This Way Madness Lies is a great game and barely anybody bought it. It should be played by more people. If everybody here on @bsky.app banded together and bought a Steam copy and played it, well, that'd be a miracle and I would be forever grateful. store.steampowered.com/app/1318970/...

It’s real good. It’s real good in ways you wouldn’t even expect it to be real good.

Q-UP hit overwhelmingly positive this weekend which is overwhelmingly flattering! "That's kind of sick when you think about it." here's some thoughts from my perspective in a thread

TTRPG PEOPLE: THE FONT OF YOUR RULEBOOK IS STORYTELLING. THE PICAS OF YOUR TABLES? STORYTELLING. This isn't a joke I am 500% serious. Visual design = storytelling.

Can't stress enough how much fun I'm having doing procgen narrative on this game and making people root for terrible things to happen to babies and immediately regretting their cheers for a drug relapse or death by crop monster.

I've loved working with @tv-neato.bsky.social on this, he's got such good design instincts every time

Demonschool is OUT NOW! It's time to dive into a critically-acclaimed new-style tactics RPG, where motion equals action! Available on PC, Mac, Linux, Steam Deck (Verified), Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox! store.steampowered.com/app/1900250/...

everyone on a game is a storyteller and the storytellers on Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator fuckin’ despise the incentives of late stage capitalism also that kid beto is pretty cool

It's easy to forget that games generally took a lot less time to get made. They tended to be triaged and released warts-and-all and nothing ever really got fixed after that point Silent Hill 3 was made in under 9 months. Now even smaller games often take 3-5 years. We see impacts with huge time-lag

think you shipped a game with technical debt? buddy you just executed a heist

We don't know. What we do know is the wiring diagram works. We built it, virtually, in @godotengine.org. We fed it scans of the books we found. And the books are very, very strange. The "game" that resulted is also strange. We're hoping people can make sense of it for us.

I'm disappointed paid items and loot boxes are coming to Fortnite. It's clear they're spooked by Roblox and worried they're losing younger players, so they're incorporating the worst parts of Roblox. I wrote about what parents can do for @crossplayblog.bsky.social www.crossplay.news/p/fortnite-i...

Today is the day to tell a strange story. The long version we'll tell later, but the short version is this. In an attic, in his late great-uncle's house, @jon.inkle.co found a locked trunk. It took twenty years to open. Last summer he did. Inside was a wiring diagram, and a stack of books.

Wanted: Weapons of Fate is dope as hell and if you wanna be a better game developer, you should probably play (or make!!) a 6/10 licensed game today

I’m super happy to officially announce our next project, spearheaded by @threeohfour.bsky.social! “Gilt” is a sci-fi/fantasy game about a priest haunted by a dying God. Learn more (and wishlist!) over here: store.steampowered.com/app/3979770

This thing took so much work, from so many people - RPGs have so many little working parts, and we did so much to try to make this world feel alive. The team is just vibrating right now, seeing how this all goes, but for now it's great to just have it out there, in people's hands.

I just got an email from the bank titled “Sports Betting vs. Investing”. …We are so damn cooked, man.

pivoting from teaching gambling to kids to teaching trading finance to kids (which is also teaching gambling)

"it's life just kept going downhill" same buddy, same "hosted teenage parties as an ADULT" no, I disavow you Shifter

Personally I'm proud of Shifter and how much they suck. So psyched to hear more people raving about the wild rides these babies go on. Also inside baseball the scandal that triggered the net worth priveleges being stripped? That was in fact the failed parties. Parties are high stakes for rich kids.

Hannah is an incredible writer who always looks to take on new challenges and build her skills up to support any game she’s on. There is nothing that daunts her or that she says “no a writer doesn’t do that” she’s a full team player. I hope someone grabs her quick. She’s incredible.

Here’s my massive interview with Dispatch’s writer Pierre Shorrete - touching on superhero fatigue, the nature of choice in narrative games, how it started as live action, how it became a “far greater” succes than expected, and what’s next www.inverse.com/gaming/dispa...

Tales of Lost Ages is sitting below that 10 review threshold for Steam User Score (and a corresponding bump in the Steam Algorithm) Especially with holiday sales coming up, it would be a massive help to get that review count up to 10. If you've played the game, please consider leaving a review

Glad to see Polygon cover the resistance of game developers to generative AI--and to be able to speak briefly to one of the greatest dangers of this entire thing. Gen AI doubles down on making MORE SPACE for production issues that *already make games worse.* www.polygon.com/arc-raiders-...

so funny bc the real reviews are like @pcmag.com: 5/5, "one of the must-play titles of the year." @polygon.com: "Ambrosia Sky finds sci-fi gold in the mess that death leaves behind" @ign.com: "beautiful, intimate, deeply affecting" lmao get shit on nerds store.steampowered.com/app/3580160/...

No genAI at Kaizen Game Works either, in Promise Mascot Agency or Paradise Killer. All pure, human nonsense and love.

There's no gen AI in Forbidden Solitaire either.
