Cedre 🍃

I recently got the Quest 3, it's great and all, but I notice almost all apps have to be purchased (around £10 or more each), and the free ones are just a demo with a £7/month subscription.

I'm ready to buy polished full games on it, but it's too bad to hide cool apps behind such high costs.

Congrats on the new studio 👏

Disco Elysium fanart depicting a night scene next to the Dolorian Church of Humanity, the church's windows and door are shining, on the right side, the 2 main characters of the game are on a boat going to the horizon on a sea reflecting the brightly colored sky, lights are shining of rainbow colors, almost like northern lights.

A fanart tribute to the fantastic game that is Disco Elysium ✨

Now he already wrote a book about his 10 days in jail like he is the world's only martyr who suffered greatly. (Narcissism is one hell of a drug)

Yeah I was gonna say he's in jail, but not anymore.

Ooh this is a great watch, thanks!

Some gamedevs manage to hide the fact that they take drugs. Some do not.

I didn't read at first and assumed it was a "before/after" transition story. What a day to have eyes.

I swear if I were working for Netflix/Disney+ and all these, I'd fight for the users.

I hate this infantilising and dishonest UX. The users know they want to get out, but nope, better put them in front of a maze and push for a "are you sure sure?" "oh and look what you'll miss" narrative 💀

Bonus point for making the experience of cancelling a subscription a game of: "search for the real Cancel button on every pages of a 5 step process to get you to accidentally click on the more obvious and highlighted Resubscribe button".

I seriously don't know what these UI/UX designers are doing.

It's my final straw. If I don't find work in 1 month, I'll have to quit gamedev definitely, and make a big career change for something more stable.

It looks extremely cool!! 👏👏👏

A selection of images from games etc. Hannah Nicklin has worked on, a screencap or key art image from: Saltsea Chronicles, Black Mirror: Thronglets, Mutazione; and the cover of Writing for Games: Theory & Practice. Also featured two reviews. One from Eurogamer: 5/5 Saltsea Chronicles "Onwards you go in pursuit of your missing crew, then, your story diverging further from mine with every island choice, with every flick of the head or settling of the lips. Memories/Artefacts? Skeptical/Curious? And astonishingly, through all these moving parts, all this phase space, my story still made rich sense, and actually built to a truly devastating climax. Scream/Weep? Fittingly, for me, Saltsea Chronicles turned out to be a story about choices as well as a story made of choices. It made me think about the big decisions I make in life, but also the decisions that shape a life that I don't even notice having made. Ripples turning to waves and all that. You must play this. It's luminous." The second of Mutazione from Gamespew, 9/10 "Mutazione is a game that builds up relationships within a community you instantly feel a part of. The main story is secondary to the real drama and the heart of the town, but it’s necessary. It’s extremely well-written, and the hand-drawn environments are beautifully designed. Die Gute Fabrik has crafted a sweet, powerful fairy tale that delves into the human psyche and allows you to reside there for five hours or so."

Totally ludicrous that steam is happy to allow its monopolistic store to be flooded with waves of tasteless, tacky bullshit, including borderline scams, and yet will bring itself to intervene when a game's artistic sensibilities don't align with their incredibly vague, nondescript values

Evergreen advice for new artists, remove "Aspiring Artist" or whatever variation out of your bio! Are you making art? Then you're an artist! Life as a creative can be difficult enough as is. Starting off on the path by putting yourself down doesn't help you.

Really enjoyed speaking about UI/UX, video games in general & a bunch of other topics!
Looking forward to seeing this podcast episode being released 🙇

Thanks to @linkshinigami.bsky.social for having me!

A three armed woman in a prison jumpsuit with a mullet walks in handcuffs along a metal walkway away from armed guards in futuristic, padded armour and helmets that completely hide their faces. Behind the woman the title "IT EATS PLANETS" is emblazoned in bright red. At the bottom the author's name "Samantha Mackenzie Greer" is written in red too. In the background is a landing pad with a large, well used helicopter with fumes falling from its exhaust pipe. Above them is a dark sky of green clouds though a parting reveals the void of space where a ringed gas giant is silhouetted against a red sun.

A blueish, gloomy derelict factory floor with an avalanche of garbage in the foreground and sides of the frame with a sliver of floor space guiding the eye under a concrete bridge and past heavily graffitied columns, to a large, towering machine and altar at the centre. A person in a poncho sits there, waiting beneath the collapsed ceiling where far above we can see towering pipes of extraction criss crossing to form a dark, steel sky.

A comic page. A vertical panel on the left side which depicts a mysterious person in a poncho coming down the steps of a trench and alleyway carved out of rock, covered in graffiti and with pipes criss crossing above. On the right are a panel of this person rustling under their poncho and a second panel show them looking up some small orange case with a relieved smile, held in the hand of a previously concealed third arm. A third panel shows them concealing this object, their attention drawn to something off panel.

IT EATS PLANETS is now publicly available to read!

A queer, sci-fi comic about heists, ancient evil and fighting to survive on a dying planet. New pages every Thursday.

Please kindly check it out, give it a read and share it

Mais mon dieu quelle drama queen ce mec 😅

Meme of a boy asking for more food with his empty bowl raised up, it says "Please sir... I want some less"

You know, sometimes I read some news, and I'm like:

a medieval style digital drawing of an androgynous brown-skinned knight on horseback on a hill, stabbing a long gold spear into a blue dragon on the ground. the knight has a gold halo behind their head and wears a suit of silver armor with a nonbinary flag striped tunic and a trans flag as a cape. their horse is white, with blue tack with trans pride trim. there is black gothic text at the top and bottom of the image reading “A world without trans people has never existed and never will.” there’s an ornate pale blue border around the image, filled with pink and blue scrollwork, gold hearts filled with colorful flowers, a smiley bat, two smiley moles, and two smiling frogs holding up trans flags.

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

Any sympathy I might have had for the Unknown Worlds founders sure evaporated as I read this racist and sexist screed that came out in discovery
