'Game Recomps That Aren't Vibe-Coded' a list of games by WumpaGem | Backloggd
With the sheer abundance of game recompilations built with generative AI tools getting unwarranted attention from clickbait news outlets I felt we need some kind of curated database of recompilations ...

This one needs to get fixed asap, what an absolute nightmare going into launch. Pssst, valve guys who follow…

maybe its a games industry thing but when you're an older adult and most of your multiplayer gaming is either the discord server youve been on for a decade & who's available, or you're scheduling things as literal calendar events add that shit as a social feature in steam IMO

Huh? (Never been, my dad's family traces back to Oakies, my mom's is from Texas, spent my first 30 years in SoCal)

What would a video game feel like with zero sound? We asked three sound designers (@missgameaudio.bsky.social, @rubenrincon.bsky.social & @cabreracomposer.bsky.social ) whose credits include Zero Parades, Control, Gris, and Neva. The answer:
The Sound Team Behind Zero Parades on What a Game Feels Like With No Sound At All: ‘Half-made. Boring.’ - Bonus Action
Bonus Action sat down with Mirella Díez Morán, Rubén Rincón, and Fernando Cabrera to learn about the sounds that make a game.

3D Zeldas, at any point. Including original OoT to TotK. They look amazing! They seem to really resonate with people! I own nearly all of them and bounce off with a comical swiftness.
Kristin 🇨🇦🤓@faierius.bsky.social · 2mo agoNo hate, no dogpiling, just curious. For me, it's Skyrim. Don't know why, considering it should be exactly my kind of game, but it just didn't click for me.
What happens if a creator streams your game and is opted in? Does Twitch think it has the right to feed a developer's game into its AI slop factory? This has deeper ramifications than it seems on the surface.

Ruben’s team delivered an astounding soundscape for Zero Parades. If you’re looking to beef up your game audio team then these folks are gold 🖤
Rubén Rincón@rubenrincon.bsky.social · 3mo agoSadly, the entire audio team at ZA/UM is being made redundant as part of the layoffs. If you're looking (or expect to be looking) for Sound Designers or Tech Sound Designers, please don't hesitate in reaching out to @eliforster.bsky.social, @missgameaudio.bsky.social and @soundbear.bsky.social
I was unfortunately impacted by this. On the upside that means I am now available to work on your game! 20+ year veteran with 9+ years of experience in leading marketing teams as a brand and marketing manager with over 50+ titles to my credit. Available for short or long term projects.

Today I was discussing Executive Dysfunction with some folks, and how in our household we call it "The Sits" I decided to make an info poster. It's based on my personal experience with it. Yes, the person is me 😆 #neurodivergent #memes #executivedysfunction
Never forget that you, that we all, deserve better. They are counting on you forgetting this.
Chris is the best interviewer in the biz and this is one everyone should listen to.
Chris Plante@plante.bsky.social · 4mo agoWhen a game's a hit, publishers often mistake the IP as the success rather than the team. So they invest in a franchise instead of people. "You're probably gonna lose all that core team and nucleus that it took [...] five years of them working together to finally complete each other's sentences"
People talking about leaving the industry, and I get it, but making games is what I love doing and I simply can’t see myself doing anything else. I just want to make good games with a good team.
Financial circumstances mean I am available, possibly even a little desperate, for freelance gigs that can use my abiltiies as a writer (Cryptmaster, Valheim, Ironheart etc) and voice actor (Cryptmaster). Anyone who can pump the visibility on this will have my eternal(ish) gratitude!
