Old Skies launches TOMORROW!! This game took five years to make. It's been a frigging roller coaster. I don't think I've written a game more personal than this. If this isn't a time for kisses and fireworks, what is? Wishlist here: store.steampowered.com/app/1346360/... #oldskiescountdown

Editor creates an AI executive who is "an expert at building and scaling digital media companies." Decides within minutes that the AI is "one of the most knowledgeable and energetic colleagues" he's ever had. Asks the AI to create a headshot of itself. It does. He sexually harasses it immediately.

There are a lot of bad things happening all at once, and it’s overwhelming to think about how to meet moments like this. Jean says to focus on 1 or 2 things that you care about, understand fairly well, and are either local or involve a topic where you’re likely to have influence and find community

Ode to the cats of Dubrovnik #2 illustrating how I'm in denial about having to leave this place and all the new friends I made tomorrow 🥲

Meeting Jeff the surfer dude and "going inside the dreams of the plants we're collecting" is apparently something you can do in Starship Home... while in What the Bat your arms are bats (the baseball, not the animal this time). Two delightful designs indeed #rebootdevelop

Ubisoft released a color blind simulation tool today, called UbiChroma. The free and open source tool enables developers to test for color blind accessibility issues in real-time. Fitting existing workflows, it can help catch color blind issues early. caniplaythat.com/2025/04/14/u...

Reboot Develop day 1 wins: pitching to nice ID@Xbox folks, listening to a @safeinourworld.org talk about being less busy, more self-caring and more human with each other and as leaders, learning how to tell someone to blow me in Croatian and saying that to another Croatian

The Evergreen Review (first journal to debut Malcom X, Burroughs, Sontag, Pinter, and many more) just started a video game journal called DAS VIDEOSPIEL - and I was one of the debut writers! Honored and stunned to be contributing to something like this. evergreenreview.com/das-videospiel

something people don't talk much about in this era of "publishers expecting a near-finished game before investing" is games are being made sub-optimally in order to speed-run vertical slices/convincing demos instead of finalising systems then building content, you have to make content alongside 1/

I have shared this story, this thread, before - but I think given the state of the world, it's worth telling once again. Maybe it can help, especially if like me, you make art, and you wonder what the use of all of it is right now.

Kill the myth that being an artist means a tortured life of struggle. Creative people will do many more amazing and thought provoking things if they didn’t have to spend so much energy on being able to afford basic needs.
