Whenever I work on menus I think of Shigeru Miyamoto's 1999 GDC talk "countless features are taken for granted Title and Registration screens, dialog system, item select windows, etc I call these parts of the game Labor. I'm always trying to design games which feature as few of these as possible

Most folks know about rubber ducking, where you explain a process to an inanimate object, and it makes you understand your own train of thought. But I rarely see folks use another method, which I call 'walking outsideing', where you get up from your computer and let the real world refresh your mind

AlmaElma at the old CDRomance site just published an updated & modded all-in-one pack for Magic: the Gathering - Shandalar. Easy way to play one of the coolest TCG video games ever.

Oh hey look it's exactly what I've been saying since I started indie game dev. Make games for you, and people will get excited about something unique and interesting. Make games to try to capture the largest possible audience, and you'll make something generic.

Shigeru Miyamoto says the games that resonate most with players all around the world aren’t those deliberately designed for global appeal, but those based on a developer’s personal interests. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/miyamot...

Chinese courts have consistently ruled that digital purchases are assets that belong to you, and can be inherited. And that any EULA the companies make you agree to can't override this. In stark contrast to here where we keep finding out companies can take away your digital goods on a whim.

Chinese courts allow heirs to inherit accounts of deceased gamers — multiple cases spanning years establish precedent for digital ownership of games, in-game items, and microtransactions

Your kids can inherit your digital game library if you're in China.

Looks like the Sony PR team has begun its consent manufacturing operation among the media in the past 24 hours. I wonder how many other gaming outlets and influencers this week will also happen to put up posts/articles/videos declaring that eliminating physical media from consoles is good, actually?

Tweet from the official Gizmodo account posted 16 hours ago linking to an article with the headline “Game Discs Deserve to Die.” The accompanying photo is that of a hand with painted fingernails placing a silver-bottomed disc into a PlayStation 5.Tweet from the official Polygon account posted 23 hours ago stating “I won’t mourn Playstation discs” with a link to a self-styled “spicy takes” op-ed column. The accompanying photo is of a PlayStation 4 ejecting a copy of 2013’s Killzone Shadow Fall, the first PS4 title to sell over one million copies whose servers were nevertheless shut down in 2022 such that all you can do with a copy these days is play its lackluster single player campaign.
