Actions speak louder than words, personally I was in talks with Epic to get all my game assets on their Fab.com marketplace (for free) but cancelled the deal immediately. If they want slop, let them have slop.

Between Tim Sweeney being an absolute AI chud and the harassment of our beloved @kenney.nl, we've decided to cancel our previously announced Epic Games Store release for Shape Sender Deluxe 🚮

ok non-tech ppl might be hearing some scary things about "critical vulnerabilities" involving certificates. the main thing you need to know, without getting down in the weeds about it, is that the fourth seal is broken. lo, a rider approacheth upon a pale steed, and his name is Death

One of the more insidious phrasings I've seen with the Dems/trans rights discourse lately is the idea that trans people are being greedy and demanding a "maximalist" approach to trans rights. No, you cannot call the state of rights American trans people had as recently as 2023 "maximalist," sorry.

sorry, but torturing the omelas kid is just a smart move, polling-wise. i personally wish there wasn't a kid in the omelas hole--of course i do!--but let's not get distracted by purity tests, here.

Niu Lai (lit. Cow Come) was released without a press kit. Movie theaters in China have begun making their own posters. Surprisingly, not an AI in sight, just ppl living in the mement.

I keep seeing arguments for games being expensive due to hyper realistic expectations for art, or simply lots of art. What I don’t see is the actual most costly reason: Indecision Iteration is good, but the yearly rebuilding of entire characters, storylines, and levels, is the most expensive thing

Many factors at play here - not the least of which is higher-ups (in their infinite wisdom) not being able to commit to anything, or knowing good from bad All the while the economy at large expects the profit line go infinitely up, absolutely ignoring its undeniable tendency to do the opposite

Y'all, listen. Muramasa rules, and you should buy it so Vanillaware can port everything else they made to the PC. Dragon's Crown, 13 Sentinels, Unicorn Overlord, the world needs to have these games not console-locked!!!

As a defense attorney, I don’t think the media is doing a good enough job of expressing how egregiously out of line this series of events is for prosecutors. These guys play fast and loose with the law a whole fucking lot, but this is well above and beyond that. They literally broke every rule.

I don't know if people realize how valuable retweeting indie developers is. It can accumulate to make the difference between going back to a 9-5 job or not. Just want to say a huge thank you to all 20K gamers who wishlisted Maseylia. We appreciate you and can't wait for you to try it on the 19th!

Game development is so funny because we have these grand visions of what we want to do but then get stuck spending hours on trivial things like making ESC close the correct UI element.

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

I think the tonal thing I miss in Star Trek is the arrogance of its optimism. It wasn’t ostensively trying to convince you of its progressive values, it was flat out telling you that one day you and your petty bigotries would be dead and gone and laughed at. I’d like some of that energy in the 2030s

If you use @thatkennguy.bsky.social's numbers, this is about the amount of people in the game industry. A year of us all pursuing passion projects. Looking at it another way, it's 17 years of $100k salaries for each game developer laid off since 2022.

Just thinking about how the $80 billion wasted by Sucky Zuck with Metaverse alone could have paid 800,000 years of $100k salaries. That's the cutoff for happiness from wealth, and it would still have made back money selling the actual products.
