It’s…a really tough time right now for entry level folks. Have they done game jams or projects? It might be good to have them in participate in some and get some projects in their portfolio. It’ll show whether they like the work and if they do, have stuff to show when applying to places.
Whew! Glad to hear about long term good!
Holy crap. Hope you’re ok Erik!
Wait….does the lighthouse have a skull?!?!
Oh no. I’m so sorry to hear that. Hope that no more rounds of it come to you. It’s not great out there right now :(
Sigh, if we find folks a year or so from now lamenting why it takes so long and so much resources to make a video game, we can most definitely point to all the recent layoffs leading to an experience drain in the industry.
Ok. Enough time has gone from shipping where I feel like I could play a long game. Diving into Metaphor (I know super late), multiple hours in and I’m just waiting to level up social links. That’s in the game…right?
Releasing very soon! You seriously have to experience the pot making, it's so very cool.
Really great talk! The world artists did some magical work. The talk also shows off some neat @p1xelcoder.bsky.social tech!
Does the new place have a Taco Bell nearby?
W….wait….they don’t? How do they poo?
This looks really cool!
Oh no!!! Hoping for healing!!
Hahhaahaha
Ahhh. Too real!!!!
Hahah. Very much like
“Oh! That’s a one line fix”
Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.
“How…..how did this ever work?!??!”
Oh no! So sorry to hear that!!!
Yes. In the Before Time.
Definitely does! And the character design the team is coming up with is really amazing. Looking forward to when you can play it!
The pot making tech is incredible. I'm excited for folks to play this game and super excited for the kiln team!
OH! That's the name!!! The line "Make me a beer" is still stuck in my brain after all these years. Thanks for the link!
This is really good! I love this part youtu.be/6PIg71aayEE?... where they discuss the development of the light aiming mechanic. Senior Gameplay Programmer Keenan Patterson did a heroic job tackling this very hard problem on the programming side and Lee talks through some of the complexities here.
It says do not throw away, so it seems like you should use it...
OH! I played this too! What was the name of it?
Ahhh. Pinging @aaronmjacobs.com
This is awesome! Loving the bits of developer insight that you're providing in this video! I can't get over HOW folks find these, and then not get into a stuck state and is able to use it to get through the game quickly. It's amazing.
Devin.... my goggle full of tears will be for you! I am SERIOUSLY impressed that they can do all those things and the game is stable and doesn't encounter a blocker. That's great work Devin!!!
But...we haven't tested that yet Cait!!!! WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAPPEN!
OH!!! OH NO!!!! My heart....it...it cannot take it..... Also my goggles will be full......of tears.....
