Pico-8 Compilation on Steam

Je revends mon GH5-II, sa patate Leica et une tonne d’accessoires si ça vous tente https://www.leboncoin.fr/ad/photo_audio_video/3158193109

Le partage caresse ma banque dans le sens du poil

I've been playing around with Crocotile 3D!
Here's a little basic scene with my pixel art asset packs. :'P

Love this one!

Modulator by Konsumer on #PICO8
Released yesterday at @rsyncdemoparty 2026
Watch online: https://hellfire.untergrund.net/download/modulator/index.html

Lots of great techniques carried through from The Mind (https://hellfire.untergrund.net/the_mind/the_mind.html) but the real thing that sticks out is a mastery of PICO-8's limited palette, both in the artwork and the slow fade transitions.
There might well be something especially clever around that oscillator effect too?

here’s how to win the war for the soul of the internet, and build the Web We Want.

Recent discussion about the perils of doors in gamedev reminded me of a bug caused by a door in a game you may have heard of called "Half Life 2". Are you sitting comfortably? Then I shall begin.

This is probably the best list of management related stuff going wrong in gamedev. I've seen every single one of these in my career.

And no, those aren't really discussed much at big-corp (tm) leadership trainings (That'd would get people into inconvenient truths territory...). Better focus on harmless "fun" like MBTI scores and discussing what goes wrong on the team level rather than with the big picture

How poor leadership slows down game development

No tool—AI or otherwise—can speed up game development if leaders don't rise to the occasion.
