Iโ€™m just waiting until it is off sale to give you maximum dollars.
Also I donโ€™t buy games in early access as a rule but am making an exception.

The only way the United States ends up with any games industry at all in the next 5 years is if American investors stand up and fund indies working to do things differently.

Indies doing right by their teams.

Employee-owned co-ops. Democratic studios. Mutual aid indie groups.

They need support.

We made a game! I think it's a pretty good game! You can buy it now, for less than a Hamilton! Or wishlist it for later! Both of those things help! And after you've played it, would you be a dear and leave a review?

All Will Rise: a narrative courtroom deck-builder A game about taking a billionaire to court for the murder of a river.

14 years ago we accidentally hired a genius to write the script for 80 Days. Now sheโ€™s narrative director on a deck-builder about billionaire busting.

Check out All Will Rise:

I feel like everything getting more expensive includes developers and tools and asset store stuff.
I also feel like Unity and Unreal haven't kept dev cost down as expected quality and scope have increased.
So more time to ship a game, more expertise needed, and both cost more in salary.

Yup. Pear pistachio and brie. The brie was too mild. Needed something with some funk. Or some honey for sweet. But still good.

Relooted is a great game that is getting review bombed by the worst people for tiresomely obvious reasons. You should take up this offer!

Every time winter Olympics comes around I am forced to one inescapable conclusion.
There should be a place near where I live that will let me and some friends try curling while drinking beer and eating good poutine.

Ten years ago today we shipped Firewatch. I say this every anniversary but it feels both like a lifetime ago and like it was yesterday. Thank you everyone who played it back then or played it today for the first time. Thank you to everyone on the team, Iโ€™m still so proud of what we made.

If you look into his history he was WAY ahead of the curve on many things. Desktop publishing, anime, roleplaying games, etc. He's also definitely not the only legendary RPG designer with extensive video game experience, but he has a long history there too, predating Cyberpunk 2077 by decades

If you donโ€™t trust your employees then fire them. Otherwise let them work and try to set up best practices and testing to help them not break stuff.

I may delete this because itโ€™s a bit spicy but it shouldnโ€™t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who donโ€™t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers arenโ€™t?

Bio Bruno Dias is a game designer and writer. Previous credits include Where the Water Tastes Like Wine, Neo Cab, and Pathologic 2.

I'm still looking for full-time or contract work โ€“ I'm a narrative design generalist with credits on multiple shipped titles. I focus on taming the complexity of narrative systems, writing prose, and leading narrative teams.

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday.

It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

#GGJ26 jammers! I am preparing a presentation about Git, centered around conflicts and how to avoid or solve them, with a focus on game jams.
