Yet again, the Game UI Database is being scraped to the point that it's getting knocked offline. Even Cloudflare's "I'm under attack" mode isn't working. I just wanted to create a resource for real designers. I'm getting so fucking sick of this.

Retro Blast 👻@retroblastpod.com · 3w agoWhat's your "origin" video game? Most gamers have a lot of favorite games, sure, but there's always one that basically 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 you. I'm talking about the game that flipped that little switch in your brain and made into a life-long gamer. So, which game is 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨?
Just a friendly reminder, you don't need...that shitty wizard series...for references for wizards. If you wanna draw a wizard or magician fight, look up irl photos of music conductors. You're welcome.
The new game we’re making at @toyful.games is an online co-op puzzle adventure called “Reason and Rhyme”
This upcoming QoL change might seem like the fun gimmick. But to me, it’s a huge accessibility breakthrough. Remembering the songs with adhd was rough as a kid but being able to hum some of the tunes you use the most game breaking! #legendofzelda www.tiktok.com/t/ZP83S4QUR/
This was BIG, but not just for a gimmick, this is absolutely a step foward in accessibility. Having ADHD, I sometimes forget simple things. Being able to hum a song to complete it in the game is BREA...

There are endless studies showing this and also the financial and societal benefits of universal basic income and or housing-first policies but the U.S. never goes for any of it because it would require allowing the poor to receive benefits that the rich consider “undeserved”

As I’m getting older games are getting harder to play. If you make game UI, please design using a TV screen from at least 6 feet away! If it doesn’t fit you’re probably showing too much info at once anyway.

Hi everyone, today me and 22 others at Double Fine were hit by layoffs today. All the people who lost their jobs today care so much about the games they make and the people they work with. If anyone is looking for a tools SE with 7 years of experience and who brings baked goods on Mondays lmk.
If a team makes a game that gets great reviews and doesn't sell, that's a biz failing but the silver lining is you caught lighting in a bottle -- protect that team! It's worth its weight in gold. If you jettison the team but keep the biz people, I don't know what to tell you
Andy Serkis has always been a jerk even back when he started getting big, by trying to shortchange and downplay the hard work of VFX artists and animators to try to glorify himself. Saying that his mocap performances were just "digital make up" instead of celebrating that creative collaboration.

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.
I really enjoyed Arranger. A great top down puzzle adventure
