as miyamoto once said "A studio that delays a game is eventually laid off, a studio that releases a game is laid off immediately"
It’s time to go back to prom Mighty No 9 Ten Years Later. So much has happened with that game, its characters, its creator Keiji Inafune, his company Comcept, and the company he left, Capcom Watch with your pets! RT’s appreciated! youtu.be/UlhB7RQZdOU
Here's a link to Code Rapid's Kickstarter campaign, the mecha game Pineapple plays in this video, I had a look and one of their commitments with developing this is no AI, which is great to see. Maybe it's not too late to get this start kicked?

The more you explore the history of anime, manga, Japanese games history, the more you are confronted with the fact that MANY of the forms’ most potent innovations sprang out of and could not have existed without pornography. It’s integral to and inextricable from these histories

cis people today have been talking a lot of shit for people who are all going to every religion's hell at once when they die.
Well, fuck. If you don’t know, Mike Z has a very public history of sexual harassment, racist remarks, and more. Unless someone’s new to the FGC, everyone in the scene knows this. GGI is made up of old FGC heads. This is like intentionally having Bobby Kotick on your board of directors in 2026.
Game Developer@gamedeveloper.bsky.social · 3w agoParamount confirms Mike Zaimont is employed by Avatar Legends dev
Just throwing it out there since no one on the dev team seems to want to say one way or the other, it seems that Mike Z is still attached to the Avatar fighting game in some way, at least based on these screenshots I took from their official Discord server
Hey y'all, I wanted give people a heads-up that Mike Z is still working on the Avatar Legends dev team, for anyone who wanted to know before deciding whether to buy/support the game. (If you don't know who that is or need a refresher, here's the Kotaku article: kotaku.com/workers-leav...)

I think I've come to terms with the fact that no big game announcement will ever hit me as hard as the xrd reveal trailer. Seeing it for the first time was pure magic youtu.be/urUM2Ne_vTw?...

FWIW I think it's a little strange that "Arkane's Blade is late and over budget" is becoming a lingering news story when the total number of big video games that were *not* late and over budget could be counted on one hand
One thing I think about every GDQ is how simultaneously queer and wildly successful it is and how hard they fought to make the community inclusive and not capitulate to shitheads. Makes me feel like good things are possible
Since apparently this isn't making it beyond UK news yet, Rockstar petitioned a British court to section an 18 year old autistic kid under the mental health act for hacking their server and leaking a short GTA 6 clip a couple of years ago. No trial, no term of sentence, just locked up in hospital.

Judge says hacker remains a high risk through his skills and motivation to carry out cyber-crime.

Winter@kernowshark.bsky.social · last mo.Locking up an autistic kid in a mental hospital for life for leaking a clip of a game is bullshit. Guess I'm never playing a Rockstar game again.

It seems like it was lost in the news over the weekend even though it was announced on the EVO stage but: EVO Singapore has absorbed the TWT Finals, and they take place in the same weekend/venue. I would guess this is their goal for all the tours eventually.
Absolute bullshit, dear god.
Wario64@wario64.bsky.social · last mo.The Verge: MS currently weighing closing at least five studios including Arkane Studio (Blade) and exploring options to sell Arkane Studio Xbox layoffs reportedly starting July 6th. "the layoffs will lead to studio closures or spinoffs, potential mergers of studios, and canceled games."
After playing the entire 13 trilogy and especially Lightning Returns I am fully on team "Lightning actually rocks and none of yall had taste." Get you a MC who has perfect parries and a slutty barcode tattoo on her thigh who can and WILL beat your ass
