Hi, my name is Blake Andrews and I'm an indie (that's short for "independent") game dev. Here is my new rogue-like deck building "Ball Tale" (the deck is balls). It's a harrowing and honest game about what it's like these days. I'm trying to get it on the Nintendo
join me, @mutmedia, and @gurnburial at boshi's place (in person OR online!!) for a PLUNDERLUDIC workshop this sunday!
see how we've been making our strange videogame collages!
the set of plundering tools we'll be teaching are seriously exciting 👀
[07/14-07/21] plunderludics workshop

the plunderludics working group has been creating tools to make such things more easily

A humorous note: as pointed out to me by many readers, the logo of Mario & Luigi: Brothership can be cropped to "Mario Broth". Interestingly, over the series's 43-year history, this is the first game that ever spells out the word "brother" in the name, instead of using "Bros."

- UFO 50 (50 games!) from @mossmouth and pals indirectly tells the story of fictional studio UFO Soft
- The Remake of the End of the Greatest RPG of All Time is...Chrono Trigger Tunic Inscryption
