After years of work, I'm very proud to release my debut game "Super Space Arcade" to the public today. It's a short loveletter to simpler times, as I remember them. I hope it brings you joy. #gamedev #indiegamedev #madewithunity

I wonder if #Android powered devices like the #RetroidPocket or #AynOdin could start an alternative indie scene with APK sideloading or a lightweight store experience. With the price of entry for #gaming on the rise, this could be an exciting move to sidestep the big platforms, get some control and a direct relationship with customers.
#Steam Summer Sale haul.
I'm not a #Valve or #Steam fanboy by any means, they deserve criticism where it's due, but critique for a fair market price is crazy. Remember, the console makers are selling at a loss and are getting their money back through subscriptions, over-priced games and accessories.
Despite the price, the #SteamMachine will be a raging success and will be sold out for the rest of the year. Performance is not king, user experience is - and #Valve is providing the most playful, open gaming hardware that will attract a crowd of modders and tinkerers to make this something no other console could dream of becoming.
So the Masters of the Universe movie was not great. The best part was the humour, and the way the movie held a mirror up to our reality, showing that it is just as weird as Eternia, its inhabitants, and its rituals.
With games and player numbers increasing, the wishlist arithmetic changing was inevitable. I think off-steam marketing and community-building will become more valuable the more Steam gets crowded.
I'm watching the Masters of the Universe movie tomorrow. I go in with lowish expectations but go in I must. This was an essential part of my childhood. I hope it has the power.
I received my #SteamController and have to say it's my second-favourite #Valve purchase this week.
Looks like the 2nd wave of #SteamController shipments went out in Europe. Just got my update.
The truth about vibe and agentic coding is that it's still a lot of work to create something of value for other people. It made me realize just how much of the work is actually a back and forth on features and implementation details.
The #SteamController already being sold out is nuts. This gotta be the fastest selling controller launch of all time. Or even gaming peripheral. The original Steam Controller allegedly sold about 1.5mil - I wonder what amount was sold yesterday alone. 500k?
When the #SteamDeck and #Proton became a thing, many people (including me tbh) complained this would lead to fewer native #Linux builds - yet recently I see a trend with developers releasing Linux versions of their game just to quench out that little bit of extra performance.
I guess I have a new favourite playlist. #lofigirl (btw. I've recently seen a #Vinyl edition of a Lofigirl playlist in a local supermarket, the loop is officially closed now.)
I recently updated my #Unity project from 2022 to 6.3 LTS and everything went absolutely flawlessly. Didn't expect that. Pretty impressive, I gotta say.
Everyone rightfully angry at #discord and #bigtech and searching for technical solutions, but remember what really makes them shit their pants: you talking to your neighbours again. #democracy #regulation
"Furi" on #vinyl - probably one of the best #videogame soundtracks of all time, featuring Carpenter Brut, Lorn, Waveshaper, The Toxic Avenger, Danger and Kn1ght.
Listening to the new Carpenter Brut album "Leather temple", the official way - in style. #vinyl #carpenterbrut
Bruce Sterlings speech from 1991 is a must-read for every #gamedev - still very relevant today. lib.ru/STERLINGB/stor… (Found it via a recent blog post by Cory Doctorow which is also great in its own right: pluralistic.net/2026/02/23/goo…)
