the sudden realization "oh id be a poison themed gym leader with lots of annoying status effects the players bitch about online for multiple years"

Runnah UESC wants to move bedtime up an houha! MIDA says no sleep til revolution. Stay up late. Midnight oil. Dusk til dawn. Cock a doodle do or die. You know what to do QUEST In a single run: 🔳 Play your gameboy under the covers and don’t get caught 🔳 Pretend to be asleep when Orion checks on you

MARATHON VENDOR: You have no rights. You are a fetid creature, born into agony. Neither the day you were conceived nor the day you are murdered will be remembered. Smash three security cameras on Perimeter and you may be useful a single time before God strikes you down. ME: aye aye captain haha

being allergic to metal fucking sucks because AAAAAA did you know a lot of silicone is cast in nonhypoallergenic metal??? this brought to you by the burns i now have on my thighs from thigh high silicone grip pads ;;-;

ok maybe this is just me wanting to be stabbed talking but the marathon finisher anim is kinda 🫠

Dear Rook, I love you. If you’ve come this far, that’s all I can say. I love you and I love you and I love you, on battlefields, in shadows, in fading ink, on cold ice splashed with the blood of seals. In the rings of trees. In the wreckage of a planet crumbling to space..

hey the other crabs and I noticed you from across the bucket and we really like your vibe

every time i go to a club im like 'i will probably have a bad time' and every time i dance my heart out and have a great one and then learn zero lessons about it

scientists across the globe are trying to make a kind of girl who isnt sick

They say talk shit get hit but I have done a lot of talking shit and surprisingly little getting hit, what am i doing wrong reddit

It's #WhatAGameDevLooksLike time...! ✨ Always so thankful we do this because its so good to feel connected to my peers who love games. I'm just a girl who loves design and making action games feel real real good ⭐

Hey sportsfans what base is lusting after your friends OCs

a helpful rook followed us into outpost and we got that guy soooo much stuff. fuck yeah. love wins.

Every year, #WhatAGameDevLooksLike reminds me that even though the industry is tough right now, there are still a ton of people who are passionate about bringing joy to people with their craft. It's a small (but persistent!) ray of hope in these Trying Times (TM).

running around outpost i always expect the ODST music to kick in

A big draw of the game-design-by-A/B-testing type thinking is that it absolves you from having to form your own opinions & taste. It allows you to outsource the most difficult part of any creative endeavour: actually believing in your vision.

Seconding my good friend M here. Tell me about your forum or strange website, I wanna contribute.

We're at a point where there are no cheap options to retreat to and no price points that guarantee quality. Every run-down studio is $1400, every fast food meal is $17, every luxury condo has peel-n-stick tiles, every $300 pair of boots falls apart. Endless expensive mediocrity.

Huge congrats to the team for shipping Marathon today! Its been such a cool journey. Better hope I don't see you on Tau Ceti, unless you're Rook - then we're chill

Over the past week I’ve gone through over 1,500 portfolios. And this is my bi-yearly reminder, begging, pleading, make it one gallery page with your best art. If I have to navigate more than two clicks and I’ve got 800 more portfolios to review that day I’m going to dissolve into a pool of goo.

I just want to make games, man

today i ammmm -spins the wheel of hypomanic episode creative project- creating a mid 2010s gamer montage of my marathon clips i guess

fans of the genre will find plenty to enjoy in "making out with girls"

Algae ponds is the dennys parking lot of Marathon send tweet

Oof. I just read your post in the most uncharitable, pedantic way possible, and I gotta tell ya: it's not looking good for you.

logging on to bluesky and catching vibes and having to piece together with dawning horror what new stomach-turning thing my country is doing

just in case my cis mutuals & followers wanna know where we're at rn, this is where we're at rn

being an industry worker in games discords is often exhausting - people always want to theorycraft about why X was delayed or what the politics behind an executive reshuffling were and you can't even tell them about the Five Prismatic Bones

current meds are still a half measure, but I think the awful breakdown meds i was on previously actually might have broken me out of manic episode deathloop? i'm having a shockingly pretty good time recently. feels like my brain hates me less than usual.

Dear waitress I always have at one of my haunts: You calling me 'babe' every single time is giving me life and I look forward to it every time. 🖤

They're remaking you for a modern audience. Yeah, sorry man. They're giving you a hyper realistic art style with no reverence for how your original color grading or art design looked. Your boss fights have new shitty mechanics and they redid all of your iconic voice acting. Your studio got laid off

I sort of fundamentally don't buy any argument that attempts to blame the industry's problems on attention-share (tiktok / netflix / whatever), kids all playing Roblox, or really anything beyond the critical pain point that "investors are not funding the kinds of games that provably make money"

Video Games have the same problem as every other industry. That problem comes with names, addresses. It's not a fluke weather event. Economic violence is visited upon us all by human beings with intent, agency.

i just want to claim the dark, evil power planted inside of me by the villain and tame it for the sake of good, manifesting it as a new costume and set of abilities

keep your gameplay designers happy by being sure to actually give them polish tasks so they can use their skills and eye for detail!!

today i spent all day iterating on sliiiiight rumble and camera performance tweaks for [redacted work thing], literally just 8 straight hours of me tweaking it until it was JUUUUUST right. I am a fucking HAPPY game designer today mmmmm good food

I wish I could shit on game companies more but literally every media company is incapable of making anything now. It takes 4-6 years to make 8 episodes of television and there's no reason it should beyond a managerial class that is both wildly egotistical and completely useless

Nothing. There is nothing you can do. If someone else owns your game studio, assume it will be shuttered for no good reason sooner rather than later, by arrogant imbeciles who will never know consequences. Don't count on next week. Not ever.

ripped a hole in my tights using my pocketknife so my girlfriend could give me my HRT injection without me having to take off my whole outfit... the cyberpunk future is here

ok you gotta read this whole thread by my babe morgen. i've been watching columbo and im screaming about this i can hear it in my head clearly

im a simple girl with simple principles: if its called a 'launch trailer', the game had better be out

Flight stick got here! I must stress I have never fucking touched a flight stick and do not know what *any* of these buttons are for. ...So its perfect for this game dev experiment: a little month-long project game for it! Gonna feel out what is natural on the device and see where it leads me.

Thoughts about childhood that have been in the drafts. #art
