Played Horses at a Day of the Devs and was immediately obsessed. You want to talk about games being artistic endeavors? SAVE HORSES.
Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

I'm immensely sick of the figure heads of game dev companies being silent about the harassment of game devs. This is how this nonsense becomes "the norm" and it should have never been accepted as such in the first place.

My spoiler free review of Wicked: For Good.... It's good. But I was too distracted for the entire second half of the movie because I was thinking about this (iykyk):

Kingdom Hearts🫠
After "film trilogy that dropped a critical plot point exclusively via timed Fortnite event" and "video game series whose story only makes sense if you're aware of the events of a canon pachinko machine", I feel like there are whole frontiers of user-hostile narrative design waiting to be explored.

On this particular day I want to say that a critic's job is to criticize art, and an artist's job is to make something that resonates with specific people, which necessarily means it won't resonate with others. If every critic liked a piece of art, one or the other of us would not be doing our jobs.

America's first ever esports champion was Rebecca Heineman, a trans woman. She went on to found some of your favorite video game studios and worked on your favorite video games. Next time you see somebody rail about 'woke' and 'DEI'
Remember that.
Remember her.

Listen. There’s a lot of discourse happening right now. But never forget the core truth of our craft: we’re all just weird little guys making weird little guys.

TGA/GotY discourse always makes it clear that:

1. There is not a singular "video game industry" (and hasn't been for a while), but instead a bunch of disparate scenes that no one person could hope to cover entirely (or realistically care about), but

2. Most folks don't realize it.

Two things can be true: 1.) The Game Awards are meaningless and we shouldn't take them all that seriously. 2.) Award shows of its scale DO rewrite the mainstream history of the art form, whether they deserve to or not, and its okay to care that it's so thoughtless despite having that responsibility.

what if instead of quibbling over indie vs not indie, awards had weightclasses, measured in size of team x duration of development
