Today In Game Development: I have sync'd the latest version of the editor. I have Perforce credentials. And I'm not afraid to use them. #producercheckinsftw

Special interests? You mean overwhelming public support? Scientific polling by Change Research found 81% of Seattle voters support limiting car traffic in Pike Place Market, and 65% would even pay more property taxes to make it happen! Probably even higher now that the pilot has been so successful

This is so, so well-articulated.

If a Klingon can be respectful of their friends’ names and pronouns, so can you!

Welp, @starseekergame.systemera.net's next beta officially has

Theater/opera person, here: this is likely due to "bleed," which is a phenomenon we're literally trained for. When acting (or in this case, role-playing) a character for a good while and there are intense situations (such as an RPG finale), the emotions of the character can literally become yours!

V’s blowing up my spot, I was only going to inflict this on my coworkers but she decided everyone should see it.

I like an action shot of St Patrick

The terms are reasonable. If you're gonna use Gen AI you have to disclose it, and the investor will decide if they are or aren't okay with getting legally and financially involved. And if you lie, it's a breach. If you want to work with investors that are okay with Gen AI, just pitch to those. ezpz

new technology is amazing

Sounds like all the right winners happened tonight at the Oscars? That’s refreshing!

That was a Mercedes 1-2-3, and you can’t convince me otherwise 🥲 #f1

Look at this INCREDIBLE piece of art!! So excited to share the game with you all soon. If you’d like to support us on the journey to launch, please wishlist the game on Steam. Can’t wait to see you in more beta tests coming soon :)

Oh it's gotten even worse now.

Secret 8th thing... I'm a Frixion Ball girlie. This is my main squeeze in all colors of the rainbow. But in her absense, #3 all the way.

Austin Powers is producer-coded

A lot of you may not know this but there are a bunch of volunteers frantically working to restore AO3, which has had intermittent downtime for a couple of days, and I just think those people don't get enough praise.

tfw you got asked an innocent question about the Wuthering Heights movie by your friend and now you’re off on a passionate tirade about why you’re extremely mad about this film. #itsnotaromance

Thank you to everyone who participated in our second playtest! We had a blast making new friends and running around the ESS Starseeker 🚀 Didn't get a chance to join? Don't worry, we'll have more details on the public beta coming next month.

Age verification? I would go to friends houses with 25 cents in my pocket in case I had to call my parents from a phone booth to come pick me up.

I am absolutely not kidding

I could be having the worst day ever, but Abracadabra by Lady Gaga can literally have me dancing and excited in the first 10 measures. What sorcery is this!!!

Every now and again I get to talk about our game :D. Also wow what trip down memory lane with the archival footage... Come see The Last Vlog (tm) as we gear up for future awesomeness!
