I didn't get a pass this year. Still going to SF that week, but there are a ton of secondary events around GDC to fill up my schedule.
Ironic that the "Festival of Games" rebrand is meant to keep GDC relevant and yet the conference feels less relevant than ever.
Super Mario 64 walked so Banjo-Kazooie could run. Love Mario, but Banjo is the better game.

It's important to recognise a story for what it is:

Our game The Snake Is the Tower just went live for Steam Next Fest and this is my first one ever! I'd love for y'all to give the demo a play and drop a wishlist while you are at it.
Pitch below
My action skydiving racing FPS Aerial_Knight’s DropShot drops Feb 17 on PS5, Xbox, and PC.
You play as a guy bitten by a radioactive dragon, taking down mercs, dragons, tanks, and cows… all while trying not to mess up your fro.
Give it a Wishlist it means a lot 🙂

A timeline visually representing the advice from my post, emphasising how dramatically and reliably having more time, with a testable build, converts to your game being better and your studio being safer.
I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

Numer one rule with RPG music: The battle theme has to go hard, because you listen to it A LOT of the course of a 40-100 hour campaign.

They're condemning socialism for regular Americans.
The wealthy will continue to recieve their government-sponsored socialism (i.e. tax breaks, subsidies, and privileged access to capital).
Is it weird that this movie feels fake even though it's legitimately happening? I dunno, this all feels like that April Fools trailer IGN dropped way back when youtu.be/HBCzkz3gHb8?...

I might be old school, but hearing VO in Metroid games for the first time kinda broke my immersion.
To me, Metroid was always this survival and solitude thing. Other characters (especially humans) changed the vibe. Not to say that's bad. It's just a different kind of Metroid game.
Anyone that knows computer science understands that computers suck at nuance and interpreting vague notes like "The camera's a bit fiddly here".
Good QA requires critical thinking and following up with human beings to gain insight. GenAI can't do those things.
Square Enix is making a huge mistake.
Rockstar having to delay GTAVI and the Union busting are NOT isolated incidents.
See this as a victory. You have way more power than the Take Two money men. Without you the game wont get finished.
Join the fucking Union.
Really wish they'd also to the right thing for their employees
