Overreact, my first mobile app launched for iOS today, featuring a collection of (somewhat frustrating π) button-based mini games!
And a huge thank you to everyone who helped with testing and providing feedback!
(Android coming soon, I'm just waiting on the review process)

I am such an idiot! I completely forgot about Steam Next Fest last week, and as a result I didn't plug Beep Boop, not even once! π€¦
I really suck at marketing! π€£
Anyway, if you fancy trying out the demo, it's available on Steam. Link below...

Recently a video claimed that modern pixel artists are misguided - mimicking sprites as they appear on modern screens, instead of how pixel artists from the 80s and 90s βintendedβ them to look on hazy CRT televisions.
Not exactly. Letβs discuss.

1/ π§΅Just did a network analysis of the "far right thugs unite" hashtag. It largely seems to be a simulated scandal/outrage to promote the Reform Party and Nigel Farage and - while also being an attack on Keir Starmer.

This 40-year-old Llamasoft ad is really cool. Great illustration - I assume by Steinar Lund - plus an excellent lineup of classic games makes for a visually striking image that's mercifully devoid of the walls of text that often plagued game ads during this period.

We're BACK for a cozy rumble through some sound we found around today from 12pm for 90 minutes or so.
We're gearing back up for Have You Missed The Blender? at the end of the month which will bring us bang up to date, with, er, a bang.
