This is beyond disgusting… and why we need much stronger ethics to protect kids on social media platforms / online games. And accountability of course. Unbelievable and sickening.

"Gives the survivors genre an arcade power up, using extra-big sprites and dynamic pacing to make its dystopian city streets feel like living arenas that are as interactive as the monsters inside them." 👍Derek Likes Beatdown City Survivors: store.steampowered.com/curator/4057...

So in Neighborhoods we have funny business names, because why not. My wife actually suggested this one, & everybody that see its laughs. But this got banned on TikTok because it "violated community guidelines"...

How is this not a calitulation of the Game Pass strategy? The letter is like every aspect of the strategy failed, but then what? They're gonna do it cheaper with fewer games?

Beatdown City Survivors is on a "best" list with Mina the Hollower, Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator, and Dosa Divas? Hell yeah. www.pcworld.com/article/3182...

america has a fun shortage and it's important we talk about it (decline in third spaces, etc etc)

One hammie, no whammy.

So hard not to get wrapped up in the hunt for wishlists. When not getting them, there's a grail like mystery around them. If you're doing well, you hunt for more glorious treasures. An ad spend that's $0.1 per wishlist? I'm like chasing the high of running out of the temple treasure in hand.

AI's killer app is bypassing enshittification (or well, averaging enshittification across the board at a relatively fixed level). Meanwhile CEO's (like Chesky of AirBNB) are like, we don't need product managers anymore😆😂🤣

Did DoD just admit in a court filing that it used xAI's Grok Gov Model to hit the girls' school on the first day of the Iran war? Based on some passages flagged by @rgoodlaw.bsky.social in DoD's recent filing in NAACP's case against X, it looks like it did 1/

I played the early version of this almost 2 years ago – and it became literally my favorite Survivor-like. I have been waiting for this for TWO YEARS. So excited to hop in tonight.

1/3 of the game industry has lost their job in the last two years. Ubisoft closed two more studios today. Everyone is out of work. To that end I'm starting a new bundle to benefit a layoffs hardship fund. Game devs: please consider submitting your PAID games to the bundle, which will launch in July.

I played this last Fall and it was a real good time already, and Shawn is good people and Does Good For Videogames. A great moment in time to support him!

TIME STRIKE is a tactical FPS where you can stop time set in a fully destructible voxel world. It's a bit weird but I love it. We would love if you'd consider wishlisting it here: store.steampowered.com/app/3427330/...

While I was confident the game would find an audience, I am pleasantly surprised in finding more fellow bollard sickos on Steam:

This morning it is very difficult to balance the excitement of getting 21k wishlists in 5 days for Neighborhoods with the knowledge of the amount of work we need to finish in the next year (including finding a publisher). To be clear I'm in the way excited manic side of that 😂

Sick of the word Agentic. We had programs already and you just invented programs that suck and that you have to yell at and have your credit card info.

We worked real hard and did a huge amount of quality of life stuff (mouse control, text logs), added New Game Plus, and a bunch of extra dialog bits for Demonschool. It's also currently the Steam daily deal at 30% off! Good time to grab it if you haven't.

Proud of my team for rolling out Bitpart University today. It has been an undertaking to create tutorials that empower absolutely anyone to create professional-quality interactive living game worlds, even if they have never touched Unreal before.
