lmao

We’ve got a beautiful animated trailer to announce our 1.0 release date. And we’re looking for a gaming site or YouTube channel to feature it. Anyone interested? 🌞

This has me crying in real life 😂😂😂 🦁

I’m available for freelance game writing and narrative design work! Short or long assignments, as well as one-off consultancy meetings. I’ve worked on critically-acclaimed, award-nominated games and can be your dialogue doctor, plot sounding board or handle voice acting from script to recording!

Made this because my vet told me my dog is now considered an "elderly dog"

Layoffs are unfortunate for everyone involved. Full stop. This mealy-mouthed thing where it'll help a company "move faster, listen more closely, and deliver consistently" - like they're metamorphosing into a higher state of being - who are they fooling, exactly? www.pcgamer.com/games/sports...

kill all fake lovers

Back at it again in the mines

Beast Breaker, an absolute gem of a game that's Breakout as a turn-based RPG is finally getting the PC release it always deserved. Go play the demo for this joyful game of radical hope and found family! #nextfest @ashervo.bsky.social @kandofactory.bsky.social store.steampowered.com/app/4011790/...

"The world is entering a post-literate age, with huge implications for societies’ politics & structure. The smartphone’s emphasis on photos & vids has driven a decline in reading, a consequence of which is that a growing number of people are unable to grapple w/ complex ideas and nuanced arguments"

Hey mutuals! I'll be at GDC and available for work in the near future, so if you're looking for someone with 18 years of experience in everything from indie to AAA, let's grab a coffee (or tea)!

NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.

Just a reminder while this is a victory, it's not over yet until Discord completely gives up on the age verification nonsense. Don't resubcribe to Nitro immediately.

hi, I worked in indie games for 10 years and sorry, they're also burning down. you just don't hear about it because it doesn't make the news when a studio of 19 lays off 7, even when it's 200 small studios doing that

This is a very important quote from the interview that I hope every single company hoping to capitalize on the gaming industry reads and internalizes. Games are a unique market, and you can't just apply strategies from other industries and find success. This has been proven time and time again.

Thoughts after replaying a couple of the SimCity games, and how a single, straightforward decision can change the entire feel of a game

I hate being the center of attention or being perceived but that doesn't apply to my work, which is good. On the day of my bday I will admit I'm a good writer and maybe you'll hire me to write an rpg one day haha unless...

The Black Immersive Creators Grant is an annual cash award of $10,000 for US-based Black artists who are interested in creating immersive artwork. Applications for the next cycle are open! Applications will close on Thursday, April 23 at 12am Pacific. Please share! www.blackimmersivecreatorsgra...

GOD Titanium Court really has the juice. It has like, TOO much juice.

What do I need to do to get EA to fund a new SimCity man I'm dying here.

thank you for playing :~) it means a lot. Our game is very cheap right now, everybody!

There was a time that the major driving force for AAA in my mind was stability. I had a belief that while I’d be a smaller fish that AAA would provide stability I wanted. I was willing to give up some freedom to know that my paycheck was safe and consistent. Fast-forward.

the problem is fortnite's success wasn't a matter of luck. it was a literally non-reproducible moment of perfect positioning decades in the making. they think they're buying a hundred million dollar lottery ticket and they're not even doing that

anyway sorry to be a downer lol i just see a lot of gamers believing that while disastrous, this industry crash is a moral reckoning for making slop everyone hates. while i'd love that to be true unfortunately it's more that international labour is cheap and all the investor money moved to gambling

The Poly Fighter demo is live on Steam!! Please check it out if you like fighting games and/or roguelikes! Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️

Just getting endless use out of this image.

2026 basically

Check out our BRAND NEW GAMEPLAY TRAILER for People of Note, releasing on April 7th of this year! But don't just watch it...head to our Steam page to get your hands on the demo right now! Head through the Rock and Roll city of Durandis and the heavy metal dungeon of the Melting Point!

Hey! I'm Julie! Writer, consultant, designer. If you need a writer for a project, or a consultant to take a look at a game, I am open for contract work! Let me know. I've worked on titles like Silent Hill 2 Remake, Signalis, and 1000xResist, and I made one of Paste's favorite games of 2024.

turns out the idea guys don't actually have any ideas, just a vision of themselves sitting atop a pile of success money as their adoring fans blow kisses and their detractors grovel at their feet

My fucking adrenaline just spiked even after like 30 years.

I’ll be at GDC this year doing portfolio reviews and joining the new writers’ Q&A panel!! I’m looking for more work and your next game needs a writer, so let’s get coffee!

One of it not the strongest Weekly Shonen Jump author comment I've ever read.

me hearing these budget numbers

I'm going to run “Forest of the Damned” at @geekyteas.bsky.social in front of a live audience with these great players! ALL PROCEEDS will go to the #DioCancerFund. @aabria.bsky.social @erikaishii.bsky.social @kharypayton.bsky.social @sweeetanj.bsky.social Tickets: tinyurl.com/dndgeeky

Genuinely, correct, this is completely out of character for Kiryu. At every opportunity, RGG has completely shit the bed. This current group seems to be nothing but shitty dudes letting their shitty beliefs come out and have said fuck you if you don't like it. This current RGG is done-zo.

if you asked me to diagnose the western game industry's current problem it would start with "landlords have absorbed basically all disposable income"

How many times, in how many contexts, in how many ways am I going to have to say that this is what "AI" does— what it fundamentally *is*— before it sinks in? That all Bullshit engines do is statistically correlate training data & inputs via their weights to produce outputs you are likely to accept…

roses are red cherenkov is blue just use a screwdriver what's the worst it could do

I was able to rent this from the local video store at like 13 because it was lumped in with all the other anime VHS tapes like Pokémon and Dragon Ball Z.

I had a good time talking to Ron and occasionally actually answering a question instead of going off on a tangent. Appreciate getting to chat with a fellow nerd who’s into a lot of the same stuff!

It's a fanart day!! I love this show (and these two) so much :D #AKotSK #GameOfThrones #DunkAndEgg

It's #BlackHistoryMonth and I want to use that follower count for some good today. If you are a Black creative, QRP with your links. Note: this one is for Black folks to share their work. Not self appointed allies and performative list making of Black folks to follow & support UwU!
