🍬✨WE’RE IN THIS ONE✨🍬 Our CEO Kim Belair sat down with Rory McGuire of Blackbird Interactive and Mitch Patterson of Wolfjaw Studios, to talk to @bryantfrancis.me about how our floating Writers’ Room works, and how co-development looks for our team and others! Give it a listen here! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

There are so many great underground, creative, independant games coming out, we've started a new show which distills all of the ones we played into a month down to the ones we think everyone should check out. Expect it every month on noclip_2

Been thinking about Highguard and the impermanence of games these days (which is to say, moreso that usual)

But.. I’m not done YET! Honored to be nominated for #BIGAwards2026The Gerald “Jerry” Lawson Lifetime Achievement Award! Mark Your Calendar Tuesday, March 10, 2026 Children’s Museum, San Francisco During the Game Developers Conference (GDC)

DICE conference is an unusual vibe this year. A lot less people. International devs are staying home cause Merica publishers and investors are finishing fund focused. Not really helpful budget expectations are beyond unrealistic. They want a AAA game for 1M. Delulu 2028 will be a release desert

Take me through there! Take me through there!

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

Does being surrounded by gaming journalist and streamers convert to steam wishlists? Asking for a friend...

Job offer!! I’m helping a PBS series look for a social media manager/content creator for an upcoming promotional campaign. The start date is ASAP, and a project timeline that currently goes to July. This is for a series on American Muslim history, so candidates with cultural familiarity preferred!

uuuuq yeah! This looks waaaaay better (to me!) than the hyper real original recipe horizon. But I’m a #styleheaux at heart ❤️ so 🤷🏾‍♀️

We hope you enjoy the Dosa Divas demo that's out now on Steam and if you do please leave a review and wishlist! If you're fans of Expedition 33, Sea of Stars, Mario RPG, Octopath, Thirsty Suitors, this is for you.

Very awesome talking to Kotaku about DropShot. Check it out!

We are STOKED to see that Dosa Divas from @outerloopgames.bsky.social is launching on April 14th across Steam, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A demo is also available now to give yourself a taste of the flavorful turn-based combat in this spicy JRPG.

Hope you like reading my first freelance feature at Kotaku. Had the opportunity to speak with @aerialknight.com about his newest game, DropShot & self-publishing. Big thanks to @carolynmichelle.bsky.social for helping me with edits & @ethangach.bsky.social for accepting my pitch.

jeffrey epstein's apparent association with the likes of bobby kotick, steve bannon, and peter thiel – and his fascination with game design as a means of controlling others – paint an unsettling picture

More of this please! good deals must work both ways. Nice reporting @adashtra.bsky.social

This is the video stream, which performatively last $250 of compute expenses. It displays all the well known issues of AI "games": spatial and physics inconsistencies, nonsensical levels, no game state memory, mushy UI... they are still dementia simulators. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwFo...

Shout out to all the amazing Black game developers, media, and creatives across every part of making games. I’m rooting for y’all year-round. Go follow Black folks making games. We’re often ignored, then imitated. Tag some Black devs below and follow the ones you don’t know yet.

Don't forget to check out some amazing Black Femme Devs this Black History Month!!! 👩🏿‍💻🖤🎮 go.bsky.app/88aYGTF

First teaser for "The Ghost In The Shell" anime series by Science Saru studio. Directed by Mokochan (+ Shuhei Handa on character designs & animation). Coming in July. Full official video >> www.catsuka.com/news/2026-01...

i talked to the lead designer for Seance of Blake Manor, one of my favorite mystery games of last year. it's not as brain-destroying as something like Blue Prince and that's very much by design. you can walk away and come back to it, for example www.mothership.blog/seance-of-bl...

Do you need to feel smug? Because reading about these AI disasters will scratch that itch.

I created the 3d model of the first Highguard iteration of Condor, bird, and her dreads (seen here) before her outfit was adjusted into a different direction. Great to see she has evolved into something even cooler. Good luck to a great team that allowed me to push her skin darker & face gentler 🫶

'We are shutting it down:' Ubisoft unions call for international strike

Try a couple decades of shitty emails ranging from simple insults all the way up to death threats from idiot fanboys who can't handle you giving a game "only" 8/10 and see which one puts more calluses on your soul, dummy. You'd fold in six months or less.

Tim is 100% correct, and I'm grateful for him saying it.

Voice acting friends.............. Give me your reels...............

Facts. For example Mobius storyboards for Jodorowsky went so hard it is literally why we will get New DUNE and Starwars movies for all eternity.

commission for luper !!! 🐟🐺

Frame, in violet

oh hey, this is what i've been yelling about for years steam does indeed provide fantastic, irreplaceable services for both its developers and its customers 30% is still too high.

1.30.2026 It’s time for a national labor strike. All they care about is money and hate. Not Americans. Money. Nobody works till ICE is abolished. NOBODY. NOTHING. No taxes. No spending. NOT A PENNY TILL THEY LEAVE US THE FUCK ALONE

We never grew up And don’t want to!! We are ToysRUs kids!! Whats crazy is we were the first generation that grew up playing games. We have raised our kids/nieces/nephews playing games. But no one is intentionally making games for us to play with our kids/nieces/nephews?!?! What gives?

This is just like that one time I did mushrooms and went to a community centre in Kyoto.

well that’s gonna catch on
