Okay I made fun of the (american) Dragon Warrior game manual art, but the Dragon Warrior II game manual art is much more dialed in.

How foolish of me to think that the interminable opening sequence of Dragon Quest 2 was a creation of the HD-2D remake. No, it's just as bad on the NES. Props for that, honestly.

Does anyone have strong opinions about the terms "Theme" vs "Presentation" in regards to game design? Like if game mechanics are one thing, like rolling dice or clicking buttons, and theming and presentation, like swinging swords or gathering herbs are another, separate thing...

Florida folks: If you have O- blood and are of African or African American descent, OneBlood is searching for donors who have a rare antigen that matches with a teenager with sickle cell disease who needs 50 units of blood so she can have a bone marrow transplant.

I have like 60 hours to get the money for my dog’s ACL tear injury. If I don’t then she will have the surgery pushed out a month—again— and she will keep hurting and being able to walk I have to carry Ellie everywhere right now.

(1/2) For my own games, I usually go with pixel art plus a CRT shader. But one issue I kept running into is that the art can feel a little different once it’s actually displayed through the shader compared to the raw pixel art. So I ended up making a tool for myself that lets me draw pixel art

What's the weirdest or most interesting inventory system you have seen in a game? I'm working on a long-term project about inventory systems in games, and I would like to see the outliers!

This is Patriot Pug. Patriot Pug does not light fireworks and hates fascism. Patriot Pug believes in equity, kindness, and protection for everyone. Or else.

UE folks! what is the best practice for forcing the game to run at a specific resolution? I've tried a postprocess material (bad for performance I presume), I've tried ScreenPercentage (bad because its relative to screen resolution). currently testing 'set screen resolution'

While I'm posting stuff from the very cool Torment Hexus from @byobattleship.bsky.social here's a little bonus I was DELIGHTED to have get into the game. The Anomalocaris Plush item is based on a real plush I sewed, and now I've made it a bead sprite!

Dear Dave Filoni, Please do a Tales of the Clones where it's an anthology set in the 79's clone bar as seen in The Clone Wars s6e04 "Orders" I can't believe we only get to see that place for a couple minutes!

Hey, so, shooting my shot. I'm working on a videogame while also publishing a free webcomic anyone can read - crowofprey.thecomicseries.com If like just 100 people donated 5 bucks to my patreon that alone would help me survive. patreon.com/DesDarkDesigns

Remember when pc game boxes were sometimes trapezoids? That was so cool. Like wasteful, sure, but there were so many fewer games that their boxes could be an on-shelf DISPLAY. Now there aren't even shelves. this is not my post, but I had this as a kid www.reddit.com/r/gamecollec...

i will never vote for gavin newsom

I like videogames. I like playing videogames and making videogames and communities focused around videogames can be (but not always!) the very best people. I just wish the people who had the power and the money actually ever gave a shit about them too.

if you want to help me make rent i have a bunch of stickers and stuff available on my shop 🥺💖 mcapriglione.art

Nearly every mobile game I’ve ever worked on is gone, “sunsetted” rather than made playable on current OSes. Their titles mean nothing to recruiters and hiring managers, let alone players. Even if players remember them fondly, they couldn’t play them anymore if they wanted to.

I wanna make something clear. Everyone needs to get this: This remark from Niblett, is a threat. When self-identified Allies™️ threaten to withdraw their allyship based on the tone or activism of a victimised group they don't speak for, they are -threatening- abandonment to soothe their narcissism.

Robocop. No I'm serious. Robocop is the definitive movie about America, a place where everything from a cop's violent death to urban decay to police brutality are all immediately latched onto for potential profit, the only thing that matters at the end of the day.

Bonkers that Bluesky is doing this. The Texas law does NOT require individual apps like Bluesky to verify age, let alone collect documentation. The law requires app stores — Google, Microsoft, Apple — to verify age independently and to communicate to apps to prevent minor access.

I don't mean to hit y'all with a 1-2 of posts about military historical dramas from the 90s, but it looks like SHARPE, a series made for streaming if ever there was, is on Tubi, so now EVERYONE can enjoy Yorkshire gutter grouch Sean Bean dropped into an officership during the Peninsular Napoleonics

I've always been a Sony fanboy in the console wars. My first console was a PS2. PlayStation has the exclusive franchises that I love. The PlayStation 6 would have been the first time I am in the financial situation to buy a console at launch. And they have just ensured I will never buy one.

What pisses me off is that we ALREADY HAD predictive autocomplete that was actually pretty decent at removing the tedious repetitive parts! Most IDEs come with a feature like that! We had a good thing going and you FUCKED IT UP

Using a pomodoro timer to switch between playing Dragon Quest 1 and working on my own turn based RPG in godot, all while listening to Castle Rat continuously. This is what it's all for.

I’m tired of companies and creators who get on board with Gen AI acting like they’re ’nobly taking one for the team’ by making sure that at least ‘someone who cares about our welfare’ is at the table. If you actually cared, you’d have the integrity to flip the table and walk away.

Sad to say I was one of the folks affected by the layoffs today after over 3 wonderful years at Bungie. I'd like to thank my team for the amazing experience and getting to ship Marathon alongside you all!~

Check out our interview with Stephen Oyarijivbie, Combat Designer on God of War Valhalla and the cancelled Black Panther game! Now live www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7UA...

If you're a Bungie worker impacted by the latest cuts I'd be interested in hearing your story. Happy to speak confidentially and answer any questions you might have about the process of chatting with a journalist. DMs open. Email in bio. Signal QR pinned (kerrblimey.43).

sooooo if anyone is looking for someone who can do production, capture, compositing art, ect ect

Process

I sincerely thought Bungie was going to be my forever home in this industry. Alas, I'm back on the job market. I'm immensely proud of the work I got to do on Destiny, and the people I got to build an experience of a lifetime with.

Also big discounts on Phantom Brigade, a simultaneous-turn mech strategy game that was a bit threadbare when it launched in 2023, but re-launched late last year with a gigantic overhaul update that turned it into something genuinely special. Watching the (new!) after-battle replays never gets old.

I'm sad to say I was affected by the Bungie layoffs today too - while I was only a contractor, the capture work I did with them was some of the most consistent income I had. While I'm scrambling to figure out what's next, our GFM from earlier this year is still up: www.gofundme.com/f/help-zoe-a...

there isn't a problem with the game's industry. there's a problem with every industry and every publicly traded company. getting a "nice CEO who cares" or whatever won't fix anything until things are addressed at a more fundamental societal level. the system will always drive towards this behavior.

After almost ten years at Bungie I was laid off today. I started on Destiny 2 in 2016 and was one of the first handful of people to join the Marathon incubation team at the end of 2019. The loss today, like so many of these days, is immeasurable. We built some really incredible things together.
