We've raised our anchors and are charting a course back home to NYC!

Oh hey, I am quoted heavily in this, and the @gdfl.bsky.social is a hot topic of conversation. 🔥🔥🔥

Do you work in games? Are you tired of corporate greed taking over our industry? Do you miss when industry events were by workers, for workers?

literally had this conversation with @ludodraconisvt.bsky.social while working out feedback we got on Shootlanzer's how to play screen.
In order, her interpretation of the feedback, my plan for how to animate it, her final suggestion, & the current WIP (see next post for animated GIF).

Leona Almeida, the main character of Shootlanzer, on an abstract background vaguely resembling a forest. She is wearing red and cyan armor patterned after an orchid mantis.
so, last thing i have to say about this whole larian thing for now, with a story about @munitygames.bsky.social and Shootlanzer.
the armor of our main character, leona (concept art by @solarisyuna.bsky.social), is themed and patterned after (iirc) an orchid mantis. (1/4)
A Love-letter to classics R-Type and Gradius, Shootlanzer is a fast-paced, 2D shoot’em up⚡
🕹️ Play Shootlanzer at NYC Indie Dev Night this Thursday at OS-NYC

In case you needed formal confirmation because I keep forgetting to put that on the website, uh...
Yeah @munitygames.bsky.social does not and will not use GenAI.
I'd rather run into a trash compactor than use it.
I can confirm straight up that both I personally and @munitygames.bsky.social do not use AI in our design or development processes. We don't want to and don't need to.
Junghun Lee is blatantly lying straight to your face by saying this. The number isn't zero but it's not everyone. Don't believe it.
Ahoy, Mateys~!
Munity is excited to announce that we are part of the inaugural cohort of the Game Design Future Lab at NYU Tandon!
We're super excited to work alongside some incredible devs and build our businesses together to create a sustainable game dev environment in NYC!
