The X-MEN Logo & Font Generator is live now! Featuring the classic blocky wedge-shape that made the original an instant classic. Now starts the countdown to the inevitable reboot of this generator, in keeping with the spirt of the franchise.
X-Men Logo Font Generator
Turn any word or phrase into the X-Men '97 wordmark (same as the original 90's cartoon series) — the same beveled, receding-perspective wedge lettering that traces back through five redraws to Jim Steranko's 1968 original.

Happy to report that I was invited to a neighborhood MtG group suitably titled, “Magic Dads”.
I saw this picture and immediately had to show it to some level designers.
Loving Big Walk but, man, I wish they’d turn off collisions for all the scrub, small rocks, and stuff. Feel like I’m constantly getting hung up on things and it doesn’t add anything to the experience.
This bears out at every meetup I go to where a dev is stuck and I ask about the narrative; what would the story inspire? What would the character(s) want to do? The answer is usually stunned thinking because narrative isn’t something they’ve fully considered (if at all).
AFNarratives@afnarratives.blacksky.app · 2w agoGames would be in a lot better place as a medium if games narrative was considered a structural core like programming instead of gorilla glue and masking tape to cover up other problems
I recently attended a “crisis PR” conference with PR teams from across major retailers/industries where we broke up into teams and had to come up with plans for fictional batshit scenarios. None even came close to this.

I didn’t even see this had been announced. I was lead writer on this one! And Saber replaced me with ChatGPT midway through development. All the passenger voices were AI too. Either they changed direction at some point or they’re not disclosing it on Steam

I'm always drawn toward practical thoughts on game design and I like this article on location-based gaming because it attempts to wrangle actual location-based game mechanics and how they apply to theme and intent (in this case, within an ecological framework). mediaenviron.org/article/1625...

My life would be dramatically improved if I had a workshop. Separate, attached, well-lit, and climate controlled with a wide table. Dramatically improved.
AI plundering continuing, this time with this garbage website that’s taken a bunch of parser games and generated bizarre art for them. Like, I don’t even understand this interpretation of my game. If you’re going to steal my shit, at least make it look good. Grotesque on so many levels.
In honor of the end of the show, we've uploaded a bunch of old favorites--and one brand new design--to our shop! xplainthexmen.dashery.com
