my mom taught me there's two kinds of businesses: hot dog stands and art galleries - hot dog stands protect territory and keep competition off their turf - art galleries benefit from more adjacent art galleries, cluster together to amplify reach/support youre an art gallery, not a hot dog stand

Does anyone have a starter pack / recommendations for folks who make hand drawn VFX? Cuz I would like to pipe that into my eyeballs please

Why does 'finding the fun' fail so often as a design strategy? #gamedesign New designers are told to prototype and 'find the fun'. But the naive version of this is a garbage tactic that mostly results in poorly thought out prototypes that are never going to converge on gameplay.

One of the first creature ideas I pitched at the start of Dragon was the Pinoceros, and it stuck! Erika & I went on a walk in the woods talking about the project, our early memories of playing pretend in the forest, favorite rpgs, and by the time we got back the pino was hatched!

I'm Andrea and I do game design, art, animation, writing, #indiedev etc. Bob and I are Wonderbelly Games, making tasty strategy games in fun new flavors. Our last game Roundguard was the first pegglelike roguelike. Now we're cooking up something new with *delicious combos* as our guiding principle 🍳

For pure, dialed-up-to-10 "they simply would not print something that looks like this today", you can't beat Fay Jones's iconic abstract wonder Stasis. Jones was a more established artist than the rest of the originally commissioned crew & did this one card as a favor to her nephew, Richard Garfield
