What a fun way to present your new game 🛻
I green-screened myself into my new game to tell you all about my new game I’m such a nerd 🤓
My new game is about driving a 4x4 in a Furniture Store

So @ustwogames.co.uk becoming pc first, not premium mobile makes total sense and I think is the right strategy. It's harder to build an audience of your players can get your games through subscription platforms initially. mobilegamer.biz/ustwo-games-...
Ustwo Games is ‘weaning itself off’ Apple Arcade and Netflix amid strategy shifts
CEO Maria Sayans says the London studio is going ‘PC first’ after Monument Valley 3 fell victim to Netflix’s shifting games strategy.

I thought mobile premium games were dead, but iOS accounting for 35% of this revenue is pretty good (lots of Apple featuring support helps)
proud to report that Rift Riff earned enough to break-even its development costs! it's currently at ±€130k net from Steam, App Store, and Google Play.
Rift Riff team members share in the game's profit, so the money that continues to trickle in is also theirs <3

Otto's Basketball Game, version 1.0.0, is now done :--) The game is freeware, and you can play it on (or download it from) Itchio.

It's a simple one-button basketball game with lots of silly details and a good kind of homemade feel to it.

Gameplay (1/2) – for intuitive 1 hand controls, we added a hidden virtual joystick to move the character, activated by touching anywhere. the touch drags its joystick base with it, something that's super intuitive on touch.
(explainer video: white is the joystick base, blue the touch position)

I was lucky enough to watch Daft Punk perform from their pyramid in 2007. On Saturday as a family we watched our child in the scheduled/live event in Fortnite. Honestly it was amazing and one of the best things that platform has done. Video from someone else: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvhd...
