Hi I'm Markus and my whole life I felt lost between science and art until I stumbled into game development. Today I'm the tech artist and animator for a weird city-builder on a giant creature, making shaders and creating hand-drawn animation :D Make your quirk your superpower!

Every generation has its game creation tool: Pinball Construction Set (1980's), ZZT (early 1990's), DOOM/Quake/Unreal (late 1990's) Minecraft (2011), and now RPG in a Box - which is recreating ZZT! See below.

RPG in a Box (Bring Your Stories to Life!)
@rpginabox
@TimSweeneyEpic Hi Tim! I'm Justin, a solo developer pursuing my dream of creating a fun, easy-to-use game creation tool. I've had multiple people mention ZZT upon discovering RPG in a Box, and how it reminded them of a more modern version of it. (1/3) youtube.com/watch?v=Ea8Ofj

Maybe in the future 'games' are recognized only a sub-genre of the medium 'interactive entertainment'. And those 'games' focus on conveying a fixed set of emotions with the help of certain motivation patterns. With Dwarf Fortress and RimWorld exploring new ways of entertainment.

The world's first trombone rhythm game is instantly a GOTY contender. And no, I'm not kidding. Turn up the volume and hear Beethoven like you've never heard it before. trib.al/pFwvN8z

The Wandering Village is an awesome city builder! It features some thought-provoking decisions, great visuals and that “one last thing and I’m going to bed” type of gameplay. You should definitely check it out!🦕❤️

Hi I'm Philomena and I spent the past 3 years of my life making a weird game where you build a city on the back of a giant, wandering creature. I couldn't decide if I want to study biology or game design. Ended up co-founding an indie game studio making science inspired games :D

The end of an era. Pixelation was my home for years and was very formative for me as a teenager. And I think it was the birthplace of many pixel artists which are now considered among the best in the industry. I'm happy to hear that it will stay up as a read-only archive.

I've made the difficult decision to shut down the Pixelation forums today, and move to using twitter communities to allow for a more sustainable future. Explained my reasoning here: pixelation.org/index.php?topi

Great things start with small steps. Build things! I grew up with playing with LEGO, and making things with LEGO. I think our world is a better world thanks to LEGO. Be inspired to become the next LEGO.

If you connect two bricks together, that’s technically a build. So, feel free to update your resume to include 'builder'. 👍
