Finally checking out Shadows Over Loathing and I am having a great time let me tell you

Tired of pretending Im not a Cyberpunk 2077 NPC

To my gamedev friends, more of this please 🤣

I love narrative consequences in my stories but yes this is entirely how I played BG3

Reasons to Grocery shop: ❓❓❓ Reasons to not Grocery shop: 7° weather, dog napping in my lap

to young people: you may at some point have heard about the Y2K problem. some people may have told you it wasn't a big deal i need you to understand the only reason it wasn't a big deal was that everyone spent loads of time fixing code before it could become a problem, which is why it never did

Hey Boston-area folks! If you're around, come say hi to me! I'm chatting with folks about game writing, story, and other cool stuff on February 19th

I have been in the industry 14 years now and have been part of 14 games and many of them and my personal work can be seen on my portfolio and I'm available for environment work in the UK, Here is some work for 4 of them titles. #gamedev #3dart www.artstation.com/pikminman

Get the baby a snack

I have officially launched TrueRef's new timed gesture tool (Flow) & free pose library (Pose)! Both are linked on trueref.io. While limited right now, both will contain our full free library by the 1st. 🤍 Flow: community.trueref.io/trueref_gest... Pose: community.trueref.io/free_referen...

Of all the stupid and cool shit I made while working on Destiny labeling the interact to pet the robot dog as "Activate Good Boy Protocol" remains one of my favorite

I think I've settled on some verbiage for myself. Ai has "gathered" the summary, it does not "think".

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

A personal story but to get the copyright sign off on the Lincoln Center in Marvel's Spider-Man 1, we had to create very specific lush grass on the roof of one building that we only used there. Probably occupied a 10 meter space

Me: *17 and makes videogame music videos, also applying to colleges* Mom: "Heather, people make videogames as a job. You could do that?" Me:*26 and applying to over 200 environment artist jobs* "technical artist? Let's give it a whirl. Why not"

A much needed break

I don't know who needs a more technical person to say this, But AI fundamentally cannot replace human creativity. Breathe easy, friends.

Gooood morning! 🌞

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

It’s here! We wrote a book about game writing and narrative… and it’s finally COMING OUT. We would love for people to check it out! This is a tome for all levels as we believe that sometimes going back to basics can solve even the most complicated problems. www.routledge.com/The-Definiti...

I've been playing Peak recently and decided to "borrow" some concepts from its very clever stamina/health bar system. Here's poison working in Flightless Fables!🥴 #indiegame #videogames #roguelike #Kickstarter #gamedev

Help I have an incredible need

We're excited and proud to announce that Digital Foundry is now fully independent, having parted ways amicably with IGN. In this DF Direct Special, we share our thoughts and aspirations for the future of the channel: youtu.be/tl7bIJ2yu4I

CDPR is hiring for a bunch of game jobs, y'all. No writing roles on my team at this moment, but lots of other positions. It's a really good place to land www.cdprojektred.com/en/jobs

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

NDAs and a competitive job market can make it feel difficult to even acknowledge that these things happen. Hot take: Everyone deserves to have their humanity respected. www.gamesindustry.biz/ubisoft-tria...

Also a deep dive into the improvements we've made with Reloaded.

Not the spice of life I'm looking for

I have a chronic condition: If I say "Split Gate" I really meant to say "Split Fiction"

Blue Prince asks us- are we content with room 46? Definitely Unrelated: My notebook looks like a background texture for a forum banner in 2008.

Can this be considered "Man-Maid" media? youtu.be/SxtQBCnjCfs?...

My upcoming visual horror novel is both dark and beautiful. It is my best-written game and a mature tale of the human psyche: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/... Less than two weeks to release! Wishlists would be appreciated! 💚💛 #visualnovel #horrorgame #indiegame #gamedev

Excited I can say one of the things we've been working on at Disbelief! news.xbox.com/en-us/2025/0...

What is the lifespan of software? What if you make software that's silly and full of whimsy? Will people remember it? Anyway, here's a video someone recently posted of “Good Luck, Babe!” by Chappell Roan performed through the composer feature in Mario Paint, a game released on Super Nintendo in 1992

I grew up in a time where Nintendo, SEGA, and Sony ruthlessly dunked on each other CONSTANTLY and it was hilarious.

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏 We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️ Find it here: store.steampowered.com/app/3167970/...

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (2006) horse animation with lead character animator Christiane Meister. Awesome to see an animator so in love with the subject.

My portfolio is on cara - cara.app/axl99 So far I have personal work, indie game stuff, mobile game stuff, and some cinematic storyboards from my time on Gears 5 and The Long Dark ep4. There are projects from older jobs that are still under NDA that I'm still not able to show publicly.

It's been 30 years of A Goofy Movie, and 31 years since we briefly lived in Paris while my dad worked on it! Truly one of the coolest things as a kid, to hang out at the studio or watch pencil tests over dinner.♥️ Also eternally grateful to mom for secreting away a bunch of original model sheets:

I’m feeling a lot of emotions, but South of Midnight is out into the world to be received however it will be received I spent three years of my life working on this, a game I would’ve loved to have as a kid. It means so much to me and I hope it resonates with folks. Thanks yall.

So… The Wishlist is up on our Publisher site!! If you want a handy how-to guide on game writing and narrative please check out “The Definitive Game Narrative Guide” Pre-orders open August 19th!! www.routledge.com/The-Definiti...

Hi! All my current contract will be coming to an end soon so I am available for any full-time or part-time prop ,character or background design work.

I started playing #Avowed. So far, it feels like a giant love letter to Skyrim. The environments are full and have interesting verticality. Dialogue options have made me laugh. All around, great work to the teams involved.
