Wildflower had a large layoff today, I don't know exactly how many but it's a good chunk of the studio. I am one of those that lost their jobs today. I'm gonna take a few days to settle and then I'll be looking for something new. I'd appreciate any leads you might here about!

I've been making video games in some form for 20 years, so I wrote an article about my process - and why I don't use an engine.

I think if you’re a young person (or an older person frankly) considering some kind of creative project, the state of the world is more or less “fuck it we ball” like, you might as well

The private equity playbook - restructure the company so it has to increase revenue quickly or be shut down - isn’t great for any industry but it’s especially disastrous for games, where it may be literally impossible to increase revenue until your next project is ready to release
They're shutting down successful studios. There's no one else TO blame. Everyone else did their jobs.
59 percent of devs call industry market 'bad,' blame investors and mismanagement

God damn it this is not wrong
i think we should stop giving our ai bots female names (alexa, siri) and give them names from the old white boys club (john, james, chad) in honor of how overconfident and annoying they are even when they’re completely wrong or making stuff up
