I guess that's a valid start point. "If Nintendo is not willing to do a new Star Fox, I'll make one myself". The thing is I don't want to make an iteration of something. I want to make something entirely new, even if that's not really possible

I’ve boxed myself into thinking every videogame I create has to be radically original. The result is chronical creative paralysis.
Meanwhile, I see others iterate on familiar ideas and still manage to make them feel new.

What is the trick?

I had similar interactions when looking for spaces to organise game dev meets. Some of them said they were open for cultural events but when I mentioned video games would answer back that it was really JUST for culture.
It's lack of knowledge/misconception/prejudice mixed with gatekeeping.

I entered a random art museum yesterday.
It's free admission and the concept is to give a space for artists to take risks without thinking about profit.

I mention that me and some friends produce interactive installations, playful media, etc.
Answer: "oh, we are really just focused on art"

Employee 925 is on a 30% discount right now, the cheapest it has ever been at 3.49 USD/EUR.

Employee 925 - João Eiras

Last week I had the pleasure to talk with Level Up Stories about Employee 925, indie vs AAA and a bit of my development philosophy.

You can listen to the episode in the link below and be sure to follow for the next episodes.

It's worse than any of those options. As with any "AI" all it does is digest input (both what the player presses, the last few frames and maybe some world building prompts) and output something. It doesn't fully understand context, there are no real mechanics, any persistency or anything like that.

Hello, yes I did!

"THIS IS FINE" addresses the normalization of emotional performance during periods of collective harm. The subject is not the events themselves, but the obligation to appear unaffected by them.

I can't believe Employee 925 was snubbed by @thegameawards.com 😡😡😡

Don't be like Geoff, play my clever game for clever people 🧐

For more reasons than one, "and Roger" hits very close to home.

A perfect game if such things do exist.

I will be at DevGAMM Lisbon later in the week.

Ping me if you want to grab a beer/coffee ✋
