I’m gonna be straight up with you: please buy my game so I can have the funds to move out of this country before it kills me. That’s why I’m pushing so hard! Trying to move my entire trans household out of here and it’s very expensive. If you have the game, please leave us an honest (5words) review?
Hot Queer Brown, Black, Arab, East Asian, etc, baddies in YOUR COMPUTER?
And the key to their hearts is match-3 mechanics with a twist?
AND the game is 20% off RIGHT NOW?
AND it's buy once with no microtransactions or play limits? AND upcoming FREE UPDATE?

I'm sorry for all the folks affected by layoffs recently. It's not much easier in the indie space and most of us are just getting by. If you are thinking about starting up a studio or going indie, I'm happy to share what I've learned running a small studio for the last 8 years with a remote team.

IT IS PART OF THE FUCKING JOB! AND IF PUBLISHERS ARE JUST FINISHING FUND COMPANIES THEN THEY AREN'T PUBLISHERS THEY'RE JUST LOAN SHARKS!

(And I am fully qualified and certified to say this.)
Attended a few talks recently, and the advice on funding / publisher support seems backwards to the consensus of even a few years ago.

If publishers expect devs to take on all the risk before making a commitment, then what is the offer? What risk do they shoulder?

Risk is part of the job, no?

Man…let’s remember when the studios were asking black creatives to be more involved and wanted to reach out back in 2020 after the Floyd case and had all the promises in the world of “we want more black voices” but to only ghost people from communications to ghosting on test opportunities.
No better day than today to discuss this, how our industry's treated black folks over the last decade is fucking shameful. Co-opted the image of their social movements, rug-pulled them with false promises of stability, exploited their vulnerabilities, then abandoned them. We gotta do better.
