I have a very simple and straightforward two-step plan to Save The Video Game Industry:
Step 1: Globally eliminate the concept of a classed society and redistribute all surplus resources among the populace, permanently enshrining social ownership of the means of production.
Step 2: Ridge Racer 8.
Desperately looking for anyone in Scotland to foster a 2 year old female cat named Bambi. Incredibly affectionate and friendly. Indoor-only. Whether temporary (a few weeks) or longer term.
She's going to be put to sleep otherwise -- due to a heart issue that won't affect her for another 12 months
Congrats, it looks amazing!

They could offer free writing training, free art lessons, country wide universal basic income, but they choose to offer... shite.

People saying "we crunched together" like it's something to be celebrated is idiotic.
Immovable deadlines are sometimes unavoidable in our hit driven industry, but crunch is absolutely avoidable.
If a company plans crunch into a project timeline then imo this is planning to abuse their staff.
Hard to believe itβs ten years since we lost Bowie. Absolutely love drawing him.
And his music wasnβt too bad either!
One day I wonβt get jump-scared when I open the bag containing my wifeβs collection of realistic life-size fake human livers while thinking βI wonder whatβs in there?β
Today is not that day.
Also this post by John is exactly why you leave.
because you have impact.
Are you mad today? Elon Musk is supporting ICE and blaming the woman murdered.
Is that what you agree with? No?
Then have an impact today, say no more. Close that account.
Don't look away, but calm down, be angry.
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.
I just picked it up a week ago and would love any tips. Itβs scary how compelling it is
