I could have watched this cutscene for 2 hours. So good. @foddy.net
nice shoutout in this cutscene to the massive "she puts on her jacket" 3d-animation flex from the announcement trailer for Intergalactic: the Heretic Prophet ( psst @clairecarre.bsky.social )
Been laughing all morning about this 28 min unskippable cutscene that Baby Steps traps players in after they try to skip 30 cutscenes. The fact the button presses get harder the more you skip and then the banter & how it's done is so funny. Flawless exectution of the bit. youtu.be/mQahQACsvPU?...

Bugs and Drugs (1978) released on the PLATO mainframe by Mark Gorback, Dave Tanaka, and Paul Alfille is an early edutainment RPG. Targeted mainly towards medical students, players explore a hospital "dungeon" fighting diseases with fists or with medicine! (a deadly residency thread)

If you’re at GDC and just so happen to get inspired to apply to that company you were too afraid to apply to…just do it. Spend 5 minutes talking to the folks at those companies and realise they’re just big nerds. They did it and so can you.

If there’s anything Caves of Qud and FromSoft games should tell us, the problem is not the lore but the dump. Turn your lore into little treasures! Let the folks who don’t care have a duller experience. That’s life!
Let players buy in to your lore dump!!
The intro only needs to set up your immediate stakes, and then you can explain yourself once they've started to care.

My pet peeve is games starting with a big disconnected lore dump. A disembodied voice explaining the global politics of the Zandariel Kingdom and your place in it or whatever. Drop the player into the world. Let them intuit the lore and worldbuilding through characters, action, and the environment.

I recently saw an amazing Navajo rug at the National Gallery of Art. It looks abstract at first, but it is a detailed representation of the Intel Pentium processor. Called "Replica of a Chip", it was created in 1994 by Marilou Schultz, a Navajo/Diné weaver and math teacher. 1/n

For me, the most incredible artefacts from the ancient world are the letters people wrote on clay tablets and sent to one another over thousands of years in Mesopotamia, going back to more than 5,000 years ago.
They contain recognisable humanity, warmth and humour. Here's a thread of my favourites.
