Making video games is (very) hard work.

Also, I was surprised to find out a lot of the studios I wanted to tag on bsky didn't have a presence here?! Absolutely wild to me given @annahollinrake.com has shared that their stats show Crescent County's kickstarter owes a lot of its early rapid success to the platform!

Okay I lied, Crescent County by @electricsaint.bsky.social was great to see showcased again! Kickstarter was funded in under 24 hours and has hit multiple stretch goals. 🤩 If you're interested in the game, definitely worth backing it before the kickstarter ends, as they have some cool rewards! ✨

And lastly for now, more gameplay from Grime 2 (GRIIME?) by Clover Bite was great to see! Loved the first one and can't wait to learn more about their crazy universe. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnco...

Planet of Lana was such a delightful game with a heartfelt story, super fun puzzle mechanics, gorgeous visuals and a hell of an OST - which I still listen to! Was SO delighted to see @wishfully.bsky.social are making a sequel!!! 🤩 youtu.be/zoXqkNlf7f0?...

Aphelion looks absolutely gorgeous! Really interested to see where @dontnod.bsky.social take this one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZs_...

Was really excited to see more of Cronos: The New Dawn from Bloober Team! I was a huge fan of the Dead Space games and this looks to be equally as creepy, should be a fun one. 😌👌 www.youtube.com/watch?v=vui3...

The king of platformers is back! Super Meat Boy 3D from Sluggerfly & Team Meat looks just as brutally hard as its predecessors, and so damn fun! Looking forward to once again seeing hundreds of my own character failing miserably as I finally beat a level. 😌 youtu.be/MtXRCarKd9A?...

I'm a huuuge fan of The Expanse, one of my favourite TV shows for sure. Seeing a sci-fi action RPG set in the universe is so damn exciting! The Expanse Osiris Reborn by @owlcatgames.bsky.social cannot come sooner! 🤩 www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyXG...

A game designed around and built exclusively for hanging out, having fun and solving puzzles with your friends? Looove the look of Big Walk by @househouse.bsky.social. If you haven't already, you absolutely should watch the trailer, the humour is so on point. youtu.be/G0ez7AP4-GM?...

LEGO Voyagers looks adorable! I was a huge fan of LEGO Builder's Journey (an audio-visual delight!) so I'm really hyped for a 2-player co-op puzzler from Light Brick Studio! 😍 youtu.be/-oRqvk_3maQ?...

ILL!!!!! Absolutely disgusting and creepy in all the right ways. The creatures' reactions, liquid physics and general reactive looking movement looks like it might even set a new bar for horror games. 🤩 Very very cool looking game by Team Clout. youtu.be/L4oHVSVIOd4?...

Who doesn't love a Mario party-like game? LEGO Party by @smgstudio.bsky.social looks like it's going to be a great one for videogame nights with friends! youtu.be/A2PgTclraWk?...

Another super creative one! Stop motion will always have a place in my heart and Out of Words by Kong Orange, Wired Fly, and Morten Søndergaard is such a breath of fresh air and looks goorgeous! Co-op platformers are always fun! Can't wait for this 🤩👌 www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYO6...

Felt That Boxing by @sansstrings.bsky.social looks absolutely hilarious! I'm 99% sure I've been watching the inception of this project on Twitter for a while and I ~love~ that it turned into this! 😂👏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSZC...

Okay let's start with End of Abyss! LOVE the atmosphere in this one. Always a sucker for orphographic-style viewpoints in a horror setting and this one looks pretty slick! Cannot wait for this one by Section 9 Interactive. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC7R...

There we SO MANY awesome looking games shown off last weekend but I've been a little burnt out and haven't had a chance to talk about the ones I was hyped about. BUT IT'S TIME 🤩

I'm trying to comment on this without being hyperbolic. As a manager, insisting on deadlines that you and your ICs straight up don't believe are possible almost GUARANTEES that a) their work will be thrown out or completely redone and b) you will put them in danger of burning out.

Feels like a good chunk of the problems we have in the world right now stem from a significant lack of kindness, empathy or morality. A lot of people aren't fortunate enough to learn it from their parents, I wonder if things like that should be taught in school?

sometimes the enemy of your enemy is a conservative multinational corporation using a morally void area of law to launch a massive lawsuit which is very fucking funny

Had a chat with a friend who is clearly burnt out but still at work. The problem is that if you wait too long to seek help and take care of yourself your rope can just end up snapping suddenly. It’s a very long road to recovery after this. Friends, if you feel burnt out please seek help 🙏

Please look at this before echoing the ignorant take that Americans don't protest anything just because our news won't cover it.

dude this party is such an echo chamber. it's just friends hanging out and chilling and having a good time. you need to invite some people over who want to kill you with hammers

I still can't get over (some?) Americans reading 10x as 'ten x' instead of 'ten times'. Is this the case in all of the US? Or just some regions? 🤔

He also blamed an ex-CoD monetization manager for the €80 skin prices at launch, forgetting that: 1. He literally hired them. 2. It's literally his game. There's no way he didn't know his monetization plan and its price points. "Deny everything," is MAGA playbook #1. Chronically irresponsible.

I'm in love with this for the simple reason that we can all stop pretending (or rather tell the folk who still claim this to stfu) that Apple is defacto leader of interface design.

Vista genuinely did it better. Looks way too busy and hard to read at a glance imo
