Undertale was a multimillion dollar game made by like five people and this is how the lead communicated what he wanted to the artist

Targeted harassment campaigns have been an ongoing occupational hazard for game devs since at least 2014 & it’s disappointing that a harassment plan isn’t standard at every game company alongside parental leave and disability

Consider adding this to your union bargaining list if u haven’t already 🤷‍♀️

Low media literacy isn’t just bad because it affects our info ecosystem, it’s also just sad because people are missing out on great media

Like if you watched Chainsaw Man and switched it off because of “fan service” you’re missing some of the best/most disturbing relationship arcs in awhile

good article though unfortunately the game industry is largely controlled by people who are unfamiliar with the history movies, theater, literature, or basically any art form that does not have stats
Despite the controversy, Horses is only shocking if you're unfamiliar with the history movies, theater, literature, or basically any art form that does not have stats. aftermath.site/horses-indie-g...
Horses Is Tame
Horses, the indie game that is too scandalous for either Valve or Epic, is only beyond the pale if you're not familiar with any other art form.

Horses has *such* a cool way of alerting players to nearby items

If we can only have art from people who "aren't in it for the money" that means we can only have art from privileged middle-class dilettantes. Making art being a viable career is responsible for nearly all worthwhile art, and if it's not a viable career any more we will get drastically less of it.

Where’s that tumblr post about how no one sets out to be a fascist, but rather fascism creeps up on well-intentioned people by first whispering to them how moral they are
Steam and Epic can refuse any game depicting necrophilia, slavery, or sexual violence. It violates their policies. No one can "force" them to distribute this. The studio can distribute themselves. No one is stopping them.

Remember that if a budget is “maintained” and not adjusted for inflation, that is a cut!!
NEW: Over 630 people have signed up to speak to Council on Ken Sim's last budget.

ABC councillors now have a choice to make.

Vote for austerity and brutal cuts that nobody asked for - or do the right thing and preserve funding for climate, housing, and arts.

Counting down the days
Congratulations, New York City!!

Zohran Mamdani’s win is historic, the result of a grassroots campaign that fought to make life more affordable.

Vancouver’s next municipal election is October 17, 2026.

I know part of white privilege is that I get to be shocked at racism, but this one still slapped me right across the face. Like if finding out POC call older relations “aunty/uncle” was this upsetting, I hope they’re sitting down when they find out you can use “aunty” for a non-related family friend

A shot from the opening of a PlayStation2 title, Silent Hill 3. The effect of the blinds shadow overlays was by the lead programmer Norihito Hatakeda and Fukushima. If they hadn't been in the team, the Heather's narrative would have been a mediocre one.

@seanorr.bsky.social Thank you for your amendments on Motion 1 today. They may get shot down but by forcing them to vote “no” you exposed in no uncertain terms what their motivations are

@rebeccaleebligh.bsky.social thanks for speaking sense on the topic of Motion 1 today.

@sarahkirbyyung.bsky.social Please don’t even run again next year 👎

Hot take: your game writing portfolio isn't what gets you hired. Studios assume you can write. What they're really checking:

Can you make stories playable?
Can you work with a team?
Will you take feedback well?

Your samples get you in the door. Your collaboration skills get you the job 🎮
