I think smaller teams make better games. I think happy people make better games. I think every studio should be thinking of the team as their #1 product and strength, and the games are the OUTPUT of that team. People should be trained, given opportunities, given reasons to WANT to be there

releasing many works used to be the norm in large studio dev; square internally developed like forty games in the 90s! that'd be unthinkable now when every new release needs to be a zeitgeist shattering mega-hit, and we're poorer off for it.

LRP: I like building relationships with authors over individual works; I like seeing voices grow over time. The commercial indie ecosystem is swamped with "I worked on one game for six years and I'm so burnt out I'm never gonna make anything else." That's the opposite of what I want as a player.

hello!!! it's mid October. thus, as i do every month, here's 21 awesome under-noticed games from September that you should check out. as always, i haven't played all or even most of these, i just think they deserve more attention and see a lot of games go underdiscussed!

I have some space opening up in my schedule for game development consulting, and/or writing funny words. If your project could do with someone who knows what they're talking about sticking their oar in, or good dialogue drop me a line. I'm good at this sort of thing: dan at size five games dot com

Would you believe our game is built from basically just 1 texture?

every developer seems to think more frequent software updates are good and literally every user I've talked to wants stuff to update less
