E750.1 Souls wander after death.

Hey man, we cool? I just noticed that when I look at you the reticle turns red.

Goku: This Sparrowhawk guy seems strong! Ursula K. Le Guin: Yes, he was quite strong, but strength meant nothing compared to his foolishness. Goku: Wow.

left 4 dead and its sequel are full of some of the best small details and bits of environmental storytelling you can find in games. valve's jay pinkerton told me it's because the team opened up the writing process to the whole studio. as others have said about L4D's graffiti: AI could never

there is a valuable lesson here to all game developers

this book goes crazy but it doesn’t kick into gear until page 182. truly you could not publish this today lmao

Dinner looks delicious dear but it seems a little... linear. Where are the rogue-like elements that make every new bite interesting and fresh. The re-eatability value here is not very high if I'm being honest

6AM flight tomorrow. why did kate do this to me. what was she thinking.

What I like best about the Artemis II photos is that it was taken by actual humans. An actual person had to frame it and manually adjust settings. It's their own artistic rendition of what they thought looked best at the time, something no probe, rover or unmanned spacecraft can take. it's art

“ferry to the boatless” is an exceptional phrase

In what is a not great time for the industry it *absolutely rules* to see some mega successful indies using their platform to lift up other indies.

I interviewed @sunsetvisitor.studio and @blacktabbygames.com about their upcoming game, Prove You're Human, and how the trend of developers becoming publishers is an emerging solution to *waves hands* the games industry. gizmodo.com/how-two-indi...

indies publishing indies is exciting. more of this!

Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day.

this little bushtit loves my office window

one of my favorite venues for sff criticism is running their first fundraiser! if you value serious engagement with genre, throw them a few bucks!

pentiment likers stay elite

Pentiment likers, do any of you have a high quality screenshot of Clara in Act III telling Andreas to make art that matters for people who care?

Longtime college friend of mine, Mike Prinke, was among those laid off at Epic Games: he has been fighting terminal brain cancer, and now he, his wife, and kid, have no income or health insurance. Sharing here in hopes it can reach the right people on their behalf. #epicgames

Because not shipping is the tier 0 fail case for game development, long ideation gets a bad rap. But for some class of design problems or ideas generally, there is no substitute for letting them steep at their own pace

Friday afternoon I posted my first YouTube vid, about why mid tier games are becoming difficult to get funded or be discoverable. I was hoping for 50 views but surprisingly it somehow hit over 5000 views with 140 positive comments. Happy to welcome more feedback/discussion: ▶️ youtu.be/REZiMNDy0l8

We all seem to have forgotten one of the most truly delightful and surprising indie interactive fiction drops of the last decade. 17776 is ostensibly about football, which is why at first glance I thought I wouldn't like it. But it really makes me smile, and the world could use that right now.

now this is gaming

Listen I know things may be dire in the games industry but I think it could all be fixed. All we have to do is start making games that match up with my priorities and preferences, and also start funding studios headed by myself and people I like,

Can we get 10,000 RTs for this

dodgers home opener tomorrow :)

This fucking industry I swear to god
