My body is a machine that turns thousands of hours of game development into

Valve didn't send payment this month to Skunkape Interactive because the balance due doesn't meet the minimum payment threshold of $100 USD"

I hope my game randomly blows up so I can start giving off base advice like it's gospel

True, but that said with PVP there is still only one winner

Gaming culture seems to be shifting more towards PVPVE or general CO-OP play when it comes to multiplayer

There will always be a space for strictly versus multiplayer, but games like ARC Raiders or PEAK seem to be what players want now

HIGHGUARD might have done okay if it had CO-OP/Singleplayer

Gamers are tired of competing online with people who spend all day optimizing the fun out
(Why "friendslop" is doing so well rn)

If you're a #gamedev making a multiplayer game...
Might help to add in a non PVP mode

Making placeholder melee animations

We're testing a Smash Bros style approach where short inputs do specific moves

Instead of long pre-set button sequences for combo/super moves you just make up your own combos

Hardest part is balancing with the FPS bits...

Captain McSpacebiff Christmas Card

Big font that says "Merry Christmas"

A bot is awkwardly sitting on McSpacebiff's Knee (McSpacebiff is wearing a Santa hat) 

The rest of the game's enemy roster is haphazardly placing ornaments and presents on and under the Christmas tree in the background

The two of us are taking a couple days off of gamedev to enjoy the Holidays with Friends and Family

But before that we just wanted to say thanks for an amazing 2025 everyone

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
