30 DAYS TO GO UNTIL RUBATO RELEASES ON MARCH 20!

#indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #rubatogame

Administrative tasks are the dullest, most tedious part of running dev teams and publishing. Fortunately, we're nearly done with all of that for Rubato (except for Xbox backend issues...), with launch just over a month away. Are you keeping up with the countdown at @rubato.world?

There's a Squirrel Appreciation Day? And it's today?

Stealth's Shorts Ep 1: Continuation YouTube video by Stealth

It's been a while...

To continue with the example, the programmers, artists, musicians, story writers, etc who actually make the games aren't Activision. The PR people who pretend to be your friends aren't Activision. Activision is Activision. They are a business, full-stop. "We" are at their mercy

You don't tell your boss what you're going to do, they tell you what to do and you do it, or you don't have a job anymore. When a company is this big, bureaucracy separates the boss from the real world and real people. In practice, they tend to be unreachable and unmovable

Headcannon is a "Developer" because that's what we do. We are a small team whose name happens to be the same as the registered DBA. Activision, on the other hand, are a massive corporation with "business experts" managing and controlling smaller teams making the games for them

Regarding current Activision discourse - Can we stop this please?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...
Calling companies "Developers"?
That or call the teams of skilled talent doing the real work something else (non-demeaning) that separates them from their CEO/board/shareholder overlords

No luck yet but I want to make sure I'm not personally responsible for misinformation

Apparently Garry Kitchen's Game Maker was, in fact, released for IBM PC. Between me, Garry, and a friend I have working with the MADE (www.themade.org), we just still haven't found it. It's very strange

Guessing that's a "No"? I'm wondering if the idea that there ever was a PC version is misinformation, especially since I can't find any evidence other than raw platform lists, and the two confirmed platforms both use the 6502 processor vs the PC's x86. There are a few other "Game Maker"s for DOS too

Anyone happen to have a copy of Garry Kitchen's Game Maker for DOS? I had it on AppleII growing up and got nostalgic when seeing Garry and Dan at SoCal Gaming Expo. I took a look back at the Apple version and got a copy of the Commodore one to check out. I can't find it for DOS, though...

Headcannon SoCal Gaming Expo Reel YouTube video by Headcannon

At last month's @socalgamingexpo, our booth had a tv showing footage of our upcoming games along with some first-look footage of the integrated editing tools in our Methyl game engine.

The video is now available to view on youtube, so check it out!

Prepping for and attending SoCal Gaming Expo was exhausting, but fun and well-worth it. A lot of people stopped by the booth (thank you!), and our panel had a pretty sizeable audience and was well-received. Hopefully we'll have the opportunity to do this again!

It's #RWX24 week! Starting this Friday, stop by our booth at
@RetroWorldExpo to try out three of our upcoming games:

Sondro Gomez- Cellar Chateaux & Headcannon

Rubato- dconn, console ports by Headcannon

Simon "Stealth" Thomley will be hosting a panel titled "From Headcanon to Headcannon : Game Dev for Fun and Profit" at #RWX24, which will cover his journey from hobbyist to head of his own game development business! It's scheduled for Sunday Aug 25th at 2pm in panel room A

We'll be hosting a booth and panel at this year's Retro World Expo! Stop by on any day during #RWX24 to meet @hcstealth.bsky.social and @mrpoe.bsky.social and try out 3 upcoming games developed and/or soon-to-be published by Headcannon. Panel hosted by Stealth, TBA. More details coming soon!

I do know Rouge also fights one of their machines, but I find it reasonable to believe that wasn't a factor being considered when the song was created
