Ben Lesnick@banditloaf.wcnews.com · 2d agoIt’s the role she was born to play!
while rebuilding my PC, turns out I still have that video of the phone game with the greatest character lines you've ever heard saved reposting this banger here so people don't think im having a stroke when i quote it
Surprise, I'm now co-founder at a new indie game development studio!
Raze and Rebuild Studio@razeandrebuild.bsky.social · 2d agoRaze and Rebuild Studio - A game dev team rising from the ashes. It's should be no surprise that, over the last few years, finding or keeping a stable job in the video game industry hasn't been easy.

HALF NELSON was a 1985 Joe Pesci TV series that was cancelled after 9 episodes, but its intro seems to last forever via an escalating cavalcade of absurd cast reveals, underscored by a theme song that feels like a gag gift when you can't license "I Love L.A."...
Holy shit: Deutsche Bahn has made the insane decision to stop all train traffic between Düsseldorf and Cologne... during the week of Gamescom.
So Europe decided that actually, life was too easy for micro businesses and thought "what if we made things insanely more costly and complicated for people all living within the EU" with PPWR huh ? This feels so incredibly short sighted and messy that I can only hope they roll it back fast
Pseudoregalia has been great fun, scratching that 3d metroidvania itch (although i wish the map was a bit better). Discovering the hidden dash tech is also super nice
A question for my fellow game devs out there, as someone who has been into 2D for a while and got into 3D level design recently. What would be your methodologies when you gotta design rather large 3d spaces where you have to go from point A to B while having a pretty permissive moveset?
I gotta remake my movement system with playmaker 2, so might as well stream it otherwise i'm gonna go insane twitch.tv/hoot_patoots

Add me to the pile that isn't really thrilled of having double crossovers for the Evercold raids. I just feel this closes the raid offs to people who don't know/don't care about EVA or FF7. I'm sure it'll be fun mechanically, but they get nothing story wise aside the msq for a whole expac?
Over a year ago, we built a prototype for a new Myst Universe game meant for publisher eyes only. This project is NOT in active development, but we're proud of the work the team did, and wanted to share it with you all. Presenting: Project Anglerfish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvNGt02yZNc
