Some folks can manage themselves, stay on target and release that game

And some folks can't. We never see these games

What you don't see are all the projects that never released because they spun out or over-scoped or just didn't finish

You still gotta manage your project, even if you don't have a project manager

The "Acquisition" spell just straight-up buys out an enemy. They're yours now. And with enough persistence, it even works on bosses! Sure it drains all magic from your surroundings, but that sounds like a problem for Future You. #indiedev #indiegame #screenshotsaturday

When money permits, I always try to buy games made by the homies over a key just so I can leave a proper review

(As an FYI, reviews left by redeemed keys do not count towards Steam's review score or algorithm)

I know we aren't mates or anything, but the London lot always spoke real highly of you. I think if the Sony's London studios had kept making original stuff you probably would have gotten here sooner

But then who knows what that timeline looks like

Best Design Tensions of 2025 In sensemaking, Tension generally means that two concepts in conversation with one another may have a natural friction that can be negotiated with an experimentโ€”or in our case: designed around within the bounds of a videogame. That frictional force between two or more aligned concepts is known as โ€˜tensionโ€™. There is tension inherent to any shooter game since the player can solve their problems with a well-aimed button press, thus every shooter will design weapons, armor, sightlines, tracking systems, enemy patterns, etc. that donโ€™t โ€œsolveโ€ this problem but negotiate these tensions inherent to being a game about shooting targets.

Library scientist and Gamesline alumnus Solon (@chorby.org) writes a detailed feature about the game design tensions of 2025!

What is your favorite design tension on Solon's list?

Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI' The latest GDC survey also found that managers are more likely to use generative AI than their employees.

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.

In a bit I'm going to be jumping into Anodyne 2 ahead of this Friday's @thegameclub.bsky.social banter

If you fancy it or just talking about the new Baby Thumbnail Meta, you know where to find me (On that website, Twitch Dot Television)

"The core narrative and gameplay experience remains identical" AdHoc reassures Dispatch players on Switch as it confirms Nintendo platform versions are censored Dispatch is gearing up for its debut on Switch later today, however there will be some censorship differences on Nintendo's consoles.

FYI the Nintendo Switch's eShop is a wasteland of hentai/gooner slop (and parents should not let kids run wild browsing the eShop without guardrails). But the same content standard somehow doesn't apply when sexuality between consenting adult characters is portrayed in the fantastic Dispatch. Cool.

Some folks still mock the Oblivion horse armour

That was $2.50

This in game pet is potentially $158 via gatcha

OH GOOD

I'm not a doomsayer by any means, but I want to be realistic: GDC is a huge risk for an extremely slim chance to get funding or work

@lukeplunkett.com let me voice my concerns and I really appreciate the chance to at very least warn people

I'm reminded of some great advice I was given:

Doomscrolling isn't activism
You cant fight on an empty stomach
And focus on what you can do, not what you cant

Heads up, Pathologic 1 is no joke without some form of guide. It's worth it but your looking at a lot of trail and error (a lot more than Darkwood for example)

Two has some difficulty sliders
