Harrison G. Pink - Open to work! @gilespink.bsky.social · Oct 17
My GDC 2017 Narrative Design talk on creating resonant characters is now up on YouTube! I go over some lessons learned (and mistakes made) attempting to build characters that players would really be able to attach to emotionally. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyQf...
Snap to Character: Building Strong Player Attachment Through Narrative

The extent to which Games Done Quick has helped to steer the larger speedrunning community - one of the most hardcore video game enthusiast subcultures there is - into becoming something so welcoming, inclusive and supportive astonishes me

Everybody is saying that you should hire me to absolutely nail the look of your characters in 2026

Hey!

Do you need a highly technical character artist with almost 15 years of individual contributor and leadership experience? Looking for someone to wrangle your shaders? Or perhaps you need a person to assemble your character art pipeline?

That's me!

You were moved to do this by pride and by hate. Is it any wonder the result was ruin?

I keep seeing the montages of voice actors on tik tok saying “I’m a voice actor…” and then doing one of their famous lines.

I made my own attempt at it.

Plus, nobody really sees me do Oglethorpe.

There are many things to love about Rami’s top 10 for 2025 but this is one of my favourites.
No market research would've approved a French j'RPG. No genre coverage graph would've led to PEAK. No player count prediction would've funded a decade-long development cycle for a game about blueprints. The games you love are built by people who got to dream, and had the resources to back it up.

always knew the burrito taxi industry was scummy but this is the most unfathomably evil, cartoon villain shit I’ve read in a while. jfc
From the thread: “But the thing that actually makes me sick—and the main reason I’m quitting—is the "Desperation Score." We have a hidden metric for drivers that tracks how desperate they are for cash based on their acceptance behavior. If a driver usually logs on at 10 PM and accepts every garbage $3 order instantly without hesitation, the algo tags them as "High Desperation." Once they are tagged, the system then deliberately stops showing them high-paying orders. The logic is: "Why pay this guy $15 for a run when we know he’s desperate enough to do it for $6?" We save the good tips for the "casual" drivers to hook them in and gamify their experience, while the full-timers get grinded into dust.”

There is an incredible Michael Frith exhibit at the Bermuda National Gallery right now. Fun fact: Fraggle Rock is based on people he knew and his life in Bermuda!
