Heeeeey! Love to see it!
Today I want to share that Ryan Dancey and AEG have parted ways.
This is not an easy post to write. Ryan has been a significant part of AEG’s story, and I am personally grateful for the years of work, passion, and intensity he brought to the company. We have built a lot together.
Yesterday Ryan Dancey, the COO of AEG, said "I have zero reason to think AI couldn't come up with Tiny Towns or Flip Seven or Cubitos. I can prompt several AIs RIGHT NOW and get ideas for games as good as those". (AEG made two of those listed).
Today Ryan Dancey is no longer the COO of AEG.
AEG would not exist without the creativity and hard work of designers.
Like, you made a “miscovery”?
I make games because I love every step of the process—the initial idea, the scrappy first prototype, the first playtest filled with glee and failure and hope.
Here’s my scrappy first prototype of Tiny Towns. [1/6]
Here's a great way show that you, too, celebrate the joy of human creativity, from @hinokodo.com:

‘It’s a game that a cat would design if a cat could design a game," says @senfoonglim.bsky.social on his co-creation with David Killing.
