- I've had a few false starts but whoooo can I pay to build me a new, simple but beautiful personal website? One that I can easily update myself after. (Something in the ballpark of @joonturbo.bsky.social's beautiful joon.be, maybe with a few more visuals...)
- I'll be pitching a raddd new videogame at DICE in a few weeks! (I've managed to avoid DICE for my entire career until now...) Give a shout if you'd like to see it, or meet up in another context.
- I am deeply confident that we have the most interesting selection of GOTY picks you'll find, as is our tradition.
- Our almost 4-hour GOTY 2025 special is live now! The gang's all here to count down our favorite "games" of "2025", alongside a bevvy of great picks from previous guests and listeners. secretlives.games/151-games-of...
- V excited for this delivery from @hollowpress.bsky.social
- I signed a lot of games while I was at Panic. I feel hecka proud of these past couple years of releases, if you don't mind me saying. 2025 despelote Blippo+ Herdling Time Flies 2024 Arco Thank Goodness You're Here Mostly making games for now, but excited to continue the curation when/where I can.
- Super proud of this trailer and very honored that it's a reference point for Derek! A great write-up, too.
- A news: This was my last week @panic.com! (Though I'll still be an advisor.) We did a lot of cool things together, and I'll miss my friends, but it's time for a change. - I'm working on a new game that I'm VERY jazzed about - I have some other things slow-cooking - A new collab with YOU, reader??
- Ah! I missed the 10-year anniversary of the release of my SotC book for @bossfightbooks.com! (Which, wildly, is the same amount of time that passed between the original game and book launches!) And there's actually some cool stuff cooking around it for next year! bossfightbooks.com/products/sha...
- Very jazzed for this
- One week left until the recording of our 868-HACK episode, the first installment of All Systems Brough, a year-long (monthly) exploration of the work of @smestorp.bsky.social. It’s not too late to play along with us! store.steampowered.com/app/274700/8... apps.apple.com/us/app/868-h...
- I’ve only played a couple hours so far but Angeline Era is rad! Feels like nothing else I’ve played, so confident in its direction and effortlessly interesting in its sprawling new ideas.
- Angeline Era is OUT NOW!!! 🔍Every level hidden in plain sight… 🗺️… chart your own path through the world! ⚔️Tons of thrilling combat, mysterious places… 👼… and a soul-shattering story! GET IT HERE!! store.steampowered.com/app/2393920/...
- important!
- DESPELOTE: FIFTH TRAILER youtu.be/_MXKlgMZ3Jc?...
- SEKTORI
- We'll be chatting with @gimblll.com next week about his incredible new twin-stick shooter Sektori, which some of us can't stop playing. Check out the game and send any questions or thoughts our way! www.gimblll.com/sektori/
- It’s my birthday. Please honor me by buying yourself a $5 copy of a unique, interesting game made for adults, whose release is exposing several of the biggest, most depressing issues in videogames.
- Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf
- I don’t use the word bonkers lightly... …but if you’re graphic-novel curious but will never buy them at full price or in physical form, and have an e-reader of some sort (or any iPad, especially), this is a TRULY BONKERS deal. www.humblebundle.com/books/image-...
- Much of the best sci-fi work (and beyond) of the past 15 years, including some of my favs ever like Descender, Prophet, A.D. After Death, and Southern Bastards. Among full runs of the more obvious bangers like Saga and Sex Criminals. Truly. Bonkers.
- On this Thanksgiving eve, while t’others slept, I conquered the Experience campaign in Sektori. Look upon your golden god, for I am untouchable this day. Also, play Sektori. All of the other cool games people talking about it are (also) right.
- Heavyweight has always been amazing, but this is one of the best podcast episodes I’ve ever heard. Also, devastating.
- Good morning. We have a new episode: Kevin. omny.fm/shows/heavyw...
- The extent to which the storefronts dictate what games can reasonably be made is an ENORMOUS problem. This is a particularly egregious example, and worth paying attention to: www.gamesindustry.biz/santa-ragion... Besides the point, but I found HORSES to be deeply compelling (I don't like horror).
- Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...
- It has begun.
- BIG NEWS: We are no longer Eggplant. We are, simply: The Secret Lives of Games AND ALSO: We've launched the first episode of All Systems Brough, a year-long, one-a-month series exploring the work of @smestorp.bsky.social. Join us and play along! secretlives.games/all-systems-...
