Hi new Bluesky friends 👋 I’m Teddy - a game designer/director who co-led games like Hyper Light Drifter, Peabody Winner/pop group OFK, and the LA collective Glitch City! I’m working on some new games about action, music, life, fashion… I’ll get to talk about them soonish. For now, I’ve got fries.
Welcome to gamedev BlueSky, Twitter flee-ers! I co-led Hyper Light Drifter & directed We Are OFK
I give game design talks & travel when recovering from a long development! I sing for OFK and talk fashion sometimes, Final Fantasy all the time. Making a couple new things!

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead.
I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.

"Quality of Life Improvements" are sometimes a bad idea for your game. Don't round out your interesting edges because you're afraid a player will feel a hard feeling!
