I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct. That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9nO...

Jesus fucking christ, Itch just nuked a huge amount of adult content because of payment processors putting the squeeze on them. That is an UNGODLY MASSIVE amount of stuff.

I had such an amazing time playing and finishing @sandwitchdev.bsky.social - I highly recommend playing it all the way to the end 💖

When you dismiss an element of your game as not being worth the effort, you rob your players of a chance to connect in meaningful, unexpected ways. Perfect example from my time in Gotham Knights: I was tasked with writing emails. Emails! A very possibly thankless job, but wait, there's more...

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

Really hard to say what the worst part of this NEA grant termination letter is (sent at 10pm on a Friday!) but I think it's finding out the federal government's priority for arts funds is now "fostering AI competency" rather than funding literature.

Guess what I finally got in my mail today!! Excited to read @debugmag.com 🌸✨

A little recap of our year so far! [1/7] 🌟 We started the year with Fishbowl being announced as part of Sony’s India Hero Project. It was a surreal feeling. As our first game, being a first time studio and a two person team, we still pinch ourselves. Art by @louiejams.bsky.social 💜

I wonder if people, especially those working in game/design send in their resumes via post. It feels like there is a lot of opportunity to do some interesting personalisation that will get you noticed 🤔 along with you being able to showcase a bit more of your creative side.

Shadowhand Solitaire is out now! Go check it out!

Don't forget to stretch your hands and wrists fellow artists/gamers!

If you are making a spooky game, come by the Gamedev India discord and talk about how you are doing it 🙈 I was just curious about designing dread 😬 👉 discord.com/channels/443...

I made a pixel art upscaling/rotation algorithm called cleanEdge! It makes rotating pixel art as clean as possible torcado.com/cleanEdge I made a tool for it too! drop your sprites in and get some nice rotated or upscaled versions :)
