i’ve been playing Battlefield 6 and couldn’t separate its love of destruction from the carnage I see out of Gaza every day

I don't know what I am looking at exactly, but I love the design of the background.

Proper wayfinding in games feels underused. Just played the Map Map demo by @pipapogames.bsky.social and it was lotsa fun! Besides Miasmata, I can't think of any games that put wayfinding (without player position on a map) central to the experience. Curious if many people enjoy this as much as I do?

That looks great!
And I’m happy that the Notion dashboards I keep making when working on projects looks kinda similar. :)

It’s so nice to hear you’re happy.
And yes, having someone to work with, someone that was motivated to put time and love into the project over multiple years is awesome.
Congratulations to both of you! Must be an extra nice Christmas time (or Hannukkah or Kwanzaa or whatever). Enjoy yourselves!πŸŽ„πŸŽ…πŸ»πŸ₯™β€οΈ

It’s admirable that you made it here, and you can be really proud of yourself Richard!

This all sounds so positive and nice! I’m happy for you. Also, language is a beautiful thing, and so is enjoying experimenting with things. Keep it up!

Save 10% on 30 Birds on Steam Lantern City is on the verge of disaster: the Goddess Simurgh has been kidnapped by the evil Scientist! 30 Birds is a narrative puzzle game laid out on the surface of rotating lanterns. Wander through...

I had the pleasure of working on it - starting as a coach, later as a producer - and it’s been such a joy to work with this amazing team. Congratulations to them!

Do yourself a favor and check out this beautiful game!

I have no idea what that is. Is it a cooperative worm? Cowo RM? Is it an abbreviation? Whatever it is, I’m gonna look it up now. Perhaps even buy it, if it’s a nice product.

I haven’t seen a post from you in a while, glad to see something from you again here!
However, it seems I missed some things. Are you doing paid promotions now?
