Every day provides me with a bit more evidence to show that going all-in on AI is not, in fact, worth it. Reason tends to lag behind hype, and by the time it catches up, it's often too late.

Somehow we had a successful game launch in 2025: A thread 🧵

We launched Little Rocket Lab this week, and it's been mega for us. Which is amazing, because well, the industry is bad right now!

So I wanna go through the things we did, in the hope that something here can be helpful to someone here

ShortBox Comics Fair @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social · 1d

I know it's a bit of a risk to have so many new faces/work that people may not be familiar with, but I want to use whatever platform I have to champion all kinds of artists, all kinds of approaches. I feel lucky to have a smart readership that gets that and shows their support.

The number is there, and it's scary. If you've ever gone "Let me know when you're doing things so I can help out!" this is the time haha. Your push in this would be:
Either throwing donate info on your stream/a command/etc and/or a spot in the raid train. Thank you all for your help & time!!!

been using chromatic aberration as an alternative to screenshakes by just offsetting the RGB values towards a set direction and distance which just gets lerped back.

feel like it achieves a similar feeling of intensity without taking away visiblity too much?

thoughts? #gamedev

Speaking of (and I apologize for mentioning it here of all places), I had sent you an email last week and I was wondering if you had a chance to look over it yet. Hoping it didn't get sent to spam!
