Babe wake up, Derek Guy noticed Canada.

(The Supreme Court revealed their new, modern robes yesterday.)

Something I didn't mention in my story yesterday: one of the reasons that Team Cherry had such an enjoyable time making Silksong is that it's 2D. Nice and flat. Don't have to worry about 3D art pipelines.

In other words, all video games should be 2D

Much love to @evolvepr.bsky.social @evolvetom.bsky.social & Candace. Everyday these two choose kindness as the first reason for running a company + uplifting dev teams around the 🌎.

They buck trends to see the humanity in their staff; the industry should know there's no better, no kinder team.

It's so hard to say, I almost chose to stay silent, but I'm leaving @evolvepr.bsky.social & #gamedev next week.

I'm going back to 🍁Canadian politics. My ink's not dry yet--I've a few more things to say.

“Farewells can be shattering, but returns are surely worse." I'll be back in games someday!

Alien: Earth broke tradition with the cat and for that I give it one star

(It's actually very good but still)

I am back on the job hunt.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has reached out and for the support.

This has been brutal, so the kind words, and being able to share this frustration - together - has helped.

I look forward to sharing our plans next week, and making VILE: Exhumed available.

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity.

There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

VILE: Exhumed - certified worth the wait

See a brand new trailer - now

Designed this vintage-style tourism poster for Algonquin Park using a photo of my last trip <3

Who is the Canadian @dieworkwear.bsky.social?

Derek Guy is one of the only educational + compassionate voices on social media talking about a topic I really care about, but all his brand references are American and currently subject to a 25% retaliatory Tariff.

Really like this project by Ari Versluis and Ellie Uyttenbroek. Titled Exactitudes, it's a series of portraits stretching back 20 years that shows how people style themselves to signal they're part of a group and unique individuals within that group.

Not sure how I will do any of the creative work that has defined my career now. Great.

This episode taught me the word tele-dildonics so it's educational to say the least

Another day when I've been told I am "brave" for just existing because someone would "unalive themselves" if they had to deal with what I have to deal with.

If you ever have the urge to say this to someone, don't. It's not the compliment you think it is.

Thirty-three days ago, we released Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

Since then, we’ve sold 3.3 million copies.

Seriously. As of today.
We couldn’t make that up.

Another entry on the long list of surreal moments that your support has made real.

Thank you ALL.

“Especially after update 6 and update 7, the number of people telling us that in their opinion the game is ready for 1.0 — that’s skyrocketed,” Amielanczyk said. “But honestly, we are going to take as much time as we need to make the game worthy of that 1.0 label.”
