www.youtube.com/shorts/PHVCE... This resonates. Love Hook.

If there's one thing that still disgusts me to this day, is people who push the CD tray back in, instead of pressing the button. Monsters.

Game concept. Blyatro. A Russian-themed Balatro clone that doubles down on a cheeki-breeki boi theming. Gopnik humour and dank memes. Playing for cigarettes, bonus points for a good squat, 'corruption' cards where you can break/bypass core rules and systems. F2P ofc!

So, first day of freedom! Still job hunting like a mofo, but taking the time to work on myself and my own projects. Mad gains all around hopefully!

So the 'ole redundancy gave me a bit of time to get a portfolio website together. I'm no web developer, but it was nice to get a bit of career info down on a page. Along with some screenshots of the various things I've worked on. Felt nice! thedanbrewer.com

Just realised the worst thing about redundancy, is I'm going to get my own putdowns (formerly used against one of my mates, who was a mature student) used against me by him: "Get a job". Karma is a bitch.

My posting on here is sporadic, but Bossa is restructuring and unfortunately my role is at risk. So I'm looking for new oppertunities! I'm based in Guildford so I'm really looking at local jobs or anything that supports fully remote. Lead Designer or Game Director based on proj size! :)

Guildford game dev summit was really good! I sat in the funding track all day and it felt like I was learning top tier information from legitimate and local sources. Highly recommend!

Could we employ Ai to scout the internet for screenshots taken containing little indicators that you can swipe to another image. The Ai should then photoshop out the indicators and replace the image. This is to stop me, as a dumb human. Trying to swipe static screenshots.

I really enjoyed this trailer. The player feedback bubbles make it feel super legitmate too! youtu.be/ZvQT4k4mWo0

What flavour are the new mystery flavour Super Mario Pringles? After trying them, (with kids), we were surprised that they were so spicy! But we reckon they're "Spicy meatball" flavour. Which I think is on brand with commercialised Italians!

#DontGetGot already getting some awesome previews. Love this article from Vice: www.vice.com/en/article/d...

Check out Bossa's new treat! Wishlists appreciated - it's out later today and we'd appreciate any buzz about it! store.steampowered.com/app/3467390/... Follow @dontgetgotgame.bsky.social for more info.

In unrelated matters, do you think I could expense new underwear?

youtu.be/fNeU9_A6aJs I like this. You'll like it too.

When playing Unreal tournament at Uni, we were playing off of my copy and pasted installation. My username was Big Dan as there were two Dan's. So then everyone was Big Dan, so I renamed to the OriginalBigDan. Quite dull really!

Set up a Microsoft account and login for my 5 year old, on a Windows laptop today. Christ there's so much more bullshit from kids to have to learn/bypass today. From cookie popups, to sticky keys, to touchpad gestures. Eurgh! I'm sure I can turn it all off, but eurgh. Good luck kid!

hello! we’re Future Friends Games and we help cool developers by publishing and promoting cool indie games!!! if you are reading this, pls like and share this pinned post to make us look cool! here are some games we’ve worked on

2025 has involved puking toddler at 3-4 in the morning, but then a lie-in until 12:30. Ups and downs!

This will never get old 🤣

I'm not often a political poster, but this is a cracking response to the Russian government's whining. www.gov.uk/government/s... I hope they do sort it out soon so the actual normal people of Russia can get back to owning me on DOTA.

I don't know who is writing the latest content for DOTA2. Like the Frostivus tales or the Crownfall dialogue. But you are killing it! Absolutely hilarious.

One of the Welsh words for Microwave is "Popty ping". Merry Christmas!

Did I steal this from Facebook? Am I ashamed? Yes and no.

Prison break S4 E2. Teddy wanders pit of a desert and runs into two guys. He looks like he's going to be sick. Random guy, "What's wrong man? You eat some bad Mexican? Teddy swallows it back. "Something like that...". Previous scene. Teddy ate a Mexican guy to survive. More cheese than cheddar <3

Micro horror game concept. You're being followed. Your phone notifies you that an airtag is following your location. You can tap on your phone to play a SFX from the airtag. ...you hear a chime from behind you. Time to run.

Ok new Unreal Tournament when? www.amazon.co.uk/gp/video/det...

I'm live on Twitch, it's Indiana Jones time! Come hang out! www.twitch.tv/OriginalBigD...

My almost 2 year old can't say "googly" so googly eyes become "boobie eyes". I love it.

Why does 'finding the fun' fail so often as a design strategy? #gamedesign New designers are told to prototype and 'find the fun'. But the naive version of this is a garbage tactic that mostly results in poorly thought out prototypes that are never going to converge on gameplay.

2024 currently has more known games industry layoffs than 2023+2022 combined. 2024 is roughly 600 layoffs away from doubling 2023. There is still plenty of business days left in the month. I can't emphasize enough how extreme these last few years have been. So far.

Doing my weekly stream again! Tonight it's Half Life 2! www.twitch.tv/originalbigdan

There's a lot of doom and gloom floating around, but wow if I haven't had some exciting conversations at Bossa! The kind where you can't sit down afterwards because it's too exciting. There's still people out there who want to make great games and to see them published. Best of luck to you all!

Working soundtrack for today. This. On loop. Neverending. So much joy. Maybe too much... youtu.be/sga59nRbf_M

The saddest thing about the Wallace-gate debacle, is potentially having to retire this work of art...

My teammates have used the joke version of Radical Candor, "Radical Condor". That I can no longer use the correct version.
