video games make eleventy billion dollars a year but we can only have one website about them, and it’s owned by The Bastard Group

how poetic. a writer gives a review about how our game about the sad and horrific state of the industry commented on the human cost of development. that same week, the publication is sold and gutted, destroying more humans in the race to scrape the bottom of the barrel for profit.

I love adding this one data point to economic charts. It works every time.

The fact that the world getting worse made our game a stronger creative statement is cool, but also—rough as hell! We didn’t want it like this!!! (that said I hear this CRDM3 game is both funny and incredibly on sale right now) store.steampowered.com/app/2116510/...

Polygon covered CRDM3 and this summary is so nice. :') Thank you @cassmarshall.bsky.social!

I'm on the Indie Game Movement podcast this week talking about starting up a studio, working on too many games at once, and trying to be excellent to folks. www.rengenmarketing.com/podcast/game...

More match-3 games should have shotguns! I’m always saying this!!

Please fund indies and AA studios.

For no particular reason, let's look at how much money EA execs made recently aftermath.site/electronic-a...

our very own @adibabidan.bsky.social released their team’s WHEELJAM game, proving that i’m not the only one tremendously late on their jam goals in my case it’s actually reviewing them, which i will finish tonight so help me anyway go play ZERO.initialize() here: adibabidan.itch.io/zero-initial...

chocobos are basically dinosaurs anyway

Food for thought. External QA, animators, voice actors, and musicians deserve to be part of the narrative of game makers.

I am one of the affected members of the team. If you or anyone you know is looking for an experienced game/level designer, please let me know. 💔

hell yeah

please look forward to the wholesome direct (THIS IS HUGE FOR US)

looked up a guy who i used to work with who was big into libertarian politics and it turns out he’s in jail for exactly what you’d expect yikes

HEY! CRDM3 is really goshdang close to 100 positive reviews on Steam! If you’ve played it and haven’t left a review, please do—it makes a huge difference in the first week. And if you haven’t played it, it’s ON LAUNCH SALE! CMON! store.steampowered.com/app/2116510/...

I didn't forget @lambhoot.bsky.social I'm always up for the challenge #putyourphoneinyourmouth2025

After 7ish hours I reached the end of Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3. There are still paths left untrodden, so I will play more of it. Really enjoyed the game and am looking forward to walking down that clown hallway to its end.

The FBI just arrested a sitting judge.

Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion III is good times so far.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who has played and left a review for Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3! Reviews in launch week make such a big difference so if you haven't yet, it would mean the world to us. store.steampowered.com/app/2116510/...

The reviews are in - and it sounds like Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3 did some dang special things!! (You can still pick it up today at a big ol’ discount, too 👀) store.steampowered.com/app/2116510/...

meta did more layoffs today bc of course they did; why make anything worthwhile when they could generate ai slop and destroy democracy? much more lucrative

because the economy is a mess. because making shit for the algorithm is soul crushing. because the work never ends. I've started a podcast with the brilliant @anamariecox.bsky.social where we talk, and I mean REALLY talk, about money. starting 5/7 wherever you pod youtu.be/bF3GMRWw9js?...

I'm in awe at how @strangescaffold.bsky.social turned a match-3 RPG satirizing Resident Evil into a powerful story about the art we lose every year to cancellations and mismanagement. CRDM3 is a love letter to the game's we'll never know and that is something special. Read: bit.ly/VGG-CRDM3
