Boiling Point (@playziggurat.bsky.social) mentioned!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️ "[Boiling Point is] something of a punchline thanks to its floating jaguars, but unparalleled in its respect for player choice" 😌

me installing yet another roguelike knowing full well what they do to my free time

Much like a real coin pusher machine, Raccoin had lines out the wazoo at gamescom as the demo was stupid amounts of fun. I can confirm that the full thing is that and more. Congrats to the teams!

what if I start leaving letters off of people's names the way they do with mine? i don't know who jasmin is, but it certainly ain't me!

If you dig Diablo 2 and making overpowered builds, you're gonna like this - give me a shout if you want a key! 💀

Tomodachi Life has no filter in it btw

Placeholder assets in a game should look obnoxiously temporary, so obvious that no one would mistake it for the final asset. In past games we've used the doge dog (rip) as an icon, hot pink versions of characters, our CEO's head, etc. If you use a temp asset that seems passable, it may stay there.

the one thing we're not going to do is judge working class people for the things they do to make ends meet capitalism is the problem, not the workers

@grapedosmil.bsky.social Happy birthday! Sorry, I mean Happy Regan Day! 🥳💛

This one is super cute. Got deckbuilding with Nintendogs and bits of Animal Crossing 💛

One week in, still blown away by the response to @continuemag.bsky.social. Thank to everyone who backed or shared. Hyped as hell to deliver this magazine for the folks who believe in it and -- most importantly -- want something like this. Cheers legends! <3 www.kickstarter.com/projects/con...

Jamaicans are really cousins to Irish people, Brazilians, and we have a ton in common with wider Latin America too. Our country motto isn't Out of Many, One People for nothing!

Happy St. Patrick's Day specifically to Thomas Gould, the politician who went viral when everyone realised the Cork accent is just like the Jamaican one www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMuV...

he's so real for this honestly

saw that Pokopia players are making Basic House slums for their Pokemon to live in and I just think if you do that you should be put in prison. like, not in the game but in real life

Delighted for GDM and the FT team! Proud to have played a small part of this one, it's the second BAFTA-nominated game of my career 😊

Are you an organizer or head of a games dev community, based in the UK? (Can be design, audio, composers, artists, games course leaders, entire studios, whatever!) If so, DM/reply to this post. I'm organizing a cool event in the warmer months with an emphasis on bringing folks together Plz RT!

You can hear @apthomson.bsky.social talk about what it means to win the Seumas McNally Grand Prize right now! AP was a co-creator of last year's fantastic Consume Me. With Titanium Court, he's the first developer to win in consecutive years.

i cannot overstate how daft it is that Highguard is shutting down by the way when companies have too much money and can do shite like this without trying to turn it around, the industry is a lot poorer for it

Highguard vs. Liz Truss lettuce

Cool game, just announced (not by me!) - Black Sailors, a tactical RPG about formerly enslaved people becoming pirates in Brazil 🏴‍☠️⛵ store.steampowered.com/app/4230650/...

Here's my March thread of gaming, tech, culture and entertainment writing jobs! Freelance, full-time and mock review opps when I find 'em 🌟 Please repost and share with your journalist friends! 💛

💰THE OUTERSLOTH CONTRACT 💰 We just released the FULL contract and terms that all our games sign! We hope this challenges the status quo of what you see out there. In a nutshell: 💸 Pre-recoup 50/50 💸 Post-recoup 15/85 💸 Terms after 7 years www.innersloth.com/the-outerslo...

Really curious about the positioning of this. Is it supposed to be a console that'll save you money in the long-run? Spend a bit less than you would on a separate console and PC, plus save extra on the brand exclusives with Game Pass?

"Have you read the recent discourse about newly released popular game?" No because I have

"It's one of these intricate little things that feels like an all-timer." 😲 High praise indeed on Titanium Court, thanks @caraellison.bsky.social and Rick! 💛
