After over 60+ hours of Demonschool QA, this soundtrack haunts me even when I close my eyes to sleep (complimentary)

I dont use generative Ai in my games because if I dont personally lick every part of my game how will people know its mine

One of the last big changes we made to the game is how we handle dates. The UI was designed in Europe, the game director is in the US- Nobody could agree on what date format to use, so I unified the entire game on YY/MM/DD- That way nobody’s happy! Highly recommend using this format, feels powerful.

I have had this in my head for a solid day now and can finally go to sleep

ONE WEEK! UNTIL DEMONSCHOOL!!!! store.steampowered.com/app/1900250/...

This is less a subtweet, and more of a thought I just want to get out there: Bad people can make good art. When a game that people liked turns out to have been made by someone shitty, it doesn't instantly become bad. You don't have to go full Sour Grapes on it. Two things can be true at once.

It’s not 11:11 on the West Coast but I’m out early. Sassoon knew his way around both a trench and a pen.

I agree. Sadly, those who'd argue against AI use have a big Venn diagram overlap with folks who order Sysco slop at the said restaurant, say "it's really good!" when the server asks, and even if the food's no good, they're as incurious about how the sausage is made as they are about games they play.

Trivia: this piece of Dorothy art has been remastered. There’ll be a very small number of people who have a coaster with the original pixel art from 10 years ago. I think we gave that away at a PAX or EGX or something.

VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action (2016)

The only NNN I condone

AAAAAH!!!! Oh wait, 2026. phew

Seeing “GTA” and “November 19” in the same sentence was enough to make my life flash before my eyes.

Can we all agree to start calling it Regurgitive AI? I think that needs to become a thing.

We beat call of duty 😎

VA-11 Hall-A is currently being exhibited at the Art Center NEW in Yokohama alongside a bunch of other cool games for their Under Commons exhibit until November 16th. artcenter-new.jp/en/under-com... (photos via x.com/ArtCenterNEW...)

Say it ain’t so. The CEO of a major AAA company being reasonable about genAI!? Smdh. Who are we gonna skewer now. 🙄 (God, give us more of this and less of whatever the fuck EA execs have been smoking.)

I also want to specifically call out the work of @lottemakesstuff.pink on our layering tech here. It's hard (for me, an ignoramus) to describe how complex the layering is in this game but sprites over 3D backgrounds with effects is no simple thing.

ngl if youre new to Bluesky or just need to hear this this exact model of interacting online has saved me so much stress while interacting with the torment nexus Platforms like Twitter actively encourage your cortisol addiction when shit starts raising your blood pressure, hit the brick, walk away

I just read a post of someone calling 1000xRESIST “lesbian YIIK” and it has officially taken me out for the workweek

Get that 2048 shit away from me, this is a Threes household. We remember the old ways. The true ways. Put some respect on Sirvo’s name.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Necrosoft's Brandon Sheffield discusses the decision to delay Demonschool in order to avoid Hollow Knight: Silksong. "I was on the side of staying, and the publisher was on the side of delaying. Ultimately, I think they were right." www.gamesindustry.biz/silksong-rea...

Seeing dudes try to step to the menswear guy makes me understand better the mentality of the regular Street Punks who keep hassling Kiryu in Act 3 of every Yakuza game when hes got all the abilities unlocked

smart guy in an rpg: hmm.. party member: what's wrong? smart guy: it's nothing. (20 hours later) smart guy: so it's true... i knew it.

This the kinda shit people say to me in the smoking zone outside the gay bar

I’ve never attended an actual book club discussion, but the answers here give me the sensation of what it’d be like to go to one where folks sincerely engage with the material. www.reddit.com/r/silenthill...

The worst game I’ve ever worked on was the one with 12 shareholders. (Still an indie game.)
