Friends, I find myself with EIGHT game versions that needs an update. I would be very thankful if you can give these a quick whirl and let me know if anything seems out of place.

Both Android and iOS.

to every company that is cancelling their huge GAAS "live service" games:

give those assets to a smaller little scrappy group of devs in your company. a team of 5-10 people. let them make a singleplayer thing with the characters and props, locations. it will be interesting. it will probably sell

Not even the developer of this website deemed it possible :3

Reminds me of a discussion I had at A MAZE: if we want the next Balatro, we need to finance an ecosystem for it to grow naturally, not wait for a person to have a million dollars idea THEN finance it

hire zoë now!!
Ugh. So. I was caught in layoffs months ago and things are getting a bit desperate. If anyone is looking to hire a 15-year industry vet with a bunch of awards to do game design, narrative design, content design, or writing (games or other things!), please hit me up.

Wee, I have a feeling the #stopkillinggames EU initiative will crack the 800k signatures today :3

If you're an EU citizen and haven't heard about this, maybe give it a read: eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#...

Give your support !

watching all art styles congeal, hearing like 2-3 styles of music (stop aping John Williams ffs) , and seeing gameplay genres fossilize in-place, its just disheartening

seeing how excited devs were to play in *polygons* 25 years ago, that sense of freedom it gave creators, it feels lost

I feel my brain cells popping watching this Summer Game Fest showcase.. maybe we went back to the monkeys at typewriters stage, only that the typewriters got replaced by Unreal Engine 5 😑

One final attempt to push my latest video a little :D
In this one I talk about the emotional impact of the Maiden Astraea bossfight in Demon's Souls, while also discussing the lore and her motivations a little :)
Give it a watch, it's a good one! 🌈

every day the CSS spec moves closer to supporting the Persona 5 menu while web design ethos moves further away from it

Here we go, something I've been drafting for a long, long time: how the US-centric approach to video games and their history / culture basically gaslights us who come from other realities:
