Pretty sure many of us were following the development of this game for longer than it ended up being available upon release. This industry is a mess. Pirate the past, preserve the present, fund the future.

In gamedev, we joke about how we shouldn't care so much because "we ain't curing cancer" so chill, right? But you know what? These last few weeks reminded me that the Arts, esp accessible Art like videogames is incredibly important because games have a big place in sculpting cultural norms.

The worst advice I got early in my career was that being big on social media would get me game design jobs. It was my portfolio, mentor and IRL relationships that got me my big breaks.

A bit over a year ago I had to evacuate my family home due to a fire that destroyed 2,600 hectares in Valencia. A few months ago I was checking in with family because of the DANA that killed 224 people in my city. I've been hearing horrifying stories from people close to me since.

Traitors fact that changes how you watch it. The edit is done in two sections. The first edit is of the round table. Once that’s locked, they go back and make the round table seem inevitable, by editing the day’s footage to set up what you see at the end. That’s why it seems narratively strong.

YELLOW PAINT POST! When we first showed 2000:1: A Space Felony, people struggled identifying what objects were interactive. The game is visually minimalist, and what sets interactive objects apart is this clean yet bold "unlit" look. The dead astronaut you see here is an example.

The most surreal thing to happen to me in 2024 was telling none other than the members of ✨️TWICE✨️ what to say in a video. Hearing K-Pop royalty speak words I had penned down was not something I ever expected to happen in my life.

Really, this was developed in 4 months which is wild. 🫣 The first 2 months was myself and our GM interviewing a lot of streamers, defining our pillars and having brainstorm times. But the fun really began when the rest of the team joined. After the event I'll share some behind the scenes! 🥑

as a creator of games, its so easy to get stuck in systems, geometry, interface, minutiae practicalities. for me a large part of game design eventually comes down to directing player emotions. curiosity, happiness, excitement, nervousness… but also dread, frustration, boringness, anger. 🧵 #gamedev
