CGE | Why we created the new licensed version of Codenames

Links for the Codenames Harry Potter announcement from CGE, and their response when challenged why they’re working with a bigot to make a board game.

Original post: bsky.app/profile/code...

Their response: www.czechgames.com/news/why-we-...

Them blocking en masse: clearsky.app/codenamesgam...

In board game land, a large and previously respected publisher decided to collab with JK Rowling to publish Codenames Harry Potter edition. 🤢

Not only did CGE double down, right now they’re actively blocking folks that expressed disappointment, including trans game designers.

Call for a voice actor!

We’re looking to cast a female actress for our next game. Vocal age 25-35, Northern England accent, preferably Mancunian, incl. Pakistani and Indian Mancunian accents.

That’s you? Then send a sample to info@inklestudios.com, marked “casting call”.

Paid gig, ofc

<3 RTs!

LinkedIn is not a dystopian hellscape because it's not a speculative exaggeration of the worst aspects of our society: it's a reflection of them.

Hello friends 🐾
Today we're talking a little about care, community and the second of our game projects (with the temporary name "Riscrittora" = "The Rewriter").
We send to you all the best energy we can on those terrible days.

The reason we make games about immigrant food is because food is is the first step in connecting with culture. People will accept immigrant food before they accept the people that make it. You can’t separate the two. We got to celebrate our game in LA this week despite the anti-immigrant assholes.

Meet the characters ❤️
Today we present the characters that will accompany us in the Loop project: are you ready? 🎉
Paws up 🐾

What a group of queer nerds can do in a hot sunday? obviously: talk about game design, dogs and masculinity.

One thing that Outerloop Games consistently keep doing is to make us salivate both for the food and at least a couple of characters too. Yummy, can't wait to try this out!

A "Run pipeline" dialog: Select parameters below and manually run the pipeline Branch/tag: main Release Type: test (selected), prod Advanced options: Variables (This pipeline has no defined variables) Stages to run (Run as configured) Resources (Use latest version of all resources)

The end result is very useful though: one click and a couple of knobs to configure are enough to have a working build that our testers and us can check out, and for all our platforms!
Would you like us to share more details about how we set this system up?

A list of 15 different commits about the same thing, Azure Piplines, 8 of which are failed, 4 have no success status, and 2 succeeded.

Pipelines are a very useful tool to automatize all these operations, and reduce the errors to a minimum. Setting them up can be quite tricky though, as our git history can confirm 😳.

An Azure Devops pipeline, showing four stages: "Extract platform information" (22s) connected to "Build" (which is made up of "build linux - 5m 52s", "build windows - 5m 20s", "build webgl - 21m 59s" and "build macos - 6m 21s"), and "Build" connected to both "Tag" (11s) and "Deploy" (1m 31s)

The best use of computers is to make them do the boring, annoying things, and leave the creative and interesting parts to us. So, let's make them compile, test and deploy our game, while we focus on creating it! 🪅

Ma grazie 🥰

Hello pals <3
We are working on two projects on those months. One has the temporary name “loop” (surprise: you are stuck in a time loop). It will be made entirely of cardboard, and we wanted to share our experiments with you. What do you think? <3

I'm annoyed mainly because we do talk a big game about systemic collapse, but humsns hold onto systems with tooth and nail. The pandemic didn't usher in a new normal, we're not adapting to climate change, we're not thinking capitalism over, because we can't imagine the adjustments required.
