Thanks for the thread on this!

Take a look at DIDDY KONG RACING with my friend, the legendary composer, @davidwise.bsky.social

An indoor scene full of people and colorful screens showing video games

Enjoyed #DayoftheDevs, just an amazing show year after year

More and more people are saying it: Minishoot’ Adventures

Spare a thought for your local bluesky gamedev during GDC

I used to work in adtech and we tried to ingratiate ourselves in ways that were clearly bought and this has that vibe

Who the heck is “Xsolla” and why are they everywhere

If you feel like celebrating with us. The game is 60% off now by the way 🫣

Day of the Devs, who’s going

Yes

Nice! Safe trip!

Folks this comes out on Monday - I’m hoping there’ll be a way to get people together to play at GDC. Game looks cool as heck

Is there a good list of studios who will be at GDC in some capacity?

Feels like GDC is just barreling towards us, and also every week after that is barreling towards us. Time is barreling, in general

Given what computers have done to us I think this guy was in the right here

I’m still reeling from the fact that I didn’t buy the Taiko no Tatsujin stickers theu had when I went

SONOKUNI on Steam Battle your way through a biopunk and Japanese mythology-inspired landscape filled with over-the-top, hip hop-infused 2D action. A single hit means death, but use your time-bending skills to take down...

Sonokuni - this one actually came out last year but I just checked out the demo and it’s got a great style and tight room based combat (sort of structured like Hotline Miami moment to moment). When I have a little more time (maybe on my flight to China?) I’ll be picking it up for good!

Lord forgive me, I have posted about going to GDC on linkedin

*wife scrambling to hide my credit cards as i begin to scour ebay*

It’s different and smaller scale maybe but I really liked As Long As You’re Here…it tells a smaller story but does so beautifully.

Good lord these are nice

That’s a heck of a lineup, I’m booking my spots now! Thanks for sharing!

Nagoshi's Gang of Dragon May Never Come Out After NetEase Cut Funding When It Realized an Extra $44M Was Needed to Finish the Game - IGN Yakuza creator Toshihiro Nagoshi’s new game is now in doubt after investor NetEase warned the studio that it plans to cut off funding.

Man

These cups are worth the microplastic imo

Good god what a lineup

The world can’t get enough Bio FREAKS!!!

This sounds a lot like 2026 but it _also_ has cool fonts. Almost an upgrade at that point!
