That means I’ve had my desktop wallpaper as Firewatch for coming on 10 years now! Still possibly my favorite aesthetic and use of color in any game ever. And I listen to Ol’ Shoshone all the time! And its PS4 release is the only LRG game I’ve ever gotten! One of the best to ever do it!!!

In 1 month, I’ll be headed to GDC for the very first time. Currently I’m working through some intense imposter syndrome, since all my games work is solo and self taught, I feel very much like an outsider to the industry. GDC for me will be a big step towards being a part of the community I love!

Oh I thought the fireworks in Bellevue was because Concord was coming back but I guess something else happened

Can’t believe they got el Muerto

Love, love, love this review. This is the kind of unique remake analysis I’d love to see more of! The thrust isn’t “how is it different (usually derogatory)?” It’s “what do those differences create as a part of a new artistic whole?”

Me and Jesse lately

What a gentleman

Shout out to video games, man. There’s so much out there to learn about! Congrats to Guerrilla, Dovetail, Falcom and Xeen/Square Enix for the announcements of your new games!

It seems like no one else in the games industry is brave enough to say it… but I will. Thomas & Friends: Wonders of Sodor from Dovetail games is a funny idea and I’m glad they’re doing it.

This is the most ball I've ever known and ever will know. I scare myself sometimes. www.youtube.com/shorts/Y4r-q...

I always get so disappointed when I find out about a game and discover there were NO interviews about it. I’ve contacted many teams for interviews and they just never end up doing any, which leaves a huge hole in the preservation of the stories behind games.

Hi there. Dev Dive has been slow the last 2 months, and there’s a very good reason. My game dev interview series, which has ballooned in 18 months to nearly 70 interviews, is getting a complete refresh with new art, a new structure and a brand new channel. Plus, I already have 7 interviews ready.

This is insanely true. Remakes, and the changes they make, are intended for a DIFFERENT target audience than the original game. It’s a different design intent! So it’s important to also feature reviews from people whose tastes more closely align with the goals of the project!

5 hours into Highguard, this game is fucking electric. It’s paced so well, feels totally unique structurally and the gunplay is super tight. I legitimately see games making a raid mode inspired by this in the future, it’s like a condensed CS x Fortnite! NOTE: I have only played the 5v5 game mode

You saw the Markiplier movie. Now it’s time to learn the truth behind what inspired it, the smash hit game from @duskdev.bsky.social. Here’s that story, straight from the horse’s mouth. What went into making the game #IronLung. youtu.be/-i6izWTD60w?...

What if The Oscars Were the AVENGERS? #oscars #oscars2026

About to record an interview for Blippo+, and I figured I would wear my drippiest, blippiest fit. Boing boing, if you catch my drift. @panic.com @blippo.plus @kmikeym.com @telefantasytv.bsky.social @popagenda.co @marklacroix.bsky.social

I may not have much reach- but for those who might find it interesting, Rebellion (Sniper Elite, Zombie Army, Atomfall) released a brand new game today! It's an action sports game called Speedball, which is actually a reboot of the Speedball series from 1988, developed by The Bitmap Brothers.

Wildlight studio CEO Dusty Welch was brand manager for Dole in the 90s, Highguard makes so much sense now. This game is bananas!

Embracer Group closed a studio last month, and we didn't notice! The team Green Tile Digital, responsible for LocoMotive which released last April, closed last year. Checking the LinkedIn of many of the team members, they left the studio in the last few months of 2025.

For the last year, I’ve been very intrigued by the varied and busy catalog of Saber Interactive- but I’d never played almost any of their games! Over the last few days I’ve played all 4 of these games, which has been super fascinating. Anyone have any experience with these?

I reached out to the designer of the Les Manley game series, and he told me no one had asked him about the games for almost 40 years. Here is that decades in the making retrospective interview. #gamedev #videogamehistory youtu.be/9hCE0gatnWA

I’ve seen 6 of the best picture noms so far. Here is my ranking

Forza and Fable just shot up my most anticipated games list. Both in series I’m not traditionally experienced with, but they totally blew me away in the dev direct. Playground games is about to totally dominate this year

in light of Life is Strange discourse I want to remind you all that canon is fake and no new game can change the ending of the first game, lol

I have so many interviews recorded and scheduled already… even if I just do the ones already in progress and I upload 1 a week, I’ll have interviews up through April. Maybe I should slow down a bit, oops

Deck Nine is awesome and I cant wait for Life is Strange Reunion youtu.be/aMHRkmqd7PA

Crazy marketing budget from Focus Interactive ngl

SANDFALL MADE EXPEDITION 33 IN A CAVE! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!

3/20 ain’t bad

New armrest what do we think

Does anyone need a cheap (comparatively) GDC pass? I bought one during the early bird pricing, and I no longer need it- if you want to save $600 on a pass let me know!

Saw Bone Temple again tonight. Great flick, totally unique. The characters steal the show, I especially love Samson and Iain.

I interviewed the full co-op team of Dragon Fractal on Dev Dive, and we broke down the full story behind their first game Draggin'! Draggin' is a game that plays into the desire we all have of dragging our mouse cursor around on the desktop- go watch this interview! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zt_A...

The oracle has spoken. Highguard previews will drop at 9AM CST on Jan 19. “I got flown out to California to be one of the first in the world to check out Highguard, a kinetic new shooter from Wildlight Entertainment that bring a fresh twist to a crowded genre!”

The oracle is receiving a vision. The oracle says that this game will go quadruple platinum

To me, it’s just normal lemon squeezy. This is just a glimpse into how easy peasy my mind is becoming.

Playing Blippo+ today. Straight up tears in my eyes from laughing, there’s nothing out there quite like Blippo

Went climbing for the first time ever yesterday. @soundstrider.dev @gluethulhu.bsky.social @paxibus.bsky.social What did you guys do to me I’m so exhausted

Happy “I edit the Big Hops doc all day” day to all who celebrate. I have a helper which is nice

Let me know if you're planning to head to GDC! I also need roommates!

It’s BIG HOPS LAUNCH DAY— and I documented the launch moment with @luckshotgames.com for posterity! He and I have been working for months on a documentary that tells the full story of the game’s journey to release, coming soon!
