I want more bike games. Season was gorgeous and my favorite kind of heartbreaking. Sable had killer dialogue and sci-fi worldbuilding. It doesn't even need to be a melancholy narrative game! Just give me more game bikes.

I find this absolutely fascinating, flaws and all. Kei Midi AA AAA These are categorizes I can get behind when we're talking scale.

Another amazing talent let go from Firaxis :(

Do I know any game devs in the Toronto area that would like to speak to girls ages 10-18 about STEM? A family friend is hosting a free STEM event in September and reached out to me asking for devs!

Most of these don't reflect my taste now but they definitely speak to that time in my gaming life.

I'm pleased to publish a 2-part, in-depth interview about the making of 2 beloved @bbigames.bsky.social sci-fi games: Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak (2016) and Hardspace: Shipbreaker (2022). This is an opportunity to discover the entire creative process, including the many iterations of these games.

hey just some quick feedback. the groceries -> cooking -> washing up loop feels too tight, it’s like I’ve only cooked a few times before I have to start over again. it’s a reliable resource sink for sure but it would be great to not have to do it so often. can we do a tuning pass

Look, I'm not saying that this will be one of the best period/martial arts #TTRPG ever, but I'm not not saying that either! I have @danielhkwan.itch.io's Ross Rifles game, and I can say, with confidence, that this is going to be a GOOD game.

I've been playing Pacific Drive and it's a great game for these long winter nights. Just the right blend of spooky, chill, and then occasionally nerve-wracking. I think this is the only combat-free Roguelike I've played? If anyone knows of anything else in that space, I'd love to hear about it.
