Hi all!
I've just joined here with a few others it seems, so I thought I'd introduce myself. 👋
I'm a lead game designer at Lucid Games, and I primarily used Twitter to talk about games and design, and occasionally some philosophy. Sometimes, all together! ✨

Took a while but finally we know what game design is
Many people do not understand game design. Let me explain: game design is when attacking with your primary attack builds stacks of zorp, and your secondary consumes zorp stacks to add additional slow and lifesteal when you plurk

Game industry continues to be just incredibly bleak behind the scenes. Ecosystem is in free fall. Doubt there’ll be an easy solution, or a quick one. This darkest hour has dragged out to a darkest couple of years.

I'm genuinely curious, what were some other games that came out with better stories than these nominees? (this is a secret wishlist post)

I know awards are always underwhelming but 1000xRESIST getting 0 nominations is just sad

I was in Tokyo and entered one of those small anime figure shops that are so cramped you can barely fit in. The owner asked me if I was looking for something in particular, I said no.
He went, where are you from?
Italy!
Oh, LUPIN!
I've never been stereotyped so correctly.

Given that I am Italian, and as a child anime used to air alongside US, European and Russian cartoons with no distinction, I can't remember the first one I watched so here's a Red Jacket Lupin III gif (no Tiger Mask or Jeeg or Yatterman or Sampei in the available gifs)

Counter-hot-take: nobody really knows why games sell at all.
One moment we think we figured it out and the other something like Flappy Bird comes out.
Then we think we got it again, and Among Us starts selling 1.5 years after the release.
Then we think AAA got it and they release Concord.

Everyone trying to work out why video games aren’t selling anymore — “Too many games? Prices are too low? Marketing is hard?” — when the answer this time around is actually simple:
The world got *fucked* and no-one has any money
People are struggling to pay bills and rent, let alone buy your game
