic's acquisition of Bandcamp, I realized @itch.io would be a perfect place for musicians to distribute their albums. The only thing missing was a media player...
So I built one!
