Great thread with games biz pointers

Siegecaster, an active skill-based siege defense game, is available now! This was a personal project created with a small team, and my friends say, "I was playing it to be polite, but then it was four hours later, and I actually liked it!" Getting the word out is still hard, so all RTs appreciated!

Remake Tie-Fighter you cowards.

KAISERPUNK, the first official ™️game backed by us has been released! Huge congrats to @overseer-games.bsky.social on the release! 🔥 store.steampowered.com/app/2012190/...

I helped co-found a thing! Almost Ready Games Fund is live! We provide funding, connections & advice to help indie games that are almost there cross the finish line. The team run the day to day while I help with advice, memes & threats of encouragement. Need a boost? Let us know! 🚀

If you're seeing this, you're one of the lucky folks who now knows the Siegecaster Demo is live! Yeah, that's right! You don't even need to wait until tomorrow. That's my gift to you! Feel free to tell your friends! Through the transitory properties of knowledge, they are also gifted the demo! 🏰☄️

Daniel is spot on why this is happening. It was a strategic decision made months if not years ago. Caveat venditor. Beware of who you sell to/work for.

Someone please explain to me how the ONLY Indiana jones available on Disney+ in Sweden is the The Dial of Destiny???

Happy Birthday!!!

I had a dream that Sarah Bond and Phil Spencer visited the studio but nobody told me. I was stuck in meetings and saw them through the glass walls. I waved awkwardly. I don't know what it means.

deleted post. too many pings. halp

I say it often and it bears repeating, the creativity of this fandom is extraordinary. #Warhammer #Nerdlings

I’ve played it and it’s great fun!

Really excited to begin the search for a Chief Technical Officer to join the team at Arrowhead! Put on your technical wizard robe and hat and join up. Need as much signal boost as I possible can get on this one folks!

The pc gaming landscape remains challenging

Oh boy.

Morning folks! Me and 10-15 other game developers are on the hunt for a nice office space in London as ours is sadly closing. We'd love to share space with other game devs / creatives so if you have some empty space at your studio, or have any tips please let me know! Signal boosts appreciated! 🙏

I had the honour to attend the Golden Joystick Awards with together with @alexbolle.bsky.social on behalf of Arrowhead. Can't believe we got to share the stage with so many amazing developers, let alone leave with 4 awards. We did good team :)

"We take our work seriously, not ourselves."

I've been clean from Magic The Gathering for the past 15 months. I used Hearthstone Battlegrounds to ween me off MTG. I now need methadone for my methadone. Halp.

When life give's you lemons - you make cute cats in Blender. Have a great Friday y'all.

Today I spoke to someone who said they got into the games industry thanks to the Business of Video Games podcast. It made my day! Capsizing the life trajectory of one listener at a time! Apt that we're releasing another episode today. Maybe today YOUR life/career will be derailed!

Super impressed by Tindalos Interactives Aliens: Dark Descent. Really captures the "we're-bad-ass-marines-what's-that-ping-on-the-motion-tracker-oh-my-god-we're-fucked"-thing. Plus a splash for Xcom.

I wouldn't normally post something like this - seems self aggrandizing. But I only learned about Kiva.org by someone else posted about their contribution. I just passed my 1000th microloan distributed through. Onwards to 10 000.

Am I allowed to play Starfield if I haven't played Cyberpunk yet?

More late night doodling. Started off as the usual cozy/bright thing but then ended up here. #blender #blender3d

Can you believe it's been 2 weeks already? time for another episode of the Business of Video Games podcast. This time about the VIDEO GAME MONEY MAKING MACHINE that is SWEDEN. #välfärd www.podbean.com/ep/pb-ybq92-...

Another episode of podcast! Starting to hit our stride in earnest now. In this one we talk about the @HoodedHorseInc portfolio and what makes it such a unicorn. open.spotify.com/episode/0Xcl...

Took a break from the cute and cozy stuff and tried something with a bit more realism. 2nd shot is the scene in the editor and the simple geometry. The light and color post work is doing all the heavy lifting. Inspiration came from a shot found at: www.instagram.com/maandpartners/ #blender #b3d

A few more renders from the other day. Finally added a splash of color to a bathroom scene #blender

Strange New Worlds Season 1 made up for Picard 1-3 and Discovery 1-X. <3
