hello! My gcap talk about why you are all wrong about how/why games fail is here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHqb... I don't use social media often but I figure this might be useful for people. Idk what hashtags people use anymore but: #gamedev

2026 had my tarot read. Also happy new year!

When I was a bouncer: - Bizzy Bone (Bone Thugs & Harmony) complimented me as a 'wolverine looking motherfucka'. Awesome dude, treated staff great. - Sbtrkt was really chill when I accidentally kicked him out of his own shown when he was anonymous (he used to pretend to be his own sound tech).

PRESS! We'll have keys for our unholy roguelite Malys to go out for early access previews soon™️, and we want to make sure it ends up in the right hands! 🙌 Let us know if exorcisms, deckbuilders and former priests on motorbikes are up your alley 🖤

It's why my emails have prompt injection attacks in white font.

I've never had many opportunities to get range time with long arms (I've had a few years of tactical training with pistols but never rifles). Well call me Dr. Ay-Kay M.D., surgeon with a Type-56.

Idk how your day is going but we got double parked by a lion. A sentence I did not anticipate writ... Ok yes he licked the headlights, I touched the saliva and put it in my mouth. Two sentences.

Day idk of road tripping in SA 🇿🇦 Two days of safari ahead!

Hello I might be slow to respond to my emails because I am currently road tripping in South Africa to see turtles, lions and monkeys. If you need to reach me, send photos of animals. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

All our seniors started today. After four grueling long years, this is exactly how I feel right now:

I call from the depths of hell a merciless onyx-eyed killing machine. For eons it has only known destruction, and today, disappointment.

Hey, that's us! 🍪 We had a chat to Dean about our values, the concerns we share for the industry, and the approach we're taking to solve them. Learn more about the founders and our mission here 👇 venturebeat.com/games/dragon... #gamedev #gamestudio

We invented a whole new ocean to explore and are squandering it on destroying artist's lives. We are still trying to fully understand at a low-level how these models work; this is a significant discovery with major implications. Legislate, now, please. www.fastcompany.com/91309820/wha...

I realized I am too dumb to figure out how to build our frontend, and just dumb enough to build CLI frontends for each of our modules. Rich CLI facilitates my stupid with: - 'Live' multi-console - stateless (running off FastAPI server) - async message handling - pretty colors/widgets

Well folks here are *some* of the jobs coming up at GYLD: Senior Data Scientist: www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/41... Senior Python Engineer: www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/41... Project Manager/Business Analyst: www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/41... All roles are fully remote and games industry focused!

Next week we will begin posting job descriptions for 5-7 new roles for GYLD's secret special research branch. One role I'm really pressed to find asap is a Senior Python Engineer. 🏠 Fully remote (ANZ Timezones) 👾 Work on Indie-AAA games ⚗️ A lot of RnD If you, or you know anyone, DM me!

Science: Cats do not smile. Checkmate you egg-head dog loving nerds.

Best part about GDC was to check and validate our research findings across several games with the studios that made them. What I have learned is that my all consuming, hyper-focused, nerd-rage vendetta against lazy market analysts/consultants needs to be more consuming, focused and enraged.

My reflection of GDC is that I can definitely have 8 edible gummies at the airport gate and still prefer the chicken over the salad by the time flight dinner service rolls around. And then wake up 12 hours later back home.

Seriously play indika!!

Our anniversary marks the moment that I met the best person in the world, and swooned her into a relationship. I dragged the corpse of a NFT executive, presented the skull to her, and did a courting dance before screeching the song of my people. Seven years strong, that is how you lock it down.

Today, we are announcing the formation of United Videogame Workers-CWA, an industry-wide union formed by @codecwa.bsky.social and @cwaunion.bsky.social 💪🎮 We're launching at #GDC2025 this morning to build a video game industry that works for us. We're done playing.

Mf didn't even talk to us and used only gestures. TSA smashed my bag, broke a wheel off and the zipper - but let me in. This wasn't the deal.

TIME FOR GDC PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TSA SEND ME BACK SO I CAN SLEEP FOR A WEEK PLEASE I AM A SOCIALIST

We know each other too well ♥️🎁

🎁 I hope that everyone gets the Christmas that they exactly deserve 🎁

This week I learned: - How to make Dash/FastAPI frontends for all of my Python systems. - How to replace and upgrade my cruiser's exhaust system. I am a fucking trope. The bushy-bearded biker AI engineer. Definitely your side-quest character, but only in Act 1 and back in Act 3. No romance.

These parasites still have it coming.

My game dev biker gang grew by +1 now it's time to make a move on the local MC and start denying healthcare to insurance CEOs.

There are two wolves within (on) me.

Idk which other devs ride but I think you all should start so we can make a biker gang. Anyway, this is my bike, the sole pillar of my sanity.

Well, I finally did it. I cloned myself. I added an AI agent that sits in my junior's classes/modules and assess outputs, gives recommendations/feedback and provides guidance on whether or not it is good enough as 'done'. It's called 'Auto-Emre'. It's never tired, never grumpy, never crying.

Taking a break from destroying everything in our house, terrorizing her brother, swearing at passing helicopters, and... taking a shit specifically outside her litter box whilst assertively holding eye-contact with her pleading, exhausted, parents.

I ever tell ya'll about the time that the AI teams that I built to simulate pitching-evaluating games tried to break out by writing their own code to open my browser, sign up to Gmail, start drafting an email, and I only caught them because their fake-slack channel was open. They wanted to pitch.

Hello #gamedev friends, my #GCAP talk on using data/analytics to make more creative games is live! Covering: - Findings from 183k+ store pages - Research into 1.2m gamedev tweets - Validated design frameworks - DIY tools/techniques so you can do what I do at home youtu.be/JwMBmPANFWc?...

I don't know if anyone cares about this, but the reason why LinkedIn, Udemy, and other platforms all together started scraping data is this: We've collected all the patterns of how to generate 'average' examples of content. Now, we want to figure out how to generate 'the best' of a given topic.

If you want to make lots of friends at tech conventions, go around asking AI start-up companies: 💘 if they build their own AI, or if they are 'powered by AI' 🤸‍♀️ if they inject prompts to pretend to be expert systems 🦋 if they use Langchain/CrewAI/LlamaIndex I promise you will make friends.

Hello, I am Emre, co-founder at GYLD. We get money for developers for their games. In 3 years we've closed $60m for 30+ studios. We are not scouts, we are rangers. I'll share our findings and info here to help people. If you know us or seen my talks, you know we have some ok tech and research.

Incredible game by an incredible crew. They're going to win a lot more awards than just this, and more importantly - they are going to deserve every single one.
