It is absolutely infuriating and disheartening that pro-union employees are beholden to all sorts of ethical, legal, and strategic hurdles when discussing unionizing on company channels - and meanwhile an anti-union guy can spend days ranting in Slack, sowing doubt and discord.
Back in May, Double Fine employees petitioned for a union. Two weeks later, that petition was withdrawn. What happened? https://kotaku.com/inside-the-failed-fight-to-unionize-one-of-gamings-most-idealized-studios-2000742755
Trying to learn more about Steam’s backend to get better at my Job and there’s so many genAI slop articles and grifters trying to sell me courses that I’m going to have to make a game and read the official documentation instead 😔

Lots of good reasons to be frustrated with the rise of genAI but the idea that it'll accelerate our ability to make More Stuff is driving me crazy. We simply do not need More Stuff! and certainly not Faster!

As Order of the Sinking Star is coming out next month, in advance of review coverage coming in I wanted to add one thing to my last statement about the game: bsky.app/profile/drak... (note: at that time I didn’t have a separate personal account)
So, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.

criminally underrated game. your favorite game dev's favorite game
NORCO is $5 on Steam until Thursday October 8th.
Hey indie devs: what's the one thing you would like Valve to change about how Steam works?
Sage advice here. I lopped about 60 games off my wishlist that I was just never going to buy, but unfortunately I now feel compelled to buy 20 games so actually maybe don't do this to yourself
with the steam autumn sale in full swing I'm deciding to make a rule that if a game on my wishlist goes 70%+ on sale and I still don't immediately pick it up then I think I probably just don't actually want the game and should remove it from my wishlists
Really loved Detective Instinct. Got me into ADVs again, and rekindled my appreciation for the Nintendo DS. It’s nostalgic in the best way, as it’s not directly emulating any one thing, but is instead presenting the feeling that came with playing its inspirations for the first time
Yes, we are, in fact, 30% for the Steam Autumn Sale. But did you know we also have bundles available with 3 other recent ADVs/VNs? Even if you've already played our game, you should check our bundle list, might be able to get a better deal on some new games 👁️ store.steampowered.com/bundlelist/2...
New Onimusha is the first game in a while where I’m like “this bit of combat is so sick but I can’t wait for the next cutscene” only to say during a cutscene “this cutscene is so sick but I can’t wait for the next bit of combat”
