We finally got to the bottom of what’s going on with the kindle devices version of my book. It’s mostly due to Amazon kindle having problems with non-Roman characters (such as the foreword in Japanese and my name in Arabic) The consequence of this is that it becomes unavailable to purchase there.

Had a great time reading Demystifying Creativity by @fawzi.zone. I especially liked how well researched it was and also the practical framework in the end (the CCM model). As a Producer, I think it’s so essential to understand how the creative process works and can look like. Big recommend 📚

Aaaaand the podcast interview with @fawzi.zone is online!!!! #gamedev #indiedev youtu.be/-7PNebd9FMo

Thank you everyone who reached out to me today in light of the recent restructuring that’s on going at Ubisoft and in the industry right now. I am unaffected and remain focused on my mission and responsibilities towards my team on Beyond Good and Evil 2 in Montpelier and our codev partners.

i did a state of the games industry talk to egdf (european game developer federation) members couple of days ago. would be curious to hear what your thoughts are :) youtu.be/NCjIwb6yPi0?...

I just heard that some people have had issues running my book on kindle devices. The publisher had a solve that may take a few days to update. Please let me know by next week if you’re still having any issues. 🙏🙏🙏

I know that face anywhere (grats @fawzi.zone)

I’m so glad I finally caught up and watched Belle. Not Hosoda’s strongest work but definitely the best soundtrack and most visually memorable 👏

Very happy with our The Habibis Game of the Year episode for 2024! If you feel like it, listen to @osamadorias.bsky.social, @fawzi.zone, and myself argue our way to our Top 10 list for a year that was very hard on the industry. thehabibis.transistor.fm/episodes/the...
