My next project is getting closer to being announced. If you’re interested in joining the private playtest for it, I will be having members of my Discord playtest it before everyone else.
If you like 1980s horror or synthwave music like Carpenter Brut, you will probably like it!

The Escapist accused Blue Prince developer Dogubomb of using generative AI. This is patently false and an utterly gross accusation.

Worked with this guy for the past six years and I’m gonna miss him
Today is my last day at GLHF as Deputy Editor and it's been a wild ride over some four or five years.
I'm not really one for the freelance life but if you need an experienced games writer for reviews, mocks, or scorching hot takes, give me a shout while I figure my life out.

Really shortsighted, this. But it’s not surprising because the staff there are constantly trying to write quality stuff while management pushes ridiculous quotas and the bean counters involve themselves in editorial decisions. It’s why I left four years ago. Thought I could change things, couldn’t.
Valnet unfortunately let go of the entire TheGamer features team today alongside several other staff members.
Many incredibly talented and hard working writers I've had the pleasure of working with over the past several years.

It’s actually somehow way worse than this screenshot suggests if you look at the site. Mad that they’re still supported with opportunities for actual games, but maybe people just aren’t aware.
Videogamer's new logo a screaming exclamation mark on the 'support independent games media' argument. Legitimately thought this was someone taking the piss when it was first posted in a discord, but no, it's on the site. You have to laugh (or else you'll cry)
