It's undeniable that the "Creatures" series had a massive impact on many of the young kids who played it. 🐻 In case you missed this forgotten gem from the late 90s, the best way to describe it is a "Tamagotchi on steroids". 🐣 But if you want to learn more, stick with me for this thread! 🧵👇

Remember the AI / copyright consultation? I'm having dinner with one of its principle authors on Friday. What should I say to them? Bear in mind, they aren't responsible for govt policy, but are involved in its execution, and they can frame how the response to the consultation is received.

Let's not forget that in-game hints are not just a quirky design choice, but an ESSENTIAL part of making your game ACCESSIBLE for players with visual or cognitive impairment! ♿ There's a reason if many games—from "Tomb Raider" to "The Last of Us Part II"—use them! 👏 www.ign.com/videos/yello...

I'm searching for an old 2D Flash game in which you could slow down time around your character, and the ability was used to redirect aiming missiles back at the enemy turrets. Anyone remembers the name? 🤔

There's a horror game that's impossible to screenshot! 📸 Branta Games used a clever noise shader to ensure that the relevant part of their games can only be perceived while the game is being actively played. If you screenshot it, it'll just look like random noise!
