This is super sad, and unfortunately now becoming more common for games to just cancel with little production left. All that time and effort, vanished.

Oh awesome thanks matey!!

Re downloaded this app to see if I can gel with it. Who should I be following? What's good?

With only one week before EMPIRE, here is my latest Hots and Nots from E1 2025 ❤️ sorry it's late!

✨Link to my YT in bio✨

My son works for this company here in the U.K.

It was playing the video game ‘Deus Ex’ that set him on the path to becoming a Biomechanical Engineer.

Sometimes, it’s nice to highlight the good things that video games can do. And also remind myself just how proud of him I am.

5. Bye Sweet Carole by Little Sewing Machine & Meangrip Studios (Release 2025)

4. Yes, your Grace: Snowfall by @braveatnight.bsky.social (Release May 2025)
The sequel to Yes, your Grace where your choices have consequences to you, your family and your kingdom

3. @paralives.com by Alex Masse (Release 2025)

One of my favourite subgenre of games is 'cosy gaming'. Here are the ones I'm personally excited for this year:

1. Tavern Keeper by @greenheartgames.bsky.social (Release 2025)
A Tavern building simulator with a fun, quippy style.

In between BG3's final patch and a potential Oblivion remaster, you might never see me again

A story in 4 parts

🕊️Hello Thirty🕊️

SIIIIICCCCKKKKK. Huge congrats!

I've done this for two years and loved it! Sadly I can't mentor this year, but I highly encourage people to apply to mentor - especially folks in narrative!!

Happy Empire month!!! I'm excited to return to Anvil soon ✨

Uh.... WHAT?

Happy Monday to my last week of my 20's 🫠

The Elixers and Brews build in the Sims 4 always irked me so I finally got around to doing a quick update using some of the occult packs and Cottage Living

Is anybody else watching MAFSAU? Some of the most unhinged reality TV I've seen in a while.

She pulls down the pillows on the sofa so she can rest her little head and I'm just ASDDGHHJVVFDFFFFF

I just really love my dog, like a crazy amount.

Is this like the new Myers Briggs of RPG romance? In which case I'm an Alistair(DAO)/Garrus (ME)/Cullen(DAI)/Gale(BG3)

I'm thinking I need to make a video on how to survive winter LARP... It's not for the weak 😭

Jumping on the train... Hey, I'm Rhianne. Narrative designer currently at Square Enix. Been in game Dev for over 8 years and still surviving #WhatAGameDevLooksLike

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMANS DAY

Just uploaded a new episode of Dev Talk and Tea where I talk about my experiences with burnout. Bit different than my usual stuff but I feel it's important right now.

This week, I've been at [REDACTED] working on [REDACTED] and it's just been super fun! I can't wait to share more at some point...

This may also be exacerbated by a reliance on AI to develop too... A lack of training junior talent now means there could be a generation of game developers who may not know and understand the practices of making games (both good and bad). What impact will this have for games? 👀
