Shout out to all the amazing Black game developers, media, and creatives across every part of making games. I’m rooting for y’all year-round.
Go follow Black folks making games. We’re often ignored, then imitated. Tag some Black devs below and follow the ones you don’t know yet.

Mandrake has just passed 100,000 wishlists. That feels significant.
Recently we also passed 100,000 lines of code.
What could it mean?

Research is the MAGIC TIME on any project where I get to go have fun and explore. And 100% what you are looking for are the surprising and amazing details and textures that you could never make up
This is such a misunderstanding of why writers, artists, and designers do research to begin with, which is to find something unexpected, not capture the average or find reference for the default.
And, as always, the biggest misapprehension: We don’t want to NOT do this part. It’s fun to learn shit
And, as always, the biggest misapprehension: We don’t want to NOT do this part. It’s fun to learn shit
Anyone who supports this is an embarrassment. "Instead of typing it out they'll generate their idea"? Are you insane?
Call yourself whatever you want but you aren't creatives, that's for sure.

No Players Online - the full version of the viral abandoned online FPS horror game - is back on Steam. 🎉
The game was falsely removed weeks ago, just after launching, which has severely impacted the studio's survivability.
Please spread the word, and support it! ❤️

My favourite moment was when one of our playtesters said "this is the end of your career my friend" right when they picked their character.
Been doing some playtests today. It's been fun seeing people agonise over which human to play as when we all know they're not going to last long
