As a Thanksgiving treat, I've got some fun indie game coverage coming this week and next: deep-dive interviews with the people behind two of 2025's best games (and two of my favorites of *all time*) plus a big feature about the making of a very cool upcoming Zelda-like starring a quirky mouse

In The Labyrinth of Time, entering the Ziggurat without a lantern is supposed to show a black screen. However, the developers put in the wrong filename for the black screen, so it fails to render, showing a black screen instead

perhaps the most egregious thing that happened with the Future Class was when The Game Awards took money from Old Spice in the name of the FC & simply... pocketed it
it wasn't used to fund Future Class initiatives, it wasn't used to help lift marginalised developers
they just profited from us

A company with decades of single-player experience pivoting to multiplayer? Well, it worked for Anthem, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, FBC: Firebreak, Redfall, Marvel's Avengers, and all those PlayStation games

A lot of people are (understandably) focused on the Saudi Arabia and Kushner part of this, but the far bigger immediate impact will come from the new private EA being on the hook for $20 billion in debt. That could mean mass layoffs, more aggressive monetization, and other big cost-cutting measures

It’s official: EA is going private.
The leveraged buyout will be financed by a staggering $20 billion of debt, which likely means some *aggressive* cost cutting is ahead for EA in the coming months and years.

Hot take maybe, but I think if you're unable to acknowledge this is a real problem you just don't actually care about indie developers that much. You're fine with an endless horde of largely ignored options (that are potentially great) because there is no cost to you at a consumer level.

Absolutely devastated by this news. SpaceDrake was no doubt a huge influence in drumming up interest for Japanese indie games localized into English and pushing for them on digital distribution storefronts like steam. Huge loss. Might be time for another playthrough of Recettear in his honour.

NES game development on a Commodore 128. At Software Creations we used C128s for some of our early NES games - Solstice, Fast Break, World Games. The C128 based development system hardware and software was written by Mike Webb. This video shows me loading up the NES Magic Johnson's Fast Break code.
