- Reposted by Michael KolochHello. About a year and a half ago, some guy called Ralph asked me if I wanted to make a new videogame website. We're launching it today. Maybe you can even visit it if people stop hammering the server for a second.
- Reposted by Michael KolochI saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven
- Reposted by Michael KolochThis is important to sign and share. I archive Dutch language educational games (yeah very niche, that's why they require archiving) and I have to deal with lost media a lot. Don't let games disappear, please. stopkillinggames.com

- The real gem, that I absolutely fell in love with is The Big Catch: Tacklebox. It has it all: The music, the visuals, the challenge, the animations, the move set store.steampowered.com/app/2985610/...
- It is "just" the demo/proof of concept for the real game, but I dig the vibe of this world so so much. I hope the full game goes into a similar direction!
- I'm well aware that a big part of the appeal is nostalgia, but it absolutely NAILS IT! Right down to the perfect visual effect when the camera dips under water. The exaggerated lens flares. The post processing. The jingles. Everything is spot on. But it feels kinda fresh and modern underneath
- It makes me very happy that there is a bunch of great looking indie 3D platformers popping up lately. I'm a bit picky when it comes to controls and move sets, so I rarely like how they feel, but Big Hops is definitely one to keep an eye on. store.steampowered.com/app/3735820/...
- I think it is one of the easiest to pick up and have fun with, but the move set feels promising for much more depth
- I see lots of hype for that new Fantasy Life game. Maybe it's time to check this one out!
- Reposted by Michael KolochOmg everyone! Our game, Oddsparks: An Automation Adventure is having its full release a week from now! (27.5.2025) I'm so so so proud of this one. Hope you all enjoy it! store.steampowered.com/app/1817800/...

- Reposted by Michael Koloch🍄 Grab yourself a drink, boot up the game and get lost in the weird muhroom-y land, researching the funga around you. 🍄 SPHONGOS by @michaelkoloch.bsky.social is one of the best incremental games I have played on the #pico8 system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOaA... #indiegame #RetroGaming
- Reposted by Michael KolochBeen playing this the last few nights and it's a nice little gem of a wander & mine. Good style, a great example of a "simple" #pico8 game that isn't simple :) If you're looking for something to balance out whatever fast-paced action game you're digging, this will do the trick.

Bookmark this long read and take it in pieces, but it's dead on and full of details and you need to read it: "Rot Economy..A death cult has taken over..using software as a mechanism to extract value at scale in the pursuit of growth at the cost of user[s]."
