Since it's Men's Day, fellas if your friend says or does something fucked up you really need to be brave and hold them accountable. That's the only way this gets fixed my dudes! ❤️

Everything about making video games is harder than you think.

It worked in prod

There's a great post here from one of the folks still at the studio rounding up those affected, bsky.app/profile/hipp... These folks are immensely talented despite Hyper Light Breaker not quite finding its spot

With a ton of games coming out in the next few weeks, I feel it's a good time to send a reminder out into the world. When you find a bug in a live game, it's unlikely that it wasn't noticed, but that there wasn't time to resolve it. Be nice to your QA friends, they've *seen* things.❤️

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight. I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open: emmkid.info

It's been a while. Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs. store.steampowered.com/app/2396130/...

Ever wanted to collaborate with other artists, but talking to them is too intimidating? Come join the CollabTrain, running from Sept 6 to Oct 11, and collaborate semi-anonymously. It's like a game of art telephone, with a twist! More info at 🎨 collabtrain.carrd.co 🚂 Signups are open until Sept 4th!

Gremlins on the Apple IIe I don't know if it was the utter silence for most of it or what, but this was the first video game I ever played as a kid and almost turned me off the whole thing. Freaked me right out at 5 years old (The following year I played Zelda 1 and Mario 2, the rest is history 😂)

Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available September 4 on all platforms and day one on Xbox Game Pass! Watch the release trailer: youtu.be/6XGeJwsUP9c

I was definitely not expecting a release date that was this soon! Maybe now the internet can chill a bit 😂

Can we stop using dystopian fiction as a blueprint rather than a warning.

Seeing a console cross the $700 mark (PS5 Pro will be $749) is kinda insane. Not unlikely for another wave of increases to be necessary as well in the future with the current policies; next gen is going to end up impossibly expensive in the US at this rate

This is a bummer to see, the library of games produced by this studio is vast and remarkable. Going to repost Mike's shoutout thread as well, lots of info on individuals from their recent release, if you see any of those folks that have been affected and have an opening that fits.

Just looked at the Steam page and saw this. Seems they're finally getting a chance to do it? 🙌🙌

I hope everyone is able to stay safe and that any tsunami that arises from the massive earthquake is minimal. Crazy to have a tsunami watch for the entire west coast RN. Thinking of Hawaii + Japan rn. 🙏

I feel called out 😂

Hey artists, quote with your woman art 💕

For those affected by the Microsoft layoffs yesterday, here's the Epic Games openings: www.epicgames.com/site/en-US/c... Lots available across the US, Brazil, and the UK with many being remote within those locations. There's a ton of great people here and we make a lot of neat stuff!

There has to be a better way than this. There has to be a better games industry than this happening to so many people, over and over and over. This isn't good enough.

Today I again remind folks at that we offer free tickets to @gaconf.bsky.social for folks caught in layoffs and unable to find work

The memo that essentially says, "thanks for carrying us, goodbye" is truly unhinged. You could probably trim 5% of the salaries of the top end and pay all of these people indefinitely. I also can't fathom why anyone would ever consider working at Microsoft or subsidiaries at this point.

I can’t begin to tell you how incredible localization teams are. They don’t “just” translate - they rewrite jokes and idioms to recreate the same emotional (or funny) in a different culture and language style, and give invaluable advice on character, regional dialects, and cultural norms

Sigh.

Took a nap. Woke up from nap. Saw news. Wish i could go back to nap.

There's some really obvious ones here, but for the slightly less obvious ones: Warframe Dark Souls 2 Darkest Dungeon All games I also played across multiple platforms

This probably needs updating, but this is a good starter pack for talented Black folks who actively make cool video games. go.bsky.app/t7UZsr

We are making a giant city megasim called Streets of Fortuna so the team went to Istanbul on a research trip. They met 32 cats 😺 Here's Artemis, the first cat sighting in Istanbul. Very kind, wary eyes, soft purr.

Can’t wait for you all to play!!! Very proud to reveal LEGO Fortnite: Expeditions! youtu.be/hMOPVQSHIic?...

Ok. Game’s out soon. Long time followers know that that means only one thing: time for a very long thread of the fantastic people behind the cool thing you’re about to play. I know this maybe feels pointed given current discourses, but I swear I’ve been doing it for over a decade.

This place sucks. The only miniscule solace I get is that my dad isn't around to see all of this, because the last ~10 years would have killed him. Rarely political and not perfect, but was always gracious for living here to be able to raise up anyone less fortunate than him as a result.

Folks in QA don’t have control over what gets fixed. We identify and outline issues, we anticipate how/when/what will need to be tested, but we don’t fix them and we aren’t the final say on what gets fixed or when. We’re also regularly understaffed and don’t have enough dev tool support to scale up.

I've played nearly all of these! Special shoutout to Terminal Velocity which I only had as a shareware version, but still played those levels a ton

End of the Abyss looks SO damn good. Sci-fi Little Nightmares is a day one.

looking to talk to game devs in the US here on visas. is that you? please get in touch! meganfarokhmanesh.76 on signal, open DMs, [email protected]

I had no idea there were DLC plans! I think it'll be tough to follow-up the excellent base game, but I'm intrigued. Still Wakes the Deep is also still on gamepass for anyone that hasn't checked it out yet, highly recommended.

This is confirmed to be a SH1 remake. They did such an awesome job with the SH2 remake, I'm really interested to see how this turns out!

Things are gonna be a bit rough for me the next few months cuz the tax man is not nice to self employed folk- SO, I'm looking for more work to supplement my income, also, if you enjoy my work and want to support me please check out my Patreon <3 patreon.com/katchdraws

We have reached a tentative agreement with the video game bargaining group, which includes some of the largest video game companies in the world, and we are hopeful that our video game strike will be suspended in the coming days. #SagAftraStrong ow.ly/wZzx50W6Lwv
