I left little critiques on lots of game trailers so here's a thread with the most common issues (and additional reading) ๐Ÿงต

1. Don't put logos at the start. It's just dead air that could be gameplay, which is 100000000X more interesting.

Literally sitting building it now! It will look fantastic when it's done. The lighting inside and on the controller is cool. But damn the blocks can be *really* hard to snap together. I had to stop last night because it was destroying my fingers. The chasm between Lego and everyone else is wide.

Yes. It's made of about maybe 15 pieces. The artwork is screen printed, not a sticker. It opens up and there is a disk inside. You can put the disk in the drive.

Thanks. It was a difficult start. A lot of "What could the old man know if he's starting now?" energy for the first few weeks. The first projects were submitted and they realised 20+ years in software design, development and management actually counted for something even though it wasn't games ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Today my Bachelor of Game Design was certified complete. Going back to University at 47 was nerve wracking. Rediscovering my passion & creativity was more fulfilling than I could have imagined.Couldn't have done it without my ridiculously supportive wife โ™ฅ๏ธ Just wanted that out in the world #gamedev

a cartoon says ladies and gentlemen this is chewbacca on the bottom right Alt: A clip from South Park showing a Defense lawyer trying to distract a jury with nonsensical ramblings about Chewbacca the wookie.

They slapped the Star Wars moniker on it to try and make it palatable. I'm surprised they didn't end with The Chewbacca Defense to distract from the creative bankruptcy.

Nearly 40 years later I can still clearly remember running home from school to make sure I didn't miss the incredibly catchy theme song and occasional sing-along with Philip Schofield from the broom cupboard.

Last night I was asked to reshare a talk I did back in 2017, which didn't get filmed the many times I gave it.

Let's do it as a thread. I've not done an informational thread on here before, interested to see how folks like it.

(forgive obvious stuff, it was ever so slightly fresher 8 years ago)

I'm a big #TRON and Legacy fan. Legacy in 3D is ๐Ÿ”ฅ Really looking forward to Ares (and the upcoming #TRONCatalyst by @bithellgames.bsky.social ! ) but damn if that one shot in the trailer doesnt smack of that one shot from Morbius.

Someone is promoting their game on Steam using our assets, along with assets from other titles.

We've reported it to Valve, but could use your help!

I know Xbox doesn't have the foothold in Japan it deserves, but the import market must also exist for 3D blurays to support them being produced in Japan/EU. It guess it was mostly a wish fulfilment question, but with genuine undertones.
