Director of Games @meta. Thirty years of game dev, incl. Dead Secret, Wind-up Knight, and sick Hypercard stacks. I am a walking encyclopedia of horror games.

One of Hideo Kojima's real talents is that he would have exactly this idea but the stew would be dropped off by a drone that sings a little jingle which can alert enemies if they're in range. You then get a phone call from a nuclear scientist who warns you not to eat too much starch and dairy.

yeah sure whatever, let lara croft cook potato stew on her phone for 2m0s of damage resistance who gives a shit anymore

a screenshot from the upcoming remake of Tomb Raider 1. lara croft is looking at her phone in the middle of an ancient ruin, and it's showing her a generic crafting menu, and a png of saucepan of stew that apparently her phone lets her cook for "Damage resistance" if she has 6 potatoes

Been in games and freelance for ~14 years now. I'm a skilled pixel artist, illustrator, graphic designer, storyboarder, who can also do some animation and simple 3D work.

Well, we did it - more than $250k for game devs who have been laid off, to be distributed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. Congratulations and thanks to everyone who donated their time, games, and money to help folks out in a time of need.

Alright y'all, this is it! The final stretch for the game industry hardship fund. We've got $13k to raise in 14 hours to meet the final goal, I think we can do it. itch.io/b/3802/game-...

There's a vague message about individualism and the collapse of society embedded in the way Shift At Midnight sets up its endings, one that I'm not sure it's even aware of. It's a Papers Please-like in which the way to get the best ending is to let everybody through so that you can monetize them.

Not only is this a super cool thing to be doing for our industry, there are some badass games in this bundle. I bought it, so should you.

In response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...

"OK sir, this is going to be a very normal family photo of you and your wife and beautiful children standing in front of your house. Now I'm going to need you to stand way apart from each other, that's right. Now Timmy, love the outfit, go do the trance thing you do over by the fountain. Perfect."
