The joy of it is in the processes. […] It makes you want to try.

is it strong work ethic or is it applied masochism

If they really wanted to appeal to women they should have made a drink called Monster Fucker.

Working in the game industry

the perfect compliment....

"This molecule kills drug-resistant bacteria without triggering resistance." holy SHIT

I need to take a longer video but Last Light hit milestone 2 tonight, which is basically 'combat system entirely works start to end' -- not final or GOOD by any means but THERE. Its only taken me 3ish years of free time!

Gatling series and thunderstrike :)

If you stop drawing, who will draw your ocs??

its me the birthday girl

Blackmail

girls only want one thing and its fucking disgusting (for the light rail to connect redmond and cap hill)

today in last light: got fairy's barrier shield working. when its shielding a strong enemy its actually legitimately a 'oh god damn it' moment which feels about right. started work on a refactor of action cards to let cards in your hand respond to game events

If I could RT this once a day I honestly might. The people in your studios that understand how to process player feedback, its scope, their frustrations, and the validity of it all as “a problem” versus “part of playing a game” are your community managers and your designers. Let them do their work.

Computers were a skill. They were taught in classrooms as a skill. Skills give you power over your tools because you work them as an expert and that is leverage to multiply externally. And then computers became an A/B tested telemetry-based advertising conduit to brains for SaaS recurring revenue.

making your own tools is one of the best things you can do in your game development process

realizing something like 3 months late that 'oh she had a crush on me, oh no! I totally didn't even notice!' I have to turn in my card for giving any of my friends a hard time about this exact scenario T_T

getting a text in the middle of the night and it's just my loathsome vizier saying "Your enemies lie in wait, my lord!!" what am I supposed to do with that. its four in the morning

they're lying in wait?? im lying in bed!!! you're the vizier, figure it out!! what am I paying you the big guilders for??

If you can't handle me at my unhinged posting behavior you don't deserve me at my industry professional.

this is it, my secret weapon:

getting consistently "ma'am"-ed on the phone and in person now... voice training finally paying off???

I made lowpoly dreads just to see if I could #chabindra #apronstrings

bites you bites you bites you chat disabled

very start of status effects work now! here's fairy shielding itself.

got side effects on my new meds so we're switching back and then to a fun third one. im so tired of no meds working on me!!! im so tired of suffering!!! cries!!! dizzying list of side effects im like. what if my head just worked wouldn't that be cool

So much of getting into game design for me hinged on my knack for the serendipitous that I almost feel like I have less advice now than I did when I was a fellow seeker And even with the amount of lucky bullshit that I had going for me I still barely made it here Games industry rough ;_;

alright, Dead Static Drive might take the cake for best no-stats character build explanation

sighs, obligatorily reposts

Oh, trials AND tribulations? You shouldn’t have.

periodically i forget that i basically get paid to make elaborate toys and experiences and AAAAAAA my job is so cool i need to not forget how cool it is to make stuff and make people happy

Today we just got 100 new followers and a bunch of people saying "whoa I've never heard of this" re: the game we have been thumping into the ground for the last 3 years by posting one gif from our earliest demo. If you think you post too much about your game: you probably don't!

not a gym rat just a humble gym mouse

my predilection to going 'omigosh this is so cool!' is somewhat undercutting my goth bitch vibes

Today is an absolute rebuke of anti-transgender politics, and a real sign that the anti-trans panic is fading. From VA Gov to Loudoun County to New Jersey to New York City and Pennsylvania, anti-trans Republicans are falling left and right.

tape deck got here, calling it a game research expense >>" man tapes are cool as fuck

todays last light things: - encounter templates now accept enemy random weight - work on a new enemy - work on the tactics submenu

i think in a free society people are not afraid to answer their phone

design tip

Without understanding what a piece of art is trying to achieve, and where it is successful, all negative or critical feedback becomes a matter of opinion. And too many people assume that their opinion—what they don’t like, essentially—is the same as critique.
