👏. 👏. 👏.

It's ok. In the War Between the Land and the Sea we get to see a man kiss a fish lady multiple times.

Pro tip: use your last month of vision coverage to get prescription sunglasses. That way no one can see you cry as you look for a new job.

Laid off.
Buying lottery tickets.
Meanwhile, in Britain,
The War Between the Land and the Sea carries on.

The most important announcement at the game awards this year : Canonically, Geoff and Ms. Piggy have totally boned.
Honestly - big respect. Great bit!

A review for Possessors from punishedbacklog.com. In states in bold "Possessors is Heart Machine's strongest storytelling yet."

Huge shout out to @lmichet.bsky.social for being a phenomenal collaborator. I am remarkably proud of the story we told. Also, huge shout out to the rest of the team for their constant support and feedback. I hope we all get to do it again sometime.

An adorable Halloween themed train puzzle game??? Damn! This checks a lot of friggin' boxes for me haha. Go play it now!! Draknek games are the best!

Yes! But it's an adaptation. If memory serves, there are no characters or stories in the book because it is presented as a scientific textbook. It's just filled with facts about gnomes and beautiful cut away illustrations.

How do we get these two in a room together?!???

Oh, yeah. I hate grippers now. Grippers is so kloggo these days.

Yeah, I love grippers!

Absolutely!

If we are all playing as Dr. Frankenstein maybe rather than looking at "trees" to define structure looking at the nervous system or circulatory system would be fun? Veins and capillaries? Maybe end caps? I don't know

Regardless, I am looking forward to this and I am sure it will be a ton of fun.

It's not great for clarity or brevity but it could be fun to lean into the theming? Maybe like Butchered Bits, Hallowed Ends, Mortal Instruments? Vessels? Forms? Animations? Terminal Remain?

Is there a grave robbing aspect to this game?

I'd probably go with:
SOCKETS: the attachment point.
JOINTS: the limb/elbow card.
LIMB: the array of cards attached to a core socket.
EXTREMITY: the terminal card of a limb.

Another route: name them based on what they do in game. i.e. Combat Cards, Manipulators, Cash Grabbers

The demo is out now!! Go play the game I have been working on for the past few years!!

Yknow, @heartmachine.bsky.social and @devolverdigital.com are a match made in heaven ♥️

This is the remake we deserved!

Yes!! I can't wait for the full puppet/practical effects version of Star Fox!!

"Possessor(s) is also a Metroidvania, but it's also not a Metroidvania...it's a platform fighter, channeling Super Smash Bros. combat for a curious mix of juggling, bouncing, and physics interactions."

So much love from @gamesradarplus.bsky.social about our SEARCH ACTION game!

"We're not just making Dark Souls over and over again. We have a variety of skill sets and ideas... Our reputation can only go so far if we don't keep maximizing what came before and translating it into something in the future."

Thanks for the great preview piece @gamesradarplus.bsky.social !

Also, if things don't work out with your game "Balatro x Fortnite." Please let me know if you will be available to work on my next next project "Balatro's Gate 3" we could really use your help!!

No worries, every publisher who is serious about making money and making "The Next Balatro" has already booked several meals with me and sent care packages to my hotel. Best of luck with your passion project.

Same! I don't have a pass and will mostly be doing press stuff in hotels nearby. But I'll for sure hang out in the park and be attending social events.

A publisher would have to be extremely foolish to pass up the opportunity to publish both versions of "The Next Balatro."

Whoa whoa! Your game is also called "The Next Balatro?" Wtf?!? I have spent hours laboring/toiling on this brilliant title. How could someone else be making a game with the same name?!??!!

All I'm saying is if a publisher is really serious about making "The Next Balatro" they would make a reservation for our meeting at Benu. Then I would know they are the right publisher for "The Next Balatro."

Very acceptable. A brunch meeting at Mel's Diner would let me know that a publisher is SERIOUS about making "The Next Balatro"
