Today is a good day to support my friends and former co-workers, whether they're at @yellowbrickgames.bsky.social, @summerfallstudios.com, @northmiststudios.bsky.social, or elsewhere. So many brilliant people making things that bring a little more love into the world.

Rest in peace, Graham Greene. I met you once, as a teen on a movie set, and you talked to me like an adult. You were just a super chill guy. ❤️

Ok! blackcatunicorns.etsy.com I should pay more attention to Bluesky, eh? :)

Hey @tasmen.bsky.social link me your Etsy one mo’ time 🙏❤️

It’s so wrong that tweets about layoffs in the last two years have become evergreen, but here we are. To my friends and peers who lost work, I am so sorry. Once again, here is the layoff lecture from my friend Worth.

In this one way, the "messaging" today is helpful because it doesn't waste time pretending to be a "hard choice" driven by "economic necessity". It's a tool that is working to increase "shareholder value" and they will keep using it, year after year after year as a result. Believe today's message.

It’s really good - go try it !

Following the cancellation of Hytale, I'm now looking for work after seven years at Hypixel Studios. Please reach out if you'd like to talk game design, worldbuilding, or creative direction. Or books, obviously. I also write books.

Just having some fun. #EternalStrands #StargazerDLC

Me having gifted Eternal Strands to a friend and hearing they are enjoying it:

Hello, Bluesky friends! It's time for #AskHytale! ✨ Question from 'Memetheew' on Twitter: "Are Long-Lasting singleplayer 'worlds' a thing the team has in mind when designing Hytale and thinking about how they might roll new updates once the game is out?" Let's see what our Game Director says 👀

Some of the most fun I've had in a game this year, definitely recommending Eternal Strands if you're into that game genre! It's beautiful, fun, has loveable characters and well crafted lore ♥ The music and art direction is flawless too, give it a try! 🥰 Et pour mes amis francophone, il existe en VF!

Just watched a really interesting episode of Watch, Play, Listen where @charalanahzard.bsky.social @awintory.bsky.social and @mikelaidlaw.bsky.social talk about how Yellow Brick Games and Eternal Strands came together. Give this game a chance, it's so fun! youtu.be/pr_vC_l6wBM?...

Eternal Strands really snuck up on me this month. It's a game that deserves the world for what it achieves. A genuinely wonderful experience from start to finish, and a meaningful meditation on community and the queer experience. My review: thereisnosleep.bearblog.dev/eternal-stra...

Hearing that the Canadian federal conservatives are pivoting to “Canada First” like we’re not a nation that lives and dies by its goodwill, trade agreements, and military alliances makes me feel that they are a deeply compromised party who do not have our country’s best interest at heart.

Skies, what a treat. Just wrapped up Eternal Strands and wow... what an amazing experience. Superb writing, amazing voice acting (and direction!), and breathtaking environments. The entire experience filled me with awe and wonder; I felt like a young gamer again. Thank you! #EternalStrands

Even though the bird feeder is empty, she’s still watching it carefully in case something happens. (Narrator: nothing has happened. … Still nothing). What a good dog. 🐕

Saturday morning: clear, cold, sunny. No one awake except me and the dog. Quiet snow blanket over everything outside. Just listen to that peace. ❤️

Looking for some Canadian games because of reasons? Ideally Canadian published too? Eternal Strands pops to mind. Made by Marc Laidlaw or Mike Darrah or something.

My fellow Canadians! Did you know our trans friends in the US can't seek asylum in Canada despite their lives being in danger in their home country right now? Welp there is a petition you can sign to help change that! www.momentumcanada.net/pathways?rec...

Solid, and low-to-no spoiler set of tips for Eternal Strands here. I'd add "dodge just before landing after falling from heights to roll and reduce the damage." www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPUw...

If you would like to help support Trick Weekes, they wrote a few books you should get! Quoted is the best ways to support, and here are the titles: The Palace Job (2012) The Prophecy Con (2014) The Paladin Caper (2015) Feeder (2018)

It is a career HONOUR to have our game, Eternal Strands, covered (ripped apart) by Yahtzee from @secondwindgroup.com and then find out HE LIKED THE GAME. 🤯 youtu.be/YvzXEai_2Eg?si… Excuse me while I go yell happy profanities out the window - time to make more freaking art!! 😍💛

Eternal Strands - the new action RPG from Mike Laidlaw's studio Yellow Brick Games - has magical powers that feel genuinely dangerous, married to level design that offers scale and prettiness. Our review: www.eurogamer.net/eternal-stra...
