I'm going to try to start writing again. Social media has made me very lazy, and now with AI generated slop taking over many platforms, I think it’s more important than ever to start making sincere and long-form content again. I wrote a big blog about game design, that you can read on my website or on Newgrounds: https://kupogames.com/.../02/12/creativity-from-limitations/ https://matt-likes-swords.newgrounds.com/news/post/1512439 Maybe I can turn these into YouTube videos later.

Hey guys, since Twitter and Facebook suck (and DeviantArt too), I'm trying to scam people into following me on Newgrounds. I will be giving away Steam keys for Epic Battle Fantasy 5, one of the best RPGs of all time, to a random 10% of people who start following me on Newgrounds. So if 1,000 people follow me, I'll give out 100 keys, and so on. Please share this news with your friends! If you already own the game, you'll have a spare key to give to a cool person! Keys will be given out in a few days, and I'll keep this going for as long as new people keep coming. (The scam is that you have to follow me, which could be a waste of your time.) (If you already follow me, you might have to unfollow me and follow me again to enter.)Here's the link:https://matt-likes-swords.newgrounds.com/news/post/1507497

Yo, here’s a summary of my year, in no particular order:• I ported Epic Battle Fantasy 4 to Android, but the Play Store algorithm did not bless me this time. I didn’t even bother to port it to iOS, which wouldn’t have been much extra work. Mobile development in general is such a chore with the technical and legal requirements changing every year – I just can’t feel any enthusiasm for it. The only reason I stuck with it is because EBF5 did surprisingly well on Google Play, but the numbers are gradually declining.• Otherwise I spent the year mainly working on Matt’s Hidden Cats at a casual pace. The gameplay content is almost finished, but I’ve gotta wrap it all up nicely with some nice menus, flavour text, and general embellishments. Would be nice to have the game finished in 2025, but the scope keeps increasing. • I went to Morocco in April with my brother. He found incredibly cheap Ryanair flights, so we had no choice. We spent half of our time in Marrakesh, mostly in the old town
