I guess it’s a good time to re-bring up that anyone working with Fair Play Collective will be contractually obligated to not push crunch on their employees.
Why? Because. It’s. Fucking. Bad.

Hey, Dylan here - it’s been a long year. I’m going to go recharge at a B&B in Asheville with my lovely wife until next year, and then I’m going to watch @gamesdonequick.com the following week and play video games.
I’m turning off socials and taking a break.
See you all then!

If you don't feel obligated to argue with someone who tells you that your hair is made of fettuccini alfredo, you shouldn't feel the need to argue with someone who tells you games can't be art. This post is already giving it too much thought. It doesn't warrant a response other than "ok bud"

Just another example of how the console wars used to be between SEGA and Nintendo.
The creativity was just off the charts back then!

This is a great video about workers who were recently fired by Rockstar Games. They were trying to establish a union before they were unfairly fired.
Then Rockstar lied saying they were fired for "gross misconduct".
Their firing is gross.

Extra Life 2025 was a great success! If we’ve been chatting and/or planning to chat, give me a couple of days to recover and I’ll be back on track. My brain is pretty numb at the moment.

Throwing this out here. Nothing to do with FPC, but I (Dylan) would love to play some great indies on stream this weekend!
Hey #indiedev and #indiegames, I'm going to be streaming for 24 hours for charity in less than a week and I have about SIX hours of unaccounted for time on the schedule.
Do you have a game out that I can play? Link me and I'll buy and play it on stream (not any sort of crazy audience to be fair)

We’re saddened by the news of Heart Machine doing more layoffs, less than two weeks before the release of their upcoming game Possessor(s).
Layoffs like this show that the industry can be filled with uncertainty and we believe that #gamedev of #indiegames deserve better.
