Oh hey, you're participating too?

I never beat OOT. I've finished Majora multiple times though and it's a joy every time.

if you are unfamiliar with spies vs mercs, you should familiarize yourself by watching this trailer and wishlisting the game. incredibly fun game mode being revived by a solid af indie team

I think I've finally hit the point where I'm creating just to create and really want to rein it in and find a means to the end

anyone have any tips on that?

Cheaters think everyone cheats, and people who cheat at writing by using AI think the same.

If you don't like writing, don't be a writer!

Marketing is primarily about making the right game. Not a good game (but that's part of it), more making the right game that sells itself.

Everything we call "marketing" only works if you get that step right, is basically pointless if you don't, and you can then even skip the "marketing" sometimes.

Hey cis people: instead of spending today going "ohhh woooow you people are soooooo braaave" while forgetting to cancel your HBO Max subscription or whatever, why not participate in today's most delicious of festivities?

Game workers do not receive any residuals/royalties on shipped titles and shipping bonuses are increasingly rare. There's also no guarantee that your name will even be in the credits if you leave before ship, and studios will use this to keep you compliant.

All of this can and should change.

What football will look like in the future Something is terribly wrong. Something is terribly wrong. Something is terribly wrong. Something is terribly wrong.

We all seem to have forgotten one of the most truly delightful and surprising indie interactive fiction drops of the last decade.

17776 is ostensibly about football, which is why at first glance I thought I wouldn't like it. But it really makes me smile, and the world could use that right now.

I was the one Percy Jackson kid among Harry Potter kids at school ;-;

...i just shipped my college transcripts overseas through DHL 😬

unfriendly reminder that jkr donated £70k that went towards the changing of actual law in the u.k to define what a woman is and isn't. if you're at all a harry potter fan still despite all this, then i urge you to get the fuck over it and quickly

americanos matam americanamente um americano com armas americanas seguindo uma ideologia americana criada por americanos

americanos: parece um país de TERCEIRO MUNDO!!!

there's a weird almost-comfort in the fact that the half of the industry using ai, literally announcing "i am a useless hack", is almost entirely the half you already knew that about. could be a better job market for the rest of us as a result when there are jobs again at all

If you were someone pinging critics with ‘it’s just lighting cleanup’ a few days ago, I need you to use this as a jumping off point to thinking about your susceptibility to talking points and marketing rhetoric more generally. It was right there in front of all of our faces.

I have to credit @blurrycrockpot.bsky.social for sending me this meme during GDC. It’s become Aimee’s and my whole personality

oh, beautiful. thanks!

Hey, @passivestar.bsky.social, I'm curious, how'd you get UI renders like these?

"attention span is getting worse so make sure you reinforce that in your UX" how about you go fuck yourself actually

wonder how much genre plays into this. If you're making a friendsnack (that's my preferred term for "friendslop") games then maybe?? meanwhile Patho3 releases to rave reviews which is 80% reading

...should I start calibrating displays for a living?

that's the one! we just call em makki ki roti lol

as intended tbh

Oh saag rules, especially with corn flatbread (as in flour made from milled corn, not cornflour, I think the term you'd be looking for is "makki ka atta")
