Have never seen anything this good or this easy. It’s such a simple contract and they’ve been amazing to work with.

lol I’m glad I name searched PD this morning: your comment unlocked something in my head about the talk on the game I’m giving on Friday. So close to the design that I kinda forgot that the stakes of a run are extraction games stakes. Thanks for playing and posting!!

extraction shooters and roguelikes are brothers and Pacific Drive is the perfect middle sibling

Happy birthday to Boston Celtics legend Marcus Smart. This is the precise moment I fell in love with the man.

This is so cool!! I’ve always loved these sounds. First thing Connor mentions is how there are Geneva Conventions style rules about siren sounds, which I only found out when ASITP told us at the time. Love seeing/hearing how Connor worked around the constraints to make some awesome sfx

Optical illusion of a woman bent over some papers. Her sunglasses are pushed up and she is wearing a hair band so the top of her head looks exactly like a Muppet face

PlaySFMOMA: The MIX Indie Games Gallery Play games and hang out with some of the best creative minds in the industry at this indie games pop-up arcade.

GDC attendees (and others in the Bay!)

@digitaleclipse.bsky.social will be showing some of our interactive documentary games at SFMOMA on Thursday and Friday, the 12th and 13th! Requires museum admission, which I believe is discounted if you have a GDC badge.

The text β€œwet and bulbous fruit” is highlighted in the passage β€œToo many and they lose their zealβ€”now you’re just eating a bowl of raisinsβ€”too few and the gruel becomes dull from repetition. But don’t substitute grapesβ€”the wet and bulbous fruit is overly memorable and recognizable: this content is less special when you taste it a second time, and spotlights the artifice.”
