This isn't the kind of press anyone wishes for after a game launch, but I'm glad it's being covered. Thanks for the story, @bryantfrancis.me.
Game Developer@gamedeveloper.bsky.social · 3w agoSpin Master lays off Paw Patrol: The Game devs two days after launch
Well, whiplash! Two days after successfully launching PAW Patrol: The Game, everyone at Originator Inc. was unexpectedly laid off by our parent company. I am now open to new opportunities, especially those that might allow for growth into engineering management. reubenbrenneradams.com

Can’t believe this happened two days after successfully launching our game, says only industry where studio closures immediately after product launches happen regularly
✨jesssssss✨@berryfoxes.bsky.social · 4w agoGuys I don’t know how to say this but our studio is being shut down. I’ve got surgery in a few hours but ummm I’ll be open to work after I recover. If anyone needs a 3D character artist with experience working from scratch, optimizing from film, and working with character customizers I’m open 💔
We released a game today! 🥳 I'm excited for kids around the world to try it out. PAW Patrol: The Game takes familiar characters to open-play environments all around Adventure Bay, facilitating creative storytelling and interaction. www.youtube.com/watch?v=suFd... pawpatrolthegame.com

During #GGJ26, ghostmaple and I made a game (and custom Makey Makey-driven controller) about unmasking ICE agents in self defense. Best in browser on desktop, not on mobile. Give it a look if you've got a minute! kangareuben.itch.io/unmask-ice #gamejam #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

I'm done with Duolingo. Why? Because Duolingo is replacing humans with AI. fortune.com/article/duol... I have been committed for 1500 days (4.1 years). I have achieved a real goal of learning basic German. But this is unacceptable.

Tomorrow, @freewaterfalliv.bsky.social and I will be attempting a WMATA speedrun. Beginning at around 7am, we will be trying to visit every DC metro station (all 98!) as quickly as possible. The record is 7:40:05, and anything under 8 hours would be amazing. An adventure! Updates here as they occur.
2024 was a difficult year for game development, but some fantastic games came out! A few favorites: @playbalatro.com by @localthunk.bsky.social Thank Goodness You’re Here! by @coalsupper.bsky.social UFO 50 by @mossmouth.bsky.social et al. Thanks to everyone working on games this year! You rock 🤩
In my 8th year of #0hgame with Twine, I regressed quite a bit (new computer setup/story format), but I still learned how to use a gif as a background, so I suppose that’s a win for spending no time on it! reubenbrenneradams.com/desert/ #gamejam #indiedev

I frequently walk by what is colloquially called “The Barbie Pond” (maps.app.goo.gl/57udwsGxMm7G...), a DC art installation that changes regularly and always includes Barbie dolls. Thought some from outside of DC might like to see. Currently, it’s all decked out for Halloween.
CW: Alcohol consumption. As you may see on my profile, I’ve tried quite a few different beers, including many with unusual tastes and stories. I’ve been thinking about writing here about some of the wilder beers I’ve had the pleasure of drinking. Would folks be interested in that?
