Artistic mediums aren't leaderboards. You don't have to play it all. You can't play it all anyway. Play what you want to play. Play the old game you already finished three times. Play that thing you were putting on hold for fear of not having enough time to finish it. It's the best way to ENJOY.

As someone who leans too much into "life maximization", I think this way of thinking can poison your love of the medium. I used to force myself to play everything at the start of my career and I'm glad that I caught myself in time as I was burning myself on my passion.

healthy self criticism is perhaps the most important skill to develop as an adult. being able to recognize your own strengths & weaknesses and accepting them humbly. it's amazing how little other people's opinions matter once you've decided to critique yourself openly and honestly.

That he'd be unaware of how loved his work was is hitting me hard. My 4 years old son frequently ask that we play the intro theme or Wily's Castle.

The risk of traveling to the US used to be a delayed flight or lost luggage. Now the risk is to be detained and possibly tortured for weeks. I am a father of 2, I can't make that bet.

you: what are we having for dinner
game designer: great question. i wrote some pillars to help us align on a good outcome here.
you, reading: wait, this pillar is just "food must be edible," that seems pretty vague
game designer: ah, that's where the secondary pillars about Edibility come into play

Live long enough to get lucky. Keep yourself accountable od every failure. Learn, improve and persevere. When a door closes, keep looking for the next one.

Nine Dots survived 2 flops and had been in a precarious situation for 8 years before we launched Outward. Being used to how harsh the market was, I thought that if we sell 250,000 units, then I'll consider this a major success.

This is nuts.

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

If "AI" was as valuable as they say it is, they wouldn't be selling it to you. They'd be using it themselves in secret to make the next Minecraft, the next Avatar, the next Hello Kitty and then they'd sell that to you.

They're trying to sell you a sick goose, while pretending it lays golden eggs.

My feelings are more capricious than that :-P But my alarm now is Chrono Cross' soundtrack, starting with the wonderful Time's Scar

I tried using it as my alarm clock sound for a while but it felt too intense to wake up to.

When all your options are poisonous, can't blame you for choosing to swallow the sweeter one 🙃

That doesn't leave a lot of websites/apps. 💀

We subvert tropes. We tackle complex themes. We don't design by committee. We certainly don't let ChatGPT write for us. Will you color the voice of Nine Dots with your own?

Signed! It isn't even mentioned in the petition but typically when conservative groups attack pornography, the goal is to extend any representation of anything queer as pornographic as the next step. It's something legitimately worrying even beyond how it affects people in the porn business.

You don't have to think that it WILL happen, only that it COULD. It can't happen if you give up. As creators, we are told all the reasons why we are going to fail, over and over again. It makes us doubt ourselves. Seeing the same doubts cast on even the greatest successes is a reassuring balm.

It's my absolute pleasure to present to you our labor of love: Poly Fighter!

We are HeartLoop Games! ♥

Nice project Osama! I wonder if the concept could lend itself well to spice up PvP tournaments as well. Looking forward to seeing how it develops.

Capcom has arguably the best performance out of any video game company in the world. That's not a position from which you're supposed to complain, especially while the industry as a whole is collapsing.

You become more of your best self when someone close to you believes in that version of you.

This is the kind of notion that can radically change a life for the better once you internalize it.

Reading all of Stephen Mitchell's modernized version of Gilgamesh while at a resort, next to a pool and a hot tub.

If the crushing majority of people who use a tool hate that tool, and you need some eldritch knowledge to make it run well and most can't figure it out... then it's a bad tool that very competent people were able to work around.

Jira is worse than any of its competitors that I tried. It's not so much that it's evil, it's just a mess that causes more problems than it solves.

Here's one for all the game devs out there www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

The way Paradox is handling Bloodlines 2 is huh... quite something. The game was selling itself based on nothing but a name. The OG Bloodlines was a budget title with a very limited scope. They just needed to respect the material they are following up on. How much did they waste on this shit, >100M?
