We wanted to launch Duskpunk on Switch and PS5 today, but we ran into a snag and couldn't be sure that it would be live on all stores. Not ideal, but I think the issue should be fixed in a day or two. So we'll try again tomorrow!

I think I often find myself, when we talk about elections, thinking… when push comes to shove, if the proletariat really threatened the ruling class, would this person encourage us to seize power or would they negotiate with the bourgeoisie and send us home. Would I bet my life on it?

Jesus... I knew it was bad, but wiping out almost all of Id Software's coders - the most experienced engine coders and optimizers in the entire business - is ABSOLUTELY INSANE.
“Most, if not all,” of Id Software’s coders, 60-70 Obsidian developers, and more veteran developers have reportedly been laid off from Microsoft as the scale of this week’s big Xbox cuts becomes clearer. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/xbox-la...
If you think games are in a bad state, there are demos that can fix you: - Virtue and a Sledghammer - Entropy - Moldrise - Penguin Colony - Burn-9 (that’s just what I have time to play which is no time at all!) There’s so many ideas still to explore and so many people doing it. Don’t ignore them.

Turns out that despite my attempts to not tell on myself constantly @julianbenson.bsky.social has got me down. Signet City has been growing in my brain since it set down roots in 2018: www.rockpapershotgun.com/play-a-paras...
Our friendly-faced rivals at PC Gamer might think they exclusively revealed the new RPG from Citizen Sleeper's creator, but I have relevant unused quotes from an old feature and I'm not afraid to use ...
Signet City is new game from Citizen Sleeper creator Gareth Damian Martin. The first-person RPG sees you play a brain parasite.

Another Sunday, another stupidly ambitious game idea 🙃
We’re pretty thrilled with this - TR-49 has been nominated for *two* Apple design awards We love the mobile form factor and always have - the immediacy of it and the lower barrier to entry - and we’re dead chuffed to have that recognised!
Apple's annual design award nominations include nods for Inkle, Devolver, FuturLab, Toppluva, Sound Games and Arknights: Endfield maker Hypergryph: mobilegamer.biz/inkle-devolv...
Comparing people’s living conditions in 1901 to now is already silly & serves no meaningful purpose so let’s talk about numbers that matter to Alive People In 2016 Elon Musk’s wealth was 11 billion dollars. Today it is 800 billion dollars. Federal minimum wage in 2009 was 7.25. Today it is 7.25.
30 years ago Richard Garfield released the game he considers his masterpiece. invented to fix all the problems he saw in magic the gathering, a game he pitched in a moment of panic when robo rally got turned down. still the best game ever made
