I'd like to never have to see Assmongold's face again, please.

I think people really don't appreciate how remarkable it is that the games industry releases hundreds of video games every year when you consider that not one person on earth knows how to make a video game

Miz and Moonie from @teafortwostudios.bsky.social were great to work with! Don't miss out on the studio's other games <3

This weekend I participated as a Writer and Narrative Designer in the IGDA Game Writing SIG's Arcjam. The theme was RESILIENCE ⚠️ I'm proud of what my teams accomplished given the scope, and I learned a lot from the process. And best of all: I made new friends and had fun! 🕹️ Thank you for playing 💙

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

Thanksgiving, but instead of turkey, game developers get free chat/troubleshooting on their narrative/writing plans, and I get to recommend talented folks for the future. Send through a DM or visit www.gregbuchanangames.com/contact -- happy to advise and chat as best I can throughout the week!

being an English major AND terminally online means i really need context clues when i come across the word "anon"

there's a clip of @benstarr.bsky.social on a podcast talking about doing VO for games & having to do broadly applicable character noises like "eeugghhhghh" and i need help finding that please XD it might have been with @charalanahzard.bsky.social idr

i spent a LOT of time playing this game when i was about seven years old.

It would be cool if we got rid of cars for the most part, planet-wide

someone has said and I agree that Kojima is an excellent illustration of the difference between narrative design and writing

Apparently getting cracked is now terminology for having sex…it took me awhile to realize all these folks were not talking about coming out as trans

Overstimulated is an understatement

You can play the demo for my next game now! Come meet your charming neighbours! 🌱💀🐝

Excited to discover this studio and their new game (featuring writing by @yourkyotowife.bsky.social!) <3

This is what queer joy looks like 🥹 I'm so fucking proud 💙

Jennifer English realizing she's a lesbian and falling in love with one of her mocap directors (Aliona Baranova) over the course of making BG3 and seeing all the queer folks embracing Shadowheart and the impact the game had is genuinely one of the best stories in game production in a long time

::a low whisper:: "perception."

America's first ever esports champion was Rebecca Heineman, a trans woman. She went on to found some of your favorite video game studios and worked on your favorite video games. Next time you see somebody rail about 'woke' and 'DEI' Remember that. Remember her.

My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away. Fuck cancer. Friends, let’s not forget her: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca...

I took this the other day—our first snow (and icicles) of the season.

with Marjorie Taylor Greene being kind of a whack job and magic the gathering rolling every IP it can into the game, it’s taking longer and longer to decipher which one posts about “MTG” are actually referencing lately

anybody else ever have this growing up?

Please read this in the gentlest possible voice but we HAVE to divest from mil-sims as gamedevs. Even before this AI bullshit in the latest Black Ops, these games have done so much harm and contributed massively to the dehumanization of several populations worldwide. It’s US foreign pol propaganda.

Hey so, today is my last day at Crystal Dynamics apparently. I joined the company in 2018 to work on Marvel's Avengers and it's been the longest (and best) job I've ever had. It now means I'm looking for work, so if you know of any senior writer/narrative designer positions please send them my way.

Glad to see Polygon cover the resistance of game developers to generative AI--and to be able to speak briefly to one of the greatest dangers of this entire thing. Gen AI doubles down on making MORE SPACE for production issues that *already make games worse.* www.polygon.com/arc-raiders-...

Most people: "Woah!" Writers: "Whoa!" PC Gamer:

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.

This is what I look for in a man.

Damn, I was like, "oh shit! I wanna work for T4T International" !!!

Hey all you gamers claiming to "want shorter games made by fewer people who are paid more to work less" here's your chance to put your $15 where your mouth is: a spooky & elegiac exploration game made by ex-Bethesda & Ubi devs. It's excellent. Buy it & prove there's a market for games like this!

I finally solved the problem of my fear of the blanc page! I now use google docs in Dark Mode.

Let's make it official: SHELVED BY GENRE's next unit, spanning ALL of 2026, will be a delve into the depths of modern genre with J.R.R. Tolkien's THE HOBBIT, THE LORD OF THE RINGS, and THE SILMARILLION. If you don't have those, you can grab them through our Bookshop: bookshop.org/lists/shelve...

Ambrosia Sky: Act One is available now!! 15% off on both Steam & Epic!! store.steampowered.com/app/3580160/... store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/ambr...

i guess you can't spell arc raiders without AI 😔 this sucks and if you're a dev you should be speaking out about it!

#Commissions anyone? Just making sure I can stay housed and fed... (Alternatively you can buy my games and albums or donate, links in bio) #PixelArt #AnimeArt #Chiptunes

Gender is a performance and I'm an understudy

Has anyone used Unreal on Linux who might have a minute to help @resteiner.com figure out why his checkin in now breaking our build? #indiegames

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

I am disabled and have never played either my switch or my steam deck as a handheld. They've both always been docked to my TV and i play on wireless controllers. Very comfortable. Sometimes I have to rebuy computer games when they release for console because they're not great on steam deck.
