Hey bluesky, is my network ready for some indie game reveal today?

Santa brought some long-awaited book. I really liked „Press Reset” and @jasonschreier.bsky.social ability to present reality of game dev while showing huge respect to developers involved.

I have retired the Dialogue Design Advanced course.
However, it isn't going into trash. I published all lessons from it on itch, all ~80 pages. First lesson is free, the rest is 20 bucks.

Please share, as even the free lesson has a lot of good stuff.

Suddenly it's not a problem because "ha ha funny pokemon game." Something like this finding success normalizes it's use in the industry. So if you're against AI, now's your time to back that up.

Anyone playing the Palworld game? I look at it and see pokemon-like creatures being chopped for food, enslaved for work or equipped with guns and I have question - is the game trying to be tongue-in-cheek commentary on creature collection game fantasy or just plain edgy?
