mark ur calendars, next @outersloth.com game drops in October 🥳🔥 Battle Suit Aces by @team.trinketstudios.com goes so hard and I say this as someone who doesn't like mech themes lmfao (I KNOW I'M SORRY)

A few of my favorite of our environment shots from Sword of the Sea Reminder that I'm looking for work as an Environment Artist or 3D Artist 🙂

Battle Suit Aces is the new mecha card-battling RPG from Battle Chef Brigade developer Trinket Studios, and we can exclusively reveal it's arriving very, very soon. gameinformer.com/exclusive/20...

This this this this this! Also don't even try to imitate anything they did on the first game (as far as business and marketing) because your game is not releasing 8 years ago under those very different conditions.

it does not matter if a game is good when discussing layoffs. the point is that you can and probably will get laid off regardless of whether you do good work or not, and whether the thing you made makes money or not. i feel like this is common sense if you’re in this industry or adjacent to it.

don't quit your day job! work on the game part-time while keeping your day job! i was still part-time when Building Relationships got featured in Summer Game Fest (i ended up quitting bc management was very toxic) the indie dev scene is very different now compared to 10 years ago

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 my absolute pleasure to present to you our labor of love: Poly Fighter! We are HeartLoop Games! ♥

Had a great chat with @mossmakesgames.bsky.social (and @mcdoogleh.bsky.social) at the end of the day, dead on our feet, enjoying a chat about games and the industry while we waited to check out Rogue Eclipse. (S/O @dirtbagboyfriend.bsky.social for rec'ing it guaranteeing we'd check it out.)

So what's up with all those clone games on the App Stores and eShops and Robloxes of the world? Just how big of a problem are they? Innersloth's @victoriatran.bsky.social gives us the lowdown in her new regular column, Indie Insight. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/indi... [PAYWALLED]

Happy release day to Sword of the Sea, the latest game from Giant Squid, with ethereal soundtrack by @awintory.bsky.social :) I once again had the privilege of recording woodwinds, including this beautiful Mayan triple harmony drone flute. It has a haunting voice that's all throughout the score 🪈

I think what's wild is how so much effort has been put into putting ironclad NDA's or confidentiality agreements in place only for folks to be inputting sensitive information into a machine without giving it a moment's thought.

Artblast incoming from the team on Tron: Catalyst. Some great work on display and some lovely people to follow <3

Myself and the rest of the old Bithell art team have put together our own art blast for TRON: Catalyst! A lot of love went into crafting our version of The Grid, so please go and show some love to all the very talented folks that made it happen. www.artstation.com/artwork/oJeWGw

watched Clueless with my daughter yesterday, and The Matrix highway music popped into my head..
