an underrated game dev skill IMO is being able to realize “this person and I have been discussing (thing) for months, and yet i think we have slightly different versions of (thing) in our heads. let’s get together and talk about that in excruciating detail”

Like even if this all ends without an escalation from the present level of bloodshed Trump and his administration should be held accountable for the threat alone. Making this threat, on its own, is a crime against humanity.

Yay. $100k is bankruptcy for pretty much everyone. But it’s ok cos they made steam $30k before they folded.

Now would be a good time for anyone who wants to learn about recent Iranian history to read this. It is well worth your time and money (I am sure your local library has it if you don’t want to purchase it).

When we started developing We Grew Up in War, we hoped the war in Ukraine will be over well before we finish. Our game is dedicated to all those, whose lives were affected by the war that now enters its fourth year, instigated by the cruel Russian regime.

I think most game dev teams underestimate how damaging slow workflows are to the ultimate quality of their game. If it takes 5 minutes to launch the game and see your changes, I think your game is going to be MUCH worse than the alternate timeline where it took 1 minute

Jesus, can you hear me? Good, the comms are working. Now, you're gonna need to run if you want to evade those Roman soldiers. Hold down A to sprint. Go ahead and try it. ... Good work! You just might be the savior yet. Now pick up that AR-15 and let's do some target practice.

When it comes to climate change, "games can empower the belief that people can make a difference," says Volha Kapitonava of Positive Impact Games. "The key ingredient that makes this possible, in my opinion, is joy."

I wrote an Intro to Puzzle Design article🧩 This covers the usual points I discuss with people who are working on their first puzzle game. Given how some concepts can be quite abstract, I think a written piece allows everyone to digest it at their own pace.

the thing about "just make it exist, make it good later" is that unfortunately three key challenges in game development are 1. deciding what should exist 2. deciding when to make things good 3. deciding what 'good' means

Mainstream games coverage makes little sense when mainstream people have no idea how to buy a game any more. “Normal” people don’t visit the App Store for fun; they don’t know steam exists and it’s scary and overwhelming if you find it. They know about switches but those are “for kids”.

free advice for game developers: try to make the next smash hit video game, such as grand theft auto. if you do, you'll be making more than just a video game – you'll be making millions of dollars

Production is one of the areas in games where teams tend to have a significantly higher percentage of non-men in these roles, so I think that definitely is a factor. Production is often treated like the fun police or “mom” and that attitude doesn’t help get the game out the door.

Wonderful! If you’re somebody interested in using games in historical education, the last lesson of this tutorial series explores just that – using our games and adding a bunch of resources. Thanks so much for your work, means a lot to us.
