This is infuriating and tragic but I also wonder if we couldn’t crowdfund 100k to keep Santa Ragione open—they make some of the strangest and most interesting games.
Santa Ragione co-founder Pietro Righi Riva addresses the studio's potential closure in an exclusive interview with GamesIndustry.biz. "There will likely be no money left to make a new [game]... Unless a miracle happens and Horses does very well."

This weekend I participated as a Writer and Narrative Designer in the IGDA Game Writing SIG's Arcjam. The theme was RESILIENCE ⚠️
I'm proud of what my teams accomplished given the scope, and I learned a lot from the process. And best of all: I made new friends and had fun! 🕹️
Thank you for playing 💙

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

Thanksgiving, but instead of turkey, game developers get free chat/troubleshooting on their narrative/writing plans, and I get to recommend talented folks for the future.
Send through a DM or visit www.gregbuchanangames.com/contact -- happy to advise and chat as best I can throughout the week!

Jennifer English realizing she's a lesbian and falling in love with one of her mocap directors (Aliona Baranova) over the course of making BG3 and seeing all the queer folks embracing Shadowheart and the impact the game had is genuinely one of the best stories in game production in a long time
Congrats to Jennifer English for winning the Best Lead Performer award at the 2025 #GoldenJoystickAwards!
And her acceptance speech about queer joy was a love letter to @aliona.bsky.social 🥹🌈
