Made a collage of some of my favorite fan art inspired by our 1990s Moon Child and Hoi games since they went viral on Bluesky in April 2026. This is just a selection. The amount of fan art is truly heart-warming. 💚

Lots of fan art with the creators in the filenames can be found in the Moon Child Archive file directory:

2/ Diddly is a game for one, two or three players that combines the fun and excitement of Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, Password, with elements of Battleship, Concentration and Scrabble. There is even a touch of the New York Times Crossword Puzzle. Players reveal words hidden in a crossword-style grid and race to discover the idea that connects them all.

It’s fast. It’s funny. And surprisingly strategic. Pit your knowledge and deductive skills with friends and against family in a party atmosphere. Move up the leaderboard by amassing the most winnings and securing you place among the pantheon of Diddly Champions!

Is Diddly right for you? Well, it is if you are a party lover, trivia buff, casual gamer, would-be game show contestant, streamer, competitive smart ass... the list goes on. Check out our #Kickstarter for more information and/or to support development of the game. Our ask is modest💵.

1/ It’s happening🚀 We’re launching a #kickstarter for our new #game Diddly. Let’s do Diddly🥸 - Part strategy game, part puzzle challenge, and part pure chaos, Diddly is designed to be easy to pick up, hard to put down, and a whole lot of fun with friends and family. Love #WordGames? How about a word game with #puzzles and #trivia? I know, what’s not to love?

Developed by Trilobyte Games, Diddly is a game show experience for people who love word games, trivia, puzzles, and friendly competition. Unlike many modern games, Diddly embraces a more handmade, retro-casual spirit. It’s colorful, quirky, competitive, and intentionally designed to feel like the kind of clever game you might have discovered years ago and kept coming back to ever since.

Diddly was designed and created by Peter Oliphant and Rob Landeros, two longtime game industry veterans with a few groundbreaking classics under their belts. #gaming #RetroGaming #GameDev #MastodonGaming #Games #GameDesign #Game #GameNight

In every game project I have worked on so far, I have had difficulty dealing with artwork. I'm a programmer and not an artist so I am always relying on other people's work for the art for my game. This is frustrating and so for the next project or two, I'm going to take the artwork out of the equation and just make text based games! #gamedev https://youtu.be/4IP5xL3rTrs
Dealing With Artwork Sucks! I'm Going To Make Text Games!

Did I do this right?

Excess often sells in the world of gaming PCs, but Asus' new 3000 W power supply makes little sense for even the wealthiest of whales

When is a gaming PSU not a gaming PSU? When it's an Asus ROG Thor 3000 W Titanium III Edition 20.
