Rest in peace, Graham Greene. I met you once, as a teen on a movie set, and you talked to me like an adult. You were just a super chill guy. ❤️

It’s so wrong that tweets about layoffs in the last two years have become evergreen, but here we are.

To my friends and peers who lost work, I am so sorry. Once again, here is the layoff lecture from my friend Worth.
To my WB friends,

Saying “I’m so sorry” will never properly convey how I feel watching people I respect so much lose work. If I can help, I’m happy to do so.

In the meantime, I posted this lecture on how to navigate layoffs from my friend Worth last year. I hate that it continues to be relevant.

In this one way, the "messaging" today is helpful because it doesn't waste time pretending to be a "hard choice" driven by "economic necessity". It's a tool that is working to increase "shareholder value" and they will keep using it, year after year after year as a result.

Believe today's message.

It’s really good - go try it !
Our debut game, Eternal Strands is sitting pretty at 50% off for the Steam Summer Sale. Use magical powers, fight colossus-sized beasts, uncover the mystery of the Enclave, maybe even do some smoochin’!

People seem to like it! We sure loved building it.

Garden now has stairs. A couple hours to shape the rock and drill the holes in the granite…five minutes to bolt the stairs on

Following the cancellation of Hytale, I'm now looking for work after seven years at Hypixel Studios. Please reach out if you'd like to talk game design, worldbuilding, or creative direction.

Or books, obviously. I also write books.

Hello, Bluesky friends! It's time for #AskHytale! ✨

Question from 'Memetheew' on Twitter:
"Are Long-Lasting singleplayer 'worlds' a thing the team has in mind when designing Hytale and thinking about how they might roll new updates once the game is out?"

Let's see what our Game Director says 👀

Some of the most fun I've had in a game this year, definitely recommending Eternal Strands if you're into that game genre! It's beautiful, fun, has loveable characters and well crafted lore ♥ The music and art direction is flawless too, give it a try! 🥰

Just watched a really interesting episode of Watch, Play, Listen where @charalanahzard.bsky.social @awintory.bsky.social and @mikelaidlaw.bsky.social talk about how Yellow Brick Games and Eternal Strands came together.

Give this game a chance, it's so fun!
