Still very much WIP but I'm linking my Sokoban Fan Game here for anyone who might be interested. Few dozen levels; just a few mechanics. Designed in part to be fun for my then-4-year-old, with varying success. PuzzleScript is great.

The Death of Character in Game Console Interfaces
A eulogy for the console soul.

Do you like geography? Trivia? Then this game is for you. I don’t normally play these kind of daily quick hit games, but this one is cool. #games

Playing Terra Nil right now, and it's funny because from the promo stuff I thought I wouldn't like it much, yet I'm enjoying myself a lot. There's definitely a game design lesson to be leaned here.
I was absolutely correct in my assessment that the game feels like it's actively trying to make suspension of disbelief as hard as possible with its completely ridiculous mechanics that make absolutely zero sense. "That's... Not how that works at all!" Is basically playing on repeat in my brain.
Furthermore, the entire technosolutionist tenor of the game rubs me very much the wrong way. This compounds with the physics- and biology-defying (or perhaps -spiting) fictional layer in cases like the convenient magical radiation-absorbing buildings so that you can reverse radiation contamination with a few simple clicks to be extremely bad politics actually...
But... The mechanics do work together quite well to make interesting puzzles with good gameplay that includes satisfying variety and challenges. The art is wonderful, and the music and audio design are spot on. The the result of each level is immensely satisfying, and the pacing is excellent.
I guess the lesson I'm taking away from this is that really solid fundamentals can triumph over an absolute cacophony of ludonarrative dissonance. That doesn't mean that in every decision between ludonarrative harmony (or just straight up believability) and neat mechanics you should compromise towards mechanics, but it reinforces the idea that if you make the mechanics enjoyable in the abstract, players (or at least, players like me) will be willing to compromise a *lot* on whether it actually makes any sense for things to work that way.
I'm still bothered by the "use technology to fix everything" politics, which prevents this game from being one I'll enthusiastically recommend, but despite myself I am having a lot of fun with it.

This game is worth taking a look at, especially if you are confused how a minority of people can foil democracy for the entire population.

#gameIdea: a game world with where the player is assigned different goals that give them a very different perspective on the world and what should be done in there.
the game mechanics do not change, just the interpretation by the goal tracker. but the player shapes the world around them.

I have never played Rogue but as far as I can tell it must have every type of game in it. Every game you read about claims to be Rogue-like.
It's a shooting game, it's a racing game, it's a climbing game, it's a strategy game, it's an action game.
Maybe I should play it some time and see if that adjective 'rogue-like' means as little as it seems.

Just finished the game "Arco". It's a masterpiece. Wonderfully evocative setting and writing, excellent systems with top-notch ludonarrative harmony, and complex characters that you love while also seeing their not-so-great sides.
For once in a violence-centric game I get to be murdering colonizers instead of metaphorical stand-ins for indigenous people? Feels excellent.
The systems and abilities did a great job of keeping things balanced too, with definite power growth but growing costs too, letting the tactics remain important throughout. After playing Flamberge, I was worried it might feel too fiddly, but it doesn't at all, and the ghosts mechanic really pushes you to play quickly.

Me as a kid: #Strife is such a cool game, it's got crossbow with electric bolts!
Me today: now that I understand it, Strife is such a cool game. However, the crossbow sucks.
You can guess what my favorite #Doom and #Heretic weapons are.

Enjoying the #Solis Demo. This is a cool way to show the game is now published ... graffiti on the side of a train ;)
Also, I like the hand-drawn art style & general vibe! #IndieGame #GameMarketing

Is that a JoJ- Souls reference?
