Let me share some positive news for a change: Despite all the gloomy headlines today, my understanding is that there are multiple paths actively being explored that would save Arkane Lyon. Anything can happen during negotiations, but at this point I'd be surprised if the studio is shut down.

ChainStaff, the Artbook, the Soundtrack are all 25% this week, for the release of my DLC. 🎸🎨

So.. MS just went through and gutted a bunch of their own studios to cut costs etc. But now they're going to pick up the latest very expensive Kojima experience? Good for KojiPro and Physint sure but couldn't like, MS's own studios have used a little of that investment or something

When a new game comes out and people say "it's like a PS2 game!" it's gonna take a little more digging on my part to find out if that means it will appeal to me less, or more

Ocarina of Time Link and Saria

Cadence of Hyrule mentioned well, shown in the picture of the zelda series at least

Last day on the job. Happy to say I did indeed do this, for nearly seven years, and got to be part of a lot of cool stuff.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword Nintendo Switch 2 Review - Capcom Continues Its Truly Unbelievable Run of Quality Releases This Year https://www.nintendo-insider.com/onimusha-way-of-the-sword-switch-2-review/

When you buy stuff on eBay, and the seller lists the item condition as "Like New," but it's actually shown to be in kind of mediocre condition.. does that bother you? Is that common on ebay? List something as Like New for the condition tag but it's actually a scuffed or scratched up thing?

Ah they switched their "everything is an Xbox" campaign to "everything is preservation."

been spot checking my physical game collection to see if anything doesn't work any more. Good news is vast majority work just fine. Bad news is that Persona Q for 3DS is dead! Apparently I got one from one of the "bad batches" that basically dies within a few years.

Hmmmm it seems my copy of Persona Q for the 3DS was among the "bad batch" of copies that has completely died. Urg.

Did anyone ever have this? I have never seen one before; honestly never heard of it before yesterday. This is a replacement power cord for an OG Xbox. Apparently it avoids a loose connection issue regarding the power supply/cord. Is this an actual thing?

"transforming Game Pass into a bustling indie library could work to both rapidly shrink the costs of running the service, as well as retain more subscribers" IMO the primary reason Game Pass failed to hit its subscriber targets is because the mass market simply does not care to play lots of games.

Finished #Deltarune Chapter 5 and ended up loving them ALL so much I had to draw them. 😭🌸 Enjoy!

Our Kickstarter is officially LIVE!! 🔥⚙️🔥 I'm absolutely floored at the support already! All of you are wonderful. 😁😁 #IndieGame #RPG #PC #PixelArt #GameDev #jrpg #cyberpunk #TurnBasedCombat

I’ll allow myself a mini-crashout, since I’m still a bit high from anaesthesia So every AAA game is Duke Nukem Forever now, right? Like, why can’t a multi-bajillion dollar company make “a” Prince of Persia? You guys used to crank out one of these a year 20 years ago

The Kickstarter debuts! TOMORROW! 🔥⚙️💥🔥 ⚙️🎮ROBOT RHAPSODY #RPG #trailertuesday #jrpg #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart

I’m publishing a sample JRPG project plan. This document contains every step you need to take to create a commercial JRPG, from beginning to end. It's based on my experience working on JRPGs like Quartet, Cris Tales, Threads of Time, Coromon, My Familiar & Forge of the Fae. tinyurl.com/6yxt77fm

PSA on the topic of physical games.. if you have a Gameboy collection, and any games require a AA battery for some neat features like rumble (example: Perfect Dark GBC), you might want to go and check your cart and remove the battery and hope it's not completely inundated with battery acid

Less than a week away from #Kickstarter! 🎉 Feels surreal!🔥 My first game was a 'labor of love' that took over 6 years. This one gained momentum faster, and I believe the artists truly outdid their past work! #indiegame #rpg #pixelart www.kickstarter.com/projects/rapturousstudio/robot-rhapsody

What was the contingency plan here when they put all this money on the line. Was there one? The thing that really gets to me is how they seem to treat this creative talent as entirely expendable. Miss me with the "that's just business!" counterpoint!

It's messed up. A giant company with massive resources, and no real clear idea what it's doing, can buy up a ton of talented studios to gamble them on an uncertain business strategy. And then when the strategy fails, those studios and that talent just gets.. tossed out? That's the play? Jesus.

The cruelest part of this Xbox bloodbath? More than 1,200 job cuts are still looming, and nobody knows when they will happen or who will be impacted. This week's column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Man, killing id Software is akin to Sony shutting down Insomnic or Santa Monica. Nintendo killing off EAD. Disney closing Pixar.

Maybe I should start focusing more on buying DRM-free PC games and storing them on my NAS OH WAIT hdd prices have skyrocketed in price too awesome

When I designed the assets for physical copies of Cosmic Star Heroine for PS4 & Vita, I made the manuals as big as allowable per Sony. They hold the record for the most pages of a packed-in manual for both systems at 76! (it's technically a tie with Summon Night 6 iirc). I love doing this stuff!

And while business-wise discs may matter little to AAA publishers, indies often pour love into their physical releases and however niche the sales there-of may be, it matters a LOT more to smaller devs/publishers!

Been away from the PC for a while, but the news about Sony discontinuing disc production is a disheartening one. There's a lot of good reasons to buy a disc, with the data fully playable on it, and to own it! I love my game collection!
