GDC…..more like Great Dads (parents in general) Consider playing this game

wait wut, like the whole area used to be the best space to gather in all ways…..it’s gated this year?

will big time add it to my cal

Usually "hidden" elements can bother me in games, but in this case it elevates the freedom and fun I find in every run and allows me to just playyyyy w/o overthinking. Nice work Tom!

loving it so far....well done Tom!! ⚔️🌌

yesss

Why No AI Games? I have a theory.

100% agree on all counts, so so good on so many levels—hilarious, heartfelt, genuine, DIY, N64 reference, etc! 🫶🏻

twas the best

it was genuinely perfect for what it set out to do, enjoyable, wholesome, hilarious, kind, honest, reflective, etc. so so good.

thank u

(pun intended) bee is on 🔥 with this one

oh man SO agree but haven’t found the words like you said “the good thing should be part of the small thing” 🎯

also

in this example the “fully rendered image of the glider” isn’t what makes it good, it’s “how it feels to find ways to climb high and then jump off” or solely “the freedom it affords”

for a lot of reasons it’s gonna be hard to top this movie for me in the near future

Here is an excerpt from my conversation with @perfecthatgames.com about PONYO for The Complete Catalog: Studio Ghibli. Links in quoted post!

so @ettletodd.bsky.social is one of my fav people to talk to about literally anything—-such a kind hearted, funny and brilliant mind. Check this episode out and follow for more lovely content! 🙌🙌

cant wait for the full release but dang this will do 😍

dude yes! I still listen to the score for that game often, so so lovely

High Tide has been one of my most played games recently, and even grabbed an extra copy for the Game Design Studio at Northeastern I run.....cannot wait for that dino beaute next!

this one is also giving me Lumino City vibes which is another point and click fav of mine....

same same same, they are the best

loved that moment, felt like the perfect balance between was this an inner thought or an actual convo 🎯

We just released the 2025 Impact Report for Game Devs of Color. It's 39 pages of what we accomplished in 2025, since founding, and priorities for 2026 and beyond. Grateful to work with such a brilliant team.

The 2026 GDoCExpo is Sep 22 - 25, with speaker & game applications opening late Feb!

"The temperature in Minneapolis is dangerously high. There is an urgent need for the federal agents deployed to the city to step back and take a breath before more Americans are hurt or killed. [Highlighted]: Those protesting the Trump administration have an equal obligation to avoid violence.

This is from the NYT masthead editorial about the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The highlighted line invalidates not just the editorial, but the very idea of newspaper editorials crafted by the consensus of a board. Better to publish nothing at all than to publish a line like this.

TLD is the game I keep coming back to for all these reasons, such a beautiful game crafted by a beautiful team. ty & cant wait for Blackfrost ❄️❄️

great read.....and loved seeing @radiatoryang.bsky.social featured in this 🙌

Video games wield such a weird position culturally, because they can have the capacity to be just a fidget toy for the most childish people on the planet, and also have the capacity to be the most peak form of art to ever exist, if done well.

Anyway, appreciate the convo....I know its an impossible conversation with the way the rules are right now, but I do think its improvable......

They removed being "pushed out" still being a catch, ✅. If the ball is pinned or help caught with the ground, no catch ✅. The rest is absolutely a toss up, and a game based around throwing a catching a ball needs to have ONE rule for this.
