EXCLUSIVE: @bigrunstudios is betting that browser-based gaming can make discovering and playing new games as easy as opening a link.
The studio behind Blackout Bingo has launched Crash Arcade with 32 games across arcade, puzzle and strategy genres, with plans to add new titles every week. Players can jump between games without downloading separate apps, carry rewards through a shared profile, customize their own spaces and vote on future game ideas.
For developers, the platform offers a faster way to test concepts and learn directly from players, without needing to build each game around a standalone app launch.
@deantak spoke to Andrew Bell, CEO of Big Run Studios, about the launch and the studio’s approach to developing games with player feedback.
“We’re not trying to predict the next hit behind closed doors – we want to build it alongside our audience,” Bell said.

Tech companies trying to replace people with AI, only for people to start replacing tech companies with AI has gotta be the funniest plot twist of the century

Surely this is an existential crisis for the video game industry? I'm not sure what can be done, but I imagine there are conversations happening about what should be done

These indie devs are making a game where you and your friends build a giant tank then run it from inside
- Fit it with cannons, rockets and fridges
- Aim, steer and fix it together
- Smash enemy tanks until yours falls apart
Game is Tower Tanks

Bill Burr: “Capitalism is a great thing if it’s regulated and they started deregulating it in the early 80’s and that’s how we ended up where we’re at. This new way of doing business where you come up with something and you just close the door behind it, nobody else is making money in this sector of business except for me. It’s out of control. You can tell it’s a monopoly when they don’t give a fuck. It used to be where all you had was your reputation, quality of your product, and how you treated your customers. Live Nation are internally sending emails laughing about how much they’re fucking over people. Why would you guys be joking about that?”

I recently watched the famous lecture by the late MIT professor Patrick Winston, titled ‘How to Speak.’
He opens by saying: “Your success in life will be determined largely by your ability to speak, your ability to write, and the quality of your ideas, in that order.”
Freaking brilliant.

LITANIA is finally on Steam!!
It's a horror game where you fight demons by typing prayers at them. Originally a game jam entry, now it's become its own thing.
We're already working on a demo, so if that sounds sufficiently interesting to you, consider giving it a wishlist! 👀👀

game design is mostly putting a door somewhere and then spending 6 months discovering what a door means
Can it open? Who can open it? Can enemies use it? Can it be locked? Broken? Exploded? Does AI understand it? Can two players interact with it at once? What happens if something stands in the doorway? Does it save its state?
