“Please have 2+ years of experience with an engine we announced on Friday” really sums up the state of the games industry.

Hi if you are writing a modern day drama in tv or film or even perhaps a videogame, can I ask that you please not immediately make the drug addict or dealer Scottish. I know that Trainspotting was set in the Midlothian region but we also invented a swathe of modern tech that would embarrass Edison

People purposefully leaving negative reviews to try and knock your game out of Overwhelmingly Positive because they think 'it's not deserved' but rating the game an 8/10 is wild!

It's time to get our first pirate ship! 🏴‍☠️ We're back live with WINDROSE! www.twitch.tv/beacondev
