The things I specialize in wrt work are an eclectic mix.

I honestly thought I was doing something wrong until last night, when I saw a job profile that literally described everything I can do down to the t.

Blindfire on Steam Blindfire delivers unique FPS action in pitch-black arenas. Rely on sound and high-tech gadgets to develop your skills in new ways. Ideal for quick, high-tension matches with friends.

Lots of indies on here helping each other out with signal boosting, would appreciate some likes and reposts for Blindfire! Our little indie FPS in the dark! We're rolling out updates at a steady pace but we need exposure and players to stay alive!

Isn't the fact that it's alt. universe london supposed to be a reveal?

Or was that obvious to readers from the UK from the get-go?

Don't sleep on @ciaraerenai.bsky.social and their amazing work on converting Bludgeon into a playable single player game!

I hope the time on yourself makes a difference, dude!

And I'm sorry this has happened to you and the team.

Does this word count include lore and explanations, or is it just core rules and skill trees?

I've never had one of these before, so I'm glad my studio got the team and I these to commemorate our time on the game.

Why does 'finding the fun' fail so often as a design strategy?
#gamedesign

New designers are told to prototype and 'find the fun'. But the naive version of this is a garbage tactic that mostly results in poorly thought out prototypes that are never going to converge on gameplay.

I don't know ow why, but I dreamt that I was working on a mobile game tie-in to the new Linkin Park album.

Weirder still, it was 3 different kart racing style games whose rewards fed into the other.

Man, I really wish I could be in India to attend IGDC.

I miss bumping into old colleagues and seeing what the indies at home are cooking up.
