disappointing game launch grief.

very real among game devs, rarely public. i’m seeing one unfold publicly now, but don’t wanna draw attention to it. it’s sad. i want to say it’ll be ok, but in truth it won’t.

game design is such an embarrassingly human endeavor. you stumble through iterations, lost in the woods like 20 times even tho this happened on your last game. The real magical games somehow feel like… the result of that process. Something was FOUND after the SEARCHING. So cool. Let’s keep doing it

alright Flash nerds hit us up!!!

I stomp you... you stomp me?! O_O

mobile is in such an unjustifiably terrible place right now. find me a single indie dev that doesn’t have an existing audience and isn’t using a gross business model on mobile to survive. just one! i don’t know any success stories like that over the last few years.

How to design a great Metroidvania map The creators of Hollow Knight describe how they built a complex, interconnected world, from sketches to final game.

Back in 2017 (jfc) I interviewed Team Cherry about how they designed Hollow Knight's map, and got a bunch of sketches and mockups from throughout the game's development to go with it. Bringing it back in anticipation of Silksong!

GenAI texts, music, and art are effortless to gobble up and consume. They need no reflection or interpretation; they are just a nihilist capitalist transaction. They're the perfect tasteless product for tasteless people. They're the perfect fascist entertainment - confirming, never challenging.

As a designer I really enjoy it most to willingly design toys that players can break. I want people to subvert, appropriate, and own the game. I don't want to cater to rule-followers. But that too says more about me as a designer than about games in general.

Hmm.. I’m just so bad at parrying or dodging that most of the side content feels like something I have to return to later.
Like everytime I explore optional areas I either find a Chrometic Boss or mime 🙈

But I do have a lot music tracks for the camp 😅

Apple is delisting Wheels of Aurelia from the App Store, because it's... "obsolete". Our statement:

Yeah! It goes against the way I play games.
I will always explore side areas before I take the main path, but then to be rewarded for that by a Chromatic Boss enemy that you are not strong enough to beat, feels pretty frustrating.

I think the overworld handles it better with the “Danger” signs.

Smukt 👏🚴🎨
