Whoo! This seems like a genuinely neat app. And if it's fully funded, then I'll get paid a little bit to be one of its panel of experts that you can pick to skew your recommendations towards. I can't legally say that I will make you more attractive to your preferred gender, but I totally will.

22 years ago… before Eberron… I was lead designer on an MMORPG called Lost Continents. It was pulp adventure—like Indiana Jones and Uncharted (but before Uncharted!). I just stumbled on a book of concept art and thought I’d share some images this week.

With the massive game industry layoffs, scammers are out in force to rip off desperate game devs. If you're approached about a job opportunity: Verify the position on the official studio site, if possible Don't share info like your SSN or banking numbers *DON'T WORK FOR FREE!

If you're looking around wondering how we got such great games like Baldurs Gate 3 and Tears of the Kingdom I want you to consider it is because of companies that retain their talent. Those teams were able to make those games because they got to stick together.

Remember, when people talk about AAA studios, it refers to the sound of the screaming during the #gamedev process. AA studios have slightly less screaming. AAA+ is all the screaming plus a little bit extra. Indie means the devs scream independently.

IGF judging time is maybe my favorite time of the video game year. Besides having an excuse to explore dozens of games, I really learn a lot by thinking about all these good, bad, finished, and unfinished projects. And I always find something amazing I would otherwise have missed.

The number of times I have written a writer back after a draft and asked "did you run this through grammarly?" because it was both wrong and weird is TOO DAMN HIGH. It is not worth the money, and it's making a lot of people worse at their jobs.

Yep. I think a lot about "pinch" the concept I first learned from mobile game design that by making something inconvenient, you can charge people to make that inconvenience go away. And once you learn to spot pinch in all aspects of society, you can't unsee it.
