I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

"Figma is gonna paywall my AI prototyping! Work won't pay for it!"

Can't wait for employers to create a benefits system where employees take optional pay cuts for access to software. Then the "higher performing" employees set the new standard and everyone earns less~

Gotta create shareholder value and customer engagement. Prompt my way to communication skills.

With our new demo running during Steam Next Fest, I'm seeing more players discover Ambrosia Sky's immersive sim sensibilities.

I thought it might be fun to share a pair of moment from the demo that illustrates this, through the lens of how I do my work as a level designer.

I've been toying with GBStudio for a bit now and I've managed to recreate some of the basic things from Zelda. But the biggest achievement for me was figuring out how to (mostly) recreate the inventory system. It's not 1:1, but it works! And it makes me appreciate how far game engines have come.

I am enjoying Hades 2 because it's, well it's Hades 1 with more nuanced combat.

But did they just forget the tutorial? Feels like I just got thrown into things with little to no explanation.
