I think the thing I hate most about capitalism is the "forced" part, in a free market of ideas surely they should feel less threatened by trying new / different ideas?
Anyway back to making a game where you live or die based on how your coins flip... Not gonna introspect on that too much

Went dentist yesterday (context: had minor surgery 2 years ago for something, but it came back), dentist did x-rays and whilst the bone had fully grown back, there was still an issue.
I'm cash poor atm so I was a worried when I asked the cost, but he just said "oh nah, nothing, don't worry" 😭

Today was a really cool first proper "demo is out" day, someone reported some bugs, I fixed a bunch of them and shipped the first little demo update.
I'm sure there's some more truly game-breaking bugs in there but we ✨ trust the process ✨

One of my friends has released a demo for their new game! Its a deck builder based around coin flipping and it has a good balance of luck and strategy to it, I heavily recommend checking it out if you enjoy this genre!
Yayy, it took a bit to actually go live but the demo for Wunder: The Double-sided Deckbuilder is out now!!
Gonna make more noise about it tomorrow, for now I sleep 😅

Wunder: The Double-Sided Deckbuilder Demo on Steam
Wunder is a game of chance about flipping coins. Build a deck of coins with their own risk & reward; upgrade each side to tilt the odds in your favour, bolster your strategy with strange talismans...

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.
I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

Game is feeling really cool now, and whether you win or lose there's a cool show-off screen for your stats & deck
Demo is gonna come out tonight if there's no big bugs found in a few playthroughs!

any microtransactions. I think cosmetics are as poisonous as loot boxes, just in a different way.
I try not to begrudge anyone else doing microtransactions but I can't help feeling let down that it's been entirely normalised to co-opt players feelings of belonging in a game world to sell hats.

I genuinely think we'll have flying cars before I can move a video from my phone to my pc in front of me in a nice way
Where's the scifi folder I can open on my pc to see a preview of every file on my phone, then copy and paste it somewhere and it initiates a transfer for that just file.

Gonna launch the Wunder demo in the next day or 2, still a lot of stuff to add / fix but it's pretty solid!

I’d add; this beautifully illustrates the development ethos “make it in a week, finish it in a year”.
it’s maybe even a better tool for prioritization than “make it good later” because 1) you may not know what makes the thing ‘good’ and 2) the good thing should probably be part of the small thing?!

our lovely artists recently dug up some early development footage for some of the systems in Spirit Crossing.
we decided to put together a fun little side-by-side comparison to share with you all, starting with our glider system!

my take on game industry finance is any analysis of dev time, dev cost, sale pricing etc. is pointless without acknowledging the role of big capital in systematically acquiring and extracting all of the wealth
it‘s like giving someone diet and exercise advice while Dracula is actively killing them

I know this is just complaining about the first thing, but pubs seeing a game that has a lot of potential and saying "come back when it's further along" is just out-right disgusting to me.
I totally see it as a yes or no thing, you either assume the risk and fund it or you've lost your chance.

"we shouldn't have to work for free on a game until it's nearly-done enough to get funding" and "it's the only thing you can really do so you should do it if you want to make games" are both true imo and it's shit but what else is there really to do that isn't just give up
