What bothers me is that there is a not insignificant group of people in the industry that believe games should be developed by survey and not challenge anyone. That the games industry crash was caused by people creating art. Instead of, you know, capital was basically free and then it wasn't.

It is vital to feel lost, said Mårten Brüggemann, Ultros’s design director. “The best Metroidvanias are not afraid of that emotion,” he said. — Ultros in the @nytimes.com. Beautiful words by @lewisgordon.bsky.social 🌱

I defy someone to come up with a weirder opening sentence in an NY Times article than: "A planet-size eyeball blinks in celestial light before the hero in Ultros awakens on a spaceship amid alien shrubbery the color of an acid-dipped rainbow." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

It's the podcast & channel's fifth birthday today. So I made a rundown of my very favourite indie games of the 1000+ I've covered in that time. ❤️ youtu.be/6xbNKMtNKP8?...

Eftersom vi nu översköljs av hemskheter vill jag tipsa om en grej som jag lärt mig i mitt 12-stegsprogram: att varje kväll aktivt tänka på de bra sakerna från dagen. Vi delar upp i saker man själv gjort bra, saker man är tacksam för och saker som allmänt är bra med en själv.
