Our adventure will (optionally) include feeling the sand under our #GDCFeet, a labyrinth, and everyone’s favorite: a mysterious and ancient sea cave. Bring water, snacks, and sunscreen! There’s also an easy out midway at the Cliff House if you’d like to leave early or join late!

I’ve been to GDC 9 times (but last in 2019) and my secret trick for stomaching overstimulation is: party as hard as you want but be in bed at 9pm with a good book or a good game.

I saw this in Shanghai last summer—it’s brilliant; a very creative, funny, and humanistic reimagining of Journey to the West. Seek it out!

The video game industry decided to discontinue their product, the video game, in exchange for trying to make Fortnites. They have in recent years found out this doesn't work, so they have pivoted from making Fortnites to making ????????????????? nothing I guess

Julie's notes for 1000xRESIST were spot on and helped us make the game better at such an important time!

now, when the little sphere fellow puffs up all full of air, is he not able to simply float above the dangers down below? he can? does this not present some type of contradiction, as the friction of violence is the intended purpose of this amusement?

Making a complicated design based on vibes and bringing it to a stakeholder to ask "hey what do you think?" is the behavior of a junior UX designer, and wastes everyone's time until they are trained out of it. With the power of generative AI, now everyone in your company can be that junior designer

Lowres today. Made an ASCII shader as a post FX on some circles. I'm quite happy with the output. #genuary4 #genuary

I love Poems on the Underground. It is one of the most civilised and lovely things about London - thank you TfL, and thank you Janet Frame for writing it. poemsontheunderground.org

friends! acquaintances! help! i'm looking to hire a game designer (living in the Netherlands) to help build games in The Hidden Folks Universe, starting with a sequel to the indie hit game Hidden Folks. know someone who's a good fit? pls forward this, ty! hiddenfolks.com/job-opening/...

Check in on your friends. Your neighbors. Your family. Especially the constantly online, or the news consumers. Nobody is okay. Just love people. Love people and let them know you’re there. We’ve become so, SO isolated. We need to reconnect.

Wow. Thin Lizzy playing the Doctor Who theme music is not something I had come across before youtu.be/nbsoEcXAaiY

I'm starting to write more reviews of smaller titles on Steam. 1. Reviews are very helpful for developers and players alike. 2. It's a nice way to cap off a fun time with a game. So not only do I recommend Babushka's Glitch Dungeon, but I also recommend writing reviews of indie games you enjoyed!

corgijam is going suuuper good so far itch.io/jam/corgijam lots of pico8 but lots of not pico8 going on too, everybodys games are very funny and focused so far, so cool to see !!

When I made my last RT I didn’t realize Coven of the Chicken Foot is Wildflower Interactive’s new game! (I missed the game awards.) It looks *wonderful* @brucestraley.bsky.social ! Congrats to you and your talented team! youtu.be/mRNAbGYwvgg?...
