Keeping this nugget a secret has been my burden for months. Super excited to see it get all the love it deserves. The team has been cooking, that's for sure.

Anyone else forget that they have social media for 4 months and immediately panic that you might have left someone on read?

I think the health of AAA games can be measured by how many games have a level where you get swallowed up by a giant beast and have a boss fight against one of its vital organs. AAA is at its worse when it thinks it's too cool to have a boss fight against a giant beast's vital organ.

Pretty sure if my graduate advisor knew this was what I was doing with my degree he'd come to my house and kill me with a pitchfork

Officially trying to build a studio for a publisher pitch. To that end, I'm looking for game devs who've been victims of layoffs or studio closures who'd be interested in signing on if it's greenlit and funding is secured. More info in the thread to follow, but here's the initial list:
