NEW: I spoke with multiple video game developers and a U.S. employment lawyer to learn more about restrictive side clauses that often prevent employees at major companies from pursuing hobbyist work or personal projects. In an industry renowned for creativity, why are we stifling it?

Hey @artsemergency.bsky.social has their call open for mentors again! You get paired with a young person approx. 16-17 and talk to them once a month, it's great and not very much work at all and the organisation is ALWAYS short of mentors who work in games
The response to this has completely blown me away. Thank you!!! Writing this book has been a dream come true for me, not to mention a MARATHON. Four years!! It all feels very unreal and I’m still waiting for it all to sink in. I did it!! I'm an author!! My book exists!!! 😭
Feels faintly archaic saying things like "the weekend crowd" in space year 2026, but on the off-chance that's still a thing, I'll reshare this piece about a really fascinating upcoming video game because people seemed to quite enjoy it. www.theguardian.com/games/2026/j...
‘An anthem for the co-dependent’: Bad Magpie’s corvid carnage with a side of existential angst
Going by the mantra, if you want to make someone laugh, make them cry first, the game’s developers have created a lonely magpie who fills the void by wreaking havoc

Ricky Haggett@rickyhaggett.bsky.social · 2w agoFans of our games may be interested to know that our long-term collaborator Richard Hogg has a new website up at www.h099.com He's done deep-dives into the art direction process for Flock & I Am Dead, as well as tons of assorted visual treats from his past work which should delight true Hoggheads

@parallaxstella.bsky.social is such a wonderfully thoughtful and disarming interviewer that she had @catherineunger.bsky.social and i yapping in mere minutes about our 3 fav topics: attachment styles, the goofy movie, and toe rings (redacted, understandably)
Stella Chung 😈@parallaxstella.bsky.social · last mo.Bad Magpie is a game I really can't wait to cry to. I was able to chat with the developers after some hands-on time with the demo and got to deep dive into why Bad Magpie was created, how a certain goose game changed the game development, and what this story means to them: youtu.be/aK_qbe8DG-Y
One of the first times I drew our squishy little magpie
As a 3D Artist for Bad Magpie, I decided to make a playdough version with help from my little chef! I think this Magpie maybe met his match as he came to a chaotic end... 🐦🧑🍳 #BadMagpie #IndieDev #IndieGame @milktooth.bsky.social

Guadalindie@guadalindie.bsky.social · last mo.Game: Bad Magpie Studio: Milktooth You are a magpie with one wing, a missing flock, and an unhealthy obsession with a fallen star. Steal shiny trinkets, cause chaos, and stick your beak where it doesn’t belong. Will have a stand on #Guadalindie26! 😎
