It's almost time for #evojapan2025!

If you're attending the event, stop by our booth and give the latest build of #nightmareoperator a try!

We're very interested in getting feedback from the FGC in regards to how we've integrated fighting game mechanics into NIGHTMARE OPERATOR.

The current record for clearing the Kuchisake-Jyoshi encounter is 45 seconds, come see if you can beat it at #EVOJapan2025!

We'll be exhibiting #nightmareoperator's latest demo at the event.

Fellow Unity devs, what's your preferred solution of UI with the engine? Have you ever shipped a game with UI Toolkit? Do you have a preference for a third-party option?

As a publisher, few things make me happier than putting together a project like this. Giving the devs a huge, premium quality celebration of their work, all while making it easy, and letting them continue developing uninterrupted.

And for the fans, new insights, untold stories, beautiful art!

I finished Metaphor.

I think it is the best game that team has ever made. It’s actually crazy how there are zero misses on the cast. One of the greatest RPG parties of all time, if not the greatest.

Metaphor is prescient about the post-release near future in the same eerie way that Death Stranding was disturbingly prescient about the COVID-19 panic. Metaphor feels like a response to 2025, not a game that came out the year before.

Just want to note that generally I am not seeing people saying that violence/violent resistance is never justified or never works. What I’m seeing—and what is inarguably just good basic opsec—is “don’t fucking fedpost, you stupid shitheads”

Okay lets game this out: You are a Nintendo employee given unlimited funds and authority to move Switch 2 production to the US. No new factories, that's going to take way too long, you need to work with existing American Contract Manufacturing capacity. How fast can you do it?

“Shame on you,” said Microsoft employee Ibtihal Aboussad, speaking directly to Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman. “You are a war profiteer. Stop using AI for genocide. Stop using AI for genocide in our region. You have blood on your hands. All of Microsoft has blood on its hands.”

I’m left with a certain sinking feeling that says if the Nintendo delay picks up steam and points a lot of new fingers at Trump, the administration will vindictively start picking apart the whole industry under the guise of “video game violence is destroying the youth” or some such shit.

I've been preaching the good word of Kirby's Air Ride for literally over 2/3rds of my life. I cannot believe Air Ride 2 is real.

That Bloodborne bait and switch will haunt me until my dying day...

Good talk at the game career seminar about working as a foreigner in Japan - I asked them to be honest about salaries in tokyo, and they did it! Including some cost of living comparison

The government is about to give OpenAI the ability to legally steal if we do not flood this page in the next 12 hours.

OpenAI will have immunity from all lawsuits regarding copyright infringement. All other AI companies will follow.

Do you despise AI? Dissent, retweet. Do something. #furry #art

BTW if you need another reason to follow this team and their game Nightmare Operator: I'm executive producer on it. I've been working with them on the side for over a year, helping to focus the story, hone the vibes, and crunch the mechanics.

This is extremely important to understand. There is no such thing as “0 funding” for a project of any size.

a breakthrough for me as a designer was the realization that games are in fact a complex neuro-chemical reward schedule. when designing a game youre deciding what chemicals are going to be released in someone's brain, at what time

this has ethical implications, and should be regarded carefully
