Designing a game that serves a specific audience is marketing. Researching that audience and the competition is marketing. Optimising a store page for visibility is marketing. It is not possible to launch a game with zero marketing, stop pretending that it is.

I need to try and get a big box of indomie or something, I've gone far too long without a bowl

"Imagine actually hearing back from a job," @najmahsalam.bsky.social and I wondered, "but it's for a magical girl temp agency." You're on thin ice, you start tomorrow and you have an emo capybara as a familiar. Lovely. A tease for an upcoming tabletop project from the both of us ✨

If you think you don’t need a producer, you probably do, and a good producer could tell you why

Hey Gang! 🤖 is on the hunt for a few skilled folks to join us. We are a US-Timezone Remote Studio. ⌨️ Narrative Designer 🎰 UI/UX Artist 🔧 Tech Artist Inquire below: robotentertainment.com/careers (note: i am not the hiring manager so dont reach out to me directly about these positions)

I’m sure someone else has put this better but: producer is a very…female-coded profession. They do the work that needs to happen but rarely attracts any glory. They have “soft skills” that auteurs and geniuses don’t. They’re often paid less. Just something to consider about why they’re devalued.

My pronouns are she/her but I'm also a little guy, boy (as in yea boyyyy) and sometimes, pal (threatening). Hope this makes sense

the one piece of advice you need for being a game developer is "never make a post demeaning the work of a particular dev specialisation, even if it is a joke"

Fun fact if there's no project managers on your project that work is just being done by someone else with a different title. Even solo projects need planning.

Blast from the past Sunday! Enjoy this cover from 16 (wheeze) years ago.

Unfortunate circumstance of gen AI: I love to make designs with really clean lines, but when I look at things I’ve made in this style I always feel like it looks too close to being AI-generated. I think that’s why I’ve been gravitating towards more grungy/handmade/graffiti styles recently.

It always feels like all the wrong people die, but I think it’s because there are far more beloved people than there are bastards.
