When you visit, make sure to check out other places aside from San Francisco & Los Angeles!

Sunny San Diego has some great beaches, and Solvang has a very cozy little town-feel with insanely good pastries.

If your game uses AI art, the value of your game is less, and I will never buy a game like that at full price because it is not worth the price.

bonus : here's the timelapse of that drawing

Yooka Laylee art I made to complete the puzzle piece Playtonic sent ^^ I loved making this

Right now, the US isn't as bad as the media says it is in terms of LIVING here... However, it is the worst its been in a long time.

I can't relate to game creativeness since I'm still a total noob, but my music friends are the most creative and chill people I've ever met.

I'm almost ready to jump back into game dev for my game 'Beat to Death'...
....Except I'm like 5 video game compositions behind before I can tackle gam dev again... 😅

@daleykong.bsky.social Good morning from the American west coast! Hope you've been enjoying our timezone in the UK!

Not really. The other reviews are saying its an 8/10, and the media surrounding the game has been mostly positive aside from the discount issues.

IGN is the only one who get the game a mixed score because the review was very poorly writted.

This review makes zero sense, and you've lost so much respect from me.
Your previous review in 2016 gave the game a 7/10. Now, this review even acknowledges the improvements, and gave the review a 5/10.
Meanwhile, other reviews are giving the game consistent 8/10's.

I'm blocking your website lol

Oh and @grantkirkhope.bsky.social but that's beside the point.

Come down to California! We have...

HE MR GAY

I am excited and relieved to say I am no longer looking for work!

Very firmly staying in community management, now adjacent to the games industry instead of directly in it 🫡

I gave Cassette Beasts a good try and fairly liked it! Its very well designed. :)

Overall, yeah my anger is towards Pokemon, but supporting Palworld for me is realistically supporting any game that wants to still tap into the creature-collecting genre overall.

I've told other Pokrmon fans that they NEED to support Palworld in the current lawsuit, because supporting Palworld will actually HELP Pokemon games be better. TPC has stood as the goliath in their own genre for 2 decades too long and need actual competition to improve.

I grew up with Pokemon as some of my earliest memories, encouraging me to be creative and to create my own little adventures with a simple gameboy.

Now The Pokemon Company stands as complete enemy of creativity - discouraging complete innovation just so then TPC can make a few extra bucks.

Pokemon fans need to actually support Palworld - who absolutely needs to 100% CRUSH Nintendo in this lawsuit. Pokemon fans deserve much much much better games and encouraging competition will force The Pokemon Company to make somewhat decent or "acceptable" games, unlike the disaster that S/V was.

The Pokemon Company absolutely refuses to do anything but to take a leap into technically fixing & massively improving their games. Instead, they'd rather sue their competitors so that they can own the market.

I grew up loving Pokemon, but they're such a PoS company that stiffles creativity.

I’m celebrating the slow death of video length limitations on all
platforms by uploading 2 minute videos. Please enjoy this important educational song about media literacy.

Had lots of fun doing LOUD TRAILER versions of Mr Kirkhope's Yooka themes for this. Also very handy that we have Chris Suth around, always delivers!🔊🎵

Things haven't been the same honestly without just one of you here... Let alone both of you. 😅

I was kind of in a bit of a slum last week with Playtonic, the lowest I've been. I'm back at it today with a release date finally though... But it was a struggle for a little bit.

@daleykong.bsky.social I wish I made this gif while you were the Communication Manager at Playtonic, but I made it more recently.

This game is high on my wishlist on Steam. I've seen my brother play it and it looks incredible

Oh boy... It was announcement for an announcement. And the $50 pre-order price tag... That's quite rough... 🙃

Once Replaylee is out, please let us know what you worked on!! And I'm SUPER excited to see what the next big thing you're at is soon here!!
