Oh to have your shape languages tho

I'm an artist that doesn't know how to escape her own shape language a lot of the time.

I would have called the game "Inochi Life"

you and me both!!

It's seeming like they won't, from what I've heard? I'm going to enjoy this game vicariously either way.

happy Tomodachi Life eve for those who celebrate.

🏳️‍⚧️DEAR TRANS CREATIVES🏳️‍⚧️
I’ll be doing my annual TDOV trans starter pack tomorrow.

Why am I posting now? I need 7 of you to reply here today so I have the pack ready for tomorrow.

If you want in & I know you, you can just reply with a hello

If I don’t, please share your work & what you do. Thanks!

Yeah, I'm trying to think of who else worked on the game - I think it might have been the short lived San Francisco PopCap office, primarily? geez, it feels like forever ago now.

hey there! honestly I did very little work on that game, and anything I've shared online is all the work I did most likely - I appreciate the enthusiasm!

omg excited, it looks gorgeous, and I'm so proud of Januel, he was my classmate and look at him go!!

Let this be a lesson to the rest of the companies hawking AI shit, you make a novelty and a novelty is only novel for so long.

Godddddd...

that's kind of scary to imagine, and also knowing that some companies are using AI to sort through applicants??

8 months is rough, I'm sorry :( my dude's been laid off for well over a year.. he's had a couple of interviews..

I'm sorry, it's incredibly discouraging for those who are looking. But I hope you won't give up. At the same time, do whatever it is you need to do to get by.

Yeah, I have no idea what I would tell a student today..

I can't pretend I know for sure, but I think the old ways aren't working, and the investor money that would be put towards games have been sunk into LLMs because it's "safer". So much investor money has gone down the drain on games without the promised returns.

the infinite growth promise is seeming more and more elusive.
there are some changes that needed to happen. teams getting too big before concrete roadmaps are laid out. giant copycat projects getting built that take half a decade to produce, only for the chased trend to die off

Oh geez, yes, I think about you guys often too :(

distracting them with LLMs like a cat laser toy!

there are enough unemployed game devs to create their own brand new industry.

the game dev unemployment pool grows and grows.

I wonder how it is to animate scratchily in CSP...

fwiw cute outfit, looks like something I'd wear, and also love your new icon!

wake me up! I can't wake up! save maayyyyy

I think you're on the money with that first thought. Overwatch feels closer to Dreamworks/Disney to me actually? It feels like it has a broadly appealing style, or tries to.. as a lot of Blizzard games do.

did it make you hungry? :) made me hungry!

Especially around army based games, there are some theories about why that might be....
