I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

Marble’s Marbles from James Oliver and @destined.com is out now 🎱

Help Marble navigate nostalgically crispy worlds packed with physics-powered challenges and obstacles. If you’re looking for a satisfying indie that just feels good to play, look no further.

Numer one rule with RPG music: The battle theme has to go hard, because you listen to it A LOT of the course of a 40-100 hour campaign.

Rockstar having to delay GTAVI and the Union busting are NOT isolated incidents.

See this as a victory. You have way more power than the Take Two money men. Without you the game wont get finished.

Join the fucking Union.

A game I've been working on for the past year and a half just came out a few days ago! It's called Disney Magic Match 3D. You can download it for free on iOS or Android.

Yeah this is just all bad. EA laid off tons of people to make themselves attractive for an acquisition and soon even more people will lose their jobs.

Meanwhile, major stock holders are getting a fat paycheck and investors get a shiny new asset to bleed dry.

Everyone wins except the workers.
A lot of people are (understandably) focused on the Saudi Arabia and Kushner part of this, but the far bigger immediate impact will come from the new private EA being on the hook for $20 billion in debt. That could mean mass layoffs, more aggressive monetization, and other big cost-cutting measures

We just want an affordable conference in an affordable city in a country that won't disappear people off the streets for having an accent or certain skin tones.

Also this "changing the game" branding is silly. You realize your target audience are game devs right? Stop with the flashy slogans.
We're changing the game.

I went to cancel Hulu after the ABC/Jimmy Kimmel situation. Clicking the "Cancel" button on the website just reloads the page. Could be a dark pattern or maybe a bug.

I used this instead: hulu.pissedconsumer.com/customer-ser...

Maybe Disney shouldn't enable fascism if it wants to keep my money.

If you're feeling gaslit over the media's lionization of Charlie Kirk even though he was clearly a terrible person, then welcome to feeling like a Black person in the U.S.

Look up the term "Double Consciousness" coined by W. E. B. Du Bois

You're not crazy. This is the system operating as intended.
