won't have em for this weekend, but i've been getting a few more people at my table than I'd like lately asking *very pointedly* if i drew everything myself, so i designed a new sticker this afternoon that will hopefully quell some of those concerns.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

🚨PSA‼️Someone created a fake fossil quest website, stole the browser version off Itch and embedded it there. DO NOT GO TO THIS SITE OR PLAY THE GAME THERE. This is not our website. Please only use our Itch page.

Also, if anyone has any advice for what to do about this let me know #gamedev #indiedev

Jennifer English realizing she's a lesbian and falling in love with one of her mocap directors (Aliona Baranova) over the course of making BG3 and seeing all the queer folks embracing Shadowheart and the impact the game had is genuinely one of the best stories in game production in a long time
Congrats to Jennifer English for winning the Best Lead Performer award at the 2025 #GoldenJoystickAwards!

And her acceptance speech about queer joy was a love letter to @aliona.bsky.social 🥹🌈

The rule of thumb I was taught was "8 - 12 words wide column widths", and this example illustrates that perfectly. 😃
This is something that's been really bothering me lately with games. It's not just an aesthetic issue, it's also genuinely harder to read text if it's too wide, so I made this (little sloppy) quick guide to show what I mean.

In Human Factors Psychology there is the principle that with increased automation comes increased consequence for failure

With a hammer you get a sore thumb

A nail gun puts you in the emergency room

A industrial machine kills you and your coworkers

This is actually a post about LLMs, not hammers
