This will not be the last time I write about Heart of the Machine, a very funny and excellent game

Our next game is Verminsteel!

You're a bird with a broadsword, kicking thousands of fascists so hard they fly into the sun

PLEASE go wishlist it, it'll make me really happy and help me stop low-key panicking and stuff: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4352280/Verminsteel/ #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev (boosts super appreciated)

Verminsteel on Steam

You're a bird with a broadsword, kicking thousands of fascists so hard they fly into the sun. Joined by a hoe-wielding badger, a mouse with a frying pan, and all the Molotovs you can chuck: You’ll resist occupation, defend the helpless, and push the Verminsteel back under the rock they crawled from.

It's the Monday before Christmas! You weren't getting anything done today, it's a great time to play puzzle sweeper with all your coworkers 🎅🎄❄

A NASA astronaut has captured an electrifying image of Earth from space, featuring a gigantic, jellyfish-shaped "sprite" of red lightning shooting upwards above a thunderstorm in North America. The rare phenomenon is still poorly understood, despite being studied for more than 30 years.

Here’s a fun idea: what if continuous delivery, with a canary or staged rollout, included an automatic revert inside of the deployment process.

No really, deploy, revert, deploy again. It sounds ridiculous, but so did continuous integration for a lot of people.

Have any of you done this? 👀

Even before the cult of The Algorithm poisoned everything and everyone, I'd already long since taken up the standard approach of dealing with any bureaucracy: you have to keep trying until you find the one person working there who remembers what the organisation is supposed to do, is clever enough to listen to what you're actually sying, and cares enough about people to try.

Automated Incompetence will add another layer you have to break through before you can even start doing that.

Here's a fun thing where you (and other players) solve all 25 million 5x5 nonograms. They're about 20% done now.

This is the kind of online multiplayer I like. The kind where I never recognizably interact with any other human and just vaguely contribute towards a shared goal.

Feels weird to news here, but we just released a demo for the game I've been working on for 6.5 years, so news I must:

Boosts appreciated!

Steamで30% OFF:Tactical Breach Wizards

In Tactical Breach Wizards, you lead a team of renegade wizards in kevlar through turn-based battles to unravel a modern conspiracy plot. Combine their unique spells in clever ways, or rewind time to try every crazy plan you can think of to punch a Traffic Warlock through a 4th story window.

I've recently lost my largest source of income allowing to work on Dear ImGui. It's a bit worrying but not short-term critical yet, as last years I've pushed hard to get other teams on board, contributing via various sponsoring, support contracts, test engine licenses etc.

I'm thankful to everyone who allowed keeping the lib permissive & open source for many years. I do 100% intend to keep it as such. If your team relies on it, consider reaching out to discuss ways of supporting the software.
