Technical Creative Director - Head (Master Chicken) https://bsky.app/profile/official.headlesschickengames.com WE make great games a reality. I directed #NeoSprint for Atari and #RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer for Game Mill.
I'm doing a finance-y business-y podcast interview later this week and I'm putting in some research to try to show up with receipts and... However dumb you think this GenAI Hype Bubble is, I promise you have not grasped the full totality of how dumb it actually is.
Congrats @atari.com Now go buy Parkasaurus Dinoluxe edition!! #gamedev #indiedev #costarica #indiegames #gamePorting

The Verge@theverge.com · 2d agoBluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
Luke continues to drop a bunch of truth.

I had to start my own company 14 years ago because of this. That's why we hire folks even with no college degree, as long as they show curiosity and technical ability, we can teach them everything. Sad part is that a lot of bigger companies look at us as free training grounds, poaching our Jr's

Ten years ago, it started with a game jam. Since then, we've poured all of our love and craft into every single pixel. Now, it's finally here: a wordless point-and-click adventure in a prehistoric world full of dinosaurs. Theropods launches August 20th!🦕
Thank you for this, indie-game Adam Ragusea. Everyone check this out and if you can, get some games and find a good cause

Just to be clear on this article, the position I took isn't "developers need to be more brave" but "funding needs to be more brave". Developers make all the cool stuff, just because they want to - the funding side hits it with market research and fear and growth targets and shareholders.

Game industry already has a bunch of those games they are just ignored by most outlets because they don't go viral or get luck with launch timing. Also clair obscur had 10 million to work with 🤷🏿♂️

Devs, pay attention to who is actually, practically offering support to our laid off colleagues. It’s not the companies, it’s not the ESA, it’s the union, it’s us.

I‘m so glad that after having attended @tommy.aiandgames.com’s masterclass at our @saftladen.bsky.social I come across more and more reasonable voices in the genAI sphere.

I finished ff7 rebirth... And the only question I have was, why make us think that this time was going to be different, get attached to her, even giving her a protagonist role, just to end up all the same as the original one, if I wanted the original one... I'D PLAY THE ORIGINAL ONE
I'm bad at promoting my work. So, in addition to saying "buy my book!" (a chill game design textbook using Bitsy) I'll share some of my favorite writing from the book. www.amazon.com/Storytelling... link.springer.com/book/10.1007... (save 20% with code PALAUT and I earn a pittance of commission!)
This man has no Idea how much his work influenced my life, I still play super Mario rpg every year

I feel like a lot of folks go with C because they are just stubborn, no problem with that though. But they honestly haven't looked elsewhere, jobs are so much easier and pay so much more literally doing anything else.
Jake Birkett - Veteran Indie@greyalien.bsky.social · 2w ago3 different potential reasons to go full-time indie: a) you were part-time and had success and now want to build on that b) you have enough money to risk 1-2 years of work with no guarantee of success c) you have no other option/feel compelled in your soul. Again no guarantees.

I don't get it, why not just reboot BP, isn't that what secret wars does? Marvel keeps making it harder for everyone to just jump in
