THEY CUT THE TIME-LOOP VILLAGE???
Oh man, that’s so disappointing. I expected hand-holding, maybe some changes in the narrative, but cutting whole stories? What’s the point?

While Dragon Quest VII Reimagined still encapsulates much of what makes Dragon Quest VII resonant, efforts to streamline the adventure succeed at the expense of player discovery. Our review: https://www.rpgsite.net/review/19437-dragon-quest-vii-reimagined-review

There are many reasons to help people. One that I think gets overlooked sometimes is: helping others often helps you. So if you feel like shit, don’t flagellate yourself in the dark. Leave your head a little. Extend some kindness. You can’t do everything, but you can do some things.

A lot of Americans don't realize that they export rapists and violent bigots all over the world, stationed in military bases.
You ever think about how many U.S. Military bases there are all over the entire fucking planet? I do sometimes.
Thinking about that right now as I see lots of other people (rightly) calling on the rest of the world to take a stand against the U.S.

We're doing a series of behind the scenes style devlogs where we discuss how and why we came upon certain systems in Demonschool. This first one is about our battle system. We want to be more transparent about our process, and this is one step toward that! www.youtube.com/watch?v=wN3p...

there is almost no feedback I will reflexively ignore as a game developer but “you shouldn’t name something X because people don’t know that word” is one of them. oh no! You might learn a new word! God forbid you take away a piece of knowledge from a game that’s not a brand of gun or some shit lol

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

The best way journalists can support indie games is to cover more than whatever the current indie hits/darlings of the moment are. Games like Hades, Blue Prince, and Silksong do not need help with visibility, but discoverability is the biggest challenge facing many indie devs today.

I wrote more words about how it feels to be a translator watching the games press report on AI and labor, coming from a field that's fought these battles for decades. It may look like I'm beating up on one outlet, but it's not about them; I've been trying to write this for me and my peers all year.

if you are actually concerned with devs getting paid what they're worth you could probably say more useful things than "games should be $100". you could condemn excessive exec pay. you could fight for unionization and better labor protections. you could display, like, any interest in ending poverty
