Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

The unannounced Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 has been rated by the ESRB. Seems to be published by Daybreak Game Company this time? (Focus Entertainment published the first game.)

Atlassian loves to push an unnecessary change to Jira over the weekend so Monday sprint planning can start off chaotic

Played DND for the first time in awhile last night so made the Castle Amber Onion Soup and Dwarven Tide-Me-Over meatballs from the official cookbook.

I have been working on a tedious side project that has been extremely manual and has sucked tremendous amounts of ass but @dukedonuts.bsky.social just automated it for me in a single afternoon and now I no longer hate this fucking project

Discordia Dystopia🔜TwitchCon🔜DevGAMM @discordiadystopia.bsky.social · 6d

Gonna have to snag one next year 👀👀

Actual footage of me trying not to talk about all the cool things that are happening at @akuparagames.bsky.social that I'm not allowed to talk about yet

Discordia Dystopia🔜TwitchCon🔜DevGAMM @discordiadystopia.bsky.social · 9d

Missed having you there, Mr Master

Discordia Dystopia🔜TwitchCon🔜DevGAMM @discordiadystopia.bsky.social · 9d

“From QA, I managed to… convert that into a production and marketing path.”

In this clip from our recent Meet the Team interview, our COO Alyssa Kollgaard (@discordiadystopia.bsky.social) talks about how her career in games got started.

I will be speaking at @devgamm.bsky.social alongside my colleague @dukedonuts.bsky.social - we are giving a talk entitled "Why Players Stay (or Leave) and What to Do About it"

It's all about product design and player motivations, and the psychology and philosophy behind designing for retention.

Working at a fully remote studio means that meeting in person is often a luxury. Luckily we manage a few like this from over the weekend at LA Comic Con!

Took the kids to LACC to visit @themix.bsky.social and see the @airframeultra.bsky.social and My Pet Hooligan setups. I'm glad I get to share a love of games with my babies!

Discordia Dystopia🔜TwitchCon🔜DevGAMM @discordiadystopia.bsky.social · 15d

The My Pet Hooligan Steam playtest is live and has 60 signups in less than 15 minutes. Wild!

Head over to the Steam to join in on the chaotic cartoony madness yourself: store.steampowered.com/app/3574840/...

MPH also be at LACC in The Mix booth this weekend, if you want to try it out in-person!

Thank you!

A bunch of my friends are going for the first time this year and I'm sad to not join them.

I was ALSO thinking of Wastelanding at LACC. That's part of why I can't make Wasteland this year (work obligations)

Discordia Dystopia🔜TwitchCon🔜DevGAMM @discordiadystopia.bsky.social · 19d

I won't be at Wasteland Weekend this week so I'm remaking my Wasteland crust pants to combat FOMO and because I outgrew the original pair. Slow going, still lots to pin and sew. 🫠

I *WILL* however, be at LACC, The Cortege, Vola AND the Databricks dinner all this week so I'll still be v. busy

I've had enough sidequests lately that I haven't started any new jackets...pulled out some patches for one more more music focused synthwave piece. Deciding what stays and goes.

I have a couple jackets to finish but I think I've mostly moved on from this craft for now to focus on other things!

Name a better feeling as a game dev than holding a game you worked on in your hands.

Thanks @serenityforge.com @alamodegames.bsky.social @akuparagames.bsky.social for making it happen!
