got rejected from a really promising job so i am opening more slots smiles

Block or mute me if I am bothering you so much

EarthBound may be beloved now, but it is no secret that it didn't launch to massive sales. Join John Rairdin NWR for a deep dive into the marketing and launch of EarthBound in North America. See what worked, what went wrong, and let's put EarthBound in context. https://youtu.be/M69F6Vj_DME

Wow who'd could have predicted what happens when you BuildTheDamnTrains.com

Hey there! I'm a non-binary, genderfluid narrative designer who worked on a cozy shop sim called Dungeon Bodega Simulator. Grow crops, brew potions, raise slimes, and provide for your community as you discover the dungeon's secrets. Oh, and make sure you pet the cat! bsky.app/profile/alie...

A successful game people broadly seem to like releases and an executive has to rush out and reassure people that they won't be letting that happen again

It’s wild that the only times he has come in the public lately is to undermine the organizational efforts of Black people in specific. From that “we off that” about Kaep, to organizing the Super Bowl and now this. The man is an opp.

video games really aren't just pac man anymore!

Oh nice, they made the @despelote.game GDC talk free! Awesome talk - 99% of attendees rated it ‘excellent’ gdcvault.com/play/1035816...

New to the library: we've digitized the complete run of Neopets The Official Magazine. Yes, Neopets! It's important game history, and here's why:

I've said this before I'll say it again- people like this are completely rotten. You'll see your fair share of them if you're a first-time dev, and they'll say this even if you UNDER-priced your game. You should use common sense, but you should also sell your work for how much YOU think it's worth.

The money was always there for the good things.

how tf was Drift Stage revived before GTA6 came out, insane

Happy Monday! This post was inspired by those classic Zoltar machines I used to see at places like the state fair, carnivals, piers, etc. I like to imagine the Cici machine is only capable of giving you fortunes based around the circus, though!

New translation! I’m happy to release proper manmade subtitles for a gorgeous piece of scientific filmmaking by one of Japan’s great documentary directors, Sumiko Haneda…The Cabbage Butterfly! Come to learn about butterflies, leave with daydreams of the world. Give it a watch!

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage: doodlemancy.dreamwidth.org/20757.html 🚯 #NoAI #HumanArtists #ArtistsOnBluesky

Recently Kazuhiko Shimamoto went to Boston to attend his son’s (who is studying abroad) graduation. While he was there he took the time out to do the “Rocky Run” in Philadelphia with his son manning the camera. This is right after finishing Vampidol and still drawing Aoi Honoo 🤯 he’s a machine.

今年の夏に、日本でライブを３つやります。すごく楽しみにしています。 機会があれば、ぜひ来てみてください！！ Very excited to announce I'll be returning to Japan for a small run of shows this summer! Stop by if you're around, it'll be a blast! ✨

I began doing this last May with a public collection of articles, videos, podcasts and websites on game history: felipepepe.medium.com/my-little-ga... It's also useful if content dies, so that you have the URLs to easily find them on Internet Archive (I also backed them locally, just in case...)

This segment was already perfect but then I thought "Should it be set to Laura Palmer's theme?"

Hathaway 2 was real good, absolutely worth the 5yr wait 👌😩 I wanna give it some time to /perculate/ in my head a bit before I make any too hasty thoughts but beyond a couple weird scenes and me wishing for more char. exposition, really engaging and suuuuch an incredible last sequence

To be fair, Dear Esther is the Duchamp's Fountain of video games, presenting something that clearly isn't a game as if it were a game, in order to make us question what makes something a game. Instead we got people accusing every first-person adventure game of not being a game.

Releasing a new tool today: Blendo Localizer For managing localization text assets. Loads CSV or JSON files. This is a cleaned-up version of what we used during Skin Deep's development. Free Download: blendogames.itch.io/blendo-local... Source code: github.com/blendogames/...

NOTICE: Do you have an elderly or disabled neighbor in NYC? Be a good neighbor and let them know about the free air conditioner program. If they earn $3473 or less a month, NYC will cover the costs of an A/C. Remember…last summer we had 95 degree weather. Look out for them

We're going to @momocon !! Come check out our panel on Saturday, May 23 at 7PM in building B, room 402 as we talk about building your own career in indie spaces! Save it in your schedule on the Momocon app here: https://bit.ly/4uN2QdH

no you dipshits college is killing college. Getting a degree costs way too fucking much and the odds your field gets eliminated upon graduation look way too high rn

everyone's an adult what even is happening lol. we turned into such a child civilization, having imbibed only the media and philosophy for children and anyone who remembered the adult world has long since died. eternal adolsecence.

I remembered reading and looking at these images and posts like I witnessing the moon landing

i’m a bit of a bitch for this but i just think you should be thinking about how a videogame made you feel more than you should be caring about taking the temperature of everyone else’s reaction to it

🧵(1/6) Hey, gang! Trying to be a bit more active again. I've been pretty swamped with work, but have some exciting news to share! 1) I've done a whole overhaul on my website. 2)I will be speaking at Momocon this year on building a career in game development in uncertain times

I'm so done with 64. I was honestly fine with the series being dead in the dirt at this point, if I didn't have to see a fourth remake being trotted out. Even on its own merits though, there's not much genuinely revolutionary here? What new experience am I playing this for vs. 64, besides cutscenes

witching stone, my puzzle roguelike, is on sale for the steam deck builders fest! store.steampowered.com/app/2693530/...

almost forgot! here's what I ended up grabbing yesterday for #bandcampfriday v. glad to have Sour Soul on somewhere not-Spotify, and the namitape album is way better than I was expecting (I already had high hopes)

hemispheric dominance #silenthillf

are you ready for another 5 years of type lumina shield discourse

happy #mermay! was initially going to wait to show off more of this project, but I figure it wouldn't hurt to put out just a few more screenshots... #gamedev

of course, I have the dumb habit of not using hashtags but even beyond this short thread, there's plenty more great suggestions + artists repping their own stuff in #BandcampFriday if you got the means, go grab some sick tunes

"this game seems interesting but I'm bad at rhythm games/shmups/fighting games/whatever" you deny your own curiosity out of a fear of not living up to a standard that does not exist to an audience that isn't even watching. you must overcome this to live a full and true life.

hey! it's Bandcamp Friday! it's really rad and lets you give more money to artists you like via Bandcamp not taking their cut for the day. here's some releases I've loved that I think are absolutely worth grabbing (also reply or qrt suggestions too, always looking for new stuff)
