Itch's new content policy is:

1. We can't tell you what violates the rules.

2. If you violate the rules, we take all your money. Not just the money from that work, ALL your money from EVERYTHING you've ever made.

I don't care how much of a smol bean Itch is, this is not a viable platform.

seeing people hit by the layoffs today who have worked in the industry for DECADES. one guy had worked on fucking STAR WARS GAMES FOR THE SNES, another had been at blizzard since starcraft.

that kind of continual experience in the industry is like gold dust, and MS are just throwing it in the bin

i don't know if you can be saved if can't find the budget or value in keeping the ROMEROS in your stable. That fierce creativity, that institutional knowledge.

This is a white flag from Microsoft. A complete resignation from the creative industry. Weak shit decision made by baby brained freaks.
Honestly, for me, this feels like the final straw. I get it - Microsoft is there to make money blah blah, but this truly feels like Xbox is over. The Switch 2 already took the spot of the Series X in my setup. I've been using more Linux and MacOS too.

Adi Shankar trolls with mad cocaine energy. I laughed hardest at “game sales will go up” as if whatever show that comes out with with six episodes three years from now is gonna boost sales of the latest Duke Nukem game, Duke Nukem Forever. “Apache software” made me legitimately angry for a second.

Little bit of a Mega Drive experiment - the "gigaboss" tank is rendered entirely with tiles, there's no sprites used so we can have a screen sized boss.

Based on "Big Mama" by chabull on OpenGameArt.

#Gaurodan is out!

The 2013 game has been completely redone to fit my current vision of traditional arcade game design. It's denser (more levels but less overall length), with better pacing, mechanics and a proper scoring system.
