sorry to some folks, but if we want games to be viewed as consequential art and not products - eventually game development at large is going to have to move past the realm of linkedin, forbes 30 under 30, how to market your game, professional business conference stuff and into something else.

as a rule of thumb for how i live my life i try not to engage in pettiness or partake in schadenfreude and am largely successful at that, BUT ☝️... my favourite target of ridicule is simply too fruitful to resist. i know how eve from the bible felt the knowledge is simply too delicious

I wasn’t expecting an RPG Maker game to be one of the best shopkeeper sims available, but here we are! It helps that Final Profit is pretty funny and has an anti-capitalist bent to it. It also has an endless mode if you want more after the 15-20 hour story. store.steampowered.com/app/1705140/...

maybe erroneous observation but the 'there is not enough coverage of small indie games' stuff might just be a symptom of people making games having a deep yearning for people actually engaging with their work in a more thoughtful way, beyond any suspected material benefits of 'coverage'

watched The Third Man for research. I think all movies should dedicate this much screen time to sewer infrastructure.

the thing about piracy is that if you replace it with "buying secondhand" or "borrowing a friends copy" it cuts through a lot of chaff. you dont see people arguing youre stealing from poor indentured writers when they buy secondhand & you dont see people arguing that borrowing is leftist praxis yfm

before i finished silksong i encountered the hardest bit of platforming in the game and after a crushing attempt i decided to stop trying because "i dont need this kind of negativity in my life" and went to fight the last boss but im still thinking... what if i went back... what if i did it...

People who make a big deal abt piracy strike me as someone who does not see any potential knock-on value in their work reaching someone beyond the few (few) bucks involved in a single transaction... which is kind of sad

SOUP ROOMS is genuinely one of the coolest projects I've ever had the pleasure to be a part of and I can't wait to share it with the world.

Me and Anubis are laughing at how heavy your heart is, man. He’s doing bits. Like acting like he can’t even lift it with both hands haha. Acting like he’s doing bicep curls with it. I’m like, damn, Anubis is in his bag

lrp it is genuinely a bit strange that so many games where a key interaction is reading text dont seem to put a lot of effort into text presentation. does it not bother them when they play through their own work...?

This is something that's been really bothering me lately with games. It's not just an aesthetic issue, it's also genuinely harder to read text if it's too wide, so I made this (little sloppy) quick guide to show what I mean. #indieGames
