... Oh, this is why Frankie had been grinding away at an update this past month. I cannot imagine how much stuff he's going to be sneaking in with this update.

It's a rough time to be an indie dev, so we got to thinking what we could do about it... Announcing MATES' RATES 🍻 We're offering 12 month-long co-dev engagements where we work on whatever you need to succeed! Very permissive terms. Flat rate of US$5,000ea (+ taxes). 🎟️ yarnspinner.dev/mates-rates

this is apparently a controversial take but: smaller co-dev oriented studios are the only viable path forward for AA-tier games and many below. this does not and should not mean "1 studio that gets credit and a dozen sweatshops". but studios w/ production specializations collaborating game-by-game

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

I'm putting extraordinary effort into my video about The Excavation of Hob's Barrow, I've been wanting to make this for years, and I'm not sure I'll ever do anything quite like it again because it's not just a video about The Excavation of Hob's Barrow, but an exploration of Folk Horror as a genre.

Aside from a small list of minor edits, I finished my horror novel today. Its later than I hoped and years after when I thought I would be done, but it seems like I'm at the very least going to be done with the ebook version in time for spooky season. I'll be sharing more as I get closer to release.

Oh. Oh wow. Yeah, so, Spectral Tower is widely considered one of the worst dungeon crawls ever made. Some people are just using their translation powers for evil.

if you are a game developer and your game is in a genre that contains "runs" you should really consider adding some deranged bad endings

Have I played “Control Resonant”? Sorry…I’m too busy reading the story of a man who “Controls Rocinante”…that’s right, Miguel Cervantes’ immortal tale “Don Quixote de La Mancha”. So you enjoy your strange “Federal Bureau”…I’ll be delighting in the adventures of Sancho Panza and his “Friendly Burro”
