I don't want to glaze, but pentiment is so transcendent. I will remember it till the day I die. And I don't need it to have a sequel. It's just really that good. I wish more games were developed like this and less with the AAAA model.

As the length of video game productions has swelled to 6+ years, many people are trying to figure out how to reverse that trend. Here's some food for thought from the always-insightful Josh Sawyer, director of Fallout: New Vegas and Pentiment. This week's column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

A self parody in all ways.

This thread is why no game deserves to die. There's someone out there, who enjoys the game you call "shit". #stopkillinggames

recently learned about “dek bass”, a sound system culture in rural West Bengal, using cassette decks and homemade systems, and it’s remarkable because 1) the music and equipment are sick and 2) the DJ always looks like he’s being briefed on a national security issue

Can't believe GOG is saying this. This is so disingenuous! NO ONE WANTS YOU TO SUPPORT THE GAME FOREVER! JUST GIVE IT AN OFFLINE MODE! COMPANIES ALREADY DO THAT! www.eurogamer.net/gog-weighs-c...

Finally, we have removed from gaming its most persistent problem: gaming.

Merry Christmas! May your fires burn warm and your companions be true. #gameart #indiedev

You know things are dire when the 1954 cartoon that was bankrolled by the fucking CIA has more respect for the original source material...

Godot is probably the most fun I’ve ever had in a creative program especially in a programming context. The license of Godot means anybody can use it even if they’re from a sanctioned impoverished nation and won’t ask for a cut while doing it. It’s worth supporting for that reason.

the more expensive hardware gets, the more game optimization becomes an economics issue

Hoping that this is the water world sequel we were all waiting for.

Fun fact: your dogs can’t read the calendar and you can tell them tomorrow is Thanksgiving too. You can give them turkey every day and they’ll never know you’re fibbing.

It is a threat we cannot take lightly.

Please donate to one of the coolest people in the history of game development if you can

My greatest fear is that AI will replace WikiHow artists

An introduction to this project: we're a small game studio based in South Louisiana. Our first release NORCO (2022) is a sci-fi graphic adventure set in the New Orleans suburbs. Gameplay resembles Hideo Kojima's Snatcher or a modernized MacVenture such as Deja Vu.

This beautiful game now goes on to die.

The year is 2027. All video game studios have reached finally reached 100% layoffs. The only jobs left in games are Junior Assistant AI Promptgineer and Sexual Harassment Victim, both of which are outsourced. The latest Call of Duty lets players conduct actual drone strikes for the IDF

UK petition has hit the mark for it to be legally obligated to be discussed in the parliament. So yay. Though the initial response from the government wasn't great when the petition was launched, we can at least be assured there will be a discussion. Much more hope for the EU. #stopkillinggames

SAVE THE DATE! July 2nd. We want to get the hashtag #StopKillingGames trending on that day. Please use it in a post and link to the EU initiative and the UK petition.

Last time I posted this we had only 400k signatures, it's now at 750k. We can keep this going. Do you want to own games again? and not just "License" them? Then please join the Stop destroying Videogames Initiative. EU only Initiative - eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#... #gamedev #europe

This comes straight from the heart

I don't like it. I used to have a burning passion for new games, saving their trailers and anticipating their releases, but it feels muted these days. It hasn't completely vanished, but I do miss getting excited for e3. The summerfest just doesn't feel the same. Anyone else feel it to?
