Fyi, Yomi 2 (fighting game themed card game) has a Free Weekend on Steam right now. Every character and every gem are free. You can play against friends, the CPU, the extensive single player career mode, whatever you want. Try it out. Tabletop version is funding on Gamefound now.

So awesome to see such amazing game design talent migrating here.

getting follow notifications from people who I have such high esteem and respect for has been a treat this week.

Wanted to share a positive example of generative AI that I think serves a net-positive without replacing the job of a human. This is a scambait AI specifically designed to waste their time.

(The rendered video is for the sake of illustration, not what the actual AI does)

For anyone with kids who are all about that Skibidi Toilet, you can show them the original you grew up with.

(And if you don't know about this, know your roots! This is Half Life Fanfiction from 2006!)

Nothing does a better job of making me want to come back to bsky than the sheer amount of engagement and follow notifications that you get for engaging in a positive/value-add way on the platform.

Since I’m such a noob and only now learned I had DM’s closed, just going to say that I’m working on a game design website/community for aspiring and professional game designers.

Anyone interested in contributing or even just giving feedback, please DM!

Not to mention the differing incentive and reward structures!

People who think Riot is hiring a “prompter” for the generative ai role need to read the job description.

And if they’re assume Riot is hiring phd students and not paying them just be cause the title is “intern” it’s hard to take as anything but being disingenuous.

Starter pack - Gamedevs aged like fine wine.

I've been making games since 1984, professionally since 2000. I made a list of other devs with tons of XP, so I don't feel alone. :-)

Epic Games is officially cool with the Internet Archive preserving early Unreal games

Since there’s a ton of discourse about game sales, I wanted to just put myself out there as someone who has designed and led on f2p games with micro transactions for the last 15+ years.

If you’ve operating or developing a game that could benefit from some free experienced advice, hit me up.

I know I just joined here a couple days ago, can someone explain to me why they’re called skeets, and not beats?

Just curious, not really a big deal.

So awesome to see all the familiar names and faces in my feed as I find the industry follow lists.

This is weirdly familiar, but I guess that’s ok. Heyo to those who may know me, and hi tho those yet to.

I’m Mitch, I design games. If you played Facebook games back in the Zynga days, or Weed Inc: Idle Tycoon on your phone, you’ve probably played something I worked on.
