SCOOP: A few weeks before the launch of Star Wars Zero Company, most of the developers at its studio were furloughed The studio says they hope to secure funds to restore their pay. Some are skeptical it'll happen I learned about this via a bitter lawsuit: www.gamefile.news/p/star-wars-...
‘Most’ of Star Wars Zero Company studio Bit Reactor was furloughed ahead of launch
The details emerged amid a legal dispute between company founders. The lawsuit also provides an unexpected look into a studio behind one of the best-reviewed Star Wars games in years

Working with Steve the past year, I’ve learned he's one of those rare people you can just trust to get the job done. Outstanding at coordinating game dev chaos, has a keen eye for narrative, and understands the current state of the industry better than most. Any team that nabs him is lucky!
Steve Heller@hellerphant.hellergood.co · 3w agoI am excited to be heading along to Melbourne International Games Week this year after many years abroad. If you're going to be at #MIGW this year, I am looking to: 👏 Talk about job opportunities 💵 Explore funding opps for cool devs in Kyoto ☕ Catch up with old friends and meet new #indiedevs

Reminder that I do game design consultancy for $25-50/hr (depending on complexity) I have a decade of experience making RPGs and complex games and can promise that with the spreadsheets and patch notes that I've caused and written, I can handle whatever nonsense you have.
In Voidwood, you and your friends play as children lost in a cursed forest, scavenging for supplies and crafting tools by day in order to survive and escape at night when The Beast, an unkillable monstrous force, is unleashed. First details and trailer:
This is the realest shit I've seen written about the games industry, especially for AAA-level productions, in a long time. I feel all of this so much. www.productionalchemist.com/p/inever-see...

Kinda interesting to see a big publicly-traded video game company come out and say 'you know what? we messed up BIG TIME by placing ourselves at the mercy of shareholders.'

Fields of Mistria is launching fully into 1.0 tomorrow!!! I'm so proud of the team for not only making a game happen (impossible task) but also making it one of the best games ever (great news for me AND you!!)
If we could ask a quick favour of any Yarn Spinner user, it would be for those who have purchased YS+ to leave a review. Less than 1% of purchases have left a review. Y'all game devs know how much reviews make a difference, and tools are no different. Help us stand out among AI-coded slop 🙏
This is the energy @colinwilliamson.bsky.social brings into every cutscenes he makes in Awaysis and it's perfect.
