its always sad when the promotion for a big company's b-list game includes "please buy it. if it sells well, they might let us make more. they might rerelease an old game we previously worked on. please. they're going to kill whatever genre it is if you don't." like, man, look what they did to us.
Okay, I've been impressed with Alien: Earth thus far, but tonight's episode was genuinely excellent. I'd been pleasantly surprised but skeptical in the wake of how big a disappointment Romulus was, and now I'm convinced, this is good.
We tried so hard to explain that the anti-trans panic wasn't just going to hurt trans people. Whether through recklessness or intent it resulted in extremely weird, broad, harmful laws. I'm not mad, but I'm telling you, we really tried.
Is it something I've streamed before, or anything else you might be able to tell me that I can narrow it down with, and does it take place solely on a sub? Because Stasis: Bone Totem comes to mind as there was a section with a Russian submarine, but only a small part of that game took place there.
@caseyexplosion.bsky.social store.steampowered.com/app/3689900/... Demo just launched very recently! Should take about an hour to complete 👀
If it helps, the game is good 👍
One of the projects I'm working on is currently delayed, so I remain open to contract work. Pay me human money for: - Game writing and editing - Narrative design - Technical, systems, narrative, economy or general game design consulting on a variety of topics - Un-spaghetti your Ink - Storylets
Hi! I'm working on Little Nemo & the Nightmare Fiends, an action-adventure game based on Little Nemo in Slumberland. It's got multiple playable characters, hand-drawn art that's faithful to the original comic, and coming to early access! Wishlist and updates @ store.steampowered.com/app/2229030/...
We're now at 96% positive reviews on Caput Mortum!!! 😭 We're so happy our weird little horror game has been so well received! 💖 Thanks again to everyone, and if you know a horror enthusiast in your life, let them know about this game! #indiegame #horrorgame #survivalhorror
Oh and completely overlooked game, but Dad Quest, far better than its silly premise would have you believe store.steampowered.com/app/524250/D...
Thanks so much for this! I'm making RESURRECTION GATE, a gothic dark-fantasy game about loss, liches, and what lingers at the edge of existence. It has a free demo! gcbaccaris.itch.io/resurrection-gate
Hi everyone, now that i've been evicted I'm trying to flee Texas, if you could help me do that as soon as possible I would really appericate it gofund.me/81979344
I do what I do for the love of the game and the love of the games!
Honestly, I've been very unhappy about not being able to stream, not 'cos of any external pressure either, I just really want to, and the extended illness has been horrible. I really just wanna play games for people, I do it 'cos I love it.
I won’t pretend I influence, but as someone originally from Texas, please help prevent it from becoming more of a hell state than it already is. This shit will hit everything from Dress Up Darling to Dragon Ball and tons of queer media. They wont stop at Just Texas. Your freedoms are at stake. FIGHT
I worked on Sniper Killer😊 Designed the UI and drew the achievements. I'm still very proud of it!
It also has one of the best soundtracks
If you're looking for something a little out there, Laika: Aged Through Blood is interesting in that it's a metroidvania that also borrows from the Trials series for movement and some extremely light souls-like death mechanics store.steampowered.com/app/1796220/...
tell me about your favorite metroidvania that people either forget exists or forget is a metroidvania your Tails Adventures, your Hero Cores, your Lyles in Cube Sector, your Phoenotopia Awakenings
Heck yeah! I'm making Mansion of a Million Monsters!, a zelda-like whodunnit where you find clues and interrogate suspects to unmask each monster of the week! You can also hit Dracula with a baseball bat. and you can wishlist it here: store.steampowered.com/app/3627210/...
Also, people completely forgot Headlander, but that was a terrific one. store.steampowered.com/app/340000/H...
Yes, it's very much a metroidvania.
Been shouting it out as much as I can, but Frogmonster deserves so much more love. store.steampowered.com/app/1853760/...
Good news, I've had 2 streams now since I've had to take an extended hiatus, and they've gone pretty great I think. I'm doing okay.
Reminder: if you are worried about AI replacing you as an artist: don’t use AI voices, If you don’t want composing to be handed over to AI: don’t use it to write text. You get the idea. If you value your job: protect others jobs too.
My partner and I (2/4th of SNW) are both trans and attempting to leave the US (I’m also an Arab immigrant). It’s extremely expensive, so please consider buying our game/leaving it a review so that we have some sort of income when we inevitably have to make the jump and start over. Thank you.
well you see I've made STREET UNi X, it's like thps but unicycles because I love unicycling and love extreme sports games (especially from the PS1 era) store.steampowered.com/app/2204900/...
Hi Casey and all! I have a demo available for my rpg, Mystery of the Sky Temple. It's a love letter to, and parody of, 16bit rpgs. It involves a lot of punny humor, memory loss, and military betrayal. theanimationvoice.itch.io/mystery-of-the-sky-temple
hello, i made a puzzle roguelike called witching stone. it's on steam and switch! store.steampowered.com/app/2693530/...
My buddy Joey is asking for donations to his top surgery fund for his birthday! Please share and donate if you can! gofund.me/7d5072d4

Hey folks, sorry for the late stream, but I'm live now and I'm playing more of the Australian Horror Point & Click Adventure THE DRIFTER! Please come by and say hi, and as always, all the signal boosts hugely appreciated. 🎃 www.twitch.tv/caseyexplosion
I'm making a survival horror side scroller. Guns, guts, zombies, buff people, weird warrior nuns, queer people, head stomps, inventory tetris. A game for sickos maybe.
Since I got laid off in May I've been working with a number of other former Polygon writers to start a new website. I'm proud to announce that we've just launched Rogue.site, a worker-owned and operated games journalism site funded by readers like you.
*Deep breath* #EyesofHellfire is officially in EARLY ACCESS. You can play it RIGHT NOW. Can't begin to express the immense pride I have in our indie team. To create something and release it is such an achievement. Support Indie Games. Play Eyes of Hellfire! store.steampowered.com/app/1724030/...
Earlier this year, I got together with some friends to make 5 little games over a week in Milwaukee, WI that were put into a compilation. They include exploration, racing, puzzles, and co-op action. The package also includes a lengthy post-mortem from every dev. tipsheda.itch.io/stretchy-buo...
First test Votann steeljack to see how I feel about the colours
Cool as hell and wishing it was done more.
starmer is doing all the anti-immigrant and anti-trans "popularism" stuff the centrists are demanding US dems do and this is the predictable result:
Resident Evil Outbreak was an ambitious game. Capcom took Resident Evil's formula online! Sadly it released right before the online gaming revolution took off. Today we're exploring all of what made Outbreak great and not so great! RTs appreciated! youtu.be/liij-4vustQ
The Palestine Games bundle that we put Spirit Swap in is live with all proceeds going to Gaza relief efforts! 400 games! Please support it if you can and get yourself awash in games by people who also care, good people of the world!
literally bigots on all platforms would have dramatically less reach if we weren't utterly obsessed with finding their content explicitly to dunk on it. I get it, I do, as a Former Dunkee I get it! but like a fire-without oxygen it fucking dies. Deprive them of oxygen!
Thanks for the opportunity, Casey! I haven't done one of these in a while. 😄 I made an atmospheric pinball adventure game called Pinball Spire! Climb a mysterious tower using the mechanics of pinball and special abilities. Available on Steam, GOG, and Switch. store.steampowered.com/app/2601940/...
Hey folks, will stream shortly, I've been running a little late with IRL stuff and gotta grab me some foods
Just released a demo for my quirky pinball game - it has goofy physics, controller rumble and also you can hit mushrooms with a pinball what’s not to like store.steampowered.com/app/3684910/...
I think I should make a regular, monthly call to action for indie developers to reply with their games, leave a description, and relevant links, instead of just doing it infrequently whenever I like. So why not a September #ShowCasey? INDIE DEVS, I WANT YOUR GAMES ON MY DESK BY TOMORROW!
SILKSONG!!!
The Games for Palestine charity bundle is out NOW! 🍉🎮 Get 382 games, including Atuel, for donating just $8 (or more) to humanitarian aid for Palestine and Palestinian refugees. Please help to fight against genocide by donating and spreading the word with a RT! 🙏✨
My contract with Blizzard ends in one month. I'm still looking for a fulltime role as a senior writer or narrative designer! If you need someone who can write poetic prose, emotive dialogue, and sharp stories, I'm here. ✨
Please donate or share
UNION!!!
Bluntly though, cis people just don't get it. And I don't mean "don't get it" as in they don't understand, I mean they literally don't get the constant abuse, threats, and harassment we receive, they can't fathom the extent of it because they're not on the receiving end of it.

Bluesky is definitely a better experience on the whole, and safety tools make it so that content is far more effectively hidden, but it's still an issue. But no, I'm not restricting replies because I'm afraid of debate or any such thought-terminating cliche, it's about the threats and harassment.
Not only do I not want to see any of that, I feel a responsibility to my audience not to let them see it either, I've got over 30K followers on here, I don't want them exposed to that kind of content just for interacting with my posts, and yes it happens on here too. So I close down replies.
"The coward restricted replies!" I'm a relatively well known trans woman on the internet, I get extremely violent and descriptive death threats, self-harm imagery, real life images of people being murdered, you're god damn right I'm restricting replies, it really shouldn't be a mystery as to why.
I hate doing self-promotion but also I need money, so here's a reminder that I have two novellas out through Filthy Loot. People seem to enjoy them, maybe you will too!

I am looking to chat with people who have been disparagingly featured in Zack “Asmongold” Hoyt’s content. I would like to see how this affected you, especially if you can provide ample receipts and clear timelines. Please signal boost this anywhere you’d like, as I’m not on Twitter anymore.
doing another bump up on this, external events have left me ... still dragging myself through broken glass.
Speaking on this; there's a tumblr post that PERFECTLY explains why TERFs have 'so much reach', and folk need to see it. Stop engaging with TERFS, block them, and get them offline. Likewise, report *their* harmful comments. Organise and be smart.
Would it help if I told people this is from the same director as I Saw The Devil? Which is another I'd recommend.

One of the great character actors. The screen always lit up when he walked on. There was a kindness about him mixed with humor that you can't fake. Just one of those greats who always made every film or TV show he was in better.
Cursed to be a popular idiot who only notices typos when my posts go mega viral and I see them in screenshots on other sites
"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.
Dragon con remains undefeated.
No!? :o
Bored of steampunk, so I'm inventing technobilly
It's Halloween, season of the witch, if you're looking for something spooky to watch, might I recommend A Tale Of Two Sisters? It's in my humble opinion one of the greatest horror movies ever made, the quiet domestic tension it manifests is nerve-wracking, it's a masterpiece.
We got a new but small lil patch for ya. We have a lot in the oven for Ep2 but hopefully this can keep ya fed until then.
Death by a thousand cuts. These censorious paypros and bills in committee will eat away at our ability to provide for ourselves. This is a sure outcome if we give up, but if we keep yelling we give ourselves another possibility

They were never going to stop at what was "legal" or not. They didnt to begin with! All art/media is on the chopping block. You have to fight this NOW. keep calling, contact your reps. Make some noise!
In my mash?
If you're interested in game direction, maintaining game vibes, trying to make a piece of art that's "commercial" while also fully strange, this is the episode for you! A back and forth between myself and @chopemon.bsky.social about the making of Promise Mascot Agency.

Look ma! I'm in THE FREAKING GUARDIAN! It's exciting to see people getting the weird Legally Blonde-inspired, anti-capitalist puzzle (but so much more) game we're making! Thanks so much for the thoughtful write up, @keefstuart.bsky.social!
Tangomushi is doing a real awesome fundraiser for the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund, go give her all the support!

People literally bled & died fighting against corporate interests, robber barons, corrupt local & state politicians, cops & hired killers, & the federal government & US military for better working conditions for the rest of us so reflect on that today for just a bit while you're doing whatever else.
I've seen some vocally anti-AI people recently make an anti-AI post and be surprised there are still pro-AI people following them, and I can explain this; most pro-AI people think they are somehow the exception. the way THEY are using it, SURELY you would take no issue! well, we do. so fuck off.
