I've been VORACIOUSLY playing and cannot recommend enough @iridiumstudios.bsky.social 's People of Note and @outerloopgames.bsky.social 's Dosa Divas -- you turn-based RPG sickos need to get in on this, you can even get them in a bundle on Steam! store.steampowered.com/bundle/72037...
YES YOU DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO❤️
"Venerable" undersells the sheer powerhouse that is @duckvalentine.bsky.social - this is an incredible get for Kotaku and I am SO excited to see what an unleashed Reb does ❤️

@alexaray.bsky.social joined us for the latest episode of the Game Developer Podcast! @rhodeswrites.bsky.social, @azurecoffin.bsky.social, and @funambulism.com all get shoutouts on this episode too.
got around to listen to @official-aias.bsky.social podcast with @qdork.bsky.social and really resonated with how Jenny articulated designing mundane tasks in Consume Me as being intuitive. it's cool hearing how other people approach making memoir!Great work @alexaray.bsky.social 💗 (play consume me)
In the last few weeks I've spoken to two executives at a major streamer - one in adult animation, one in preschool content for both animation and live action - and both basically told me the same thing: they're looking for YouTube success stories with huge subscriber bases. 🧵
👀
This is hands-down one of my favorite interviews I have ever done. Curled up on a couch overlooking Las Vegas, @qdork.bsky.social gave me a very open and raw look at her journey with Consume Me and wise words for the future. She is truly a gem among us!
My last writeup from GDC! @alexaray.bsky.social and @adamdolin.bsky.social gave a great talk on how complex narrative systems can increase engagement and help your game compete in our overloaded media environment.

just this week:
-- OpenAI killed Sora
-- Disney subsequently cancelled its investment in OpenAI
-- Wikipedia is now banning LLM-generated content
...tell me again how this is all "inevitable" and you have to "get on board or get left behind"?
why do we need so many sacks
I’m shook
Oh shit
philip pullman literally still exists, and his whole thing is that he wants to kill god. you know, in case you needed a book series for children to continue to go nuts for.
What you think of the quality of HP, whether you think it's bad or good or embarrassing or important, doesn't matter. What matters is its author is making money off it to funnel into stripping trans people of their rights. I'd give up literally anything if that was the consequence of loving it.
this is what video games are all about
games used to look good instead of like computer movies for dorks
Turns out being just an idea guy isn't much of a skill when everyone can do it.
Hiiii, would like to join please!
Free advice:
- Stop hiring the same four dudes to open and shut studio after studio and walk away with buyouts and large severance packages while the people left behind are destitute.
- The millionaires at the top of these companies are ruining the industry, not the working devs.
- Tim Sweeney stop.
if manning up means using AI then brother i am pussying out
On #GameMakersNotebook, @alexaray.bsky.social chats with @benstarr.bsky.social about his role in the DICE Award winning game Expedition 33, balancing authenticity and restraint, acting in a game filled with intimacy in Date Everything!, and his observations on the difficulties many devs face today.
oh it can be arranged
