It's been a year and a half since I launched "Applying For Game Dev Jobs Simulator". It's only gotten worse since then, from what I can tell.

Leaving Develop in Brighton early this year, but it has been a pleasure.
There's lots of reasons to be pessimistic about the games industry lately, but I always feel better after spending time with the wonderful humans who are, against all the odds, still making brilliant things.

I'm headed to Develop in Brighton this morning! Only going to be there for around 24 hours this year, so if you wanna say hi, you're going to have to just dive in as soon as you see me. Good news though, I like talking to people from the internet. Let's get to it.

as a child I thought it was wildly unrealistic that Sims would immediately give up on all their goals and dreams if a single dirty plate was left on the ground but now that I’m an adult I understand that that was the most realistic part of the game

moral compromise is often much, much subtler
