Remember kids:
- Discord is not a place for storing game dev/project materials
- You (probably) don't need Jira
- Your internal deadlines should be BEFORE their final due date
- Don't put up with stuff; speak up
- If someone can't speak up, speak up for them
- Stay a little silly but take no shit

Consume Me on Steam did you feel stupid, fat, lazy, and ugly in high school? well i did...but at least i made a life-simulation RPG about it!

Consume Me is finally out! This game blew me away when I looked at it for IGF. It deals with the real pressures of growing up as a teenage girl while telling that story through a whirlwind of delightful QWOP-like minigames. Itโ€™s charming and fun and smart and I hope everyone checks it out.

Now that Silksong has chased off a ton of devs from releasing their games from the next two weeks...

Who's releasing a game/demo in the next few weeks that I should check out?

My schedule is looking pretty empty and I don't want my only option to be Silksong (even if it's as good as it looks).

I wish I knew where on the spectrum of:

"ppl feel helpless and are taking it out on anyone within reach, usually the people with the least power"

to

"ppl have become so customer-brained that they treat anyone/anything that seems "bigger" than them as the enemy"

that this hostility comes from.

A meme of Captain Picard from TNG pointing to something. The caption says "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose your job in gaming. That is not weakness; that is this bullshit industry
