rock paper shotgun has drawn a small spotlight on yoshio ishii, who is probably best-known for the neko games but also crafted the revelatory cursor*10. nekogames is one of my favorite unsung developers, so it’s nice to see some attention. note the gamesetwatch feature mentioned in the post was written by me.

also, clysm (seiklus, also a generally chill individual) posted a tribute to shawn noel. i remember i’d been playing shawn64’s last game, which is full of such fierce energy, when i heard he’d killed himself.
