The State of #FishHeaven 2026, my arcade fishing game with Religious Overtones for the @play.date handheld. I took copious GIFs from day one of development. Enjoy the struggle glitches all the way to the current level of polish. Still in development, just needed to take a long break! #gamedev

Game concept: A kaiju approaches your prairie farm. It will arrive in one real-world month. Can your community scale your defense to stop it?

I think ultimately I’m going to wait until the second gen iPhone Duo. I briefly worked on the Surface Duo at MS and that format is so magical. But Apple only gave like, 50 developers access to support it properly at launch so it’s hard to tell how well it’ll be supported.

New employer is pushing AI on me despite promising that they'd respect my not wanting to use it, and they just switched insurance providers on us to some real rancid bullshit. Anyone hiring for senior frontend developers? 😭

One time there was a shortage so you know I had to go get them but by the time I got there they were all gone because there was a run on sentences.

I literally don't have words for the news of EA closing Bioware. Unconscionable, incompetent, soulless decision-making. May everyone involved in these decision suffer Renegade interrupts for the rest of their lives.

You could spend $3b making a game for a $1k console that no one can afford, or you could spend $1m making a game for a potato phone that everyone on earth with an Android device from the last 20 years can play. The cycle of "development costs go up to push hardware requirements up" is almost over.

A hardware market freeze could transform the industry forever, says Rob Fahey. If consoles and GPUs are priced out of reach for years, the market won't simply wait for them to come back – it'll re-centre around the devices people already have. https://bit.ly/3UuSZfS

I have a friend named Michael, can we legally start a game studio called Michael Jordan? Maybe if we hyphenate it? 🤣

eBay doesn’t let you leave negative feedback on someone until they’ve paid, so if your feedback was going to be negative because the winning bidder isnt paying, you’re out of luck.
