The Hades franchise has been everything I couldโ€™ve wished for since 2020.

I always wanted to thank Supergiant Games with a fanart, but I was always short onโ€ฆ time?

Maybe now, time wonโ€™t be such a troublesome thing for me anymore.

Death to Chronos!

Working on this game has been suuchhh a labour of love from every single dev on the team and they've done a phenomenal job with it! ๐Ÿ‘

It's always a miracle when any game ships. I'm so proud and can't wait for this one to get into people's hands! ๐Ÿคฉ

fanart of Medea from Hades 2, but wearing modern clothes (tiny leather shorts with double belt, red/purple leather crop top), a nose ring, necklaces, also big tattoo covering the entire left arm (a snake, a moon crescent, flowers and leaves)
She's sitting, resting on her left hand, her right hand next to her face, conjuring some plague magic that bathes her in green light

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, thatโ€™s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed

student: oh so thatโ€™s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

30s feel like adult life truly begins, but don't lose that whimsy at heart. get a hobby. stretch often. make time for yourself.

here's my take: I think humans are really fucking good. inherently. I think we are amazingly kind and giving. and everything about the world we live in is an attempt to stop us from being that. I think our societies step in to stop us from being good. I think our culture punishes us. but we ARE good

Hey Bluesky! I figured it would be a good time to show off the game I've been working on for a little while.

Introducing TaleKeep, a peasant-hopping castle simulation RPG set in a storybook medieval world.

Netflix wants to pay someone half a million dollars a year to be "director of genAI for games".

Your first Unity tutorial project makes you overqualified.

Any company who've done layoffs within the last 2-5 years should be exempt from nominations imho

Behaviour Intaractive did layoffs in April.
NaturalMotion did layoffs in October
Rare did layoffs in July

Best places to work.

AI in my work life means that at the snap of a finger, someone can generate a page of text I'll be expected to sift through to find any value. That is the opposite of value creation. You're pushing more less valuable things to me faster.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE.

If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease!

Blegh, very tired of this take

The problem is not too many games. Not everyone needs to play every game. Not every game SHOULD need to make a huge sales splash. There is a problem with getting games to their audiences. It's a curation, literacy, storefront, scope, and legacy games culture problem.
