Stressed and sad about the Xbox headlines, and for the friends I know on these teams. Really crossing my fingers that these studios can find a path forward.

It was great speaking with Bucky over at Pocketpair about their new publishing initiative, Windrose, Palworld and their legal battles with Nintendo The stuff the company is doing and how it represents a shift in games publishing is particularly worthy of note

We've posted more than 50 Previews from Summer Game Fest so far, from new indie favorites like Blood Dungeon and Mr. Records to heavy hitters like Alien: Isolation 2 and Control Resonant. Check out the links below to catch up on everything we saw at the show. #SummerGameFest

Truly dumbfounding how regularly Google will simply sign you out while you're working on something, and for years, they haven't seen this as an issue worth solving. Like, ok, verify sign in after a week, sure, but then require like an hour of inactivity or something.

Working my way through cleaning up EZA SGF stuff, and time stamps are all done now if you want to go back and see reactions to anything specific.

I’m in this one, if you know where to look.

INCREDIBLE: First scene released from new BATHROOMS movie on YouTube. Director is only 41 years old. This movie about hidden bathrooms was made for barely $40 million dollars and the director is only 41 years old. youtu.be/Lw2DQG5vQ2k?...

Don’t Let It Starve launches tomorrow. If I’m not already in your inbox and you want to cover it, let me know. If you ever wanted to shove a T-Bone into Leon’s briefcase, this might be for you. store.steampowered.com/app/3930510/...

Ran into the team earlier this year, and I was waiting to see what their game would be like. Really like what I see so far. Got to play a quick bit on a normal track, but still have to get my hands on that harpoon.

got mad

Our first round of Summer Game Fest previews is up on YouTube now. Get our initial thoughts on nearly 20 games that we checked out in person at the show! www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpaT...

Xbox day

Good morning! One more set of showcases to watch as we tune in for the Xbox Showcase and PC Gaming Show before heading back to the show floor. Come join us in just a few minutes at www.twitch.tv/easyallies

It's game time. We're chatting about a bunch of games we saw at Summer Game Fest today. Come check out our previews live now on twitch.tv/easyallies

You may have found out about the FF VII part 3 reveal by watching it live at SGF, but at least I can say I found out about it by running into a friend from Square Enix in the parking lot.

I have very limited information on what happened today but it was a good night.

Ready for The MIX tonight. Who’s coming?

Loose ends on six people's EZA schedules as tied up as I can get them before the show. Maps, embargoes, points of contact, etc. all laid out. I also have a rough plan for what we can cover Saturday night, what we'll cover Tuesday, and what we'll have to shoot for embargoes.

Proud to have lead actress Clara Kovacic open the @lagshowcase.bsky.social at Summer Game Fest today with a new trailer for TENEBRIS SOMNIA 🎉 Retro survival horror. Live action cutscenes. Made in LATAM. youtu.be/yBMu6LhIurc

Less than 100 Easy Allies emails today. The calm before the storm.

Sucker for Love and Don't Let It Starve packed in my bag and ready to go. See you Friday. And look at that, our friends with Croak are there too!

cannot wait for this shit

Gettin’ on the Health Potions 🍻 #indiegame #gamedev

My take on the new God of War: there’s always room for Jello.

Delivering items for Summer Game Fest on Thursday. Demoing games at The MIX on Friday. Playing and reporting on game demos from Summer Game Fest this weekend. Full on double-duty summertime madness, let's go.

Hey folks! If you’re an experienced game designer who enjoys working with people, check out our new role at 20th Century Games! Come work with me!

We're stoked that 📦Box Knight⚔️ will part of #FrostyGamesFest ( #SummerGameFest ) on June 7 alongside so many incredibly talented teams from Australia and New Zealand! A huge thank you to @frostygamesfest.com for including us! #indiegame #gamedev

Talking about my adventures at BitSummit on this week's show, including a few games I got to check out and lots of photos of the booths I worked on. Take a look.

Yeah, these Mina trinkets are the good stuff. Beat up a guy that says you smell bad and then you get an item to summon swarms of biting flies.

That's one of our booths! AH! Thanks so much to Haley and Sarah for coming by to see Kidbash, Tanuki, Restory, Tenebris Somnia, and more! Also, so much cool stuff that I didn't get around to see. Really fun video!

Alright Japan, it’s time for me to go. See you again in a couple months for TGS.

Have a look at what we did at BitSummit! x.com/ukiyostudios...

@dave.newblood.games BitSummit 2027?

Wrapping up the first event with all 5 of us together at Ukiyo.

Coming soon

This is vile. No one should do any business with Valnet at this point. Practically a conspiracy to destroy information online at this point.

Tanuki won an award at BitSummit!

Lunch time

Not on the Forza stream tonight because I am here doing this for real.
