BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really.
Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are.

![[Question]
Solo game devs, do you take time in making your own game assets (models, textures, sounds, etc)?
[Answer by Hugo]
God no. I'm game designer and I plan to finish my game before I die of old age.
I think this question can be answered by the specific discipline of the solo dev:
* Artists will often make very pretty games with custom-made assets
* Programmers will make polished and mechanically interesting games
* Designers](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sxscr72vaqvnssgn5525va3u/bafkreiht6mtmcrga5r65nxcfxc3qf6iou6d4giy6hktnojl3zekocjoozy@jpeg)

Genuinely couldn't believe this figure until I saw the Financial Times confirm it using Meta's own financial reporting data
For THIS
$100 billion is genuinely the kind of money you could "do the impossible" with. Crack nuclear fusion. HIV vaccine. Universal flu vaccine
And they spent it on this

Ursula K. Le Guin's approach to adventure feel so good... I'm in love with Earthsea narrative style. It's not about grand epic stories, but about emotions and private experiencies.
After having read most Sanderson books through the last year, this feels so good.

On top of it, other people send bottles with lights and cool pictures, while all we game designers have to offer is... spreadsheets?
Anyone weird enough to be interested in seeing a crazy spreadsheet born through the chaos of an ideation phase? No? Didn't think so.

I'm not that good with social media anyways.
For me, it feels like I'm putting messages in a bottle and throwing them to a sea already packed with other people bottles'.

2024 currently has more known games industry layoffs than 2023+2022 combined.
2024 is roughly 600 layoffs away from doubling 2023. There is still plenty of business days left in the month.
I can't emphasize enough how extreme these last few years have been.
So far.

I gave it a try last night just to check how versatile it is, and I loved it!
Just a feature missing on my opinion: To be able to make appear and dissappear by trigger another triggers. And maybe more dressing options, like stand-alone lights for better level navigation.
Anyways, 100% recommended!

Super-Dungeon-Maker is apparently free for educational purposes, and that makes me SO happy :D
I just bought it for myself, but I plan to share it with my game design class. Hopefully we'll be having soon a level design workshop!

Oh! We're doing this here too? Cool 🥸
Game devs, the weekend is coming up, and if you have something to show for #ScreenshotSaturday, post it in the replies, and I will put you in a starter pack.
Show me what you got between now and Sunday night to get added. I'll see how this works out. Might do it weekly ;)

First time working fully remote, but already so into it. This shit feels more natural than breathing.
Also, most of the team is quite close to each other. I think that's opening a nice balance between some in-person meetups plus daily remote work.
