important thoughts I like here. thinking a lot about these themes for my next project. Community and collaboration in all senses is key, I believe.
Sat down for a lovely chat with @clert.bsky.social over @eurogamer.bsky.social To talk about my games and how I'd like to keep making and improving them sustainably. To step away from the launch, meme and hype driven madness that has taken root in games.

As viral hits like Escape from Duckov and Megabonk change the industry, Falconeer developer Tomas Sala has found another way to survive
What if you didn't have to spin the roulette wheel every time you released a new game, hoping for it to find an audience? What if there was a better way?

There is something truly remarkable about Generative AI.
Several years in this revolution, half of the US GDP dumped to make these tools free, and i can't think of a single generated artifact, text, image, sound, video that had a significant cultural impact.

A) the popularity of fan communities and fan fiction in general, especially w/adults for children's media
B) the big success of a handful of cutesy/non-violent indie games + Animal Crossing in 2020

We need to talk about the cozyfication of games because it’s a serious disease, possibly as bad as the edgyfication of the 90s and the grittyfication of the 00s.

Great thread. Nuance to oversimplified judgements.
Periodically over ~25 years I’ve seen concern erupt over one variety of structured, playful interaction or another, questioning whether some kinds of “gameplay” might be inherently flawed (regardless of context or ends). Even after much thought I’ve never found these critiques cogent or accurate
