2. Sliding. John Haggerty did an initial implementation and after some early playtests we were like "How did we ever play the game without this!?"

I wasn't asked specifically but two things sprung to mind for me:

1. The first proof of concept for what would become "Effect and Cause". Jake Keating showed a demo early on and everyone was like "this is awesome we should make it". Quite a few of the sequences made it to the shipping version!

Panel 1

August and Gustopher are walking home from the store with groceries. a carton of eggs has fallen out of the grocery bag and is sitting on the ground.

Gustopher: AH! Dad, I tripped and dropped the eggs.

Panel 2

This moment is making August remember a similar event when he was younger. He has a memory of tripping and dropping eggs.

Gustopher: I'm sorry.

Panel 3

August remembers the reaction from adults who were there in the moment and how it made him feel. He remembers the immediate guilt and inability to articulate an apology.

Memory of an Unseen Adult: WHAT DID YOU DO!?

Memory of August: I- I'm so- So-so-sor-

Memory of an Unseen Adult: Sorry doesn't fix it. Clean it up!

Gustopher: Dad?

Panel 4

August kneels down to check on Gustopher.

August: It's okay. It was an accident. Are you hurt?

Gustopher: I'm fine.

August: That's good. Let's clean this.

My Cantonese is kinda terrible so I wasn't sure myself either but I did hear people confirm it. Then again I also heard some people say the singer's Cantonese accent doesn't seem right, or at least it sounds like she isn't from HK?

I think it will, we'll probably see less lootboxes across all games. I also bet that we're about to see some Chinese lawmakers apply some retalitory penalty on some US games or products too as this kind of stuff happens more.

Genshin Impact Game Developer Will be Banned from Selling Lootboxes to Teens Under 16 without Parental Consent, Pay a $20 Million Fine to Settle FTC Charges The maker of the video game Genshin Impact has agreed to pay $20 million and to block children under 16 from making in-game purchases without parental consent to settle Federal Trade Commission all

Feels like it may be targeted at a Chinese company in particular but I'm sure this will have real impact on lootboxes in general

I get that :) Honestly seems like an uphill battle to try and pitch a female character that isn't conventionally attractive, worse still if they are literally an archetypical old hag. I wish that wasn't the case though :(

Panel 1: I may be scared of 2025.
A person clenches a ruined comic in their hands with tears streaming down their cheeks.

Panel 2: But 2025 should be scared of me too.
Same person looks determinedly into the camera, preparing to draw anyway.

I am not always very attached to being alive Chronic, passive suicidal ideation is like living in the ocean. Letโ€™s start talking about how to tread water.

[Discussion of ideation]

This has been part of my life for a very long time. I've also got a wonderful partner and girlfriend and a small but very real community. I do work I'm proud of. I am myself.

If this is your reality too, please know you're not broken or doomed. And you're not alone.

Hey just a heads up that Iโ€™m looking for a job. Iโ€™ve done technical design work on apex legends, astroneer, and shipped a couple of my own games.

I know itโ€™s crazy rough out there for everyone right now. Iโ€™d love to keep working in games but Iโ€™m starting to realistically wonder if a pivot is needed
