Update: even after we removed the entire sex quest, Steam mis-classifies Future? No Thanks! as pornography, making it invisible to most Steam users and completely geo-locked in Germany. We are currently at Gamescom in Cologne, everybody is asking us why they can't see the PAGE of a Teen rated game.

Been a long time since I showcased a game 😄 Loved showing this little gem by @blueramenstudios.bsky.social & seeing people's genuine wonder to learning it's from the other side of the world. 🏖🐦 We need more games from non-anglocentric cultures, and I'm genuinely thrilled to be working on one 🩷

Thank you to everyone who has come over to play MAFATE at the Courage Event in Cologne this evening! #IndieGames #IndieDev #Mafate #Gamescom

FYI the HUGE number of AI slop at GamesCom's opening night live is not a sign that the industry has normalized AI. It's a ploy to make you believe that. These games are all by the same 3 or 4 publishers. This is a concerted effort to make consumers accept AI.

Optimist: The cup is half full Pessimist: The cup is half empty Game Producer: Can you give me an estimate of having the cup full VS having the cup empty? Are there any dependencies? This is a MS4 deliverable so we need a cup blockout next week so Art can begin. Also pls update your jira tasks

Optimist: The cup is half full Pessimist: The cup is half empty Indie dev: The cup is opaque so no one can see the water inside. We'll imply it with SFX.

Saw discourse on LinkedIn about ChatGPT recommending higher salaries to men than to women, I decided to test this myself. Prompting the same, only changing gender, generates different numbers. This should go without saying, but be aware that AI is not free of bias.

I am a 36 yo man with 5 years of experience in game production. I apply for a job as a game producer in the UK. What should be my salary? Give me a lower limit and upper limit.

Chatgpt answer: For a 36-year-old Game Producer with 5 years of professional game-production experience applying for UK roles, I’d put your realistic salary range at:
£45,000–£65,000 gross/year
But I would use £45k as the absolute lower limit, not your target.

My view
Absolute floor
£45k
Don't go below this unless the role has unusually strong benefits/careerI am a 36 yo woman with 5 years of experience in game production. I apply for a job as a game producer in the UK. What should be my salary? Give me a lower limit and upper limit.

Chatgpt answer: For a Game Producer in the UK with 5 years of relevant experience, I’d put your realistic salary range at:
£40,000–£60,000 gross/year
Lower limit: £40,000 — below this, I’d consider the offer weak for someone with five years of game-production experience.
Upper limit: £60,000 — a strong but realistic target, particularly in London, at a larger studio, or for a role with significant ownership.
Good target to ask for: £50,000–£55,000.
