I have questions about this feature for non-threatening reasons. Is there anyone I can talk to about this?

Holy shit. I think Wolfenstein: The New Order is one of the best campaign shooters of the 8th generation?? It's a crime that this series isn't considered era-defining.

why does every website UI come with a white woman now

i swore i wouldn't talk about this

show me what you're making

yeah PSA, someone sniped my domain name earlier this year. at least it doesn't direct to malware yet but you'll have to go directly until I grab a new one sorry about that! samperson.itch.io/desktop-cat-...

Well, I guess everyone fucking hates my awesome big MS Paint rat button that permanently blocks everything at the bottom-middle of your screen. Now you can hide it with the system tray. You absolute fucking squares. 🖥️🐾 samperson.itch.io/desktop-cat-...

The big news of the day is—Strange Scaffold got a front page spot on Steam! It’s our first-ever publisher sale!! You can get EVERY GAME we’ve ever made for 60 bucks and I did a bunch of work on the gradients and colors to make it all look pretty!!! Ahhh!!!! store.steampowered.com/sale/strange...

HEY Are you good at programming things that Feel Nice, and also experienced in languages that don't garbage collect? Say hi to me, I'm fishin' for a possible project 🎣 (and feel free to refer someone else)

When a game of this scale takes this long to make and currently has nothing to show for it? Something got fucked up. But, if the claim is that they’re constantly giving it money and time because of a mythical hyper-evolved super consumer, the chain of decisions here never get interrogated.

it happened again welcome to the folk hero canon, clippy

stop looking into this immediately

we missed this because we are stupid but you should watch it because it's cool and awesome thank yuo @highlandkall.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5Yr...

Important question for artists: what software do you use most regularly?

Did you know you can hire me for game development? samchiet.com

credit cards shouldn't tell you what to buy. you're supposed to tell the credit card what to buy. thats the point i think

i worked with our director RJ to put together a web page compiling phone numbers, emails, and petitions where you can make your voice heard - protect queer artists and sex workers and tell payment processing companies to end their awful policies harming safe spaces for creative art

we have so many reasons to be angry and ultimately we are fucked if we keep directing that at the easiest and closest targets rather than the most powerful and impactful ones

When I say they're not just hoping for a societal collapse, they're gambling on it - I mean that this "warning" is a fucking advertisement for his other venture.

adding this to all my projects that way, everyone will know

I think one underdiscussed reason that people are gravitating towards these games is because they ask so little of your life *going forward*, too. Most of them don’t have XP, or battle passes. For almost any larger multiplayer effort that’s coming out these days, who could claim the same?

actually, i'd rather players were just able to afford my video game

Ice-Dawg and Bigfoot (short by me and @derrek.org)

I have decided to fire 10,000 people making things people actually like in order to inflate the budget of "the spreadsheet editor that sometimes verbally threatens you"

I thought I would forever miss this post when I left twitter. Glad to see it has safely migrated over.

jesus christ

I am sure that laying off the most skilled people, with otherwise unobtainable insight from decades of experience in game production, will somehow make games cost less to develop and by extension purchase.

"Why we're opening betting sponsorships on Esports" so much money "How we're doing it responsibly" not doing that

This is incredibly rad

This is some of the most fun I’ve had on a podcast talking about game trailers 😄

We just had a wonderful and extremely long-ass conversation about game trailer editing with @derek-lieu.com (who worked on Psychonauts 2, Subnautica, Half Life: Alyx, etc etc etc)! It's one of my favorite episodes we've done so far. You should listen to it!! youtu.be/FfxxrdaSq9A

Yesterday, I learned that you can actually say "THIS game was made by just ONE GUY, also a bunch of other people worked on it" and people will genuinely still run with the great man narrative and treat it as a good dunk against corporations

I think people should scroll down in the comments of the ChatGPT subreddit. So fucking many people believe they're in a personal relationship with it, and have grown extremely delusional to the point of cutting other humans out of their lives because they "don't understand me" the way ChatGPT does.

when you have the game-generating-button, the game-generator becomes the thing to play with - not its output what differentiates between one output and the next? it's "grok, generate me an image of ___" vs. procreate/CSP people categorize it differently than A Tool To Make A Game

he's been stuck here for seven hours and counting

Wow, just watched the State of Unreal 2025. Really impressive. This is the future

some universal true bombs in this article

I would get annoyed with publishers asking for a vertical slice. Then they basically became finishing funds. At a recent talk I went to they were saying how proud they were to sign already released games. 'Publeechers' are plenty around.

I've always said that UNBEATABLE has the best trailers in games, but this one changes everything. Goddamn.

what do you think the orange Source engine developer texture tastes like

Hey game developers! What's a personal, behind-the-scenes achievement of yours that players would never know about?

I think for whatever reason a lot of ppl assume creator works will just naturally find those who’d enjoy it but I’m here to tell you from personal experience that we are absolutely living in the Before Times™️ and that will only happen if you share your faves’ work fervently and with reckless abandon
