The Messages Rockstar Saw Before Firing 34 Union Members
YouTube video by People Make Games The Messages Rockstar Saw Before Firing 34 Union Members

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".

PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

The Rockstar Workers Fired Before They Could Finish GTA 6
YouTube video by People Make Games The Rockstar Workers Fired Before They Could Finish GTA 6

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.

That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

I have always wondered why the Wii U and not Wii 2 though. The marketing "Wii 2 would like to play" was right there, and would totally avoid any confusion about the gamepad being a Wii addon...

There's something very satisfying about nailing a long glide from a later section of a level, and landing above an earlier part... Ofc that skill must be rewarded! ๐Ÿฆ‡

Nothing in Flit N Flutter is safe from easter eggs... 1% chance of getting *that* version of the line here.
Shoutouts @dylanjayfox.bsky.social for recording this take as a joke... but it's canon now. ๐Ÿฅ

Screwed up the UV mapping on the bottom left hand side of the pavement though, rookie mistake.

Thank you!
If it's already evoking that feeling in people, I think that's a very good sign!

So often feels like big outlets don't have anyone on staff that actually likes 3D platformers, so they all get snubbed.

I just wish they didn't still hold so much weight with the general public :/

Besides the obvious.... Muppet Monster Adventure! The idea of classic Universal monsters mixed with The Muppets is genius (and was almost a movie), throw in 3D platforming and I'm totally sold!

Is it a bunch of extra work to make all friendly NPCs react to Flit's attacks? Yes.
Am I doing it anyway because funny?... Also yes.
(Again, ignore the placeholder Spyro music I'm jammin to)

Ten More Platformers To Look Forward To

Thought I'd do a part 2 and go through more upcoming, cool-looking platformers!

Got some games from @dinosaurbytes.bsky.social @playtonicgames.com @karatkuro.bsky.social @billiebustup.com and a bunch more.

Dare me to do a part 3.

A few neat additions to help Flit feel more grounded as you explore levels!
Her wings bend if they collide with walls, she'll also push against a wall if you run into it and will now reorient to match the slop of a standable incline!
(Again ignore the AE music I'm jamming to...)

Be honest, if you found out that platypuses came from another planet, would you even be surprised? ๐Ÿฆ‡

One of my favourite 3D platformer design features is when a level loops round on itself to let you explore from another perspective ๐Ÿฆ‡

Far too early to talk about platforms tbh. My last game came to Switch though, so there's always a possibility!

Maybe once or twice (a month).

The "grounded" feeling of it is a big part of why it's still my favourite Mario game. Very little in the way of random floating shapes or abstract level design (outside of the self-contained FLUDDless bits). I love that kinda stuff, when the world is built to make the platforming geo blend in!
