REPOST if you stand with AOC!

I expect to see more of this happening. @netease.bsky.social is particularly ruthless when it comes to profits. #gamedevelopment #layoffs #gamedev #marvalrivals

Houses are built on strong foundations - much like trust. The resilience it builds is crucial for navigating unknown territory. Teams with trust feel safe to experiment and innovate. #Leadership #Trust #GameDev #TeamWork #EmotionalIntelligence #IndieGames

Shame that 'Don't Starve Together' from was canceled. I'd really be curious if this move is to refocus their game platform efforts due to poor adoption. Show us the data, @netflix.com !

Your level of detail and focus in conversation is a lot like zooming in and out of map. Knowing what's called for at each level will give you better poise and stronger outcomes. #gamedevelopment #gameproduction #production #leadership #indie

"Zero Days" or, as Seinfeld put it, "Don’t break the chain"⛓️—it’s all about momentum. What small improvements are you stacking up this year? www.linkedin.com/feed/update/... #Productivity #GameDev #ZeroDays

Makes sense in an environment vying for attention that #Fortnite and other live service titles dominate. Sunk cost in spent time/money and comfort zones for players. Do you feel this tracks?

In the iron triangle of cost, scope and time: China has the advantage in cost across the board. I think we'll see many more games coming from the region as investments slowly shift from western to eastern development. #gamedevelopment #chinesegames #trends

Astro Bot deserves ALL of the game awards. Let this be a signal that it's possible to out Nintendo #Nintendo.

Ever been in a convo that’s derailing? Gauge the temp - is it hot or cold? 🔥❄️ #leadership #emotionalintelligence #conflictresolution #softskills #gamedevelopment

In other news; Sony has discovered that incentivizing players, instead of forcing them, is a better way to grow account sign-ups. What a concept! #gaming #ps5 #gamenews #playstation #console #sony #latetotheparty

Seeing @epicgamesoffical.bsky.social mobile store is so nice. Not just that they're debuting free mobile games, but that the app store/play store have another competitor. It's better for players in the end. 🎮

Over on the @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social Discord we've been showing off and playing with our work-in-progress digital library (soon!), this is going to be such a great resource. I just asked it to show me every video game magazine in our collection in chronological order that says "Metroidvania."

Passion fuels game dev, but clashes happen. Recovery isn’t avoiding conflict—it’s owning missteps with vulnerability. Own mistakes. Be honest. Embrace imperfection. Empathy in conflict builds trust and stronger bonds. Relationships thrive when we lead with #empathy - in and out of #gamedev.
