Greetings from the two creatures who run my life

This is the game I've been helping to make for the past year and a half. It's so wonderful and so special to all of us. Thank you all so much for the outpouring of love and excitement at our announce!! Please consider supporting us as we bring Ambrosia Sky into the world! 💜

So thats CoD, Arc Raiders and The Alters in for games that 'Used AI Slop But Dont Think We'd Notice or Care'

I won't lie - I think this is rad as hell and I kinda want to jump in a game with the folks putting it together. Concord was not a, uh... good... development process... but the game and the team deserved better than how Sony treated 'em. It was fun, and there was so much potential, but alas...

No fancy picture, just me about to get into the possibly wild game news today, then flex with a cool indie game you've never heard of: www.twitch.tv/viking_blonde/

We asked @willovergard.bsky.social: What made you join The Game Club? 🎮🤔 "I heard that @robmanuel.bsky.social was selecting the games and I had to join. Knowing Rob is picking the games is such a huge mark of quality."

Ambrosia Sky is truly something special and it plays like Powerwash Sim meets Prey Nouveau

This is my entire feed this morning:

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

This is a real unphotoshoped image which appernetly everyone forgot

"babies are born worshipping unknown gods" is one of the most incredible dwarf fortress bugs i have heard of. its poetry.

Anyway, If you want to vent about Geoffoery Keegles, Rockstar or AI Slop then I'm doing that stream thing I do on the daily You should come hang: www.twitch.tv/viking_blonde/

I'm with Mike on this one Not saying Geoff is a scumbag, but he's been a mercenary since day 1 and y'all seem shocked that he's putting money before principles?

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct. That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9nO...

So much love to Eurogamer Ira been heartbreaking see industry friends praise this game as it actively works to take away their jobs

sort of incredible to read a review that doesn't just made a vague nod at AI being bad, but actively reckons with the ways in which falling obsessively to AI usage actively obliterates the artistic intent and integrity of the work you've made.

Here's a bit of weekend drama: Indie game Misery, the 'what if Abiotic Factor but S.T.A.L.K.E.R' game has allegedly been DMCA'd by GSC Game World, the creators of the STALKER games What I can confirm is that at time of posting the store page for Misery has been pulled from Steam

hello game dev community, i am looking to interview a few people who have been in the industry for 5+ years and are comfortable in the role they chose for themself in their career. i want to hear from everyone, producers, engineers, narrative, community managers, etc. !!!

GO GO GO!!!! FISH FISH FISH!!! store.steampowered.com/app/3925720/...

Me and @littlefireee.bsky.social, moments before victory

The GTA 6 delay is a covering their union busting and its frustrating to see everyone fall for it

The sheer number of quality games coming out every day is staggering On just my personal wishlist alone I have ten just released. Its not the Steam algorithm screwing games, its just that crowded right now

Look, he's been really busy helping out some other promising industry upstarts. The "Future Class" program was absolutely NOT a cynical and performative gesture that was abandoned as quickly as Geoff got his flowers for announcing it. hard-drive.net/hd/video-gam...

The falconeer Revolution Remaster is free to play now till monday !!!! store.steampowered.com/app/1135260/...

TENDIES RUN THIS HOUSE

Japanese publishers demand OpenAI's Sora 2 stops using their copyrighted creative works without permission www.gamesindustry.biz/japanese-pub...

Hmm. Hey Horror archivists - Condemned: Criminal Origins seems to have been de-listed from Steam. License expired. C:CO feels to me as if it comes from a parallel timeline where Western Horror went a different way. Key re-sellers' prices aren't *gruesome* yet. So, just in case - here's a heads up.

Get ready to game with us! 🎮 We’re kicking off our first game,, "24 Killers," by Happy Shabby Games! If you love nostalgia, unhinged vibes and life sims, you’ll fit right in. Then, each month, we’ll meet at exclusive Clubhouses across the world to connect and make new friends.

Great job, everyone, we did it again

For our Halloween party stream, we're doing the Slaytona Race AND I've got cool sponsors tonight, mainly @thegameclub.bsky.social, so come join us for drinks and nonsense www.twitch.tv/Viking_Blonde/

It's hard to see game industry friends prasing games full of AI slop Like, friends, this is why you had your job taken away. Don't let then make it normal

okay, update: i have had this question answered, and I am now looking to speak to game QA testers ON the record about the weirdest, silliest-sounding things they've had to do to make sure games work. the wackier the better. happy to keep folks anon if they prefer. DMs open, email/Signal in bio

Shooty Shooty Robot Invasion - 2025 Colourised

How does "An absurdist FPS/interactive fiction game where you murder stupid robots, chat with idiot people, and explore a painstakingly hand-drawn and highly animated world" suit you? Because I wish to scream DEATH TO AI SLOP on Twitch Dot Television: www.twitch.tv/viking_blonde/

I recently did this poster illustration for the Tunic: Design Works artbook (Deluxe edition) published by @lostincult.co.uk !

14 sec of my indie game - explore a small open world - learn hidden game mechanics and uncover secrets - platforming + point and click gameplay - knowledge based progression and puzzles

My ability to impress peopels pets (this time Caffine's kitten Spell) is top tier

We're talking about the Amazon Games nonsense, Azure outage and why indies absolutely slap You must however bring your own coffee: www.twitch.tv/viking_blonde/

New Game: Egg terrycavanagh.itch.io/egg

Im gonna rant about GDC and game dev stuff, maybe get a coffee if you wanna join us: www.twitch.tv/viking_blonde/

"If people are talking about how you shit the bed, you must have _really_ shit that bed" Whatever happens with new GDC, the ads have been hot garbage with a Fortnite font

Today was hard, but I wanted to share this highlight of the nuggets final using thier hide

Ugh. I really want to hear what Jen Taylor has to say about this. This hugely profitable company can more than afford the services of an actual voice actor. Microsoft buried Halo and now they’re just spitting on its grave.

What's your game about? It's a question devs get all the time, and sure, I could write out some dry prose, but wouldn't you rather hear @voiceofobrien.bsky.social explain the game of souls? Of course you would. Sound on, and let him whisper in your ear.

I'm playing Hell Is Us and talking about todays game news if you need to come vent or catch up You will have to bring your own garlic bread though, I'm not sharing: www.twitch.tv/viking_blonde/
