Why do we keep on doing this? Praising a 'small core team' for a game with 1100+ people in the credits is incredibly misleading. This PR narrative hurts, hides the massive shadow workforce of outsourced developers and testers, and sets impossible standards for actual indie teams.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer was made by a core team of 75 people. "What we wanted to do was keep that core small, smaller than perhaps you might have done in the past, and scale capacity and capability with what we call distributed development." https://bit.ly/4hT02qg
Penguin Colony is out today, and I'm proud to have played a small part in its release. It's 100% the kind of game I want to see in the world. It's sort of like Tony Hawk's Pro Penguin and is a chill time with exactly nothing bad or political going on. store.steampowered.com/app/3695930/...

This year's LudoNarraCon is live! It took a massive amount of work, but I'm super happy with how it turned out. Go look at a panel, buy a game, or play a demo why don't you? store.steampowered.com/sale/ludonar...

That anyone would *willingly* give up one of the experts in hardware in 2026 is a masterclass in buffoonery. Any website worth anything would do well to pick Bo up and let him make sense of this insane market for their viewers and readers.
My team had a huge content day today on IGN, covering the launch of Valve's Steam Frame. So this seems like a good time as any to say that I was affected by today's layoffs.
