Blue Prince time let's goooooooo

Absolutely heartbreaking. The last few years have been brutal for the industry and to see it touch a studio as storied as Cyan is awful.

So...Pinterest is just garbage now, yeah? Just a bunch of AI slop?

For our first skeet or whatever, we'd really love to provide more financial support for our GDC scholar cohort this year- to kick it up a bit, the board will personally match up to $5000 in donations. Help us support the future of game dev animation- no donation is too small! animfund.org/donate/

Me but with Signalis.

This goes hard as hell

I continue to insist that halome.nu is one of the best websites ever created.

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

Are XSens suit rentals a thing? I want to try it out before I spend all that cash.

I once had a really well-known client ignore an invoice and ghost me for almost 45 days until I threatened to sue 🙃 Turns out they weren't even paying their own people on time and now they don't exist anymore. Absolute joke company to work with. Pay your invoices.

Go buy Alex's game. He's very good at making them.

Damn, the opening of Signal is has GRABBED me. I haven't played an opening like that in a long time.

I accidently went to Twitter, saw the literal stupidest hot takes I have ever seen, and now I'm sad. Media comprehension is at an all time low and it's really a bummer.

Listen. I've worked on Many Games at this point. I have shipped Very Few. Making video games is a Herculean effort, getting a game over the finish line is difficult, and we should all be loved and adored and paid lots of moneys.

Curse of the Golden Idol is an incredible game. Competent puzzles with a pleasant difficulty curve, an interesting story, and such a unique loop. It reminds me of Obra Dinn in how much onus it puts on the player to solve the situation and think critically with no hand holding. Highly recommend.

Name a game with a 10/10 soundtrack 🎵

Ea-nāṣir is the recipient of the world’s oldest complaint letter. He’s reportedly the worst businessman of the 18th century, a mediocre conman whose actions should have him put out of business. Is this fair? Here’s a thread on the most up-to-date research on this captivating figure.

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

re: AI job openings the more we tolerate business owners pushing us into smaller and smaller roles, made effective by cheaper manufacturing science like genAI, the more we become complicit in our own destitution We cannot simply allow genAI to be a “natural progression” of the industry

I don't think I have the audience here for football, but holy cow that Browns v Steelers game was incredible. A nail biter from start to finish in a literal whiteout. It doesn't get better than that.

I just got laid off. Gutted. I loved Heart Machine. They were good to me. My only regret is that I couldn't stay. Character rigger of 12+ yrs, 2 GDC talks, 1 Gnomon talk, VES nominee, etc. Spider-Man PS4, The Order:1886, Hyper Light Breaker. All info here: tinyurl.com/3ccdcmdc #gamedevjobs

Yes this is an echo chamber. I just happen to love the sound of my own voice (and those around me you're all very cool people thank you for joining this chamber it's a nice chamber)
