This makes me so angry - because this translates to "I too would like to make a lot of money" But let's be real. You would not have published Balatro. You want a lightning strike- fund 20 games. Fund 30 games. Fund so many damn games that maybe you find the right field to be struck by lightning.

I frequently say that more AAA game devs need to play Candy Crush. Because when you talk about what CC does well, this is it. The game is an absolute delight to engage with, even with the most miniscule interactions. It's a mindset of UX/UI that goes beyond functional and into sparking joy.

sphinx: c'mon. oedipus: i just feel like this is an unfair riddle. sphinx: answer it. oedipus: like there's really no context to work from. sphinx: answer 'what, exactly, is an adventure game'. oedipus: like are we talking Uncharted or Monkey Island, or- sphinx: no hints. answer.

😵‍💫 it's finally done! I'm introducing some high-level tools that you can leverage with just one line of code. It will automatically correct for the display scale and size things based on your theme size and the native resolution. Spare yourself the pain I went through 😭 #gamedev #indiedev #godot

the zoot suit Samus meme is interesting because Tom & Jerry's Hep Kats (1943) is really the first "metroidvania." The early route into the girl's house is closed off, so Tom has to collect pieces of more powerful gear and then backtrack. I am making this post specifically to piss off 2-3 game devs.

I don’t care if you’re a relative, a fantasy novelist, or an elected official, transphobia is manufactured outrage and transphobe are trash. None of America’s problems are cause by trans people. None. But a LOT are caused by bigots.

The Dutch have dozens of unique words for different types of water. Desert cultures have hundreds of words for sand. Arctic cultures have countless words for different types of snow and ice. And US English has hundreds of words to describe rich people taking money from poor people.

Just occurred to me that Square has spent decades adjusting and optimizing the Final Fantasy formula only to arrive at the same feature list as Chrono Trigger.

Around this date marks the casual beginnings of our studio, Arf Games, 9 years ago. From a very solo-dev endeavour coming from the wreckage of a failed studio to a full blown worker owned co-op. Quite the journey indeed! Looking forward to showing what we're cooking (and our new image/identity 😉)

I took this interview in the second quarter of last year, but I will say I'm fairly proud I managed to get the industry mantra of "shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less" into the mainstream press. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/26/a...
