Listener Q&A! We’ll be taking your questions TODAY as we prepare for our holiday recordings so reply here with what you want to ask!

HEYO!!! Our long-in-development new game AWAYSIS has our first official demo available in the wild! Its a custom physics-based 1-4 player game about little animals running around a beautiful sky castle beating the crap out of goblins and zombies with a huge sword! www.xbox.com/en-US/games/...

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

Let's not let them just normalize this - at Denkiworks we don't use generative AI at all.

Dispatch might be an all-timer, y’all

It’s a bit hard for me to put into words just how very much this project meant to me, but if you know me at all, you probably understand. Echoing Jon’s sentiments below in expressing big love and gratitude to everyone involved. This game is genuinely a blast and I hope you’ll check it out! 💚

At what point do I just become a Rematch streamer??

File this one under “bangerz”

Who doesn’t love a cheeky chip?

WE’RE GOING DIGITAL 🎸

In honor of the 40th anniversary, my anecdote from the EGM issue #200 cover feature “Top 200 Games of Their Time” on Super Mario Bros. — which, of course, ranked #1. Shout out to Scott Dunn for turning me on to the crazy new game he played at Godfather’s Pizza in Brentwood

Fire Emblem makes any Direct a 10/10 tbh

I never post here, but i found out my book was used to train AI, so now I'm doing my part to try and bankrupt those fucksticks. Got a book? Let's sue 'em together!

Reminder: if you are worried about AI replacing you as an artist: don’t use AI voices, If you don’t want composing to be handed over to AI: don’t use it to write text. You get the idea. If you value your job: protect others jobs too.

This is one of the coolest things we've got to do since starting @denkiworks.bsky.social. It was really rad that such a large partner were so interested in what we are doing here and with TANUKI... that they'd want to support us and make a documentary about it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9Ud...

Addicted to Rematch for moments like this. Down a goal with seconds left, 12, 11, 10. Everybody wants the ball but you’re the one who has it. Can you be a hero? Why the hell not.

Happy World International 8-4 Day from Tokyo 🎉 Ultra busy wrapping up a dream project over here so no time to play stuff for “fun” at the moment but if you’ve got the time and the inclination, why not play some video games today? ❤️

Dear me, I was…is out today! Took me about an hour to play in full. It’s light on interactivity but packs real emotional punch, and good god is it gorgeous. A real triumph in textless storytelling—and only $8! It’ll be in my head and my heart for a long time to come.

This game looks like everything Fashion Dreamer wasn’t and I’m SO READY 😭🫶🥹

Lots I’d love from this Direct but I’m especially keen for something in the Style Savvy vein, something creative and relaxing and full of characters asking for help and getting it.

Kawaguchiko for the weekend. Hoping for better Fooj tomorrow

FIFA is, as usual, disgusting

This game kicks so much ass

I’m sorry, I’m grateful, really I am—but wtf is this? My first Crown Rare is a backpack? Incredible.

Welp, guess I’m replaying Hotel Dusk again while I wait for this beauty to arrive

One last shout for this ahead of today's showdown in Seattle!

One of FIFA’s biggest mistakes (which isn’t surprising considering their inherent sexism) is not launching the women’s Club World Cup first. It’s actually desired and would be so well received, which would have laid the blueprint for the men and given FIFA proof of concept to sell.

It’s not an exaggeration to say I owe my career in large part to Jake’s generosity and belief. He’s an A+ guy and a constant inspiration to this day.

Nintendo just announced a new Splatoon game on Nintendo Today???? Splatoon Raiders

It’s HERE!! The incredibly talented and passionate team here @17-bit.bsky.social have been working for years on the ultimate physics-based dungeon brawler, inspired by the aesthetics of Japanese action-RPG classics of yesteryear. An amazing partnership with CULT too!

Didn’t expect to be overcome with Digimon hype on Switch 2 launch day, but then I remembered I’m me

Honored to join such an all-star cast for the localization of Monster Hunter Wilds! Hope everyone is having a blast with it ☺️
