I'm about to live comment on a two player speedrun of Oddsparks!

Oh my god they're playing BEYBLADES at Gamescom??

If you're going to #Devcom or #Gamescom '25, there's train construction work that could affect you. If you're staying in Düsseldorf, the S6 would've been one of the trains you'd take straight to the conference. Now, it's endstation is Köln Mülheim and you'll need to get an additional tram.

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

Oddsparks has been in early access for a year now and we're putting our 1.0 stamp on it and shipping it to PC, Xbox Series X|S & PS5 on 27th May '25 If you want something cosy, thinky and puzzly, please take a look! On PC, you can also play with your friends. www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2jV...

My schedule has some space from June onwards, so send me a message if you want to improve your tools & pipelines! I teach teams how to design good workflows via tools strategy consulting, OpenUSD workflow design, Tool UX Design masterclasses, and workshops. rystorm.com/consulting

Hi everyone, so my desktop PC died. I tried to resurrect it myself to no avail. I still have a laptop so I can write, but without a proper machine I can't do stuff like mock reviews. A kind person got me most of the way to a new PC, but if you can help at all, I'm at ko-fi.com/malindy

We're kind of new here so a fresh introduction is probably a good idea, right? We are Limit Break, the largest mentorship program aimed at underrepresented people working in the UK games industry! Our goal is to help marginalised people progress their careers More info: www.limitbreak.co.uk

Happy to announce I will be on GDQ Hotfix this Saturday speedrunning Oddsparks by @massiveminiteam.com starting a bit before 4:00pm EDT.

Oddsparks is on Speedrun dot com, baybee. Primarily due to the efforts of our community member Hopop. Try beating his time, or maybe a set a first ever record in a new category while it's all fresh!

Cool game dev/industry news. EU Consumer Protection network has set down key principles for virtual currencies (ec.europa.eu/commission/p...) including: #1: Providing virtual currencies in sets that do not mismatch with item costs. No more needing to buy 2 packs of 330 gems for your 400 gems items!

Going sickos.jpg because someone's modded Bad Apple! into Oddsparks. I overdeveloped the logic feature and added stuff that's unnecessary for the core game exactly for things like this, and I'm hoping that now one person has done it, it'll encourage more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yrn...

There's a petition to ban conversion practices (targeting LGBTQIA+ people) in the European Union. We need one million signatures, and we currently have 180,000+. If you live in Europe (even if you don't), spread the word ! 🌈🔥✊ eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

Happy holidays from Massive Miniteam, the Sparks, and all the creatures of #Oddsparks! ❄️🔥⚙️✨

Good morning. Let me check if I’ve got this right. - Juni created a bot that shows what Aaron (head of trust and safety) likes - His likes are public information - Aaron likes a porn post - Trust and safety ban the bot and creator in 16 minutes - Creator appeals and ban is upheld

🍵Tea Wrapped🍵 You've made... ✨700 mugs of tea✨ this year! 🍵🍵🍵 And you've left... ✨300 of them half-drank✨! 🫗🫗🫗 You've tried... ✨20 different types of tea,✨ but still mostly drink the same bagged tea you've had since you were 👦 a child 👦, forever yearning for a simpler time! 😂🥹😭

Yeah, this is an occupational hazard of being a game designer.

So the trip is 65km long, and a cursory search tells me that gulls fly at 10-20m/s. So if we go for a rough calculation with 15m/s, these gulls were making daily commutes about 70 minutes long one-way for crisps.

Starting a new game narrative job listing thread since the old one's getting long in the tooth. Wanna get new BSky folks up to speed with my posts. #gamedev #writing #narrative Okay, 1st entry: ea.gr8people.com/jobs/185329/... Campaign Creative Lead Writer (Battlefield) - EA. Marina Del Rey, CA.

For new game writers and narrative designers who aren't sure how to build your portfolio or learn beginner skills, I highly recommend jams like this. They're also a fantastic way to meet fun people!

It's the weekend, so I have some time if you want to know what weird games I like.

Helen Mirren thinks it's "magical" that dancing in orbit around the earth are a hundred robots singing (at 1575Mhz, one eternal note held halfway between B♭ and B, 21 octaves above middle C), and any time you can hear four of them sing at once you know exactly where in the universe you are

Currently at the "pepe silvia" phase of designing systems, where I'm staring at my miro board and chewing over all the disparate pieces of information and how the building costs and the quests and unlocks and the loot drops and the recipes and new features all meld into a single experience.

@ozone.birb.house hi, game dev here! Thanks for setting the label up!

Very cool functionality of Bluesky I didn't know about: I've seen "Starter Packs" for presenting a curated group to follow but I only used them to follow individuals in the list. Turns out you can not just follow everyone but also block everyone in a starter pack in two clicks!

The Oddsparks demo is out! Please enjoy our beginner-friendly but deep automation game with your friends, it has online co-op and you can untangle your messes together! store.steampowered.com/news/app/181...
