Planning to put up a game jam page when I get home tonight aaaaAAAAAAAA

No theme, but the rule of the jam is gonna be to try a new engine or tool! It will run through all of October. Anyone can enter with any language (tho jam page is probably going to be mostly Japanese) and Daikon and I are gonna stream the entries at the end!!

I will have more info up tonight aaaa!!!

renkotsuban,

@coffeentacos @BenBot I've cut down the size of the browser embed so hopefully that works now! Give it a go and let me know if you run into any more issues! 👍

    renkotsuban,

    @aetataureate Really curious about this as well, I don't personally know anyone who's played it and I probably won't get around to it for a while, but all the reviews make it sound very... mid, despite all the hype

    Today's goblin #CatsOfMastodon

    Now, let's make a definitive post to shut all this shit down.

    Why is Ro targeting trans instances?
    I am not targeting anyone. My personal block list is not a part of the dataset. The blocklist is pulled from a list of diverse, primarily queer sources. I intentionally left out my blocklist so it would not influence the data. I did that from the beginning.

    How are the sources chosen??
    Sources are picked based on their commitment to moderate bigotry in all forms: sexism, racism, queerphobia, anti-semitism, Islamophobia, etc. If it is revealed that a source has a specific bias, they are removed.

    Can my instance become a source?
    Short answer: yes. Long answer: the application process is being finalized and will be available soon. But the point is to get as many sources as possible to diversify the dataset.

    How does someone get removed from The Bad Space?
    As it is a community project, appealing to me won't do anything because I don't control the data sources.

    Let me know if it's a one-off because they shouldn't be in the search results.

    If you have multiple infractions against your instance, you need to speak to the instance that blocked you. Some don't want their reasons to be known publically because it invites harassment, so we are working out a process where people can get answers while keeping people safe. So that's coming.

    Are you open to feedback?
    Very. I'm a 20+ year design and dev pro. You don't get very far if you're not open to feedback. But I'm also a person, so I will not react positively to people hurling insults and lies at me and trying to lecture me about what they feel the project does. Keep it peace and respect, and it's all good. Act like a condescending asshole, and you will be treated accordingly.

    Boost this far and wide. I will talk more about #TheBadSpace as development ramps up again, but this should address all of the lies people say about the project.

    renkotsuban,

    @Are0h Thank you so much for making tools to make the Fediverse a safer place, and I am terribly sorry for all the DDOSing and abuse you went through last week (and now).

    Now that Daikon's home all the time now, Henry has learned to scrounge from snacks off of him instead of me since Daikon's a lot more generous #CatsOfMastodon

    I really hope this post does not get buried under all my TGS spam, but @polygonien is starting a new English zine looking at upcoming indie games!! They also have a super slick looking main zine in German. Both zines are gorgeous and have lots of great coverage, so check them out!

    feeling this extra hard again so i’m sharing this again because it’s at least as much agency as i can exercise over what they did to me

    We have arrived at the (massive) goods corner

    renkotsuban,

    @coffeentacos RIGHT??? I have too many plushies at home but I kind of need this Khezu. Daikon and I call it the なまチキン 😆

    renkotsuban, to random

    I don't have any pictures of Usagi Shima because Daikon and I were too busy squealing over the cute bunnies to remember to get any shots 😭😭😭 It's out and free on iOS/Android anyway so go play it for yourself!! https://usagishima.net #TGS2023

    renkotsuban,

    I’m not sure I’ll ever really understand character branded foods like curries. How are they meant to evoke the character? Is the Sonic blue curry meant to taste like hedgehog? Does this pink one taste like despair?

    renkotsuban,

    @coffeentacos This looks terrifying ngl, I am terrified of bright-colored food 😭😭😭

    Really wanna see this one, Refind Self, but lots of people in line so might need to come back https://playism.com/en/game/refindself/ #TGS2023

    Today was a lot of fun. Exhausting but very fun. Think we're gonna spend most of tomorrow in the indie hall since that side is not as loud or crowded. Also still tons of games from the Indie 80 that we didn't see yet. Will my stamina last?! https://tgs.nikkeibp.co.jp/tgs/2023/jp/program/indie/indie80/ #TGS2023

    The Happy Meal booth (ミステリー案内 series) has this whole comic book aesthetic for Final Exerion #TGS2023

    Person playing Final Exerion, a vertical shooting game

    renkotsuban,

    @misty According to Daikon: instead of moving left-right, you accelerate in that direction. It's a vertical shooter but the world is rolling log style ala Animal Crossing, so buildings "grow" into view. You have limited bullets but charge them with points eg by killing enemies. When you're out of bullets you can dodge enemies and it almost becomes a kind of racing game as you dodge obstacles. He said you shouldn't approach it like other stgs but it's really challenging and fun in its own right!

    Found GIFT TEN INDUSTRY's booth with Mr. Elevator!! #TGS2023

    renkotsuban,

    @coffeentacos According to Daikon: it's an escape room game based on sound cues (e.g. knocking on doors and listening for a response so you know not to enter, etc)

    Art style is really psychedelic, for lack of a better word? Like lots of bright colors and flat geometric shapes, looks very striking and distinct from Madorica's dark rooms

    today i got decker working inside of Unreal so that i can show hypercard poems while you explore the world.
    yay for having bitsy and hypercard in a big 3D game!
    (the effect is beautiful because it really feels like you're experiencing the environment in different contexts)

[A short gameplay video showing you walking up the side of a cliff. There is some grass on the left side and a very steep cliff to the right. As you are walking the screen glitches and you see a hypercard interface pop up. You click through it as it illustrates the path up using black and white dithered images.](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/111/094/277/431/824/322/original/5657082f81f2d229.mp4)

    Had one of those headaches last night where you start counting to make sure you're not having a stroke

    Good news, probably not a stroke and also I'm feeling better after sleeping

    renkotsuban,

    @eniko Oh no, those kinds of headaches are terrifying, glad it wasn't a stroke but also please feel better!!
