"Krafton announced that it had fired Unknown Worlds founders Charlie Cleveland and Max McGuire, as well as Chief Executive Officer Ted Gill."

Welp, Unknown Worlds is fucking dead without Charlie. Another amazing studio with institutional memory gutted by Capital.

Fucking boycott Subnautica 2 😤
BREAKING: Krafton has delayed the highly anticipated game Subnautica 2 to 2026, potentially costing the development team a $250 million bonus.

The studio's leadership had wanted to release the game this year but were ousted by Krafton last week.

A wild story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

We’re announcing new legislation — the No Secret Police Act (SB 627) — to ban local/state/federal law enforcement, w/ some exceptions, from covering their faces when interacting w/ the public & require them to wear identifying info.

The secret police behavior we’re seeing destroys trust & must end🧵

Hi all, I’ve written a novel.

It is called PROCESS. It is about a Seattle tech worker and would-be entrepreneur. It is published by Dublin-based Tune & Fairweather, and it looks incredible.

Great thoughtful game design thread/replies here.
Writing a section in my talk about the reaction to the save system in Pacific Drive... Our in-game messaging and feedback for how it works was terrible at launch (since improved), but it's interesting to me how for PD this was a slight and oversight, but for roguelites and soulslikes, no big deal.

tooting our own horns here but i think the new stacklands DLC is really good...

- less stressful than the base game
- removes a lot of the tedium of late game card management - requires you to think strategically about what to focus on next

a big inspiration was simcity and i think we nailed that!
