For what it's worth, I understood your anchor genre at the 6 seconds mark, when you show the arrangement of buildings. I think you did a good job with this trailer

Post from Matt Turnbull: These are really challenging times, and if you’re navigating a layoff or even quietly preparing for one, you’re not alone and you don’t have to go it alone. I know these types of tools engender strong feelings in people, but I'd be remiss in not trying to offer the best advice I can under the circumstances. I’ve been experimenting with ways to use LLM AI tools (like ChatGPT or Copilot) to help reduce the emotional and cognitive load that comes with job loss. Here are some prompt ideas and use cases that might help if you're feeling overwhelmed: Career Planning Prompts: “Act as a career coach. I’ve been laid off from a [role] in the game industry. Help me build a 30-day plan to regroup, research new roles, and start applying without burning out.” “What kinds of game industry jobs could I pivot to with experience in [Production/Narrative/LiveOps/etc.]?” Resume & LinkedIn Help “Here’s my current resume. Give me three tailored versions: one for AAA, one for platform/publishing roles, and one for startup/small studio leadership.” “Rewrite this resume bullet to highlight impact and metrics.” “Draft a new LinkedIn ‘About Me’ section that focuses on my leadership style, shipped titles, and vision for game development.” Networking & Outreach “Draft a friendly message I can send to old coworkers letting them know I’m exploring new opportunities.” “Write a warm intro message for reaching out to someone at [studio name] about a job posting.” Emotional Clarity & Confidence “I’m struggling with imposter syndrome after being laid off. Can you help me reframe this experience in a way that reminds me what I’m good at?” No AI tool is a replacement for your voice or your lived experience. But at a time when mental energy is scarce, these tools can help get you unstuck faster, calmer, and with more clarity. If this helps, feel free to share with others in your network. Stay kind, stay smart, stay connected.

Matt Turnbull, Executive Producer at Xbox Game Studios Publishing - after the Microsoft layoffs - suggesting on Linkedin that may maybe people who have been let go should turn to AI for help. He seriously thought posting this would be a good idea.

Glad to hear it! Game Jams can be super inspiring ^^
Can't wait to see what you can share next.
My game is going pretty well, but it still has a long way to go :D

2 weeks in, and the inventory is working - making an MVP with NekoCafeAssetPack before using my own #pixelart

Should I have let the garbage bag stack on top of the food in the player's hands?

Very kind! What about your restaurant sim - any updates to share? I hope we will be able to serve lobscows and rarebit :D

Two characters are having a conversation in a tattoo parlour. The owner, Jinx, is a 19 year-old female with lilac hair. Opposite is the player character, with dark hair, blue eyes, and red headphones around his neck. Jinx asks "You're a composer? In this economy?"

Game is not yet announced; I can't share the title! Apologies!
If the plan was to share a store page link, the best I can do is our Discord: discord.gg/ZYRp9TUBav

It's a job/life management sim about becoming a composer.
Thank you!

This is very cool!
Do you know if you'll do it again in future?

Awesome! I purchased last night - thanks for running such a good deal!

Heads-up; I think the link in this post is broken!

The #AirCon25 schedule is here! 63 free audio-production-for-media livestreams from 102 audio professionals: taking place from June 7th at airwiggles.com/aircon!

It's been a real mission getting it all together :) If you're into #gameaudio, #audiopost then do stop by Airwiggles and tune in! 🙂

Maybe I'm just punchdrunk after seeing so many fantastic games media outlets get gutted and closed down, but IGN going out of its way to promote an AI game from a YouTuber with cut-and-paste press release text just sickens me. Just layer upon layer of slop content, all the way down.

Needed some placeholder text for the loading screen while I decide what to put there... But feeling tempted to just leave it like that now! :D

It’s a beautiful day…to back our game on Kickstarter!!!! 🌞
The team and I worked super hard on this project so we’d love to get it funded.

I did the artwork for the wonderful little cat wizard, Yore! ✨

Please check it out here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/eks...

#cozygame #gameart #gamedev

A flat, colorful print that reads "Avert Catastrophe! Home is where your cat should be"

Avert Catastrophe jumbo postcard prints are back in stock!

Really interesting, thank you for sharing!
Any clues as to why Apple is so big?

This week, I've been porting the new localised update for Lucy Dreaming! I finally got around to the PS4 port too! So. Many. Store. Screenshots! #indiedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamedev

yes it's great!

Nebulus might have been my first favourite game! Realm of the Robots was very difficult for a 4-5 year old!
This looks excellent 🔥

These Hearts, Who Once Held Up the Sky by Rob Haines We find each other on the road towards the failing Span. The sky is still golden here, every star, every path and confluence a part of the greater whole. We each recall, together and apart, when ou…

I'm very excited that my short story These Hearts, Who Once Held Up the Sky - on burnout, managed collapse and walking the road to recovery together - is now available at @factorfourmagazine.com ❤️‍🔥

I think the game itself completely dictates how we are able to talk about it. It kinda feels like choosing to make a marketable game is actually the first step of marketing ^^
