Congrats to all my friends at @nosebleedinteractive.com on developing Vampire Crawlers! It's a banger!

Creating fan art or art is great to see in #gameart portfolios. That said avoid using the logo unless you directly contributed to that project. If you need a logo to say it fits in a world is that project successful? Let your art speak for itself.

I really really love some of the design language in the Highguard concepts that are hitting artstation recently. Although I think I'm over the trend that Valorant and Destiny started with "what if an AK47 was made of crabs???" fantasy weapon skins.

Finished Vagrant Story. The later half is a bit rougher, but still a fantastic game. The visuals, music and story telling still hold up. Glad to have played it again after 26 years.

ANNOUNCING Hellscreen leaves early access on tomorrow! A couple of new weapons, performance fixes & controller support! Some previous reviews: "It's Doom with a rear view mirror" "It inspires lust" "The most fucked up driving game I've ever seen" store.steampowered.com/app/1410090/...

My pal and fellow Scottish developer Chris Brown recently put his solo-dev racing game AGX GP up on Steam and you should definitely give it a look if you like AAA Wipeout visuals with ridiculously-fast twitch arcade gameplay. store.steampowered.com/app/4250680/...

posting this on youtube tomorrow

How I have celebrated my (and Mewtwo's) birthday so far: - Wake up to 2ft long Ole and Steen cinnamon pastry meant for 8 people. Eat half of it. - Lie in till 10 - Play some CS 1.6 on a nostalgic whim - Solve a weird puzzle along with a Cracking the Cryptic video - Tidy for guests - Go climbing!

this is some proper art chat. so much art that one's hand might fall off from all the art.

The crazy thing about these google gemini clips, is that it's functionality as a "game" has not improved in the years since its announcement. It's simply faster and higher resolution. You cannot just make a louder and clearer radio and say it's closer to being a television!

To be clear, this is not a referendum on the quality of AI content. Markets are spooked because they believe tools like Project Genie will allow anyone to generate a video game. This is not actually possible. If you are a trader and would like to pay me 10 million dollars to explain why, hmu

is that matthew fuckin mercer

I used to buy art books for reference and inspiration. Then to support my favourite artists. Now, in part, I buy art books so that they can sit on a forgotten shelf, where my daughter or nieces can find them at a formative time in their teenage years and think what the fuck is this?? This rules??

I started following a super generic "Gaming" account that just posts engagement/nostalgia bait and low hanging news about incredibly well known AAA games. Nothing toxic, but definitely uninformed. I just realized how easy it is to become disconnected with what regular people know about games.

"Get me things, Daddy robot!" "Ah! You still have to say please and thankyou to robots, kiddo." "..Why???" "Because it wastes their cloud compute." "Okay. Get me things PLEASE daddy robot!" "beep boop yess masterr"

If you're not trying to minimize the human cost of your business decisions, then you're not making ethical decisions. End of discussion.

This is the most concise encapsulation of the game industry heading into 2026 I’ve seen.

Stalker 2 is not scaling well into the mid-game and I couldn't care less. Walking through haunted woodland with a geiger counter and a SVD in the rain is just such a mood.

I'm a badge-carrying Reddit disliker. I sometimes drop a video in one indie game channel or another, then get a 200 word chastisement for not formatting it right or whatever. So I started a no-nonsense, "normal" indie game Subreddit where people can post indie game videos, podcasts, reviews etc.

Unity developer comfort blueprint:

Some of my favorite foley is the anachronistic sounds that have become a shorthand. I like that when Carol switches off a flatscreen TV in Pluribus it makes a Cathode TV *schwip*. What other noise means a TV turning off!

Beach Battle Scenario (Brave Story: New Traveler, PSP, Game Republic, 2006)

had to wait until the servers weren't so overloaded, but I'm proud to announce that Quake Brutalist Jam 3 is out now! there's a standalone version that works like a game for those who don't own quake too! www.slipseer.com/index.php?re... this was a tremendous group effort, I couldn't be happier!

Watchtower Painting study

I've been in the games industry for about 15 years, and given how challenging I fully understand game development to be after ~5 shipped games, I feel like my opinions on how to design a game successfully only get more naive over time, and all the complexity lies in the business end.

you don't know me

What? You've never seen an ASW Harrier before?

Sephiroth has no legs. He lost them in Nibelheim Darth Maul style & fell into the Mako reactor His real body is encased in crystal and all his boss forms float & don’t have legs Whenever you see Sephiroth in FF7 walking, it’s a clone/projection of JENOVA His legs are still out there. Somewhere.

dude there are so many beautiful psp rpgs, can game devs just go back to making them like that again??? im trying frontier gate and its so pretty and charming!! im p sure the translation im using is just machine translated which sucks butt, but its not stopping me from enjoying it!!

Everyone is more or less okay with it” dude you make people emigrate to work there because you don’t do remote work, they risk having to change countries if they disagree with it

The games industry brings in 300 billion dollars a year. The guy who made DOOM gets his projects canceled, the guy who made Katamari Damacy is broke, everyone in your feed is begging for a job and there are 50 new games coming out on Steam every day all going towards buying Gabe Newell's next yacht

Overheard on a Battlefield hot mic: [keyboard sounds, sighs on death, I'm reaching for the mute-] [kid noise] "Aww, you alright princess?" [happy kid noise] "Good. I love you sooo much. You're my best friend in the whole world. Got your drink? Got your crisps?" 😭

#Weyland #Yutani #spaceship designs for #Predator #Badlands @thespaceshipper.com, this one is for you ^^

I'm super excited to support whatever Neon Giant makes next. They are a smaller studio with heaps of experience - people who know how to punch way above their weight. The Ascent was brilliantly scoped IMO, and I really want to see how they scale up their ambition. youtu.be/LYO8M69d_iQ

I know I said games twitter is too negative, but I can't let AAA Trailer season go by without my bi-yearly rant against Temporal Anti Aliasing- I DON'T WANT PERFECT HAIR RENDERING I JUST WANT VISUAL STABILITY AT NATIVE RESOLUTION! *incoherent motion blurred babbling*
