Best car movie ever is on sale www.criterion.com/films/34370-... honorable mentions: fury road, sirat

criterion.comSorcererA hallucinatory journey into the heart of darkness, William Friedkin’s pulse-pounding reimagining of the suspense classic The Wages of Fear was dismissed upon its release, only to be recognized decades later as one of the New Hollywood’s boldest auteur statements. In a remote Latin American village, four desperate fugitives—a New Jersey gangster (Roy Scheider), a Mexican assassin (Francisco Rabal), an unscrupulous Parisian businessman (Bruno Cremer), and an Arab terrorist (Amidou)—take on a doomed mission: transporting two trucks full of highly explosive nitroglycerin through the treacherous jungle. Aided by Tangerine Dream’s otherworldly synth score, Friedkin turns each bump in the road into a tour de force of cold-sweat tension—conjuring a hauntingly nihilistic vision of a world ruled by chance and fate.

Hey there friends! Unfortunately, I was among those impacted by layoffs at Heart Machine last week. If you or someone you know is looking for an experienced Unreal Engine Technical Artist, I'm available for full time, part time, or contract opportunities.

I read a blog post that helped me with some programming problem and wanted to thank the person who wrote it. Their email wasn't listed and I couldn't find any social media except LinkedIn. Tried to message there, but they were private and I had to request to add them. Aaand they blocked me.

Managed to make it 13 years into my career, ship 2 games, write 100s of shaders that ship in dozens of games before understanding what tangent space means.

casual note that IGF submissions close in a week and a half so if you were thinking of getting a game in this year, time's running short! (It's fine if your build isn't bug-free right now, you can patch it over the course of the competition - esp if you submit via a steam key)

Aura/Moom@moomanibe.bsky.social

heyyyyy IGF submissions for this year are open! If you're making a cool indie game I would love it if you would submit it! If you're thinking about it but not sure, I outline some reasons why you might (or might not) in detail here auratriolo.com/blog/2024/09...

Valve should lower their rev share portion to 15% for the first $1m a game earns. Not because it would would help small teams survive to make more games (it would), but because they would earn more money in the long term.

Scott Anderson@impossible.bsky.social

I did some very rough calculations using the latest @gamediscoverco.bsky.social data set. Valve's lifetime revenue, since Steam launch, is roughly $100B. If Valve made $0 from every game that made $100K or less they would "lose" $0.5B, the cost of 1 mega yacht. At $1M that number is about $2B

🕯️MY GAME COMES OUT TOMORROW!! 🕯️ If you want to help me, the best way is to buy the game and review it on Steam as close to 5AM Pacific or 8AM Eastern as possible. The algo lords do a special thing at 10 reviews, as many of you know : ) store.steampowered.com/app/2105840/...

It can be a bit painful, but I mostly like this era where making something objectively ~good~ from a craftsmanship perspective isn't what moves copies of games.
