I just want to be 100% clear that I'm aware of at least one instance this year where the publisher submitted the game _without even telling the developer they had done so_
if your publisher has done this — and yeah, this happened — what use is your publisher?
personally speaking, most of the time I have reticence at putting just a demo forward for awards. it’s wild that people are out there kneecapping their dev’s chances for visibility.

blog post boiling within me titled "indie publishers, you need to get your shit together" based on this year of indie pubs submitting games to IGF w/ a demo and then when asked for a dev build so anyone can actually judge it, either ghost or go "we will provide you with a build on the release date"

Feel basically the same.Great fun learning Lumines for the first time and the stages that hit *really* hit. But almost half the songs feel like the interstitial music they play on Love Island or something. Heartbreakingly lame tracks.
So I guess the embargo is up on Lumines Arise. It's pretty neat—as someone who isn't used to Lumines' ruleset, it's unbelievably challenging.
A personal hurdle, however, was that moreso than Tetris Effect, I thought that so much of the soundtrack was absolute horseshit lol

Friendly tip for folks. My discord got hacked yesterday and my computer was acting funky ever since. Turns out it was malware installed through a blender file I bought as part of an asset pack on CG Trader. I didn’t know blender files were being used this way, but I figured I’d spread the word.

This is a very promising bundle site, especially if they keep going the small creators/curators way to find games. Opening with imsims including Peripetia or Ctrl Alt Ego is definitely a very cool choice, even if sadly not the most appealing.

GTA O a commencé à tomber dans le power creep le moment où le premier heist à rendu dispo une voiture blindée. La seule manière de se défendre était de réussir à l'exploser, ce qui te coutait de l'argent ingame.

J'adore regarder des essais sur comment Rockstar a "tué" GTA Online en vendant (100$) une moto volante intuable avec missiles guidés et au lieu de la supprimer ils ont proposé des voitures blindées avec missiles anti-aériens (50$) ou impossibles à lock (80$) www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjAk...
