Merry Christmas 🥳🎄 May you have a great time these days, wherever you are, with whomever you are or also alone. 🙏 Thank you for being awesome.

If you use generative AI to "explore ideas" you are mentally weaker than even the smallest child. If you feel that you need generative AI to "structure your thoughts" you lack the confidence of an 8 year old. If you feel shame about your diminished inner world, you should. You're bad at daydreaming

A reminder that The Escapist that people remembered does not exist anymore. Almost all the core staff packed up and left. Most reformed as Second Wind, which is doing decent work. The Escapist now exists to promote online gambling and act as a mouthpiece for unhinged venture capitalists. Let it die

Today marks 10 years to the day I uploaded my first video. I have some thoughts: youtu.be/AA3sqEsdvRM

The problem is that so many people put “Indie” on the same scalar plane as AA and AAA, when it isn’t. Small games should be Single A or something. That way indie can actually mean independent, rather than small, low budget, cheap, etc…

It would be about now that I would be ready for Sekiro 2.

People don't dislike Tim Sweeney nearly as much as they should.

Oh no. I'm thinking about getting into Warhammer 40k.

If you're working on a cool obscure indie game it's time to email John:

I know capturing game footage is tough at the best of times, but it is DOUBLY important to do it right if you're producing storefront footage for a VR game. If your game trailer is dropping to sub-30fps I'm going to assume this game will be actively unpleasant to play. Chunderiffic, even.

1/3 of all gamers quit playing games all together because of toxic communities What would happen to a restaurant if 30% of their customer revenue walked out the door and never came back? Grand Closing!! We literally can’t afford to allow bad players to terrorize our communities.

Played Dispatch in one Go. I liked it a lot. Feels Like the golden days of Telltale Games. - Starts with very strong writing - Ends a bit on the weaker Side - Performance surprisingly stutterly - Choices dont seem to Matter much I want more.

A post-GDC thought: There's so much worry surrounding securing funds now or in the future but ppl funding games want to feel confident/invest in lower risk projects with clear hooks & interest. Marketing *has* to be part of dev and among your earliest considerations, not an afterthought.

What a headline. What a headline

There's so much wrong with the games industry, but every now and then something just makes me smile. It's also going for $1 right now, so if you haven't played it, there's no excuse. Give it to your friends.

It's that time again! There are so many wholesome games with demos on Steam right now for #SteamNextFest, which lasts from Feb 24 - Mar 3. I'll use this thread to highlight a few I've found, but devs and fans please join me and add your own recommendations!

I'm going to GDC as a member of the Summit Advisory Board but also for myself for the first time. 🎉 I've left a few spots for friends and last-minute meetings. Let's chat about game business and marketing strategies. 👋

One thing to understand is that these execs never descend from their ivory towers long enough to really get to know their players. They just read a report about a report and regurgitate the facts that fit their narrative/agenda. Listen and engage with your communities. Not the paid reports/surveys

Dog moment.

A good internet pal, @dominictarason.com has a genuinely fantastic page, he's one of the best follows, and his beat is very much niche and obscure indies, a great resource of all kinds of weird and wonderful games, have a browse through and give a follow: store.steampowered.com/curator/4313...

despite being horribly busy, I just about managed to make the time to play Peripeteia last month (it's out RIGHT NOW on early access) and it is BEYOND what I expected it made me fall head over heels for immsims and is perfection in every way that matters to me ty to the devs for the early key!

These Steam Next Fests have gotten so over-stuffed that a huge number of developers are dropping their demos a week or two early just so they can have a LITTLE bit of oxygen and visibility before the tide rolls in.

Golden Light is a one of a kind freak game that more people should play. And now can, because it's (for the time being) free. Horror comedy stealth roguelike. Like playing Prop Hunt in Silent Hill while drunk. Sometimes you can heal by hitting yourself in the face with a fire axe, or eating a gun.

TFW your gaming channel, on which you play indie games in a different language, slips over the 2000 subscriber mark whilst being sick. That said, a huge thanks to all you Devs who reach out to me, I've communicated with and also who comment on my videos on their games (always a huge ego boost!). 🙏🏽

Super worth checking out! 🙌🏾

Age of Empires Mobile Ads are... just bad. Even within that industry I'd say. And why use such traditional brand with a certain audience to then twist it towards a wholly different target audience?! All sides lose here.

Hire this amazing talent:

Jedi Power Battles came out in Steam!? I have VERY fond memories of playing this game, knowing it as Jedi Power Balls (gifted burned CD) on Playstation with some friends back then! 🤩 - In black and white on TV because we didn't have proper cables. store.steampowered.com/app/2443630/...

A dangerous enemy awaits - Mimic High Priestess Dungeon assets available soon! #pixelart #ドット絵

Despite their atrocious, anti-consumer business model: It's great to see a Dev studio having a vision, sticking with it and having success with it.

Shoutout to all Content Creators that also work full time! 🙌🏾✨ My respect for you has increased by over 9000 in these last couple of months. 🙏🏽😔
