To everyone affected by layoffs in the games industry: take a few days for yourself. Step back, breathe, and prioritize your mental health. When you feel ready to return, revisit your past credits and reflect on the craft, care, and dedication you’ve invested in this field. 1/2

With the news at id and the release of The Dark Ages: Revelations - I was inspired to play through all of the Doom games. So far Doom & Doom II are complete. It's now time for Doom 64 and then Doom III! What's your favorite Doom title?

Unfortunately, HR made our office manager take this down almost immediately. They said because it's in a common area, it had to be removed. We've used common areas for many things as a team, including fan works, but HR seems to believe that a Celebration of Service is inappropriate.

This single‑player roguelike pits us against a gauntlet of challengers; beat them, steal their moves, and fuse those skills into a custom-built arsenal.

Gaming company Wild at Heart suffered multiple redundancies in an event some PR magician would probably call a massive restructuring. The truth is: all these people are dead now and the Communiti wants me to get rid of the bodies. Link ⤵️

I’m so sorry for everyone at id Software affected by these layoffs. I know what it feels like to leave id while id goes on. It’s a strange and painful thing to step away from a place that holds so much of your work, friendships and history. 1/5

BREAKING: Xbox will cut 3,200 jobs as part of a major reorganization, and divest from five studios: - Compulsion and Double Fine will go indie - Ninja Theory and Undead Labs will be sold - Arkane to enter consultation process Here's the full story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

As a person who has done film/TV and is in the Games industry, A LOT of production time goes into just a few minutes of entertainment. A 5-minute scene can take 5 - 10 hours to film (not including post). A single dev doing everything on their own can take months (if not longer).

An important update from Compulsion Games.

Despite a report this morning, I can confirm that Obsidian is *not* in negotiations to avoid shutting down. Plenty of details are still up in the air surrounding the layoffs (picture will be clear on Monday) but Xbox is keeping Obsidian, according to people familiar with the situation.

There are going to be so many upset players. Since COVID, people have started to get back to physical media (which is why games, like Silent Hill, are over $200).

Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

The realm grows hungrier, and so must I. Today is all about scavenging the forgotten, reforging the broken, and feeding power into every card I carry. #DeathHowl #Gaming ⤵️

There are now more games on Steam made in Godot than RPGMaker. And at this pace, probably passing GameMaker in a year.

My first Retro Arcade Shop is officially OPEN and already buzzing. Arcade cabinets? Check. Bowling? Yup. Go karts? Obviously. Snacks? Always.
