Elfi, known bug enjoyer @elfi@pixie.town

Tomorrow I begin (with one undergraduate student) my new research project into accessible game development.

We hope to build a couple of simple games this summer using Godot. We might need to buy some art assets (3D models, icons, sounds, etc.), and I'd like to support disabled artists. If you are (or know of) such a person who has some assets available, please drop a link!

Incredible scenes at the #Eurovision this year.

There's never been a result like it... a five-way tie!

Congratulations to Spain, Ireland, Iceland, Slovenia and Netherlands. All worthy winners of #Eurovision2026

Our 1992 Hoi Amiga game has been re-released, including source files! 🥳

Hoi was the predecessor to Moon Child. Prepare, it's a tough old school platformer… I mean… an exciting game challenge! 😉

The game was converted from the original 68000 CPU Assembly code to C via a soon-to-be released transpiler created by our coder.

MacOS + Windows executables:

Friends, it has become financially unreasonable for me to keep hosting l.p where it currently is, and we're looking to pitch out tent with Fedihost. One caveat: we need $500 to cover Fedihost's migration fees (that sum would cover l.p's hosting fees for a few months at least by my count).

If you have some loose change in need of a home and want to support what we do here at laserdisc dot party, you will have my eternal thanks. https://ko-fi.com/derekgodin/goal?g=0

CHARM STUDIES is now out on Steam, and it comes with a new trailer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skIkrk7NfN4

In this hybrid between VN and picross, you will follow the misadventures of Cassia, a little witch trying to graduate high school.

If you played Squeakross and you SOMEHOW still need more, Charm Studies will have you covered for a while. This new Steam version adds two GIANT puzzles on top of a bunch of regular nonograms. All of this bundled with gorgeous art and a cute story!

In honour of Black Author Day (which was yesterday, and I missed it!) some Black authors I highly recommend:

Nnedi Okorafor. The Binti series are particular favourites of mine, but all of her books are amazing. Binti is the first member of the Himba people is accepted into an intergalactic university, but her ship gets hijacked on her way there.

https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/binti?sid=61cca095-0b8a-4a1d-8620-532289b60bea&ssid=HgUg8oSsqcqQW8s0PMZZH&cPos=1

NK Jemisin. The Broken Earth trilogy is absolutely brutal and heartbreaking. It's also one of the most beautiful stories I've read. It's hard to talk about without spoilers, so I won't. Just go read it!

If any fiction is required reading, I feel like these should be.

https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/the-fifth-season-14?sid=7aa83e71-9f31-4860-bdfc-bb9dde043567&ssid=e5rVFeg9CdQk8pD1x2Ii-&cPos=1

Tracy Deonn's Legendborn series is the kind of sharp, gripping YA that it's impossible not to get hooked on. Arthurian legends and secret societies but without all the racism swept under the carpet. In fact, faced head-on and with rightful fury.

https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/legendborn-3?sid=e2415b4e-8e3f-404b-82e1-1a0c3d0b7633&ssid=Q-JEDCXd7xNyoIN4N6R6Y&cPos=1

It's late spring, and the big fluffy bumblebees have descended on the garden en masse 😍
